24 ### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
26 * Dropped interactive mode from the 'openssl' program. From now on,
27 the `openssl` command without arguments is equivalent to `openssl
32 * Renamed EVP_PKEY_cmp() to EVP_PKEY_eq() and
33 EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() to EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq().
34 While the old function names have been retained for backward compatibility
35 they should not be used in new developments
36 because their return values are confusing: Unlike other `_cmp()` functions
37 they do not return 0 in case their arguments are equal.
41 * Deprecated EC_METHOD_get_field_type(). Applications should switch to
42 EC_GROUP_get_field_type().
46 * Deprecated EC_GFp_simple_method(), EC_GFp_mont_method(),
47 EC_GF2m_simple_method(), EC_GFp_nist_method(), EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
48 EC_GFp_nistp256_method(), and EC_GFp_nistp521_method().
49 Applications should rely on the library automatically assigning a suitable
50 EC_METHOD internally upon EC_GROUP construction.
54 * Deprecated EC_GROUP_new(), EC_GROUP_method_of(), and EC_POINT_method_of().
55 EC_METHOD is now an internal-only concept and a suitable EC_METHOD is
56 assigned internally without application intervention.
57 Users of EC_GROUP_new() should switch to a different suitable constructor.
61 * Add CAdES-BES signature verification support, mostly derived
62 from ESSCertIDv2 TS (RFC 5816) contribution by Marek Klein.
64 *Filipe Raimundo da Silva*
66 * Add CAdES-BES signature scheme and attributes support (RFC 5126) to CMS API.
70 * Deprecated EC_POINT_make_affine() and EC_POINTs_make_affine(). These
71 functions are not widely used and now OpenSSL automatically perform this
72 conversion when needed.
76 * Deprecated EC_GROUP_precompute_mult(), EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult(), and
77 EC_KEY_precompute_mult(). These functions are not widely used and
78 applications should instead switch to named curves which OpenSSL has
79 hardcoded lookup tables for.
83 * Deprecated EC_POINTs_mul(). This function is not widely used and applications
84 should instead use the L<EC_POINT_mul(3)> function.
88 * Removed FIPS_mode() and FIPS_mode_set(). These functions are legacy API's
89 that are not applicable to the new provider model. Applications should
90 instead use EVP_default_properties_is_fips_enabled() and
91 EVP_default_properties_enable_fips().
95 * The SSL option SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF is introduced. If that option
96 is set, an unexpected EOF is ignored, it pretends a close notify was received
97 instead and so the returned error becomes SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN.
101 * Deprecated EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and
102 EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp(). These functions are not widely
103 used and applications should instead use the
104 L<EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates(3)> and
105 L<EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates(3)> functions.
109 * Added OSSL_PARAM_BLD to the public interface. This allows OSSL_PARAM
110 arrays to be more easily constructed via a series of utility functions.
111 Create a parameter builder using OSSL_PARAM_BLD_new(), add parameters using
112 the various push functions and finally convert to a passable OSSL_PARAM
113 array using OSSL_PARAM_BLD_to_param().
117 * EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(), and
118 EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() can now handle EVP_PKEYs with provider side
119 internal keys, if they correspond to one of those built in types.
123 * Added EVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt(), to initialise an EVP_PKEY to
124 contain a provider side internal key.
128 * ASN1_verify(), ASN1_digest() and ASN1_sign() have been deprecated.
129 They are old functions that we don't use, and that you could disable with
130 the macro NO_ASN1_OLD. This goes all the way back to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
134 * The main project documents (README, NEWS, CHANGES, INSTALL, SUPPORT)
135 have been converted to Markdown with the goal to produce documents
136 which not only look pretty when viewed online in the browser, but
137 remain well readable inside a plain text editor.
139 To achieve this goal, a 'minimalistic' Markdown style has been applied
140 which avoids formatting elements that interfere too much with the
141 reading flow in the text file. For example, it
143 * avoids [ATX headings][] and uses [setext headings][] instead
144 (which works for `<h1>` and `<h2>` headings only).
145 * avoids [inline links][] and uses [reference links][] instead.
146 * avoids [fenced code blocks][] and uses [indented code blocks][] instead.

155 *Matthias St. Pierre*
157 * The test suite is changed to preserve results of each test recipe.
158 A new directory test-runs/ with subdirectories named like the
159 test recipes are created in the build tree for this purpose.
163 * Added an implementation of CMP and CRMF (RFC 4210, RFC 4211 RFC 6712).
164 This adds crypto/cmp/, crpyto/crmf/, apps/cmp.c, and test/cmp_*.
165 See L<openssl-cmp(1)> and L<OSSL_CMP_exec_IR_ses(3)> as starting points.
167 *David von Oheimb, Martin Peylo*
169 * Generalized the HTTP client code from crypto/ocsp/ into crpyto/http/.
170 The legacy OCSP-focused and only partly documented API is retained.
171 See L<OSSL_CMP_MSG_http_perform(3)> etc. for details.
175 * BIO_do_connect and BIO_do_handshake have been extended:
176 If domain name resolution yields multiple IP addresses all of them are tried
177 after connect() failures.
181 * All of the low level RSA functions have been deprecated including:
183 RSA_new_method, RSA_size, RSA_security_bits, RSA_get0_pss_params,
184 RSA_get_version, RSA_get0_engine, RSA_generate_key_ex,
185 RSA_generate_multi_prime_key, RSA_X931_derive_ex, RSA_X931_generate_key_ex,

198 RSA_verify_PKCS1_PSS, RSA_padding_add_PKCS1_PSS, RSA_verify_PKCS1_PSS_mgf1,
199 RSA_padding_add_PKCS1_PSS_mgf1, RSA_set_ex_data, RSA_get_ex_data,
200 RSA_meth_new, RSA_meth_free, RSA_meth_dup, RSA_meth_get0_name,
201 RSA_meth_set1_name, RSA_meth_get_flags, RSA_meth_set_flags,
202 RSA_meth_get0_app_data, RSA_meth_set0_app_data, RSA_meth_get_pub_enc,
203 RSA_meth_set_pub_enc, RSA_meth_get_pub_dec, RSA_meth_set_pub_dec,
204 RSA_meth_get_priv_enc, RSA_meth_set_priv_enc, RSA_meth_get_priv_dec,
205 RSA_meth_set_priv_dec, RSA_meth_get_mod_exp, RSA_meth_set_mod_exp,

208 RSA_meth_get_sign, RSA_meth_set_sign, RSA_meth_get_verify,
209 RSA_meth_set_verify, RSA_meth_get_keygen, RSA_meth_set_keygen,
210 RSA_meth_get_multi_prime_keygen and RSA_meth_set_multi_prime_keygen.
212 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
213 time. Instead applications should use L<EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init(3)>,
214 L<EVP_PKEY_encrypt(3)>, L<EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init(3)> and
215 L<EVP_PKEY_decrypt(3)>.
219 * X509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at security
221 In TLS/SSL the default security level is 1. It can be set either
222 using the cipher string with @SECLEVEL, or calling
223 SSL_CTX_set_security_level(). If the leaf certificate is signed with SHA-1,
224 a call to SSL_CTX_use_certificate() will fail if the security level is not
226 Outside TLS/SSL, the default security level is -1 (effectively 0). It can
227 be set using X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_auth_level() or using the -auth_level
232 * The command line utilities dhparam, dsa, gendsa and dsaparam have been
233 modified to use PKEY APIs. These commands are now in maintenance mode
234 and no new features will be added to them.
238 * The command line utility rsautl has been deprecated.
239 Instead use the pkeyutl program.
243 * The command line utilities genrsa and rsa have been modified to use PKEY
244 APIs These commands are now in maintenance mode and no new features will
249 * All of the low level DH functions have been deprecated including:
251 DH_OpenSSL, DH_set_default_method, DH_get_default_method, DH_set_method,
252 DH_new_method, DH_size, DH_security_bits, DH_get_ex_new_index,
253 DH_set_ex_data, DH_get_ex_data, DH_generate_parameters_ex,
254 DH_check_params_ex, DH_check_ex, DH_check_pub_key_ex,
255 DH_check, DH_check_pub_key, DH_generate_key, DH_compute_key,
256 DH_compute_key_padded, DHparams_print_fp, DHparams_print, DH_get_nid,
257 DH_KDF_X9_42, DH_get0_engine, DH_meth_new, DH_meth_free, DH_meth_dup,
258 DH_meth_get0_name, DH_meth_set1_name, DH_meth_get_flags, DH_meth_set_flags,
259 DH_meth_get0_app_data, DH_meth_set0_app_data, DH_meth_get_generate_key,
260 DH_meth_set_generate_key, DH_meth_get_compute_key, DH_meth_set_compute_key,
261 DH_meth_get_bn_mod_exp, DH_meth_set_bn_mod_exp, DH_meth_get_init,
262 DH_meth_set_init, DH_meth_get_finish, DH_meth_set_finish,
263 DH_meth_get_generate_params and DH_meth_set_generate_params.
265 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
266 time. Instead applications should use L<EVP_PKEY_derive_init(3)>
267 and L<EVP_PKEY_derive(3)>.
271 * All of the low level DSA functions have been deprecated including:
273 DSA_do_sign, DSA_do_verify, DSA_OpenSSL, DSA_set_default_method,
274 DSA_get_default_method, DSA_set_method, DSA_get_method,
275 DSA_new_method, DSA_size, DSA_security_bits, DSA_sign_setup, DSA_sign,
276 DSA_verify, DSA_get_ex_new_index, DSA_set_ex_data, DSA_get_ex_data,
277 DSA_generate_parameters_ex, DSA_generate_key, DSA_meth_new, DSA_get0_engine,
278 DSA_meth_free, DSA_meth_dup, DSA_meth_get0_name, DSA_meth_set1_name,
279 DSA_meth_get_flags, DSA_meth_set_flags, DSA_meth_get0_app_data,
280 DSA_meth_set0_app_data, DSA_meth_get_sign, DSA_meth_set_sign,
281 DSA_meth_get_sign_setup, DSA_meth_set_sign_setup, DSA_meth_get_verify,
282 DSA_meth_set_verify, DSA_meth_get_mod_exp, DSA_meth_set_mod_exp,
283 DSA_meth_get_bn_mod_exp, DSA_meth_set_bn_mod_exp, DSA_meth_get_init,
284 DSA_meth_set_init, DSA_meth_get_finish, DSA_meth_set_finish,
285 DSA_meth_get_paramgen, DSA_meth_set_paramgen, DSA_meth_get_keygen and
288 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
289 time. Instead applications should use L<EVP_DigestSignInit_ex(3)>,
290 L<EVP_DigestSignUpdate(3)> and L<EVP_DigestSignFinal(3)>.
294 * Reworked the treatment of EC EVP_PKEYs with the SM2 curve to
295 automatically become EVP_PKEY_SM2 rather than EVP_PKEY_EC.
296 This means that applications don't have to look at the curve NID and
297 `EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(pkey, EVP_PKEY_SM2)` to get SM2 computations.
298 However, they still can, that EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type() call acts as
299 a no-op when the EVP_PKEY is already of the given type.
301 Parameter and key generation is also reworked to make it possible
302 to generate EVP_PKEY_SM2 parameters and keys without having to go
303 through EVP_PKEY_EC generation and then change the EVP_PKEY type.
304 However, code that does the latter will still work as before.
308 * Deprecated low level ECDH and ECDSA functions. These include:
310 ECDH_compute_key, ECDSA_do_sign, ECDSA_do_sign_ex, ECDSA_do_verify,
311 ECDSA_sign_setup, ECDSA_sign, ECDSA_sign_ex, ECDSA_verify and
314 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
315 time. Instead applications should use the EVP_PKEY_derive(3),
316 EVP_DigestSign(3) and EVP_DigestVerify(3) functions.
320 * Deprecated the EC_KEY_METHOD functions. These include:
322 EC_KEY_METHOD_new, EC_KEY_METHOD_free, EC_KEY_METHOD_set_init,
323 EC_KEY_METHOD_set_keygen, EC_KEY_METHOD_set_compute_key,
324 EC_KEY_METHOD_set_sign, EC_KEY_METHOD_set_verify,
325 EC_KEY_METHOD_get_init, EC_KEY_METHOD_get_keygen,
326 EC_KEY_METHOD_get_compute_key, EC_KEY_METHOD_get_sign and
327 EC_KEY_METHOD_get_verify.
329 Instead applications and extension writers should use the OSSL_PROVIDER APIs.
333 * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_decrypt_old(), please use EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init()
334 and EVP_PKEY_decrypt() instead.
335 Deprecated EVP_PKEY_encrypt_old(), please use EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init()
336 and EVP_PKEY_encrypt() instead.
340 * Enhanced the documentation of EVP_PKEY_size(), EVP_PKEY_bits()
341 and EVP_PKEY_security_bits(). Especially EVP_PKEY_size() needed
342 a new formulation to include all the things it can be used for,
343 as well as words of caution.
347 * The SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb(3) function has been deprecated.
348 Instead used the new SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_evp_cb(3) function.
352 * All of the low level HMAC functions have been deprecated including:
354 HMAC, HMAC_size, HMAC_CTX_new, HMAC_CTX_reset, HMAC_CTX_free,
355 HMAC_Init_ex, HMAC_Update, HMAC_Final, HMAC_CTX_copy, HMAC_CTX_set_flags
358 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
359 time. Instead applications should use L<EVP_MAC_CTX_new(3)>,
360 L<EVP_MAC_CTX_free(3)>, L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>, L<EVP_MAC_update(3)>
361 and L<EVP_MAC_final(3)>.
365 * Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
366 - Common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version control, etc)
367 were refactored and point to newly-enhanced descriptions in openssl.pod.
368 - Added style conformance for all options (with help from Richard Levitte),
369 documented all reported missing options, added a CI build to check
370 that all options are documented and that no unimplemented options
372 - Documented some internals, such as all use of environment variables.
373 - Addressed all internal broken L<> references.
377 * All of the low level CMAC functions have been deprecated including:
379 CMAC_CTX_new, CMAC_CTX_cleanup, CMAC_CTX_free, CMAC_CTX_get0_cipher_ctx,
380 CMAC_CTX_copy, CMAC_Init, CMAC_Update, CMAC_Final and CMAC_resume.
382 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
383 time. Instead applications should use L<EVP_MAC_CTX_new(3)>,
384 L<EVP_MAC_CTX_free(3)>, L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>, L<EVP_MAC_update(3)>
385 and L<EVP_MAC_final(3)>.
389 * All of the low level MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD160, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256,
390 SHA384, SHA512 and Whirlpool digest functions have been deprecated.
393 MD2, MD2_options, MD2_Init, MD2_Update, MD2_Final, MD4, MD4_Init,
394 MD4_Update, MD4_Final, MD4_Transform, MD5, MD5_Init, MD5_Update,
395 MD5_Final, MD5_Transform, MDC2, MDC2_Init, MDC2_Update, MDC2_Final,
396 RIPEMD160, RIPEMD160_Init, RIPEMD160_Update, RIPEMD160_Final,
397 RIPEMD160_Transform, SHA1_Init, SHA1_Update, SHA1_Final, SHA1_Transform,
398 SHA224_Init, SHA224_Update, SHA224_Final, SHA224_Transform, SHA256_Init,
399 SHA256_Update, SHA256_Final, SHA256_Transform, SHA384, SHA384_Init,
400 SHA384_Update, SHA384_Final, SHA512, SHA512_Init, SHA512_Update,
401 SHA512_Final, SHA512_Transform, WHIRLPOOL, WHIRLPOOL_Init,
402 WHIRLPOOL_Update, WHIRLPOOL_BitUpdate and WHIRLPOOL_Final.
404 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
405 for a long time. Applications should use the EVP_DigestInit_ex(3),
406 EVP_DigestUpdate(3) and EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3) functions instead.
410 * Corrected the documentation of the return values from the `EVP_DigestSign*`
411 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
412 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
415 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
416 like `EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0` will continue to work undisturbed.
420 * All of the low level cipher functions have been deprecated including:
422 AES_options, AES_set_encrypt_key, AES_set_decrypt_key, AES_encrypt,
423 AES_decrypt, AES_ecb_encrypt, AES_cbc_encrypt, AES_cfb128_encrypt,
424 AES_cfb1_encrypt, AES_cfb8_encrypt, AES_ofb128_encrypt,
425 AES_wrap_key, AES_unwrap_key, BF_set_key, BF_encrypt, BF_decrypt,
426 BF_ecb_encrypt, BF_cbc_encrypt, BF_cfb64_encrypt, BF_ofb64_encrypt,
427 BF_options, Camellia_set_key, Camellia_encrypt, Camellia_decrypt,
428 Camellia_ecb_encrypt, Camellia_cbc_encrypt, Camellia_cfb128_encrypt,
429 Camellia_cfb1_encrypt, Camellia_cfb8_encrypt, Camellia_ofb128_encrypt,
430 Camellia_ctr128_encrypt, CAST_set_key, CAST_encrypt, CAST_decrypt,
431 CAST_ecb_encrypt, CAST_cbc_encrypt, CAST_cfb64_encrypt,
432 CAST_ofb64_encrypt, DES_options, DES_encrypt1, DES_encrypt2,
433 DES_encrypt3, DES_decrypt3, DES_cbc_encrypt, DES_ncbc_encrypt,
434 DES_pcbc_encrypt, DES_xcbc_encrypt, DES_cfb_encrypt, DES_cfb64_encrypt,

437 DES_key_sched, DES_set_key_checked, DES_set_key_unchecked,
438 DES_string_to_key, DES_string_to_2keys, DES_fixup_key_parity,
439 DES_ecb2_encrypt, DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt, DES_ede2_cfb64_encrypt,
440 DES_ede2_ofb64_encrypt, DES_ecb3_encrypt, DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt,
441 DES_ede3_cfb64_encrypt, DES_ede3_cfb_encrypt, DES_ede3_ofb64_encrypt,
442 DES_cbc_cksum, DES_quad_cksum, IDEA_encrypt, IDEA_options,
443 IDEA_ecb_encrypt, IDEA_set_encrypt_key, IDEA_set_decrypt_key,
444 IDEA_cbc_encrypt, IDEA_cfb64_encrypt, IDEA_ofb64_encrypt, RC2_set_key,
445 RC2_encrypt, RC2_decrypt, RC2_ecb_encrypt, RC2_cbc_encrypt,
446 RC2_cfb64_encrypt, RC2_ofb64_encrypt, RC4, RC4_options, RC4_set_key,
447 RC5_32_set_key, RC5_32_encrypt, RC5_32_decrypt, RC5_32_ecb_encrypt,
448 RC5_32_cbc_encrypt, RC5_32_cfb64_encrypt, RC5_32_ofb64_encrypt,
449 SEED_set_key, SEED_encrypt, SEED_decrypt, SEED_ecb_encrypt,
450 SEED_cbc_encrypt, SEED_cfb128_encrypt and SEED_ofb128_encrypt.
452 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for
453 a long time. Applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
454 EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
455 equivalently named decrypt functions instead.
457 *Matt Caswell and Paul Dale*
459 * Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
460 include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not including
461 <openssl/macros.h>. A short header include/openssl/opensslconf.h
462 was added to include both.
464 This allows internal hacks where one might need to modify the set
465 of configured macros, for example this if deprecated symbols are
466 still supposed to be available internally:
468 #include <openssl/configuration.h>
470 #undef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
471 #define OPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED
473 #include <openssl/macros.h>
475 This should not be used by applications that use the exported
476 symbols, as that will lead to linking errors.
480 * Fixed an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
481 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
482 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
483 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
484 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
485 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
486 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
487 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
488 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
493 * Most memory-debug features have been deprecated, and the functionality
494 replaced with no-ops.
498 * Added documentation for the STACK API. OpenSSL only defines the STACK
499 functions where they are used.
503 * Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_SERIALIZER, to
504 represent generic serializers. An implementation is expected to
505 be able to serialize an object associated with a given name (such
506 as an algorithm name for an asymmetric key) into forms given by
507 implementation properties.
509 Serializers are primarily used from inside libcrypto, through
510 calls to functions like EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
511 PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() and similar.
513 Serializers are specified in such a way that they can be made to
514 directly handle the provider side portion of an object, if this
515 provider side part comes from the same provider as the serializer
516 itself, but can also be made to handle objects in parametrized
517 form (as an OSSL_PARAM array of data). This allows a provider to
518 offer generic serializers as a service for any other provider.
522 * Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files, to
523 allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
524 Currently added pragma:
528 This allows dollar signs to be a keyword character unless it's
529 followed by a opening brace or parenthesis. This is useful for
530 platforms where dollar signs are commonly used in names, such as
531 volume names and system directory names on VMS.
535 * Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY from user data. This
536 is effectively the same as creating a RSA, DH or DSA object and
537 then assigning them to an EVP_PKEY, but directly using algorithm
538 agnostic EVP functions. A benefit is that this should be future
539 proof for public key algorithms to come.
543 * Change the interpretation of the '--api' configuration option to
544 mean that this is a desired API compatibility level with no
545 further meaning. The previous interpretation, that this would
546 also mean to remove all deprecated symbols up to and including
547 the given version, no requires that 'no-deprecated' is also used
548 in the configuration.
550 When building applications, the desired API compatibility level
551 can be set with the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT macro like before. For
552 API compatibility version below 3.0, the old style numerical
553 value is valid as before, such as -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L.
554 For version 3.0 and on, the value is expected to be the decimal
555 value calculated from the major and minor version like this:
557 MAJOR * 10000 + MINOR * 100
561 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30000 For 3.0
562 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30200 For 3.2
564 To hide declarations that are deprecated up to and including the
565 given API compatibility level, -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED must be
566 given when building the application as well.
570 * Added the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD called X509_LOOKUP_store, to allow
571 access to certificate and CRL stores via URIs and OSSL_STORE
574 This adds the following functions:
576 - X509_LOOKUP_store()
577 - X509_STORE_load_file()
578 - X509_STORE_load_path()
579 - X509_STORE_load_store()
580 - SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
581 - SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_store()
582 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_file()
583 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir()
584 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_store()
588 * Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
589 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
593 * Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
594 for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
595 property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
596 that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
597 to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
598 of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
602 * The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
603 conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
607 * Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
608 EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
609 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See the man
610 pages for further details.
614 * Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
615 adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
618 *Rich Salz, Richard Levitte*
620 * s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384, P-521,
621 X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
625 * Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
630 * Deprecated the public definition of ERR_STATE as well as the function
631 ERR_get_state(). This is done in preparation of making ERR_STATE an
636 * Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
637 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
639 New functions are ERR_get_error_func(), ERR_peek_error_func(),
640 ERR_peek_last_error_func(), ERR_get_error_data(), ERR_peek_error_data(),
641 ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(), ERR_peek_error_all()
642 and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
644 These functions have become deprecated: ERR_get_error_line_data(),
645 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
646 ERR_func_error_string().
650 * Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
651 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
653 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
654 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
655 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
659 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
660 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
661 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
662 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
663 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
664 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
665 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
666 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
667 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
671 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
672 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
673 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
674 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
679 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
680 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
681 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
682 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
683 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
684 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
685 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
686 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
687 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
688 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
689 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
690 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
694 * Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
695 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
696 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
697 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
698 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
699 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
700 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
704 * Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
705 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
706 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
707 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
708 `N = p*q = 1 (mod 3)`, but `N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3)`. Therefore fingerprinting
709 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
710 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
714 * Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
715 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
716 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
717 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
718 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
722 * Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
723 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
724 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
725 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
729 * Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
730 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
731 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
732 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
733 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
738 * Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
739 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
740 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
744 * Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
748 * Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
749 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
750 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
751 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
755 * Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
759 * `{CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop}` are now no-ops and have been
764 * A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
765 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
766 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
767 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
768 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
769 functions for further details.
773 * The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
777 * Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
780 * Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
784 * Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
785 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
786 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
787 variables, only functions.
791 * RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
792 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
793 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
798 * Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
802 * Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
806 * Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
807 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
808 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
809 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
810 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
811 To enable or disable these checks use the control
812 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
816 * Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
817 #defines are deprecated.
821 * Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
822 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
823 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
827 * Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
831 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
832 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
833 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
834 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
838 * Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
842 * Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
846 * Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
847 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
848 for scripting purposes.
852 * The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
853 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
854 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
855 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
856 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
857 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
858 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
859 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
860 should not use these modes.
864 * Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
868 * Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
869 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
873 * Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
874 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the `*sum`
875 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
877 *Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale*
879 * Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
880 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
881 The configuration option is now deprecated.
885 * Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
886 digest name in its output.
890 * Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
891 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
892 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
893 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
895 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
896 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
899 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
900 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
901 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
903 *Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre*
905 * Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
906 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
907 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
909 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
910 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
914 * Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
918 * Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
922 * Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
927 * Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
928 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
929 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
930 to affine coordinates.
932 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
934 * Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
935 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
936 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
937 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
938 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
942 * Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
946 * Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
950 * Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
951 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
952 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
953 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
954 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
955 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
957 * Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
958 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
962 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
966 * Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
970 * Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
972 - Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
973 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
974 - Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
975 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
976 - Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
977 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
978 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
979 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
983 * Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
987 * Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
988 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
989 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
993 * Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
994 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
998 * Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
999 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
1004 * Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
1008 * Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
1012 * Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
1013 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
1014 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
1015 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
1019 * Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
1020 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
1024 * Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
1025 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
1026 are retained for backwards compatibility.
1030 * AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
1031 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
1032 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
1033 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
1034 <http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf>
1038 * Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
1039 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
1040 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
1044 * Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
1045 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
1049 * Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
1050 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
1051 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
1058 ### Changes between 1.1.1e and 1.1.1f [xx XXX xxxx]
1060 ### Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [17 Mar 2020]
1062 * Properly detect EOF while reading in libssl. Previously if we hit an EOF
1063 while reading in libssl then we would report an error back to the
1064 application (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL) but errno would be 0. We now add
1065 an error to the stack (which means we instead return SSL_ERROR_SSL) and
1066 therefore give a hint as to what went wrong.
1070 * Check that ed25519 and ed448 are allowed by the security level. Previously
1071 signature algorithms not using an MD were not being checked that they were
1072 allowed by the security level.
1076 * Fixed SSL_get_servername() behaviour. The behaviour of SSL_get_servername()
1077 was not quite right. The behaviour was not consistent between resumption
1078 and normal handshakes, and also not quite consistent with historical
1079 behaviour. The behaviour in various scenarios has been clarified and
1080 it has been updated to make it match historical behaviour as closely as
1085 * *[VMS only]* The header files that the VMS compilers include automatically,
1086 `__DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H` and `__DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H`, use pragmas
1087 that the C++ compiler doesn't understand. This is a shortcoming in the
1088 compiler, but can be worked around with `__cplusplus` guards.
1090 C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled using the
1091 qualifier `/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED)` to be able to use all the OpenSSL
1092 functions. Otherwise, only functions with symbols of less than 31
1093 characters can be used, as the linker will not be able to successfully
1094 resolve symbols with longer names.
1098 * Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
1099 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
1103 * Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
1104 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the `*sum`
1105 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
1107 *Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale*
1109 * Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
1114 ### Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
1116 * Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
1117 number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
1118 event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
1119 processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not
1120 being used in the default case.
1122 A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
1123 precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
1124 and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
1126 If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
1127 OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
1130 *Matthias St. Pierre*
1132 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
1133 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
1134 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
1135 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
1136 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
1137 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
1138 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
1139 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
1140 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
1144 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
1145 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
1146 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
1147 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
1152 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
1153 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
1154 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
1155 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
1156 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
1157 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
1158 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
1159 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
1160 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
1161 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
1162 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
1163 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
1168 * Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
1169 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
1170 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
1171 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
1172 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
1173 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
1174 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
1178 * Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
1179 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
1180 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
1181 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
1182 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
1186 * Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
1188 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
1189 paths should be used for installation.
1194 * Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q subgroups.
1195 With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key is not secret
1196 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
1197 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
1201 * Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
1205 * Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
1207 The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
1208 /dev/random device to become readable before reading from the
1209 /dev/urandom device.
1211 It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
1212 performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
1213 was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
1214 resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
1215 during early boot time.

1219 ### Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
1221 * Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
1222 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
1223 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
1225 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
1226 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
1230 * Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
1234 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
1235 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
1236 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
1237 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1241 * Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
1242 EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
1243 util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
1245 *Paul Yang, Joshua Lock*
1247 * Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
1251 * Have apps like 's_client' and 's_server' output the signature scheme
1252 along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
1256 * Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
1260 * Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
1264 * Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
1266 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
1267 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
1268 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
1269 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
1270 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
1271 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
1272 additional leading bytes are ignored.
1274 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
1275 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
1276 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
1277 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
1278 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
1279 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
1280 messages with a reused nonce.
1282 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
1283 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
1284 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
1285 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
1286 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
1287 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
1288 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
1290 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
1296 * Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
1298 On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not available,
1299 OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for seeding its CSPRNG.
1300 Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom device will not block during
1301 early boot when the kernel CSPRNG has not been seeded yet.
1303 To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/random to
1304 become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
1306 * Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
1310 ### Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
1312 * Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
1313 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
1314 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
1315 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
1316 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
1317 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
1318 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
1319 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
1324 ### Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
1326 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
1328 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
1329 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
1330 algorithm to recover the private key.
1332 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
1337 * Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
1339 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
1340 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
1341 algorithm to recover the private key.
1343 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
1348 * Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
1349 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
1350 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
1352 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
1353 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
1354 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
1355 provided by the application.
1357 ### Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
1359 * Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
1360 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
1361 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
1362 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
1363 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
1368 * Add SM2 base algorithm support.
1372 * s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
1373 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
1374 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
1378 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
1379 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
1380 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
1384 * Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
1385 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
1386 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
1387 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
1388 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
1389 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
1390 to work in projective coordinates.
1392 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
1394 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
1395 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
1396 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
1397 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
1400 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
1402 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
1406 * The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
1407 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
1408 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
1409 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
1413 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
1414 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
1418 * Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
1419 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
1420 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
1421 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
1423 *Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri*
1425 * Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
1426 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
1427 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
1428 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
1429 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
1431 *Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri*
1433 * Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
1434 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
1435 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
1436 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
1437 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
1441 * Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
1442 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
1443 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
1448 * AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
1449 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
1450 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
1451 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
1452 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
1453 multi-version installation is managed.
1457 * Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
1458 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
1459 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
1460 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
1461 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
1465 * Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
1466 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
1467 chosen point SCA attacks.
1469 *Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley*
1471 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
1472 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
1476 * Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
1477 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
1478 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
1482 * SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
1483 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
1484 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
1485 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
1486 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
1487 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
1488 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
1489 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
1490 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
1494 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
1495 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
1499 * Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
1500 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
1504 * Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
1505 binary and prime elliptic curves.
1509 * Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
1510 constant time fixed point multiplication.
1514 * Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
1515 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
1516 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
1517 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
1518 ECDH derive operations).
1519 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida GarcÃa,
1522 * Updated CONTRIBUTING
1526 * Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
1527 randomness from the system.
1529 *Matthias St. Pierre*
1531 * Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
1535 * Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
1536 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
1540 * Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
1544 * Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
1546 *Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz*
1548 * Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
1552 * Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
1553 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
1554 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
1558 * Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
1563 * Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
1564 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
1568 * Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
1572 * Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
1573 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
1575 *Matthias St. Pierre*
1577 * QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
1578 for the license change).
1582 * TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
1583 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
1587 * Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
1588 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
1589 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
1590 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
1591 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
1592 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
1593 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
1597 * On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
1598 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
1599 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
1600 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
1601 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
1602 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
1603 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
1604 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
1605 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
1606 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
1607 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
1612 * Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
1617 * Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
1618 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
1619 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
1620 get the search data out of them.
1624 * Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
1625 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
1626 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
1627 <https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3>
1631 * Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
1633 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
1634 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
1635 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
1636 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
1637 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
1638 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
1640 Some of its new features are:
1641 - Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
1642 - The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
1643 - There is a public and private DRBG instance.
1644 - The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
1645 - Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
1646 - The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
1649 *Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre*
1651 * Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
1652 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
1653 to display all sorts of configuration data.
1657 * Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
1661 * Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
1665 * The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
1670 * Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
1671 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
1672 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
1673 debug (or make silent).
1677 * Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
1678 arguments to config / Configure.
1682 * Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
1686 * Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
1687 * Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
1688 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
1689 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> *
1691 * Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
1692 as documented in RFC6066.
1693 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
1695 *Filipe Raimundo da Silva*
1697 * Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
1698 * Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
1699 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
1700 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> *
1702 * Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
1703 original author does not agree with the license change.
1707 * Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
1711 * Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
1712 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
1716 * Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
1717 without clearing the errors.
1721 * Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
1722 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
1723 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
1731 * The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
1732 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
1733 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
1736 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
1737 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
1738 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
1739 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
1743 * Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
1744 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
1745 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
1746 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
1747 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
1748 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
1749 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
1753 * Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
1754 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
1755 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
1756 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
1760 * Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
1761 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
1762 error code calls like this:
1764 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
1766 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
1767 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
1770 *Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson*
1772 * Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
1776 * Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1777 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1778 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1779 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1783 * In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
1784 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
1785 than just the call where this user data is passed.
1789 * Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
1792 *Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>*
1794 * Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
1795 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
1796 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
1797 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
1798 prohibits this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
1799 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
1800 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause interoperability
1805 * Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
1806 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
1807 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
1812 * Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
1813 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
1815 *Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov*
1817 * Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
1822 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1823 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1827 * The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
1828 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
1829 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
1830 certificates and CRLs.
1834 * x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
1835 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
1839 * Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
1840 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
1844 * Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1845 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1846 which is the minimum version we support.
1850 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1851 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1852 are no longer allowed.
1856 * Add support for ARIA
1860 * s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
1861 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
1862 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
1863 using "-servername".
1867 * Add support for SipHash
1871 * OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
1872 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
1873 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
1874 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
1878 * 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
1879 using the algorithm defined in
1880 <https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt>
1884 * Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
1886 *Richard Levitte, Rich Salz*
1888 * Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
1892 * The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
1893 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
1900 ### Changes between 1.1.0k and 1.1.0l [10 Sep 2019]
1902 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
1903 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
1904 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
1905 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
1906 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
1907 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
1908 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
1909 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
1910 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
1914 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
1915 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
1916 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
1917 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
1922 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
1923 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
1924 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
1925 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
1926 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
1927 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
1928 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
1929 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
1930 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
1931 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
1932 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
1933 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
1938 * Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
1940 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
1941 paths should be used for installation.
1946 ### Changes between 1.1.0j and 1.1.0k [28 May 2019]
1948 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
1949 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
1950 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
1951 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1955 * Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
1957 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
1958 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
1959 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
1960 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
1961 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
1962 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
1963 additional leading bytes are ignored.
1965 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
1966 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
1967 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
1968 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
1969 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
1970 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
1971 messages with a reused nonce.
1973 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
1974 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
1975 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
1976 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
1977 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
1978 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
1979 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
1981 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
1987 * Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
1988 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
1989 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
1990 to affine coordinates.
1992 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
1994 * Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
1995 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
1999 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
2003 * Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
2004 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
2005 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
2009 ### Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.0j [20 Nov 2018]
2011 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
2013 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
2014 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
2015 algorithm to recover the private key.
2017 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
2022 * Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
2024 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
2025 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
2026 algorithm to recover the private key.
2028 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
2033 * Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
2034 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
2035 chosen point SCA attacks.
2037 *Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley*
2039 ### Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [14 Aug 2018]
2041 * Client DoS due to large DH parameter
2043 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
2044 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
2045 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
2046 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
2047 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
2049 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
2054 * Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
2056 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
2057 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
2058 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
2059 recover the private key.
2061 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
2062 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
2067 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
2068 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
2069 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
2073 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
2074 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
2078 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
2079 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
2080 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
2081 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
2084 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
2086 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
2090 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
2091 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
2095 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
2096 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
2100 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
2101 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
2102 are no longer allowed.
2106 * Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
2108 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
2109 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
2110 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
2111 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
2112 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
2113 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
2114 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
2115 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
2116 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
2117 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
2118 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
2119 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
2120 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
2124 ### Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
2126 * Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
2128 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
2129 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
2130 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
2131 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
2132 so this is considered safe.
2134 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
2140 * Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
2142 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
2143 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
2144 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
2145 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
2146 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
2147 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
2149 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
2155 * Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
2156 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
2157 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
2158 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
2162 * Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
2164 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
2165 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
2166 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
2167 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
2168 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
2170 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
2171 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
2172 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
2176 * Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
2181 * rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
2183 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
2184 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
2185 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
2186 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
2187 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
2188 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
2189 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
2190 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
2191 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
2192 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
2194 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
2195 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
2197 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
2198 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
2203 ### Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
2205 * bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
2207 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2208 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2209 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2210 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2211 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2212 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2213 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2214 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2215 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2216 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2217 key that is shared between multiple clients.
2219 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
2220 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
2222 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
2227 * Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
2229 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
2230 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
2231 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
2233 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
2238 ### Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
2240 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
2241 platform rather than 'mingw'.
2245 * Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
2246 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
2247 which is the minimum version we support.
2251 ### Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
2253 * Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
2255 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
2256 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
2257 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
2258 and servers are affected.
2260 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
2265 ### Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
2267 * Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
2269 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
2270 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
2271 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
2273 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
2278 * Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
2280 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
2281 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
2282 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
2285 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2290 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2292 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2293 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2294 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2295 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2296 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2297 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2298 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2299 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2300 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2301 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2302 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2303 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
2304 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
2306 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
2311 ### Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
2313 * ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
2315 TLS connections using `*-CHACHA20-POLY1305` ciphersuites are susceptible to
2316 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
2317 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
2319 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
2324 * CMS Null dereference
2326 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
2327 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
2328 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
2329 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
2330 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
2333 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
2338 * Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
2340 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
2341 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
2342 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
2343 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
2344 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
2345 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
2346 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
2347 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
2348 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
2349 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
2350 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
2351 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
2352 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
2353 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
2355 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
2356 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
2357 providing reproducible case.
2362 * Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
2363 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
2367 ### Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
2369 * Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
2371 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
2372 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
2373 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
2374 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
2375 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
2376 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
2378 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
2380 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
2385 ### Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
2387 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
2389 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
2390 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
2391 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
2392 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
2393 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
2394 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
2395 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
2397 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
2402 * SSL_peek() hang on empty record
2404 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
2405 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
2406 Denial Of Service attack.
2408 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
2413 * Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
2414 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
2416 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
2417 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
2418 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
2419 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
2420 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
2421 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
2422 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
2423 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
2424 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
2425 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
2426 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
2427 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
2428 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
2429 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
2430 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
2432 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
2433 that the connection fails
2435 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
2436 very little free memory
2438 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
2439 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
2440 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
2441 memory to service the multiple requests.
2443 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
2444 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
2445 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
2446 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
2447 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
2449 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
2450 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
2454 * solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
2455 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
2456 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
2457 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
2458 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
2459 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
2460 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
2464 ### Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
2466 * Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
2467 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
2468 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
2469 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
2470 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
2475 * To mitigate the SWEET32 attack [CVE-2016-2183][], 3DES cipher suites
2476 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
2477 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
2481 * The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
2482 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
2483 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
2484 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
2488 * The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
2489 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
2494 * The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
2495 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
2496 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
2497 no-ops and deprecated.
2501 * Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
2502 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
2505 *Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz*
2507 * The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with `OPENSSL_SK_`
2508 and `OPENSSL_LH_`, respectively. The old names are available
2509 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
2513 * Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
2514 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
2515 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
2516 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
2517 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
2518 and the validity of object reference counter.
2520 *fdasilvayy@gmail.com*
2522 * With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
2523 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
2524 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
2525 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
2529 * Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
2533 * Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
2534 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
2535 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
2536 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
2538 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
2542 * Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
2543 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
2547 * Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
2551 * Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
2555 * To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
2556 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
2557 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
2558 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
2559 name and is used as is.
2563 * The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
2564 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
2565 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
2569 * "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
2570 the "no-shared" Configure option.
2574 * Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
2575 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
2580 * Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
2581 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
2582 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
2583 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
2584 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
2585 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
2586 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
2587 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
2588 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
2592 * --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
2593 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
2594 enabled with '--debug' builds.
2596 *Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper*
2598 * Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
2599 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
2600 these have been added.
2604 * Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
2605 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
2606 functions for managing these have been added.
2610 * Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
2611 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
2612 these have been added.
2616 * Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
2617 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
2622 * Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
2626 * Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
2630 * Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
2631 it is always safe to #include a header now.
2635 * Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
2639 * Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
2643 * Add support for HKDF.
2645 *Alessandro Ghedini*
2647 * Add support for blake2b and blake2s
2651 * Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
2652 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
2653 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
2654 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
2655 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
2656 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
2657 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
2661 * Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
2662 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
2663 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
2667 * OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
2668 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
2669 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
2670 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
2671 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
2672 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
2674 *Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell*
2676 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2677 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2681 * Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
2685 * Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
2686 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
2687 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
2688 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
2689 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
2690 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
2695 * Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
2696 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
2700 * RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
2701 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
2702 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
2706 * If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
2707 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
2708 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
2709 implemented by other servers.
2713 * Add X25519 support.
2714 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
2715 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
2716 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
2717 key generation and key derivation.
2719 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
2724 * Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
2725 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2726 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak [CVE-2016-0798][],
2727 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
2728 seed, even if the seed is configured.
2730 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2731 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2732 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2733 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2734 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2735 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2736 that of a valid user.
2740 * Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
2741 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
2742 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
2743 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
2745 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
2746 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
2748 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
2749 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
2750 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
2751 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
2753 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
2754 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
2759 * Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
2760 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
2761 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
2762 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
2763 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
2764 of how OpenSSL was configured.
2766 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
2767 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
2768 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
2772 * Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
2776 * The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
2777 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
2778 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
2783 * Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
2784 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
2785 old #define's might need to be updated.
2787 *Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz*
2789 * Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
2793 * New "unified" build system
2795 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
2796 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
2798 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
2799 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
2800 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
2802 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
2803 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
2804 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
2805 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
2808 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
2809 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
2810 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
2811 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
2812 libraries" in INSTALL.
2814 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
2818 * Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
2819 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
2820 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
2821 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
2825 * The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
2826 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
2828 * Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
2829 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
2830 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
2831 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
2832 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
2833 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
2834 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
2835 have been adapted accordingly.
2839 * RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
2844 * CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
2845 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
2846 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
2847 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
2851 * The signature of the session callback configured with
2852 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
2853 was explicitly marked as `const unsigned char*` instead of
2858 * Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
2859 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
2863 * Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
2864 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
2865 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
2867 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
2868 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
2870 *Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov*
2872 * Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
2874 *Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov*
2876 * Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
2877 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
2878 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
2879 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
2882 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
2883 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
2884 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
2885 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
2886 configuration in one of the `Configurations/*.conf~ files (in
2891 * To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
2892 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
2893 straightforward and less interdependent.
2895 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
2896 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
2897 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
2899 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
2900 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
2901 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
2903 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
2904 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
2905 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
2906 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
2908 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
2909 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
2913 * The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
2914 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
2915 See: <https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries>. Libssl still retains
2916 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
2921 * EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
2924 *Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz*
2926 * The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
2927 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
2928 before trying to build now.*
2932 * The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
2937 * Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
2939 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
2940 the application's responsibility. The application provides
2941 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
2942 used to authenticate the peer.
2944 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
2945 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
2946 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
2947 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
2948 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
2952 * Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
2953 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
2954 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
2955 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
2956 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
2957 or the 1.1.0 releases.
2959 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
2960 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
2961 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
2962 support for the deprecated features from the library and
2963 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
2964 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
2965 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
2966 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
2969 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
2970 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
2971 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
2972 compile with later releases.
2974 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
2975 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
2976 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
2977 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
2978 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
2982 * Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
2983 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
2984 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
2985 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
2986 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
2987 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
2988 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
2989 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
2993 * Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
2997 * New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
2998 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
2999 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
3002 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
3003 include the ec.h header file instead.
3007 * Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
3008 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
3009 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
3013 * Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
3014 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
3017 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
3018 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
3020 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
3021 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
3022 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
3025 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
3026 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
3027 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
3028 an already created structure.
3029 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
3030 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
3031 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
3032 for deprecated builds.
3036 * Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
3037 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
3038 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
3039 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
3040 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
3041 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
3042 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
3046 * SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
3047 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
3048 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
3049 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
3053 * SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
3054 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
3058 * Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
3059 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
3063 * State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
3064 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
3065 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
3066 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
3067 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
3068 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
3069 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
3074 * All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
3075 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
3076 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
3080 * The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
3084 * Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
3087 *Matt Caswell, Rich Salz*
3089 * New ASN.1 embed macro.
3091 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
3092 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
3100 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
3101 set a mandatory field to NULL.
3103 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
3104 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
3105 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
3110 * Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
3114 * Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
3115 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
3116 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
3117 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
3121 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
3122 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
3123 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
3124 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
3128 * Fix no-stdio build.
3129 * David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
3130 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> *
3132 * New testing framework
3133 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
3134 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
3135 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
3136 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
3137 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
3138 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
3140 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
3142 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
3143 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
3147 * Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
3148 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
3149 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
3150 and others were changed. All are now documented.
3154 * In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
3157 *Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>*
3159 * Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
3160 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
3162 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
3163 original RSA_PSK patch.
3167 * Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
3168 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
3169 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
3170 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
3174 * Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
3175 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
3179 * Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
3180 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
3181 hasn't been working properly for a while.
3185 * The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
3186 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
3187 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
3188 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
3193 * Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
3194 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
3195 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
3196 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
3200 * Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
3201 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
3202 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
3203 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
3204 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
3205 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
3209 * Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
3210 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
3211 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
3212 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
3213 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
3214 header file has been removed.
3218 * Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
3219 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
3223 * RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
3224 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
3225 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
3227 * Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
3232 * Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
3236 * Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
3241 * RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
3245 * Added support for TLS extended master secret from
3246 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
3247 initial patch which was a great help during development.
3251 * All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
3252 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
3253 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
3254 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
3258 * config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
3259 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
3260 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
3261 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
3262 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
3263 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
3267 * Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
3268 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
3269 at <https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf>. Support
3270 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
3274 * SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
3275 compatible client hello.
3279 * Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
3280 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
3282 *Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>*
3284 * CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.

3292 * Remove various unsupported platforms:
3298 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
3303 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
3307 * Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
3308 - Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF

3316 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
3317 - Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
3321 * Cleaned up dead code
3322 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
3326 * Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
3327 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
3328 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
3332 * Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
3333 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
3334 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
3338 * Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
3339 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
3341 *Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>*
3343 * New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
3344 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
3346 *Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>*

3368 preparing the fix [CVE-2014-0160][]
3370 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
3372 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL

3377 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3378 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix [CVE-2014-0076][]
3380 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
3382 * Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3383 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3387 * Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
3389 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
3390 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
3392 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
3393 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
3395 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
3398 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
3402 * Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3403 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3404 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3405 algorithms and include tests cases.
3409 * Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
3414 * Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3415 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3419 * Make openssl verify return errors.
3421 *Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
3423 * New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
3424 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
3428 * Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
3429 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
3434 * Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
3435 sign or verify all in one operation.
3439 * Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
3440 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
3441 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
3445 * Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
3449 * Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
3453 * Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
3454 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
3455 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
3456 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
3457 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
3461 * New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
3466 * More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
3467 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
3468 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
3472 * Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
3475 * Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
3476 POST to handle HMAC cases.
3480 * Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
3481 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
3485 * Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
3486 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
3487 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3491 * Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
3492 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
3493 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
3494 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
3495 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
3496 requested amount of entropy.
3500 * Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
3501 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
3505 * CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
3506 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
3507 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
3512 * Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
3513 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
3514 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
3518 * XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
3519 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
3520 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
3521 will never use XTS mode.
3525 * Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
3526 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
3527 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
3528 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
3529 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
3530 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
3534 * Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
3535 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
3536 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
3537 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
3541 * Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
3542 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
3543 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
3547 * Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
3551 * New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
3555 * New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
3556 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
3560 * Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
3561 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
3565 * Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
3566 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
3570 * Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
3571 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
3572 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
3573 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
3574 and rename any affected symbols.
3578 * Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
3579 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
3583 * Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
3584 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
3585 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
3589 * New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3593 * New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
3594 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
3595 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
3599 * Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
3600 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
3604 * Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
3605 setting output buffer to NULL. The `*Final` function must be
3606 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
3607 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
3608 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
3609 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
3614 * New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
3615 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
3616 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
3617 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
3618 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
3619 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
3620 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
3621 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
3625 * If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
3626 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
3630 * Improve forward-security support: add functions
3632 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(
3633 SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
3634 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(
3635 SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
3637 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
3638 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
3639 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
3640 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
3641 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
3642 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
3644 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
3645 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
3646 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
3649 *Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)*
3651 * New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
3656 * Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
3657 Add CMAC pkey methods.
3661 * Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
3662 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
3663 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
3667 * Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
3668 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
3669 multi-process servers.
3673 * Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
3674 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
3675 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
3676 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
3677 RAND_METHOD structure.
3681 * New macro `__owur` for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
3682 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
3683 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
3684 whose return value is often ignored.
3688 * New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
3689 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
3690 validated when establishing a connection.
3692 *Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>*
3697 ### Changes between 1.0.2s and 1.0.2t [10 Sep 2019]
3699 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
3700 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
3701 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
3702 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
3703 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
3704 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
3705 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
3706 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
3707 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
3711 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
3712 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
3713 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
3714 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
3719 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
3720 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
3721 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
3722 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
3723 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
3724 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
3725 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
3726 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
3727 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
3728 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
3729 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3730 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
3735 * Document issue with installation paths in diverse Windows builds
3737 '/usr/local/ssl' is an unsafe prefix for location to install OpenSSL
3738 binaries and run-time config file.
3743 ### Changes between 1.0.2r and 1.0.2s [28 May 2019]
3745 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
3746 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
3747 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
3748 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
3752 * Add FIPS support for Android Arm 64-bit
3754 Support for Android Arm 64-bit was added to the OpenSSL FIPS Object
3755 Module in Version 2.0.10. For some reason, the corresponding target
3756 'android64-aarch64' was missing OpenSSL 1.0.2, whence it could not be
3757 built with FIPS support on Android Arm 64-bit. This omission has been
3760 *Matthias St. Pierre*
3762 ### Changes between 1.0.2q and 1.0.2r [26 Feb 2019]
3764 * 0-byte record padding oracle
3766 If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls
3767 SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once to receive one)
3768 then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if a 0 byte
3769 record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is
3770 received with an invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently
3771 based on that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this
3772 amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data.
3774 In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in
3775 use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of certain
3776 commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown()
3777 twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do
3778 this but some do anyway).
3780 This issue was discovered by Juraj Somorovsky, Robert Merget and Nimrod
3781 Aviram, with additional investigation by Steven Collison and Andrew
3782 Hourselt. It was reported to OpenSSL on 10th December 2018.
3787 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
3791 ### Changes between 1.0.2p and 1.0.2q [20 Nov 2018]
3793 * Microarchitecture timing vulnerability in ECC scalar multiplication
3795 OpenSSL ECC scalar multiplication, used in e.g. ECDSA and ECDH, has been
3796 shown to be vulnerable to a microarchitecture timing side channel attack.
3797 An attacker with sufficient access to mount local timing attacks during
3798 ECDSA signature generation could recover the private key.
3800 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th October 2018 by Alejandro
3801 Cabrera Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Cesar Pereida Garcia and
3807 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
3809 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
3810 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
3811 algorithm to recover the private key.
3813 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
3818 * Resolve a compatibility issue in EC_GROUP handling with the FIPS Object
3819 Module, accidentally introduced while backporting security fixes from the
3820 development branch and hindering the use of ECC in FIPS mode.
3824 ### Changes between 1.0.2o and 1.0.2p [14 Aug 2018]
3826 * Client DoS due to large DH parameter
3828 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
3829 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
3830 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
3831 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
3832 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
3834 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
3839 * Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
3841 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
3842 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
3843 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
3844 recover the private key.
3846 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
3847 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
3852 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
3853 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
3854 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
3858 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
3859 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
3863 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
3864 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
3865 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
3866 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
3869 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
3871 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
3875 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
3876 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
3880 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
3881 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
3885 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
3886 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
3887 are no longer allowed.
3891 ### Changes between 1.0.2n and 1.0.2o [27 Mar 2018]
3893 * Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
3895 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
3896 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
3897 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
3898 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
3899 so this is considered safe.
3901 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
3907 ### Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
3909 * Read/write after SSL object in error state
3911 OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
3912 mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake
3913 then OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if
3914 you attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the
3915 explicit handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and
3916 SSL_connect()), however due to a bug it does not work correctly if
3917 SSL_read() or SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
3918 handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the initial function
3919 call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently called by the application
3920 for the same SSL object then it will succeed and the data is passed without
3921 being decrypted/encrypted directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
3923 In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present
3924 that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having
3925 already received a fatal error.
3927 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
3932 * rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
3934 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
3935 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
3936 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
3937 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
3938 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
3939 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
3940 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
3941 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
3942 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
3943 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
3945 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
3946 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
3948 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
3949 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
3954 ### Changes between 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m [2 Nov 2017]
3956 * bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
3958 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
3959 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
3960 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
3961 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
3962 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
3963 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
3964 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
3965 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
3966 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
3967 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
3968 key that is shared between multiple clients.
3970 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
3971 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
3973 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
3978 * Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
3980 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
3981 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
3982 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
3984 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
3989 ### Changes between 1.0.2k and 1.0.2l [25 May 2017]
3991 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
3992 platform rather than 'mingw'.
3996 ### Changes between 1.0.2j and 1.0.2k [26 Jan 2017]
3998 * Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
4000 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
4001 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
4002 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
4004 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
4009 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
4011 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
4012 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
4013 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
4014 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
4015 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
4016 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
4017 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
4018 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
4019 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
4020 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
4021 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
4022 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
4023 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
4025 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
4030 * Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
4032 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
4033 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
4034 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
4035 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
4036 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
4037 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
4038 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
4039 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
4040 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
4041 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
4042 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
4043 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
4044 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
4045 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
4047 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
4048 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
4049 providing reproducible case.
4054 * OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
4055 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
4056 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
4057 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
4061 ### Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
4063 * Missing CRL sanity check
4065 A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
4066 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
4067 CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
4069 This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
4074 ### Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
4076 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
4078 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
4079 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
4080 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
4081 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
4082 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
4083 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
4084 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
4086 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4091 * In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
4094 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
4100 * OOB write in MDC2_Update()
4102 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
4103 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
4104 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
4105 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
4106 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
4108 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
4111 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4116 * Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
4118 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
4119 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
4122 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
4123 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
4125 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4130 * OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
4132 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
4133 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
4134 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
4135 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
4136 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
4138 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4143 * OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
4145 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
4146 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
4147 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
4150 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4155 * Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
4157 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
4159 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
4162 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
4165 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
4168 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
4169 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
4170 undefined behaviour.
4172 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
4173 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
4174 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
4176 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
4181 * Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
4183 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
4184 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
4185 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
4186 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
4187 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
4189 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
4190 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
4191 Adelaide and NICTA).
4196 * DTLS buffered message DoS
4198 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
4199 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
4200 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
4201 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
4202 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
4203 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
4204 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
4205 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
4206 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
4207 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
4209 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
4214 * DTLS replay protection DoS
4216 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
4217 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
4218 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
4219 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
4220 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
4221 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
4222 service for a specific DTLS connection.
4224 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
4229 * Certificate message OOB reads
4231 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
4232 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
4233 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
4236 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
4237 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
4238 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
4240 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4245 ### Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
4247 * Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
4249 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
4250 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
4253 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
4254 attack [CVE-2013-0169][]. The padding check was rewritten to be in
4255 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
4256 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
4257 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
4260 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
4265 * Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
4267 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
4268 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
4269 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
4272 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
4273 the `PEM_write_bio*` family of functions. These are mainly used within the
4274 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
4275 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
4276 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
4277 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
4279 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
4284 * Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
4286 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
4287 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
4288 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
4289 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
4290 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
4291 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
4292 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
4293 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
4294 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
4295 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
4296 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
4297 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
4298 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
4299 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
4300 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
4301 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
4303 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
4308 * Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
4310 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
4311 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
4312 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
4314 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
4315 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
4316 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
4317 applications are not affected.
4319 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
4326 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
4327 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
4328 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
4330 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
4335 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
4336 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
4340 * Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
4345 * Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
4346 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
4350 ### Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
4352 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
4353 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
4354 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
4358 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
4359 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
4360 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
4361 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
4362 will need to explicitly call either of:
4364 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
4366 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
4368 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
4369 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
4370 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
4371 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
4372 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
4377 * Fix a double-free in DSA code
4379 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
4380 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
4381 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
4384 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
4390 * Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
4392 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
4394 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
4395 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
4396 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
4399 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
4400 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
4401 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
4402 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
4403 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
4404 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
4405 that of a valid user.
4410 * Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
4412 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
4413 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
4414 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
4415 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
4416 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
4417 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
4418 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
4419 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
4420 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
4421 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
4422 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
4424 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
4425 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
4426 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
4427 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
4428 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
4430 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
4435 * Fix memory issues in `BIO_*printf` functions
4437 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
4438 the `BIO_*printf` functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
4439 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
4441 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
4442 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
4443 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
4444 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
4445 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
4448 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
4449 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
4450 is passed to the `BIO_*printf` functions. If applications use these functions
4451 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
4452 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
4453 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
4454 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
4455 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
4456 as command line arguments.
4458 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
4459 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
4460 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
4462 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
4467 * Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
4469 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
4470 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
4471 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
4472 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
4473 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
4475 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
4476 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
4477 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
4478 <http://cachebleed.info>.
4483 * Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
4484 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
4485 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
4486 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
4490 ### Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
4492 * DH small subgroups
4494 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
4495 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
4496 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
4497 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
4498 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
4499 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
4500 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
4501 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
4502 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
4503 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
4505 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
4506 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
4507 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
4508 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
4509 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
4511 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
4512 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
4513 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
4514 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
4516 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
4517 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
4519 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
4524 * SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
4526 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
4527 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
4528 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
4531 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
4532 and Sebastian Schinzel.
4537 ### Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
4539 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
4541 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
4542 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
4543 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
4544 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
4545 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
4546 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
4547 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
4548 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
4549 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
4550 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
4551 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
4552 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
4554 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
4559 * Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
4561 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
4562 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
4563 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
4564 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
4565 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
4566 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
4567 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
4570 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
4575 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
4577 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
4578 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
4579 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
4580 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
4582 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
4588 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
4589 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
4590 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
4591 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

4600 ### Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
4602 * Alternate chains certificate forgery
4604 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
4605 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
4606 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
4607 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
4608 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
4609 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
4611 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
4616 ### Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
4618 * Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
4619 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
4624 ### Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
4626 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
4628 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
4629 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
4632 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
4633 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
4634 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
4635 client authentication enabled.
4637 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
4642 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
4644 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
4645 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
4646 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
4649 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
4650 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
4651 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
4652 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
4653 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
4656 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
4657 independently by Hanno Böck.
4662 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
4664 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
4665 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
4666 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
4668 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
4669 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
4670 servers are not affected.
4672 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
4677 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
4679 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
4680 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
4681 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
4683 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
4688 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
4690 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
4691 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
4692 a double free of the ticket data.
4697 * Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
4698 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
4699 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
4703 ### Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
4705 * ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
4707 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
4708 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
4709 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
4711 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
4715 *Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell*
4717 * Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
4719 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
4720 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
4721 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
4722 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
4723 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
4724 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
4725 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
4726 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
4728 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
4733 * Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
4735 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
4736 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
4737 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
4738 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
4739 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
4740 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
4741 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
4742 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
4745 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
4750 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
4752 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
4753 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
4754 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
4755 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
4756 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
4757 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
4762 * Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
4764 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
4765 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
4766 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
4767 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
4768 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
4769 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
4770 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
4772 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
4777 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
4779 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
4780 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
4781 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
4783 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
4784 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
4785 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
4791 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
4793 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
4794 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
4795 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
4797 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
4798 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
4799 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
4801 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
4806 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
4808 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
4809 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
4810 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
4812 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
4813 (OpenSSL development team).
4818 * Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
4820 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
4821 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
4822 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
4827 * Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
4829 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
4830 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
4831 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
4832 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
4833 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
4834 SSL_client_methodv23)
4835 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
4836 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
4838 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
4839 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
4840 output may be predictable.
4842 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
4843 succeed on an unpatched platform:
4845 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
4850 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
4852 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
4853 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
4854 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
4855 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
4856 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
4857 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
4859 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
4865 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
4867 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
4868 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
4870 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
4875 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
4879 ### Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
4881 * Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
4882 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
4883 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
4884 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
4885 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
4886 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
4890 * Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
4891 (other platforms pending).
4893 *Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov*
4895 * Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
4896 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
4900 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
4901 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
4902 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
4906 * Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
4907 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
4908 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
4909 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
4913 * Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
4915 *Marcelo Cerri (IBM)*
4917 * Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
4918 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
4919 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
4920 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
4922 *Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)*
4924 * Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
4928 * Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
4929 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
4930 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
4932 *Andy Polyakov, David Miller*
4934 * Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
4937 *Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)*
4939 * Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
4940 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
4941 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
4944 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
4948 * Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
4949 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
4950 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
4954 * Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
4955 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
4959 * Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
4960 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
4964 * Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
4965 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
4966 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
4967 algorithms and include tests cases.
4971 * Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
4974 *Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson*
4976 * New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
4977 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
4981 * Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
4982 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
4983 summary of the connection parameters.
4987 * New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
4988 of connection parameters.
4992 * Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
4994 *Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie*
4996 * New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
4997 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
5001 * New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
5005 * New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
5006 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
5010 * New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
5011 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
5015 * Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
5020 * Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
5021 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
5022 CRLs using the OCSP API.
5026 * Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
5030 * `SSL_CONF*` functions. These provide a common framework for application
5031 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
5035 * SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
5036 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
5037 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
5042 * New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
5043 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
5047 * New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
5052 * Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
5057 * New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
5058 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
5059 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
5060 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
5064 * New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
5065 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
5069 * Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
5070 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
5071 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
5076 * If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
5077 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
5078 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
5079 use the certificate.
5083 * If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
5087 * Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
5088 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
5089 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
5090 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
5091 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
5092 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
5093 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
5095 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
5096 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
5100 * New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
5101 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
5102 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
5106 * New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
5107 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
5108 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
5109 supported signature algorithms.
5113 * Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
5117 * Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
5118 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
5119 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
5120 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
5121 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
5122 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
5123 certificate and specify the whole chain.
5127 * Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
5128 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
5129 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
5130 to have similar checks in it.
5132 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
5133 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
5134 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
5135 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
5136 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
5140 * Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
5141 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
5142 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
5143 shared signature algorithms.
5147 * Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
5148 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
5153 * New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
5154 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
5155 it couldn't be removed.
5159 * Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
5160 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
5164 * Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
5165 functions. Add manual page.
5167 *Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)*
5169 * New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
5170 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
5175 * Fix OCSP checking.
5177 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie*
5179 * Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
5180 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
5181 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
5182 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
5187 * Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
5188 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
5192 * MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
5193 platform support for Linux and Android.
5197 * Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
5201 * Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
5202 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
5203 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
5204 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
5205 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
5209 * Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
5210 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
5211 the new parameter format automatically.
5215 * Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
5216 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
5220 * Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
5224 * Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
5225 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
5226 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
5227 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
5228 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
5232 * Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
5233 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
5234 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
5235 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
5236 to set list of supported curves.
5240 * New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
5241 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
5242 to print out received values.
5246 * Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
5247 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
5248 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
5252 * Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
5253 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
5257 * Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
5258 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
5262 * Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
5267 * New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
5269 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
5270 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
5271 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
5276 ### Changes between 1.0.1t and 1.0.1u [22 Sep 2016]
5278 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
5280 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
5281 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
5282 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
5283 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
5284 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
5285 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
5286 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
5288 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5293 * In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
5296 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
5302 * OOB write in MDC2_Update()
5304 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
5305 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
5306 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
5307 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
5308 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
5310 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
5313 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5318 * Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
5320 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
5321 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
5324 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
5325 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
5327 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5332 * OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
5334 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
5335 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
5336 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
5337 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
5338 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
5340 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5345 * OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
5347 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
5348 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
5349 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
5352 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5357 * Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
5359 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
5361 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
5364 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
5367 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
5370 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
5371 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
5372 undefined behaviour.
5374 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
5375 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
5376 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
5378 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
5383 * Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
5385 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
5386 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
5387 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
5388 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
5389 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
5391 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
5392 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
5393 Adelaide and NICTA).
5398 * DTLS buffered message DoS
5400 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
5401 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
5402 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
5403 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
5404 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
5405 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
5406 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
5407 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
5408 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
5409 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
5411 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
5416 * DTLS replay protection DoS
5418 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
5419 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
5420 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
5421 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
5422 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
5423 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
5424 service for a specific DTLS connection.
5426 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
5431 * Certificate message OOB reads
5433 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
5434 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
5435 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
5438 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
5439 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
5440 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
5442 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5447 ### Changes between 1.0.1s and 1.0.1t [3 May 2016]
5449 * Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
5451 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
5452 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
5455 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
5456 attack [CVE-2013-0169][]. The padding check was rewritten to be in
5457 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
5458 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
5459 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
5462 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
5467 * Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
5469 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
5470 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
5471 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
5474 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
5475 the `PEM_write_bio*` family of functions. These are mainly used within the
5476 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
5477 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
5478 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
5479 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
5481 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
5486 * Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
5488 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
5489 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
5490 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
5491 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
5492 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
5493 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
5494 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
5495 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
5496 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
5497 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
5498 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
5499 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
5500 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
5501 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
5502 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
5503 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
5505 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
5510 * Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
5512 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
5513 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
5514 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
5516 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
5517 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
5518 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
5519 applications are not affected.
5521 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
5528 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
5529 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
5530 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
5532 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
5537 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
5538 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
5542 * Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
5547 * Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
5548 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
5552 ### Changes between 1.0.1r and 1.0.1s [1 Mar 2016]
5554 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
5555 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
5556 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
5560 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
5561 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
5562 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
5563 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
5564 will need to explicitly call either of:
5566 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
5568 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
5570 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
5571 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
5572 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
5573 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
5574 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
5579 * Fix a double-free in DSA code
5581 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
5582 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
5583 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
5586 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
5592 * Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
5594 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
5596 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
5597 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
5598 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
5601 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
5602 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
5603 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
5604 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
5605 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
5606 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
5607 that of a valid user.
5612 * Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
5614 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
5615 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
5616 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
5617 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
5618 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
5619 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
5620 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
5621 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
5622 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
5623 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
5624 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
5626 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
5627 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
5628 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
5629 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
5630 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
5632 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
5637 * Fix memory issues in `BIO_*printf` functions
5639 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
5640 the `BIO_*printf` functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
5641 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
5643 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
5644 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
5645 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
5646 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
5647 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
5650 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
5651 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
5652 is passed to the `BIO_*printf` functions. If applications use these functions
5653 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
5654 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
5655 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
5656 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
5657 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
5658 as command line arguments.
5660 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
5661 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
5662 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
5664 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
5669 * Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
5671 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
5672 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
5673 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
5674 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
5675 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
5677 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
5678 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
5679 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
5680 <http://cachebleed.info>.
5685 * Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
5686 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
5687 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
5688 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
5692 ### Changes between 1.0.1q and 1.0.1r [28 Jan 2016]
5694 * Protection for DH small subgroup attacks
5696 As a precautionary measure the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been
5697 switched on by default and cannot be disabled. This could have some
5702 * SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
5704 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
5705 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
5706 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
5709 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
5710 and Sebastian Schinzel.
5715 * Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
5719 ### Changes between 1.0.1p and 1.0.1q [3 Dec 2015]
5721 * Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
5723 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
5724 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
5725 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
5726 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
5727 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
5728 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
5729 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
5732 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
5737 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
5739 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
5740 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
5741 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
5742 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
5744 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
5750 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
5751 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
5752 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
5753 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
5757 * In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
5758 use a random seed, as already documented.
5760 *Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>*
5762 ### Changes between 1.0.1o and 1.0.1p [9 Jul 2015]
5764 * Alternate chains certificate forgery
5766 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
5767 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
5768 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
5769 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
5770 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
5771 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
5773 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
5779 * Race condition handling PSK identify hint
5781 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
5782 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
5783 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
5789 ### Changes between 1.0.1n and 1.0.1o [12 Jun 2015]
5791 * Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
5792 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
5795 ### Changes between 1.0.1m and 1.0.1n [11 Jun 2015]
5797 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
5799 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
5800 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
5803 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
5804 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
5805 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
5806 client authentication enabled.
5808 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
5813 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
5815 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
5816 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
5817 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
5820 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
5821 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
5822 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
5823 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
5824 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
5827 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
5828 independently by Hanno Böck.
5833 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
5835 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
5836 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
5837 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
5839 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
5840 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
5841 servers are not affected.
5843 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
5848 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
5850 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
5851 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
5852 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
5854 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
5859 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
5861 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
5862 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
5863 a double free of the ticket data.
5868 * Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
5870 *Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper*
5872 * dhparam: generate 2048-bit parameters by default.
5874 *Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper*
5876 ### Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.1m [19 Mar 2015]
5878 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
5880 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
5881 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
5882 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
5883 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
5884 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
5885 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
5890 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
5892 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
5893 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
5894 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
5896 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
5897 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
5898 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
5904 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
5906 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
5907 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
5908 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
5910 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
5911 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
5912 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
5914 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
5919 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
5921 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
5922 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
5923 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
5925 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
5926 (OpenSSL development team).
5931 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
5933 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
5934 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
5935 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
5936 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
5937 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
5938 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
5940 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
5946 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
5948 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
5949 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
5951 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
5956 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
5960 ### Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
5962 * Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
5964 *Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte*
5966 ### Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
5968 * Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
5969 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
5970 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
5971 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
5976 * Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
5977 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
5978 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
5979 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
5980 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
5981 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
5986 * Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
5987 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
5988 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
5989 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
5994 * Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
5997 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
5998 reporting this issue.
6003 * Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
6004 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
6005 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
6006 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
6007 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
6008 INRIA or reporting this issue.
6013 * Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
6014 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
6015 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
6016 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
6017 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
6018 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
6019 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
6025 * Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
6026 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
6028 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
6029 and can vary with the CTX.
6033 * Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
6035 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
6036 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
6037 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
6038 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
6039 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
6041 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
6043 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
6044 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
6046 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
6048 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
6049 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
6050 errors for some broken certificates.
6052 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
6054 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
6056 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
6057 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
6059 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
6060 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
6061 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
6062 (negative or with leading zeroes).
6064 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
6065 of the OpenSSL core team.
6071 * Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
6072 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
6073 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
6074 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
6075 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
6076 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
6077 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
6078 the OpenSSL core team.
6083 * Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
6084 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
6085 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
6086 sanity and breaks all known clients.
6088 *David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper*
6090 * Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
6091 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
6092 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
6096 * Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
6097 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
6098 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
6099 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
6100 announced in the initial ServerHello.
6102 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
6103 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
6104 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
6108 ### Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
6112 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
6113 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
6114 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
6115 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
6116 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
6117 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
6118 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
6120 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
6125 * Session Ticket Memory Leak.
6127 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
6128 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
6129 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
6130 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
6131 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
6137 * Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
6139 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
6140 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
6141 configured to send them.
6144 *Akamai and the OpenSSL team*
6146 * Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
6147 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
6148 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
6151 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
6153 * Add additional DigestInfo checks.
6155 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
6156 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
6157 DigestInfo structures.
6159 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
6163 ### Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
6165 * Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
6166 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
6167 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
6169 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
6170 Group for discovering this issue.
6175 * A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
6176 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
6177 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
6178 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
6179 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
6181 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
6182 researching this issue.
6187 * OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
6188 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
6189 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
6190 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
6192 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
6198 * By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
6199 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
6200 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
6205 * An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
6206 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
6207 Denial of Service attack.
6208 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
6213 * An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
6214 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
6215 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
6216 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
6222 * If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
6223 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
6224 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
6226 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
6232 * A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
6233 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
6234 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
6235 Denial of Service attack.
6237 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
6238 discovering and researching this issue.
6243 * A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
6244 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
6245 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
6246 output to the attacker.
6248 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
6251 *Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson*
6253 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
6254 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
6255 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
6259 ### Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
6261 * Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
6262 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
6263 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
6265 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
6266 researching this issue. [CVE-2014-0224][]
6268 *KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson*
6270 * Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
6271 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
6274 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
6277 *Imre Rad, Steve Henson*
6279 * Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
6280 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
6281 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
6282 code on a vulnerable client or server.
6284 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. [CVE-2014-0195][]
6286 *Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson*
6288 * Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
6289 are subject to a denial of service attack.
6291 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
6292 this issue. [CVE-2014-3470][]
6294 *Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson*
6296 * Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
6299 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
6301 * Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
6302 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
6304 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
6306 * Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
6308 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
6310 ### Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
6312 * A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
6313 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
6316 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
6317 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
6318 preparing the fix [CVE-2014-0160][]
6320 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
6322 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
6323 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
6324 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
6325 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140>
6327 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
6328 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix [CVE-2014-0076][]
6330 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
6332 * TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
6334 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
6335 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
6336 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
6337 is at least 512 bytes long.
6339 *Adam Langley, Steve Henson*
6341 ### Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
6343 * Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
6344 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
6345 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
6348 * Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
6349 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
6350 to be resent. [CVE-2013-6450][]
6354 * Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
6355 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
6356 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
6357 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
6358 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
6359 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
6361 *Rob Stradling, Adam Langley*
6363 ### Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
6365 * Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
6366 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
6368 *Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
6370 ### Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
6372 * Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
6374 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
6375 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
6376 at: <http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/>
6378 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
6379 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
6380 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
6381 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
6384 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
6386 * Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
6387 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
6388 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
6389 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
6390 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
6395 * Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
6396 This fixes a DoS attack. [CVE-2013-0166][]
6400 * Make openssl verify return errors.
6402 *Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
6404 * Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
6405 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
6406 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
6407 See <http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836>.
6409 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>*
6411 * Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
6415 * Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
6420 ### Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
6422 * Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
6423 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
6425 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
6426 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
6431 * Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
6432 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
6436 * In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
6441 ### Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
6443 * OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
6444 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
6445 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
6446 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
6447 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
6448 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
6449 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
6450 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
6451 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
6452 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
6456 * In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
6457 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
6458 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
6459 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
6460 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
6461 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
6466 ### Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
6468 * Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
6469 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
6470 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
6472 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
6473 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
6476 *Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team*
6478 * Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
6482 * Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
6483 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
6485 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
6486 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
6487 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
6488 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
6489 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
6490 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
6491 Most broken servers should now work.
6492 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
6493 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
6497 * Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
6501 ### Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
6503 * Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
6504 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
6508 * The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
6509 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
6510 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
6511 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
6512 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
6516 * Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
6517 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
6518 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
6519 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
6520 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
6524 * Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
6526 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
6528 * Add support for SCTP.
6530 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
6532 * Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
6534 *Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>*
6536 * Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
6538 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
6539 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
6540 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
6541 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
6542 - s390x: z196 support;
6543 - `*`: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
6547 * Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
6548 (removal of unnecessary code)
6550 *Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>*
6552 * Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
6556 * Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
6560 * Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
6561 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00>. Can be
6562 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
6565 *Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
6567 * Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
6568 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
6569 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type `__uint128_t` is
6570 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
6571 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
6573 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
6574 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
6575 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
6577 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
6578 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
6579 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
6581 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
6582 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
6585 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
6587 * Use type ossl_ssize_t instead of ssize_t which isn't available on
6588 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
6589 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
6593 * New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
6594 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
6599 * Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
6600 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
6601 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
6605 * Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
6606 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
6607 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
6608 the appropriate parameters.
6612 * Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
6613 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
6614 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
6615 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
6616 against a number of sample certificates.
6620 * Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
6622 *Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>*
6624 * Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
6625 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
6627 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
6628 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
6633 * Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
6638 * Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
6639 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
6640 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
6641 password based CMS).
6645 * Session-handling fixes:
6646 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
6647 but also support Session Tickets.
6648 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
6649 presented a ticket with an expired session.
6650 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
6651 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
6652 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
6654 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
6656 * Fix PSK session representation.
6660 * Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
6662 This work was sponsored by Intel.
6666 * Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
6667 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
6668 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
6669 RFC5289. Generalise some `AES*` cipherstrings to include GCM and
6670 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
6674 * Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
6675 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
6679 * Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
6680 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
6681 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
6685 * For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
6686 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
6687 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
6688 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
6692 * Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
6693 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
6694 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
6698 * Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
6700 *Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson*
6702 * Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
6706 * Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
6707 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
6711 * New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
6715 * Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
6716 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
6720 * Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
6721 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
6725 * Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
6729 * Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
6730 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
6731 to use them can use the `private_*` version instead.
6735 * Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
6739 * Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
6743 * Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
6744 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
6748 * Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
6749 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
6750 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
6754 * Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
6758 * Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
6763 * Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
6764 FIPS modules versions.
6768 * Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
6769 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
6770 until after the certificate request message is received.
6774 * Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
6775 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
6776 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
6777 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
6781 * Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
6782 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
6783 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
6784 support yet and no support for client certificates.
6788 * Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
6789 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
6790 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
6791 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
6792 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
6793 and version checking.
6797 * New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
6798 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
6799 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
6800 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
6804 * A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
6805 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
6806 *Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
6807 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
6810 * Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
6814 * Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
6815 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
6817 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
6819 * Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
6820 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
6821 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
6825 * Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
6827 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson*
6829 * Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
6830 a few changes are required:
6832 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
6833 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
6834 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
6835 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
6836 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
6843 ### Changes between 1.0.0s and 1.0.0t [3 Dec 2015]
6845 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
6847 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
6848 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
6849 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
6850 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
6852 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
6858 * Race condition handling PSK identify hint
6860 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
6861 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
6862 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
6868 ### Changes between 1.0.0r and 1.0.0s [11 Jun 2015]
6870 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
6872 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
6873 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
6876 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
6877 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
6878 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
6879 client authentication enabled.
6881 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
6886 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
6888 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
6889 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
6890 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
6893 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
6894 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
6895 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
6896 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
6897 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
6900 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
6901 independently by Hanno Böck.
6906 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
6908 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
6909 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
6910 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
6912 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
6913 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
6914 servers are not affected.
6916 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
6921 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
6923 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
6924 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
6925 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
6927 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
6932 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
6934 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
6935 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
6936 a double free of the ticket data.
6941 ### Changes between 1.0.0q and 1.0.0r [19 Mar 2015]
6943 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
6945 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
6946 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
6947 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
6948 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
6949 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
6950 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
6955 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
6957 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
6958 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
6959 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
6961 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
6962 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
6963 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
6969 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
6971 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
6972 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
6973 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
6975 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
6976 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
6977 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
6979 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
6984 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
6986 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
6987 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
6988 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
6990 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
6991 (OpenSSL development team).
6996 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
6998 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
6999 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
7000 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
7001 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
7002 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
7003 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
7005 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
7011 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
7013 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
7014 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
7016 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
7021 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
7025 ### Changes between 1.0.0p and 1.0.0q [15 Jan 2015]
7027 * Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
7029 *Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte*
7031 ### Changes between 1.0.0o and 1.0.0p [8 Jan 2015]
7033 * Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
7034 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
7035 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
7036 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
7041 * Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
7042 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
7043 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
7044 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
7045 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
7046 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
7051 * Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
7052 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
7053 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
7054 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
7059 * Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
7062 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
7063 reporting this issue.
7068 * Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
7069 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
7070 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
7071 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
7072 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
7073 INRIA or reporting this issue.
7078 * Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
7079 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
7080 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
7081 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
7082 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
7083 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
7084 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
7090 * Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
7091 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
7092 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
7093 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
7094 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
7095 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
7096 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
7097 the OpenSSL core team.
7102 * Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
7104 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
7105 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
7106 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
7107 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
7108 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
7110 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
7112 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
7113 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
7115 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
7117 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
7118 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
7119 errors for some broken certificates.
7121 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
7123 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
7125 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
7126 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
7128 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
7129 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
7130 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
7131 (negative or with leading zeroes).
7133 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
7134 of the OpenSSL core team.
7140 ### Changes between 1.0.0n and 1.0.0o [15 Oct 2014]
7142 * Session Ticket Memory Leak.
7144 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
7145 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
7146 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
7147 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
7148 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
7154 * Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
7156 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
7157 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
7158 configured to send them.
7161 *Akamai and the OpenSSL team*
7163 * Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
7164 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
7165 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
7168 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
7170 * Add additional DigestInfo checks.
7172 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
7173 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
7174 DigestInfo structures.
7176 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
7180 ### Changes between 1.0.0m and 1.0.0n [6 Aug 2014]
7182 * OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
7183 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
7184 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
7185 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
7187 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
7193 * By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
7194 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
7195 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
7200 * An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
7201 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
7202 Denial of Service attack.
7203 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
7208 * An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
7209 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
7210 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
7211 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
7217 * If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
7218 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
7219 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
7221 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
7227 * A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
7228 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
7229 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
7230 output to the attacker.
7232 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
7235 *Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson*
7237 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
7238 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
7239 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
7243 ### Changes between 1.0.0l and 1.0.0m [5 Jun 2014]
7245 * Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
7246 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
7247 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
7249 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
7250 researching this issue. [CVE-2014-0224][]
7252 *KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson*
7254 * Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
7255 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
7258 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
7261 *Imre Rad, Steve Henson*
7263 * Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
7264 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
7265 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
7266 code on a vulnerable client or server.
7268 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. [CVE-2014-0195][]
7270 *Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson*
7272 * Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
7273 are subject to a denial of service attack.
7275 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
7276 this issue. [CVE-2014-3470][]
7278 *Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson*
7280 * Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
7283 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7285 * Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
7286 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
7288 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7290 * Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
7292 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7294 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
7295 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
7296 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
7297 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140>
7299 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
7300 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix [CVE-2014-0076][]
7302 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
7304 ### Changes between 1.0.0k and 1.0.0l [6 Jan 2014]
7306 * Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
7307 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
7308 to be resent. [CVE-2013-6450][]
7312 * Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
7313 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
7314 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
7315 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
7316 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
7317 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
7319 *Rob Stradling, Adam Langley*
7321 ### Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
7323 * Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
7325 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
7326 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
7327 at: <http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/>
7329 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
7330 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
7331 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
7332 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
7335 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
7337 * Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
7338 This fixes a DoS attack. [CVE-2013-0166][]
7342 * Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
7343 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
7344 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
7345 See <http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836>.
7346 (This is a backport)
7348 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>*
7350 * Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
7354 ### Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
7356 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
7359 * Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
7362 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
7363 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
7368 * Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
7369 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
7373 ### Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
7375 * Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
7376 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
7377 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
7379 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
7380 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
7383 *Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team*
7385 ### Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
7387 * Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
7388 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
7389 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
7390 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
7391 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
7392 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
7393 an MMA defence is not necessary.
7394 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
7395 this issue. [CVE-2012-0884][]
7399 * Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
7400 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
7401 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
7405 ### Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
7407 * Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
7408 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
7409 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
7410 preparing a fix. [CVE-2012-0050][]
7414 ### Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
7416 * Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
7417 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
7418 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
7419 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
7420 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
7421 paper describing this attack can be found at:

7423 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
7424 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
7425 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
7426 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
7427 for preparing the fix. [CVE-2011-4108][]
7429 *Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen*
7431 * Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
7434 *Adam Langley (Google)*
7436 * Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
7437 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
7438 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. [CVE-2011-4619][]

7444 *Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>*
7446 * Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
7447 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
7448 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. [CVE-2011-4577][]
7450 *Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>*
7452 * Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
7454 *Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>*
7456 * Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
7458 *Adam Langley (Google)*
7460 * Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
7462 *Emilia Käsper (Google)*
7464 * Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
7465 interpretations of the `..._len` fields).
7467 *Adam Langley (Google)*
7469 * Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
7470 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
7471 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
7473 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
7474 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
7475 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
7476 the last update always remained unused).
7478 *Emilia Käsper (Google)*
7480 * In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
7482 *Bob Buckholz (Google)*
7484 ### Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
7486 * Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
7487 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. [CVE-2011-3207][]
7489 *Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>*
7491 * Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
7492 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. [CVE-2011-3210][]
7494 *Adam Langley (Google)*
7496 * Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
7500 * Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
7501 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
7502 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
7506 * Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
7507 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
7508 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf>
7510 *Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri*

7516 *Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
7518 * Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
7519 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
7524 ### Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
7526 * Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
7527 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
7528 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
7532 * Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
7533 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
7534 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
7538 ### Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
7540 * Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
7541 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
7542 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
7546 * Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
7551 ### Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
7553 * Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
7556 *Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>*
7558 ### Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
7560 * Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
7561 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
7562 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
7566 * Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
7570 * Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
7571 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
7573 *Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>*
7575 * Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
7576 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
7577 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
7581 * Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
7582 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
7586 * Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
7587 some responders need this.
7591 * The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
7594 *Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>*
7596 * Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
7597 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
7598 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
7602 * Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
7606 * In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
7607 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
7608 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
7609 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
7610 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
7611 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
7612 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
7613 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
7617 * Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
7618 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
7619 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
7621 *Guenter <lists@gknw.net>*
7623 * Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
7625 *Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>*
7627 * Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
7632 * Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
7633 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
7634 `EVP_MD_do_all*()` and `EVP_CIPHER_do_all*()` to include the name a digest
7635 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
7636 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
7637 attempting to work them out.
7641 * If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
7642 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
7643 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
7644 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
7648 * Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
7649 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
7650 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
7651 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
7652 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
7656 * Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
7657 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
7664 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
7666 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
7670 * Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
7672 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
7674 * Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
7676 *Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson*
7678 * Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
7679 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
7680 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
7681 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
7682 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
7686 * Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
7687 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
7688 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
7692 * Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
7693 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
7697 * Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
7699 *Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>*
7701 * Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
7702 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
7706 * Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
7710 * Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
7711 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
7712 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
7717 * New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
7718 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
7719 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
7720 as the year 2038 bug. New `*_adj()` functions for ASN1 time structures
7721 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
7722 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
7726 * Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
7727 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
7729 This work was sponsored by Google.
7733 * Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
7734 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
7735 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
7736 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
7737 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
7738 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
7739 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
7742 This work was sponsored by Google.
7746 * Support for freshest CRL extension.
7748 This work was sponsored by Google.
7752 * Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
7753 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
7754 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
7755 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
7757 This work was sponsored by Google.
7761 * Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
7762 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
7763 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
7764 CRL functionality in future.
7766 This work was sponsored by Google.
7770 * Add support for policy mappings extension.
7772 This work was sponsored by Google.
7776 * Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
7777 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
7779 This work was sponsored by Google.
7783 * Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
7784 and URI types are currently supported.
7786 This work was sponsored by Google.
7790 * To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
7791 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
7792 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
7793 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
7794 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
7795 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
7796 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
7797 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
7799 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
7800 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
7801 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
7803 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
7804 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
7805 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
7806 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
7808 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
7809 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
7810 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
7811 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
7812 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
7813 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
7814 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
7815 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
7818 *Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller*
7820 * Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
7821 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
7822 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
7824 This work was sponsored by Google.
7828 * Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
7832 * Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
7833 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
7834 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
7838 * Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
7839 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
7843 * Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
7844 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
7848 * Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
7849 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
7850 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
7851 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
7852 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
7853 content types and variants.
7857 * Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
7861 * Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
7862 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
7863 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
7864 files from the associated perl scripts.
7868 * Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
7869 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
7871 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
7873 * s390x assembler pack.
7877 * ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
7882 * Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
7883 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
7884 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
7885 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
7886 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
7887 to use. For example, specify an option
7889 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
7891 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
7892 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
7893 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
7894 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
7895 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
7896 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
7898 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
7899 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
7900 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
7901 return non-zero for success.
7903 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
7906 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
7907 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7911 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
7914 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
7915 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
7916 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
7917 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
7918 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
7919 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
7920 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
7921 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
7922 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
7924 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
7925 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
7926 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
7927 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
7928 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
7929 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
7931 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
7932 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
7933 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
7934 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
7935 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
7936 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
7940 * Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
7943 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
7945 * Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
7946 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
7947 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
7950 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
7951 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
7954 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
7955 protection in servers so again support should be possible
7956 with no application modification.
7958 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
7959 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
7961 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
7962 or server extensions to be examined.
7964 This work was sponsored by Google.
7968 * Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
7969 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
7971 *Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson*
7973 * Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
7974 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
7975 ciphersuite support.
7977 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson*
7979 * Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
7980 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
7981 to output in BER and PEM format.
7985 * Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
7986 allows HMAC to be handled via the `EVP_DigestSign*()` interface. The
7987 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
7988 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
7989 -macopt options to dgst utility.
7993 * New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
7994 `EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*`. These two changes make it possible to use
7995 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
8000 * Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
8001 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
8002 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
8003 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
8004 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
8005 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
8006 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
8007 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
8010 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
8011 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
8012 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
8013 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
8015 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
8016 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
8017 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
8022 * Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
8023 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
8024 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
8025 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
8026 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
8027 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
8028 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
8029 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
8031 *Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni*
8033 * Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
8034 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
8035 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
8036 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
8037 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
8038 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
8039 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
8040 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
8041 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
8042 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
8043 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
8046 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
8047 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
8048 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
8050 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
8051 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
8056 * Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
8057 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
8058 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
8062 * Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
8063 it yet and it is largely untested.
8067 * Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
8071 * Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
8072 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
8073 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
8077 * Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
8081 * Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
8082 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
8083 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
8084 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
8088 * Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
8089 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
8090 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
8091 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
8092 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
8096 * GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
8097 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
8101 * Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
8102 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
8103 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
8104 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
8108 * New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
8109 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
8110 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
8111 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
8115 * Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
8116 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
8120 * New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
8121 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
8122 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
8123 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
8127 * Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
8128 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
8129 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
8133 * Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
8138 * Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
8139 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
8143 * During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
8144 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
8145 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
8150 * New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
8151 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
8152 to free up any added signature OIDs.
8156 * New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
8157 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
8158 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
8159 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
8163 * Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
8164 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
8165 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
8166 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
8167 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
8168 the array representation useful in a more general context.
8172 * Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
8173 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
8174 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
8175 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
8176 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
8178 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
8179 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
8180 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
8181 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
8182 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
8185 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
8186 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
8187 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
8188 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
8190 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
8191 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
8192 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
8193 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
8194 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
8200 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
8201 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
8205 * Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
8206 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
8210 * Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
8211 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
8215 * Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
8216 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
8217 functional reference processing.
8221 * New functions `EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*`. These are enhanced versions of
8222 `EVP_{Sign,Verify}*` which allow an application to customise the signature
8227 * New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
8228 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
8229 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
8233 * Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
8234 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
8235 application to support multiple signers.
8239 * New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
8244 * Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
8245 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
8246 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
8247 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
8248 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
8252 * Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
8257 * Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
8258 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
8259 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
8260 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
8265 * Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
8266 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
8267 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
8268 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
8269 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
8270 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
8271 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
8272 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
8276 * Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
8277 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
8278 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
8279 between digests and public key types.
8283 * Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
8284 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
8285 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
8286 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
8290 * Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
8291 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
8296 * Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
8300 * Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
8305 * Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
8306 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
8307 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
8308 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
8315 *Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>*
8317 * New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
8320 *Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>*
8322 * New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
8323 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
8324 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
8325 functionality for RSA.
8329 * Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
8330 functions `EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}` have been renamed to
8331 `EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old`.
8335 * Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
8336 key API, doesn't do much yet.
8340 * New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
8341 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
8342 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
8346 * Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
8347 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
8351 * Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
8352 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
8356 * New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
8357 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
8362 * Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
8363 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
8364 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
8369 * Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
8370 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
8371 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
8372 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
8373 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
8374 of public and private key structures.
8378 * Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
8379 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
8383 * Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
8384 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
8385 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
8388 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
8392 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
8393 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
8394 SSL_get_psk_identity
8395 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
8397 *Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation*
8399 * Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
8400 and response verification functionality.
8402 *Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project*
8404 * Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
8405 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
8406 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
8407 additional member `SSL_CTX *initial_ctx` so that new sessions can be
8408 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
8409 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
8410 server_name extension.
8412 New functions (subject to change):
8414 SSL_get_servername()
8415 SSL_get_servername_type()
8418 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
8420 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
8421 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
8422 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
8423 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
8424 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
8426 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
8428 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
8429 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
8430 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
8431 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
8432 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
8433 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
8436 *Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou*
8438 * Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
8442 * BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
8443 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
8444 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
8445 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
8446 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
8450 * Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
8451 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
8456 * New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
8457 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
8458 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
8459 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
8463 * New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
8464 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
8465 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
8466 using the maximum available value.
8470 * New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
8471 in addition to the text details.
8475 * Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
8476 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
8477 handle several customised structures at all.
8481 * Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
8482 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
8483 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
8487 * Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
8491 * Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
8492 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
8493 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
8497 * Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
8498 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
8499 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
8503 * Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
8504 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
8509 * Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
8513 * Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
8520 ### Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
8522 * When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
8523 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
8524 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
8525 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
8526 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
8527 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
8528 protection is active. [CVE-2010-0740][]
8530 *Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>*
8532 * Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
8533 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
8535 *Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>*
8537 ### Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
8539 * Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. [CVE-2009-3245][]
8541 *Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta*
8543 * Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
8544 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
8548 * On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
8549 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
8550 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
8554 * The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
8555 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
8556 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
8557 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
8558 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
8559 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
8563 * Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
8564 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
8565 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
8569 * Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
8570 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
8571 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
8572 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
8573 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
8574 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
8579 * Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
8580 change when encrypting or decrypting.
8584 * Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
8585 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
8586 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
8590 * Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
8594 * If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
8595 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
8596 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
8597 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
8598 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
8599 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
8600 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
8601 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
8602 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
8606 * Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
8607 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
8608 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
8612 * Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
8613 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
8617 * Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
8618 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
8619 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
8620 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
8621 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
8622 know what you are doing.
8624 *Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson*
8626 * Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
8627 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
8628 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
8629 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
8630 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
8631 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
8636 * The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
8637 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
8638 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
8641 *Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>*
8643 * Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
8644 warnings in other configurations.
8648 * Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
8649 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
8650 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
8653 *Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley*
8655 * Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
8656 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
8658 *Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky*
8660 * Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
8661 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
8662 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
8663 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
8667 * Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
8672 * Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
8673 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
8676 *Guenter <lists@gknw.net>*
8678 * Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
8679 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
8680 other than a simple chain.
8682 *David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson*
8684 * Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
8685 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
8686 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
8687 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
8691 * In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
8692 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
8693 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
8694 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
8695 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
8696 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
8697 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
8698 buffered. [CVE-2009-1378][]
8700 *Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz*
8702 * Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
8703 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
8704 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
8705 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
8706 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
8707 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
8710 *Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz*
8712 * Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
8713 parent structure is freed. [CVE-2009-1379][]
8717 * Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
8719 *Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>*
8721 * Add `2.5.4.*` OIDs
8723 *Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>*
8725 ### Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
8727 * Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
8728 problem [CVE-2009-3555][] at the cost of breaking all
8729 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
8730 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
8731 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
8736 ### Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
8738 * Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
8739 underlying code. If `sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long)` this can result in
8740 zeroing past the valid field. [CVE-2009-0789][]
8742 *Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>*
8744 * Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
8745 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
8746 appear to verify correctly. [CVE-2009-0591][]
8748 *Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>*
8750 * Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
8751 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
8752 a legal length. [CVE-2009-0590][]
8756 * Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
8757 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
8762 * Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
8763 to handle some structures.
8767 * Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
8770 *Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>*
8772 * New -hex option for openssl rand.
8776 * Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
8780 * Support NumericString type for name components.
8784 * Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
8785 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
8790 ### Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
8792 * Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
8795 *Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team*
8797 * Enable TLS extensions by default.
8801 * Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
8802 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
8803 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
8805 *Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>*
8807 * Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
8809 *Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger*
8811 * Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
8812 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
8816 * Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
8817 s_client and s_server.
8821 * Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
8823 *Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>*
8825 * Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
8827 *Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>*
8829 * Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
8830 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
8831 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
8832 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
8833 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
8837 ### Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
8839 * Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
8840 ChangeCipherSpec as first record [CVE-2009-1386][].
8844 * Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
8845 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be `..._ST_SW_SRVR_...`).
8849 * The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
8850 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
8851 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
8852 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
8854 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
8855 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
8857 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder*
8859 * Various precautionary measures:
8861 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
8863 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
8864 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
8865 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
8867 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
8868 outside the expected range.
8870 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
8873 *Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller*
8875 * Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
8876 the load fails. Useful for distros.
8878 *Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team*
8880 * Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
8884 * Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
8888 * Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
8890 This work was sponsored by Logica.
8894 * Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
8895 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
8896 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
8898 This work was sponsored by Logica.
8902 * Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
8903 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
8904 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
8909 ### Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
8911 * Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
8912 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
8913 Codenomicon TLS test suite [CVE-2008-1672][]
8915 *Steve Henson, Mark Cox*
8917 * Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
8918 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite [CVE-2008-0891][]
8922 * Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
8924 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
8925 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
8927 *Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo*
8929 * Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
8931 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
8932 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
8933 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
8934 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
8938 * RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
8939 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
8940 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
8941 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
8942 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
8943 invalid read after the end of 'db').
8945 *Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>*
8947 * Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
8949 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
8950 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
8951 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
8952 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
8953 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
8955 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
8956 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
8958 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
8959 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
8960 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
8961 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
8962 e.g. x86_64, try `-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD`.)
8964 *Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)*
8966 * Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
8967 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
8968 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
8969 sets may exist with different names.
8973 * Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
8974 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
8975 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
8976 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
8977 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
8978 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
8979 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
8980 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
8981 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
8984 *Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)*
8986 * Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
8987 implementation in the following ways:
8989 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
8992 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
8993 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
8994 ignored for embedded content.
8996 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
8997 with the enable-cms configuration option.
9001 * Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
9002 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
9003 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
9005 *Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>*
9007 * Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
9008 uncompresses any data passed through it.
9012 * Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
9013 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
9017 * Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
9018 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
9019 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
9020 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
9021 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
9022 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
9027 * Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
9028 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
9030 *Bodo Moeller (Google)*
9034 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
9035 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
9036 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
9037 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
9038 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
9039 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
9040 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
9041 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32

9050 *Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>*
9052 * Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
9053 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
9054 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
9055 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
9056 to s_client and s_server.
9060 ### Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
9063 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
9064 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
9065 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
9066 + Fix ia64 assembler code
9068 *Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
9070 ### Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
9072 * DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
9073 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
9074 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
9075 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
9076 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
9077 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
9078 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
9079 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
9083 * Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
9084 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
9085 *Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
9088 * Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
9089 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
9090 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
9093 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
9094 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
9097 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
9098 protection in servers so again support should be possible
9099 with no application modification.
9101 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
9102 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
9104 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
9105 or server extensions to be examined.
9107 This work was sponsored by Google.
9111 * Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
9112 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
9113 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
9114 additional member `SSL_CTX *initial_ctx` so that new sessions can be
9115 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
9116 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
9117 server_name extension.
9119 New functions (subject to change):
9121 SSL_get_servername()
9122 SSL_get_servername_type()
9125 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
9127 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
9128 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
9129 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
9130 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
9131 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
9133 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
9135 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
9136 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
9137 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
9138 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
9139 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
9140 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
9143 *Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson*
9145 * Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
9149 * Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
9153 * Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
9154 (which previously caused an internal error).
9158 * Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
9162 * AES IGE mode speedup.
9164 *Dean Gaudet (Google)*
9166 * Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
9167 <http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp>) and
9168 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
9170 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
9171 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
9172 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
9173 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
9175 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
9176 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
9177 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
9179 *KISA, Bodo Moeller*
9181 * Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
9182 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
9183 information. For detailed background information, see
9184 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039> (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
9185 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
9186 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
9187 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
9188 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
9189 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
9190 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
9191 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
9192 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
9193 remove a conditional branch.
9195 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
9196 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
9197 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
9198 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
9199 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
9200 remains as a deprecated alias.
9202 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
9203 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
9204 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
9205 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
9207 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
9208 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
9209 modulus. This means that the previous `BIGNUM *m` argument to
9210 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
9211 essentially becomes `const BIGNUM *m`, although we can't actually
9212 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
9213 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
9214 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
9216 *Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)*
9218 * In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
9219 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
9220 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
9221 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
9222 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
9223 with applications using a single external cache for quite
9224 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
9225 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
9226 in a different context.
9230 * Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
9231 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
9232 authentication-only ciphersuites.
9236 * Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
9237 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
9238 [CVE-2007-5135][] [Ben Laurie]
9240 ### Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
9242 * Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
9243 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
9244 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
9245 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
9246 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
9250 * Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
9251 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
9252 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
9253 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
9254 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
9255 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
9259 * Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
9260 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
9261 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
9262 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
9263 message has informed the client about his choice.)
9267 * Add RFC 3779 support.
9269 *Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie*
9271 * Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
9272 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
9273 Improve header file function name parsing.
9277 * extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
9278 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
9282 ### Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
9284 * Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
9285 cause a denial of service. [CVE-2006-2940][]
9287 *Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
9289 * Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
9290 in a denial of service. [CVE-2006-2937][] [Steve Henson]
9292 * Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
9293 [CVE-2006-3738][] [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
9295 * Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
9296 malicious SSLv2 server. [CVE-2006-4343][]
9298 *Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team*
9300 * Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
9301 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
9302 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
9303 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
9304 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
9305 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
9306 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
9307 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
9308 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
9310 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
9311 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
9312 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
9313 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
9314 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
9316 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
9317 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
9318 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
9319 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
9320 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
9321 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
9322 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
9323 multiple values to extend the available space.
9327 ### Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
9329 * Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
9330 [CVE-2006-4339][] [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
9332 * Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
9336 * Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
9337 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
9338 undesirable limitations.
9340 *Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
9342 * Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
9343 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
9344 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
9345 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
9346 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
9347 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
9348 to avoid potential handshake problems.
9352 * Disable rogue ciphersuites:
9354 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
9355 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
9356 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
9358 The latter two were purportedly from
9359 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
9362 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
9363 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
9364 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
9368 * Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
9369 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
9373 * Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
9374 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
9375 (see <http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html>).
9376 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
9378 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
9379 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
9380 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
9384 * Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
9385 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
9386 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
9387 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
9388 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
9389 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
9393 ### Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
9395 * When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
9396 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
9400 * Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
9402 *Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>*
9404 * Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
9405 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
9406 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
9407 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
9411 * New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
9412 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
9416 * Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
9417 "zlib1.dll" and use the default `__cdecl` calling convention on Win32
9418 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
9419 <http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt>
9420 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
9421 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
9422 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
9427 * Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
9428 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
9429 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
9430 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
9434 * Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
9435 under VC++ build system.
9439 * Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
9440 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
9444 ### Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
9446 * Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
9447 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
9448 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
9449 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
9450 idea. [CVE-2005-2969][]
9452 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
9453 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
9454 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)*
9456 * Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
9460 * Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
9461 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
9465 * Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
9467 *Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie*
9469 * Add functions for well-known primes.
9473 * Extended Windows CE support.
9475 *Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov*
9477 * Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
9478 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
9482 * Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
9483 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
9488 ### Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
9490 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
9493 * Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
9497 * Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
9498 key into the same file any more.
9502 * Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
9506 * Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
9508 *Stefan <stf@udoma.org*
9510 * Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
9511 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
9515 * Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
9516 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
9517 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
9518 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
9519 this only applies when building 'shared'.
9521 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe*
9523 * Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
9524 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
9525 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
9529 * Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
9530 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
9531 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
9532 - add new function for parameter creation
9533 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
9534 BN_BLINDING parameters
9535 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
9536 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
9537 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
9542 * Add support for DTLS.
9544 *Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie*
9546 * Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
9547 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
9551 * Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
9552 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
9556 * Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
9557 the apps/openssl applications.
9561 * Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
9562 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
9563 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
9567 * Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
9568 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
9570 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
9571 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
9573 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
9574 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
9575 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
9576 avoid this algorithm.)
9580 * Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
9581 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
9582 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
9586 * RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
9587 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
9591 * New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
9592 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
9593 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
9596 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
9598 The blank line is mandatory.
9602 * New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
9603 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
9608 * New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
9609 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
9611 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
9612 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
9613 to support policy checking and print out.
9617 * Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
9618 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
9619 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
9621 *Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov*
9623 * Deprecate `BN_[get|set]_params()` functions (they were ignored internally).
9627 * New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
9629 *Andy Polyakov and a number of other people*
9631 * Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
9632 implementation contributed by IBM.
9634 *Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov*
9636 * The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
9637 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
9638 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
9640 *Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe*
9642 * Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
9643 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
9645 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
9646 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
9647 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
9648 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
9649 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
9650 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
9654 * Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
9655 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
9656 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
9657 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
9658 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
9659 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
9660 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
9664 * New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
9668 * Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
9669 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
9670 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
9671 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
9672 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
9673 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
9674 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
9675 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
9679 * Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
9680 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
9681 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
9682 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
9686 * Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
9689 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
9693 * Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
9694 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
9695 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
9696 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
9697 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
9698 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
9699 BN_CTX's "bundling".
9703 * Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
9704 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
9708 * Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
9709 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
9710 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
9714 * bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
9715 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
9716 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
9721 * Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
9722 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
9726 * BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
9727 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
9728 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
9729 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
9733 * BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
9734 initialised value as BN_new().
9736 *Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller*
9738 * Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
9742 * An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
9743 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
9744 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
9745 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
9746 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
9747 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
9748 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
9749 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
9750 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
9751 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
9752 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
9753 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
9754 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
9755 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
9757 *Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller*
9759 * BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
9760 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
9761 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
9762 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
9766 * Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
9767 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
9768 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
9769 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
9770 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
9771 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
9772 objects as "const" and the `lh_doall[_arg]` callback wrappers are not
9773 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
9774 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
9778 * The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
9779 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
9780 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
9781 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from
9782 `char *`. This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and
9784 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
9785 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
9789 * Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
9790 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
9791 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
9792 these have been updated also.
9796 * Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
9797 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
9798 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
9799 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
9800 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
9805 * New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
9806 structure of type "other".
9810 * Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
9811 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
9812 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
9813 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
9814 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
9815 situation in the script.
9817 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
9819 * Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
9820 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
9821 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
9822 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
9823 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
9824 used as premaster secret.
9826 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
9828 * Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
9829 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
9831 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
9833 * Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
9835 *Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte*
9837 * Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
9838 control of the error stack.
9842 * Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
9846 * Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
9847 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
9848 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
9849 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
9853 * Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
9854 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
9855 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
9859 * Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
9860 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
9861 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
9866 * Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
9867 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
9868 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
9869 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
9873 * Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
9874 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
9875 the following flags are defined:
9877 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
9878 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
9879 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
9882 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
9883 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
9884 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
9885 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
9890 * Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
9891 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
9892 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
9893 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
9894 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
9898 * Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
9899 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
9900 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
9904 * Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
9905 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
9906 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
9907 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
9908 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
9909 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
9913 * Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
9918 * Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
9922 * Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
9926 * Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
9930 * Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
9931 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
9932 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
9933 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
9934 default implementation more easily.
9938 * Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
9943 * Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
9944 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
9948 * Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
9949 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
9950 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
9951 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
9953 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
9954 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
9955 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
9956 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
9960 * Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
9961 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
9966 * In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
9967 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
9968 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
9969 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
9970 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
9971 scalar * generator).
9973 *Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller*
9975 * IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
9976 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
9977 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
9982 * Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
9983 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
9984 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
9985 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
9986 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
9987 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
9988 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
9989 linker additions, eg;
9990 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
9994 * "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
9995 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
9996 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
10000 * ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
10001 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
10002 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
10007 * Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
10008 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
10009 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
10010 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
10014 * Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
10015 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
10016 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have `_ex`
10017 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
10018 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
10019 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
10020 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
10021 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
10022 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
10023 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
10025 Example for using the new callback interface:
10027 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
10028 void *my_arg = ...;
10031 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
10033 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
10034 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
10035 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
10036 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
10037 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
10038 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
10043 * Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
10044 available to TLS with the number defined in
10045 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
10049 * Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
10050 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
10052 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
10053 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
10054 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
10055 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
10057 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
10058 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
10060 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
10061 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
10066 * Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
10067 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
10071 * Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
10072 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
10073 and a macro that behave like
10074 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
10076 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
10080 * Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
10081 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
10082 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
10085 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10087 * Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
10091 * Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
10092 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
10093 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
10094 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
10095 directory engines/.
10096 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
10097 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
10098 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
10099 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
10100 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
10101 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
10102 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
10104 *Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte*
10106 * Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
10107 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
10111 * Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
10113 *Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>*
10115 * Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
10116 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
10117 files while avoiding the low level API.
10119 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
10120 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
10121 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
10122 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
10124 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
10125 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
10126 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
10127 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
10128 instead of the low level API.
10132 * Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
10133 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
10134 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
10135 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
10136 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
10139 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
10140 down to the template encoder.
10144 * Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
10145 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
10149 * Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
10150 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
10151 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
10153 *Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10155 * Add ECDH engine support.
10157 *Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10159 * Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
10161 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10163 * Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
10164 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
10168 * Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
10169 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
10170 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
10174 * Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
10175 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
10177 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10179 * Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
10180 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
10183 EC_GF2m_simple_method
10187 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
10188 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
10189 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
10190 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
10191 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
10192 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
10194 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
10195 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
10198 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
10199 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
10200 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
10201 the above `..._GF2m functions` (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
10202 are essentially identical to their `..._GFp` counterparts.
10203 (For simplicity, the `..._GFp` prefix has been dropped from
10204 various internal method names.)
10206 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
10207 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
10209 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10211 * Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
10212 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
10214 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
10215 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
10216 methods are undefined.
10218 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10220 * New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
10221 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
10222 length of the modulus.
10224 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10226 * New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
10227 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
10229 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10231 * Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
10232 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
10233 used) in the following functions [macros]:
10236 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
10237 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
10238 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
10239 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
10241 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
10242 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
10243 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
10244 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
10246 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
10247 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
10249 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
10250 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
10251 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
10252 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
10253 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
10255 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
10256 This applies to the following functions:
10259 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
10260 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
10261 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
10262 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
10263 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
10264 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
10265 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
10269 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
10274 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
10276 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
10277 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
10278 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
10279 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
10280 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
10282 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10284 * Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
10285 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
10287 *Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>*
10289 * Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
10290 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
10292 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
10293 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
10294 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
10295 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
10297 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10299 * Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
10301 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
10302 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
10303 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
10304 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
10305 These control ASN1 encoding details:
10306 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
10307 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
10308 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
10309 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
10310 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
10311 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
10312 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
10314 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
10316 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
10317 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
10318 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
10319 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
10321 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10323 * Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
10324 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
10325 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
10327 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10330 EC_POINT_point2bn()
10331 EC_POINT_bn2point()
10332 EC_POINT_point2hex()
10333 EC_POINT_hex2point()
10334 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
10335 EC_POINT_oct2point().
10337 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10339 * Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
10340 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
10341 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
10342 EC_GROUP_get_order()
10343 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
10344 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
10345 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
10346 adding different types of curves.
10348 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller*
10350 * Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
10351 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
10352 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
10356 * Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
10357 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
10359 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
10360 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
10361 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
10363 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10365 * Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
10367 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
10368 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
10370 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
10371 library. Most notably,
10372 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
10373 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
10374 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
10375 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
10376 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
10377 extracted before the specific public key;
10378 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
10380 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10382 * Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
10383 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
10385 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
10386 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
10387 EC_get_builtin_curves().
10388 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
10390 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
10391 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
10393 *Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller*
10395 * Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
10396 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
10397 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
10398 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
10399 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
10400 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
10405 ### Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
10407 * Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
10410 *Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>*
10412 * Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
10413 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
10414 authentication-only ciphersuites.
10418 * Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
10419 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
10420 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
10424 * Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
10428 * Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
10429 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
10433 * New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
10434 run algorithm test programs.
10438 * Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
10442 * Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
10443 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
10444 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
10445 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
10446 message has informed the client about his choice.)
10450 * Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
10451 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
10455 ### Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
10457 * Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
10458 cause a denial of service. [CVE-2006-2940][]
10460 *Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
10462 * Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
10463 in a denial of service. [CVE-2006-2937][] [Steve Henson]
10465 * Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
10466 [CVE-2006-3738][] [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
10468 * Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
10469 malicious SSLv2 server. [CVE-2006-4343][]
10471 *Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team*
10473 * Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
10474 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
10475 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
10476 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
10477 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
10478 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
10479 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
10483 ### Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
10485 * Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
10486 [CVE-2006-4339][] [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
10488 * Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
10489 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
10490 undesirable limitations.
10492 *Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
10494 * Disable rogue ciphersuites:
10496 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
10497 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
10498 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
10500 The latter two were purportedly from
10501 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
10504 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
10505 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
10506 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
10510 * Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
10511 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
10515 ### Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
10517 * Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
10518 module in FIPS mode.
10522 * Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
10526 * Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
10527 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
10528 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
10529 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
10533 ### Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
10535 * Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
10536 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
10537 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
10538 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
10539 the difference induced by this change.
10543 ### Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
10545 * Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
10546 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
10547 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
10548 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
10549 idea. [CVE-2005-2969][]
10551 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
10552 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
10553 Science and Technology [AIST, Japan)]*
10555 * Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
10556 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
10560 * For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
10561 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
10562 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
10563 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
10568 * Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
10569 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
10570 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
10571 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
10572 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
10574 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
10575 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
10576 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
10577 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
10578 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
10579 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
10581 *Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller*
10583 * Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
10584 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
10585 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
10586 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
10587 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
10591 * Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
10596 * New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
10597 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
10598 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
10602 * Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
10603 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
10604 structures constant.
10608 ### Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
10610 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
10613 * Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
10614 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
10615 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
10616 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
10617 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
10618 some needed definitions.
10622 * Undo Cygwin change.
10626 * Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
10627 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
10628 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
10629 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
10633 ### Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
10635 * Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
10636 server and client random values. Previously
10637 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
10638 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
10640 This change has negligible security impact because:
10642 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
10645 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
10648 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
10649 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
10652 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
10655 *Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC*
10657 * Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
10661 * Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
10662 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
10664 *Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014*
10666 * Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
10670 * Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
10671 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
10675 * Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
10676 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
10678 *Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson*
10680 * Add new -passin argument to dgst.
10684 * Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
10685 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
10686 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
10691 * Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
10692 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
10693 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
10694 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
10696 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
10697 has chosen to ignore this fault)
10698 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
10699 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
10704 ### Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
10706 * Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
10707 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
10708 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
10709 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
10710 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
10714 * Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
10718 * Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
10720 *David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>*
10722 * Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
10723 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
10724 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
10725 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
10726 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
10727 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
10728 rather than being initialized to 1.
10732 ### Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
10734 * Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
10735 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool [CVE-2004-0079][]
10737 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
10739 * Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
10742 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
10744 * Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
10745 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
10746 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
10747 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
10748 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
10749 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
10753 * X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
10754 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
10755 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
10756 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
10757 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
10762 * When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
10763 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
10764 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
10765 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
10766 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
10770 * New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
10771 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
10772 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
10777 * Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
10779 *Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>*
10781 * Use the correct content when signing type "other".
10785 ### Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
10787 * Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
10789 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
10790 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
10792 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid [CVE-2003-0545][].
10794 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
10795 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
10799 * New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
10800 exiting on the first error in a request.
10804 * In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
10805 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
10810 * In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
10811 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
10812 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
10814 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe*
10816 * Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
10817 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
10821 * Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
10822 blocks during encryption.
10826 * Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
10827 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
10828 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
10829 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
10834 * Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
10835 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
10836 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
10837 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
10838 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
10843 ### Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
10845 * Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
10846 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
10847 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
10848 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
10852 * Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
10853 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
10854 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
10855 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
10857 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
10859 * Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
10860 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
10861 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
10862 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
10863 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
10864 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
10865 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
10866 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
10867 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
10871 * Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
10872 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
10873 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
10874 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
10878 * Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
10879 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
10883 ### Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
10885 * In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
10886 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
10887 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
10888 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
10889 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. [CVE-2003-0078][]
10891 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
10892 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
10893 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)*
10895 * Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
10896 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
10897 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
10898 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
10899 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
10901 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
10902 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
10903 used by default when no-err is given.
10907 * Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
10909 *dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454*
10911 * Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
10912 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
10913 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
10914 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
10916 *Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte*
10918 * Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
10919 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
10920 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
10921 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
10923 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
10925 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10927 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
10929 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
10930 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
10931 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
10932 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
10937 * Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
10939 *Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte*
10941 * Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
10942 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
10946 * DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
10947 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
10948 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
10949 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
10953 * Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
10954 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
10955 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
10956 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
10957 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
10958 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
10959 followup to PR #377.
10963 * IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
10964 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
10968 * Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
10969 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
10970 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
10972 *Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>*
10974 ### Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
10976 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
10979 * Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
10980 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
10981 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
10982 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
10984 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
10989 * Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
10990 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
10995 * The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
10996 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
10997 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
10998 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
10999 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
11000 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
11002 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
11003 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
11004 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
11005 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
11006 have to be made anyway).
11010 * In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
11011 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
11012 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
11016 * Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
11017 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
11018 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
11022 * Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
11023 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
11025 *Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte*
11027 * Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
11028 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
11029 edit numbers of the version.
11031 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte*
11033 * Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
11034 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
11036 *Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte*
11038 * Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
11040 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11042 * Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
11043 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
11045 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11047 * Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
11049 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11051 * Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
11053 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11055 * Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
11057 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11059 * Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
11061 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11063 * Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
11066 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11068 * Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
11069 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
11071 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11073 * Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
11074 representations in a platform independent manner.
11076 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11078 * Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
11079 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
11081 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11083 * Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
11086 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11088 * Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
11090 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11092 * buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
11095 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11097 * Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
11098 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
11100 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11102 * New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
11105 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11107 * Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
11109 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11111 * Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
11113 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11115 * Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
11117 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11119 * If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
11121 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11123 * Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
11126 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11128 * Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
11130 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11132 * Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
11134 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11136 * Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
11137 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
11140 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11142 * Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
11143 the 0.9.6 release series:
11145 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
11146 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
11149 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11151 * Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
11155 * Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
11157 *Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson*
11159 * The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
11161 *Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>*
11163 * Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
11164 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
11165 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
11167 *Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>*
11169 * Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
11170 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
11171 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
11173 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
11174 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
11175 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
11177 *Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller*
11179 * Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
11180 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
11181 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
11184 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
11185 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
11186 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
11187 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
11188 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
11189 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
11190 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
11191 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
11194 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
11195 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
11196 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
11200 * Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
11201 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
11202 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
11203 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
11205 *Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>*
11207 * Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
11209 *Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>*
11211 * Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
11212 error in AES-CFB decryption.
11216 * Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
11217 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
11218 calling `EVP_*Final()`. This behaviour is used by encryption
11219 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
11220 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
11221 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
11225 * Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
11226 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
11227 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
11231 * Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
11232 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
11236 * Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
11237 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
11238 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
11239 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
11240 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
11241 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
11242 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
11246 * Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
11247 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
11248 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
11249 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
11250 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
11251 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
11255 * Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
11256 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
11257 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
11258 declaration has been changed from
11261 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
11262 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
11263 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
11264 has been changed into
11265 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
11267 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
11268 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
11270 *D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>*
11272 * Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
11274 *Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe*
11276 * Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
11277 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
11278 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
11279 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
11280 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
11281 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
11282 always load it have also been added.
11286 * Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
11287 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
11289 *Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte*
11291 * Config modules support in openssl utility.
11293 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
11294 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
11295 because it couldn't be used for anything.
11297 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
11298 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
11299 command line option can be used to specify an
11304 * Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
11305 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
11309 * Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
11310 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
11311 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
11315 * Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
11316 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
11317 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
11318 to work with the new engine framework.
11320 *AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte*
11322 * Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
11323 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
11324 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
11325 to work with the new engine framework.
11329 * Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
11330 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
11332 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte*
11334 * Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
11336 *Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte*
11338 * Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
11339 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
11340 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
11341 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
11344 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
11346 * Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
11348 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
11350 * Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
11352 *Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>*
11354 * Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
11355 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
11356 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
11360 * Add new functions
11361 ERR_peek_last_error
11362 ERR_peek_last_error_line
11363 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
11364 These are similar to
11366 ERR_peek_error_line
11367 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
11368 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
11369 still in the error queue.
11371 *Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller*
11373 * default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
11375 default_algorithms = ALL
11376 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
11380 * Preliminary ENGINE config module.
11384 * New experimental application configuration code.
11388 * Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
11389 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
11390 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
11392 *Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte*
11394 * SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
11396 *Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt*
11398 * Add option to output public keys in req command.
11400 *Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org*
11402 * Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
11403 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
11407 * New functions/macros
11409 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
11410 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
11411 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
11412 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
11414 to request calling a callback function
11416 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
11417 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
11419 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
11420 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
11421 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
11422 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
11423 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
11424 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
11425 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
11426 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
11427 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
11428 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
11430 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
11431 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
11435 * Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
11436 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
11437 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
11438 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
11439 the configuration scripts.
11441 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
11442 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
11444 *"Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte*
11446 * Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
11448 *Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>*
11450 * Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
11451 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
11452 when reusing an existing buffer.
11456 * New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
11457 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
11461 * Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
11462 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
11466 * Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
11467 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
11468 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
11469 has the same effect.
11471 *Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org*
11473 * Change all functions with names starting with `des_` to be starting
11474 with `DES_` instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
11475 but are named `_ossl_old_des_*`. Finally, add macros that map the
11476 `des_*` symbols to the corresponding `_ossl_old_des_*` if libdes
11477 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
11478 desired, the `des_*` symbols will be mapped to `DES_*`, with one
11481 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
11482 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
11483 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
11484 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
11486 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
11487 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
11488 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
11489 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
11491 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
11492 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
11495 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
11496 authors are encouraged to switch to the `DES_` style functions. Some
11497 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
11498 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
11499 default), and then completely removed.
11503 * Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
11504 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
11505 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
11506 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
11507 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
11508 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
11509 particular extension is supported.
11513 * Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
11514 to retain compatibility with existing code.
11518 * Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
11519 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
11520 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
11521 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
11522 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
11523 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
11524 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
11525 requires the destination to be valid.
11527 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
11528 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
11532 * Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
11533 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
11534 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
11538 * Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
11540 *Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte*
11542 * Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
11543 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
11544 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
11545 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
11546 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
11547 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
11548 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
11549 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
11550 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
11551 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
11552 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
11553 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
11554 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
11555 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
11556 functions dealing with `BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT]` handlers have been removed -
11557 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
11558 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
11559 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
11560 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
11565 * Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
11569 * Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
11570 and make sure the automatically generated functions `ERR_load_*`
11571 become part of libeay.num as well.
11575 * New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
11576 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
11577 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
11578 false once a handshake has been completed.
11579 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
11580 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
11581 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
11582 client has followed the request.)
11586 * New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
11587 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
11588 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
11589 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
11591 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
11592 more bits available for options that should not be part of
11593 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
11597 * Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
11601 * Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
11602 settable (`SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()`), as proposed by
11603 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
11607 * Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
11608 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
11612 * Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
11613 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
11614 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
11615 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
11619 * Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
11620 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
11621 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
11622 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
11623 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
11624 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
11628 * Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
11629 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
11630 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
11631 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
11632 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
11633 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
11634 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
11635 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
11639 * Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
11640 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
11644 * Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
11648 * Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
11649 md_data void pointer.
11653 * Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
11654 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
11655 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
11656 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
11657 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
11658 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
11662 * As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
11663 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
11664 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
11665 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
11666 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
11667 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
11668 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
11669 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
11670 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
11671 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
11672 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
11673 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
11674 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
11675 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
11676 rather than letting it slide.
11678 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
11679 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
11680 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
11684 * Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
11685 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
11686 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
11687 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
11688 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
11689 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
11690 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
11691 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
11692 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
11696 * Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own `*_up_ref()` function to increment
11697 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
11698 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
11699 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
11700 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
11702 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
11706 * Add EVP test program.
11710 * Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
11714 * New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
11715 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
11716 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
11717 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
11718 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
11722 * Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
11723 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
11724 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
11725 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
11726 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
11727 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
11729 *Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke*
11731 * Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
11732 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
11733 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
11738 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
11739 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
11740 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
11741 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
11742 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
11746 * Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
11747 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
11748 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
11749 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
11752 des_key_schedule ks;
11754 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
11755 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
11757 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
11761 * Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
11762 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
11763 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
11764 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
11765 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
11766 functions prevents this.
11770 * Cleanup of EVP macros.
11774 * Change historical references to `{NID,SN,LN}_des_ede` and ede3 to add the
11775 correct `_ecb suffix`.
11779 * Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
11780 revocation information is handled using the text based index
11781 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
11782 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
11783 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
11787 * Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
11791 * Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
11792 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
11793 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
11794 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
11796 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
11797 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
11799 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
11800 *Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>, Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
11801 via Richard Levitte*
11803 * Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
11804 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
11805 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
11806 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
11810 * Speed up EVP routines.

11829 * Added the OS2-EMX target.
11831 *"Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte*
11833 * Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
11834 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
11835 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
11836 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
11837 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
11838 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
11842 * Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
11843 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
11847 * Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
11848 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
11849 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
11851 *Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson*
11853 * Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
11854 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
11855 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
11856 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
11857 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
11858 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
11863 * Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
11864 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
11865 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
11866 and interrupts/cancellations.
11870 * Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
11871 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
11875 * Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
11876 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
11878 *Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>*
11880 * Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
11881 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
11886 * Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
11887 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
11888 than this minimum value is recommended.
11892 * New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
11893 that are easily reachable.
11897 * Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
11898 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
11900 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
11902 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
11903 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
11904 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
11905 needed for static libraries under Win32.
11909 * New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
11910 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
11911 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
11915 * Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
11916 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
11917 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
11918 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
11919 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
11920 internally such as S/MIME.
11922 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
11923 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
11924 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
11926 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
11931 * Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
11932 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
11933 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
11934 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
11936 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
11938 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
11940 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
11941 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
11942 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
11947 * Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
11948 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
11949 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
11950 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
11951 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
11952 a window system and the like.
11956 * Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
11957 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
11961 * Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
11962 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
11963 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
11964 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
11965 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
11966 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
11967 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
11968 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
11969 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
11974 * Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
11975 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
11980 * Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
11981 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
11982 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
11983 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
11984 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
11985 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
11986 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
11987 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
11991 * New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
11992 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
11993 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
11994 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
11995 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
11996 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
11997 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
11998 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
11999 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
12000 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
12001 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
12002 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
12003 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
12004 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
12005 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
12006 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
12007 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
12011 * Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
12012 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
12013 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
12014 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
12015 internal engine_int.h header.
12019 * Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
12020 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
12021 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
12022 modify their own ones).
12026 * Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
12027 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
12028 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
12029 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
12030 later on via ctrl() commands.
12031 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
12032 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
12033 structural references.
12034 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
12035 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
12036 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
12037 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
12038 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
12039 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
12040 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
12041 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
12042 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
12043 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
12044 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
12045 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
12049 * Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
12050 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
12051 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
12052 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
12053 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
12054 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
12055 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
12056 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
12060 * Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
12061 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
12065 * Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
12066 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
12070 * Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
12071 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
12072 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
12073 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
12074 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
12075 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
12076 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
12080 * Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
12081 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
12082 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
12083 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
12084 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
12086 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
12087 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
12092 * First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
12094 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
12095 operations and provides various method functions that can also
12096 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
12098 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
12099 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
12101 *Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
12102 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
12103 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>*
12105 * Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
12106 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
12108 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
12109 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
12111 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
12113 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
12114 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
12115 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
12119 * Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
12120 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
12124 * Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
12125 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
12126 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
12127 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
12128 is 40 of more characters long.
12132 * Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
12133 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
12138 * Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
12139 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
12143 * Modify `EVP_Digest*()` routines so they now return values. Although the
12144 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
12149 * Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
12151 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
12152 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
12155 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
12157 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
12158 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
12159 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
12161 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
12162 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
12164 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
12168 * Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
12173 * New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
12174 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
12175 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
12176 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
12178 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
12180 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
12182 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>*
12184 * Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
12185 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
12186 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
12187 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
12188 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
12189 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
12191 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
12192 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
12194 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
12195 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
12197 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
12198 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
12200 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
12201 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
12202 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
12203 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
12205 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
12206 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
12208 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
12209 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
12211 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
12212 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
12213 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
12214 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
12215 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
12219 * In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
12220 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
12221 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
12222 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
12226 * Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
12227 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
12228 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
12233 * Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
12234 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
12235 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
12236 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
12237 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
12238 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
12239 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
12240 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
12245 * If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
12246 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
12250 * Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
12251 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
12252 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
12253 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
12257 * New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
12258 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
12259 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
12260 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
12261 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
12262 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
12263 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
12264 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
12265 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
12266 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
12270 * Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
12271 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
12272 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
12273 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
12274 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
12275 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
12276 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
12278 *Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke*
12280 * Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
12281 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
12282 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
12283 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
12287 * Make all configuration macros available for application by making
12288 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
12289 with `OPENSSL_` to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
12290 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
12292 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
12293 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
12294 are prefixed with `OPENSSL_SYSNAME_`. e_os2.h will create another
12295 macro with the name beginning with `OPENSSL_SYS_`, which is determined
12296 from `OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*` or compiler-specific macros depending on
12301 * New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
12302 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
12303 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
12304 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
12309 * New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
12310 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
12311 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
12315 * New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
12316 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
12317 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
12318 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
12319 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
12323 * Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
12327 * New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
12328 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
12329 option to ocsp utility.
12333 * New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
12334 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
12335 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
12336 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
12337 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
12338 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
12339 the request is nonce-less.
12343 * Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
12344 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
12345 e.g. `(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs`.
12349 * Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
12350 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
12351 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
12355 * New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
12356 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
12357 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
12358 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
12359 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
12363 * Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
12364 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
12369 * Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
12370 additional certificates supplied.
12374 * Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
12375 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
12380 * Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
12381 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
12384 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
12385 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
12386 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
12387 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
12388 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
12389 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
12390 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
12391 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
12393 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
12395 * New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
12396 request to response.
12400 * Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
12401 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
12402 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
12403 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
12404 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
12405 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
12406 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
12407 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
12408 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
12409 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
12410 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
12414 * Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
12415 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
12416 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
12417 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
12421 * Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
12423 *Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
12425 * New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
12426 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
12427 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
12431 * In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
12432 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
12433 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
12434 *Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
12435 <support@securenetterm.com>*
12437 * Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
12438 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
12439 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
12443 * Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
12444 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
12445 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
12446 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
12447 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
12448 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
12449 *Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
12450 <support@securenetterm.com>*
12452 * Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
12453 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
12454 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
12455 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
12456 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
12457 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
12461 * Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
12462 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
12463 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
12464 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
12465 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
12466 printout format cleaned up.
12470 * Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
12471 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
12472 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
12473 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
12474 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
12475 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
12476 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
12477 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
12481 * Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
12482 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
12483 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
12484 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
12485 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
12486 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
12487 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
12488 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
12492 * New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
12493 extensions from a separate configuration file.
12494 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
12495 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
12498 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
12500 * New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
12501 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
12502 parsed, outputted or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
12503 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
12507 * New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
12508 `openssl ca -status <serial>` prints the status of the cert with
12509 the given serial number (according to the index file).
12510 `openssl ca -updatedb` updates the expiry status of certificates
12513 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
12515 * New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
12516 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
12517 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
12519 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>*
12521 * New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
12523 *Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte*
12525 * Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
12526 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
12527 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
12531 * New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
12532 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
12533 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
12537 * Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
12538 file name and line number information in additional arguments
12539 (a `const char*` and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
12540 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
12541 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
12542 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
12543 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
12544 functions are provided:
12546 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
12547 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
12548 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
12549 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
12551 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
12552 `CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions` now writes 0 where such an
12553 extended allocation function is enabled.
12554 Similarly, `CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions` writes 0 where
12555 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
12557 *Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller*
12559 * Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
12560 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
12561 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
12562 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
12563 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
12567 * Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
12568 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
12569 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
12571 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
12572 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
12573 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
12577 * Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
12578 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
12579 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
12580 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
12581 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
12582 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
12583 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
12584 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
12585 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
12589 * Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
12590 provide utility functions which an application needing
12591 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
12592 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
12593 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
12595 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
12596 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
12597 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
12598 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
12599 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
12600 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
12601 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
12602 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
12603 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
12605 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
12606 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
12607 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
12608 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
12612 * Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
12613 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
12614 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
12615 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
12616 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
12617 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
12618 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
12619 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
12620 will be added elsewhere.
12624 * Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
12625 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
12626 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
12627 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
12631 * Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
12632 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
12633 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
12634 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
12635 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
12636 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
12637 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
12638 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
12639 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
12640 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
12641 to produce the required SET OF.
12645 * Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
12646 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
12647 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
12651 * Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
12652 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
12653 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
12654 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
12655 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
12656 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
12660 * New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
12661 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
12662 the `*_d2i_bio()` and `*_d2i_fp()` functions to use these.
12666 * Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
12667 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
12668 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
12672 * New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
12673 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
12674 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
12675 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
12676 code will still work when these eventually go away.
12680 * New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
12681 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
12685 * New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
12686 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
12687 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
12688 certificates and CRLs.
12692 * Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
12693 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
12694 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
12698 * Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
12699 entries for variables.
12703 * Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
12704 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
12705 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
12706 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
12710 * Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
12711 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
12712 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
12713 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
12714 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
12715 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
12719 * Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
12721 *Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe*
12723 * Move common extension printing code to new function
12724 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
12725 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
12729 * New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
12734 * Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
12735 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
12736 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
12737 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
12738 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
12739 order did not reflect the encoded order.
12743 * Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
12747 * Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
12748 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
12749 for now but they will eventually go away.
12753 * Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
12754 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
12755 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
12756 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
12757 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
12758 has also been converted to the new form.
12762 * Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
12763 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
12764 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
12765 for negative moduli.
12769 * Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
12770 of not touching the result's sign bit.
12774 * BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
12779 * Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
12780 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
12781 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
12782 type-specific callbacks.
12786 * Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
12788 *Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
12789 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte*
12791 * Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
12792 in sections depending on the subject.
12796 * Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
12801 * New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
12802 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
12803 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
12804 be handled deterministically).
12806 *Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller*
12808 * Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
12809 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
12810 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
12814 * New function BN_kronecker.
12818 * Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
12819 positive unless both parameters are zero.
12820 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
12821 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
12822 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
12826 * Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
12827 sign of the number in question.
12829 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
12831 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
12832 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
12833 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
12834 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
12835 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
12839 * New function BN_swap.
12843 * Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
12844 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
12845 results on negative inputs.
12849 * Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
12850 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
12851 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
12855 * Move `BN_mod_...` functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
12856 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
12857 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
12858 and add new functions:
12867 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
12869 BN_mod_lshift_quick
12871 These functions always generate non-negative results.
12873 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
12874 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
12876 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
12877 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
12878 be reduced modulo m.
12880 *Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller*
12883 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
12884 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
12885 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
12887 * Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
12888 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
12889 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
12890 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
12891 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
12892 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
12898 * In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
12899 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
12900 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
12901 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
12902 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
12904 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
12905 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
12906 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
12907 cause any problems.
12911 * Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
12915 * Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
12916 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
12920 * Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
12921 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
12922 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
12923 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
12928 * Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
12932 * Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
12936 * Add the following functions:
12938 ENGINE_load_cswift()
12940 ENGINE_load_atalla()
12941 ENGINE_load_nuron()
12942 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
12944 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
12945 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
12946 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
12947 libraries unless it's really needed.
12949 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
12950 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
12951 declarations (they differed!).
12955 * 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
12959 * Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
12963 * Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
12967 * Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
12968 identity, and test if they are actually available.
12972 * Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
12973 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
12975 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>*
12977 * Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
12978 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
12982 * Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
12986 * Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
12990 * Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
12994 * Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
12995 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
12997 *Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte*
12999 * Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
13000 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
13001 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
13002 different shared library filenames on each system.
13006 * Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
13010 * Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
13011 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
13012 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
13015 *Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson*
13018 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
13019 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (`_e` for "error checking") and is
13020 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
13021 binary backward compatibility.
13022 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
13023 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
13024 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
13029 * Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
13030 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
13031 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
13032 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
13037 * Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
13041 * Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
13042 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
13043 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
13044 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
13049 * Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
13053 ### Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
13055 * Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
13056 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool [CVE-2004-0079][]
13058 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
13060 ### Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
13062 * Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
13064 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
13065 certain ASN.1 tags [CVE-2003-0851][]
13069 ### Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
13071 * Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
13073 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
13074 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
13076 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
13077 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
13081 * In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
13082 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
13087 * In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
13088 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
13089 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
13091 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe*
13093 * Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
13094 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
13098 ### Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
13100 * Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
13101 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
13102 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
13103 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
13107 * Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
13108 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
13109 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
13110 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
13112 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
13114 * Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
13115 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
13116 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
13117 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
13118 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
13119 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
13120 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
13121 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
13122 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
13126 ### Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
13128 * In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
13129 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
13130 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
13131 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
13132 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. [CVE-2003-0078][]
13134 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
13135 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
13136 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)*
13138 ### Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
13140 * New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
13141 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
13142 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
13143 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
13144 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
13145 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
13149 * Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
13150 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
13151 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
13152 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
13153 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
13157 * Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
13158 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
13160 *Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>*
13162 * Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
13163 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
13164 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
13169 * Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
13170 being properly terminated.
13174 * Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
13175 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
13176 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
13178 *stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte*
13180 * Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
13181 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
13182 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
13183 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
13184 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
13185 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
13186 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
13189 *Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El*
13191 * Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
13192 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
13196 * Fix initialization code race conditions in
13197 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
13198 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
13199 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
13200 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
13201 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
13202 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
13204 *Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller*
13206 * Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
13207 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
13208 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
13209 (see [openssl.org #212]).
13211 *Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke*
13213 * Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
13214 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
13218 ### Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
13220 * [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
13221 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use `_stdcall`).
13223 *Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>*
13225 ### Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
13227 * Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
13228 and get fix the header length calculation.
13229 *Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
13230 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others), Steve Henson*
13232 * Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
13233 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
13234 assertions could call abort()).
13236 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller*
13238 ### Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
13240 * Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
13241 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
13242 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
13245 *Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>*
13247 * Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
13248 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
13249 by the selection routines (PR #130).
13253 * Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
13258 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
13259 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
13260 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
13262 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
13263 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
13264 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
13265 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
13266 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
13271 * Changes in security patch:
13273 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
13274 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
13275 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
13278 * Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
13279 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
13280 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
13281 supplied buffer. [CVE-2002-0659][]
13283 *Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>*
13285 * Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
13286 happen in practice.
13288 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
13290 * Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
13291 too small for 64 bit platforms. [CVE-2002-0655][]
13292 *Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>*
13294 * Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
13295 supply an oversized session ID to a client. [CVE-2002-0656][]
13297 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
13299 * Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
13300 supply an oversized client master key. [CVE-2002-0656][]
13302 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
13304 ### Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
13306 * Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
13307 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
13309 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller*
13311 * Check various `X509_...()` return values in apps/req.c.
13313 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
13315 * Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
13316 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
13317 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
13318 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
13319 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
13320 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
13324 * Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
13325 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
13326 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
13327 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
13331 * Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
13335 * TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
13336 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
13337 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
13338 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
13339 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
13341 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
13343 * Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
13344 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
13345 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
13346 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
13347 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
13351 * Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
13352 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
13353 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
13354 BN_generate_prime().)
13356 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
13357 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
13358 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
13363 * Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
13364 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
13368 * Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
13369 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
13370 when using non-blocking I/O.
13372 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes*
13374 * Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
13376 *Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke*
13378 * Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
13379 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
13383 * Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
13384 configuration for the versions before that.
13386 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte*
13388 * Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
13389 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
13390 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
13391 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
13395 * Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
13396 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
13397 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
13401 * Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
13406 * [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
13407 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
13409 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
13411 * Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
13413 *Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte*
13415 * The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
13416 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
13417 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
13418 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
13419 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
13420 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
13421 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
13424 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
13425 using a local variable.
13427 *Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller*
13429 * Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
13430 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
13432 *Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
13434 * New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
13438 * Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
13440 *"Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>*
13442 * Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
13443 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
13445 *D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>*
13447 ### Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
13449 * Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
13450 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
13451 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = `10..._2` and
13452 `3*range` is two bits longer than range.)
13456 * Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
13461 * Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
13462 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
13463 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
13464 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
13466 *Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller*
13468 * Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
13469 returns early because it has nothing to do.
13471 *Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
13473 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
13474 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
13476 *Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
13478 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
13479 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
13480 (Use engine 'keyclient')
13482 *Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe*
13484 * Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
13485 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
13486 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
13489 *Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>*
13491 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
13492 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
13495 *Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox*
13497 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
13498 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
13499 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
13501 *Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox*
13503 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
13504 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
13505 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
13507 *AEP Inc. and Mark Cox*
13509 * Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
13511 *Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>*
13513 * Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
13514 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
13515 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
13519 * Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
13520 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
13521 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
13523 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>*
13525 * Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
13526 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
13527 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
13528 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
13529 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
13530 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
13531 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
13535 * Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
13536 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
13537 one of the SSL handshake functions.
13539 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric*
13541 * In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
13542 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
13543 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
13544 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
13545 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
13546 the client will at least see that alert.
13550 * Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
13555 * Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
13556 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
13558 *Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
13560 * Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
13561 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
13562 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
13563 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
13566 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
13567 before just sending a HelloRequest.
13569 *Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>*
13571 * Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
13572 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
13573 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
13574 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
13575 may leak via logfiles.)
13577 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
13578 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
13579 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
13580 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
13585 * Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
13586 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
13590 * Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
13591 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
13592 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
13593 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
13594 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
13598 * BN_sqr() bug fix.
13600 *Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>*
13602 * Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
13603 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
13604 followed by modular reduction.
13606 *Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>*
13608 * Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
13609 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
13613 * s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
13614 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
13615 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
13616 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
13620 * Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to `SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]()`.
13624 * Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
13625 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
13629 * Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
13630 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
13631 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
13632 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
13633 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
13634 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
13637 *Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte*
13639 * In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
13640 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
13641 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
13642 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
13644 *Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>*
13646 * Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
13650 * Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
13651 specifically for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
13652 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
13653 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
13654 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
13655 to allow the necessary settings.
13659 * Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
13660 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
13661 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
13662 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
13666 * In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
13667 dh->length and always used
13669 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
13671 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
13672 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
13673 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
13674 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
13675 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
13680 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
13682 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
13689 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
13690 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
13691 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
13692 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
13694 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
13695 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
13696 always reject numbers >= n.
13700 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
13701 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
13702 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
13703 variable) is not atomic.
13707 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
13708 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
13709 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
13711 *Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>*
13713 * Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
13715 *Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>*
13717 * Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
13718 little-endian MIPS.
13720 *Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>*
13722 * Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
13726 ### Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
13728 * Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
13729 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
13730 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
13731 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
13732 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
13733 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
13734 to traverse all of 'state'.
13736 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
13737 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
13738 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
13740 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
13741 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
13743 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
13744 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
13745 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
13746 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
13747 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
13748 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
13749 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
13750 further strengthens the PRNG.
13754 * Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
13758 * When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
13759 an error message in this case.
13763 * Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
13767 * In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
13768 positive and less than q.
13772 * Don't change `*pointer` in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
13773 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
13776 *Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>*
13778 * Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
13779 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
13785 *Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller*
13787 * The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
13788 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
13789 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
13790 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
13791 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
13792 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
13793 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
13796 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
13797 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
13798 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
13799 detect the supposedly ignored error.
13801 Both problems are now fixed.
13805 * In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
13806 (previously it was 1024).
13810 * Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
13811 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
13815 * Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
13819 * Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
13820 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
13821 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
13825 * In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
13826 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
13827 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
13828 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
13829 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
13830 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
13831 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
13832 environment variables.
13834 * Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
13835 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
13836 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
13840 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
13841 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
13842 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
13843 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
13844 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
13845 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
13849 * Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
13850 versions of 'test'.
13854 ### Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
13856 * Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
13858 *Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>*
13860 * Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
13861 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
13862 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
13863 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
13868 * Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
13869 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
13870 amount of data available.
13872 *Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org*
13874 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
13876 * Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
13877 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
13878 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
13879 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
13883 * Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
13884 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
13889 * Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
13890 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
13891 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
13892 <http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz>).
13896 * MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
13900 * Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
13904 * Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
13905 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
13909 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
13911 * Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
13912 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
13913 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
13914 (but broken) behaviour.
13918 * Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
13921 *Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte*
13923 * Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
13924 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
13928 * Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
13933 * Replace rdtsc with `_emit` statements for VC++ version 5.
13935 *Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>*
13937 * Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
13941 * In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
13942 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
13944 *Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>*
13946 * Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
13947 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
13948 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
13952 * Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
13953 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
13957 * Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
13958 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
13960 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
13962 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
13964 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
13965 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
13966 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
13967 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
13971 * Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
13975 * Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
13976 *Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
13977 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>*
13979 * Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
13984 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
13986 * Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
13987 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
13988 but the code is actually correct.
13992 * Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
13993 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
13994 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
13995 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
13996 and leaves the highest bit random.
13998 *Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller*
14000 * In the `NCONF_...`-based implementations for `CONF_...` queries
14001 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
14002 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
14003 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
14004 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
14005 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
14006 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
14010 * Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
14014 * Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
14015 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
14019 * Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
14020 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
14021 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
14022 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
14027 * Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
14028 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
14029 and break the signature.
14033 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
14035 * Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
14040 * Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
14041 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
14042 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
14043 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
14044 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
14048 * Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
14050 *"Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>*
14052 * ./config script fixes.
14054 *Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte*
14056 * Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
14060 * Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
14061 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
14062 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
14063 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
14065 *Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>*
14067 * Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
14068 call failed, free the DSA structure.
14072 * Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
14073 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
14077 * Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
14078 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
14079 when writing a 32767 byte record.
14081 *Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>*
14083 * In `RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt` and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
14084 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting `rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}`.
14086 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
14087 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
14088 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
14089 *Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
14090 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>*
14092 * Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
14096 * Use better test patterns in bntest.
14100 * rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
14104 * BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
14108 * Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
14109 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
14113 * Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
14114 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
14115 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
14116 result of the server certificate verification.)
14120 * Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
14121 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
14122 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
14127 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
14128 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
14129 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
14130 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
14131 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
14132 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
14133 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
14134 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
14138 * Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
14139 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
14140 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
14141 happening the other way round.
14145 * Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
14146 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
14150 * Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
14151 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
14152 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
14153 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
14157 * Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
14159 *Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>*
14161 * Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
14163 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
14164 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
14165 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
14168 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
14170 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
14172 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
14177 * Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
14179 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
14180 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
14181 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
14182 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
14184 *Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>*
14186 * Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
14187 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
14192 * Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
14196 ### Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
14198 * In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
14199 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
14200 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
14201 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
14202 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
14203 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
14204 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
14205 by the Finished messages.
14209 * More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
14211 *Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>*
14213 * For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
14214 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
14215 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
14216 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
14217 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
14222 * Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
14223 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
14224 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
14225 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
14226 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
14227 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
14228 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
14229 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
14230 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
14235 * On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
14236 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
14237 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
14238 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
14240 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
14241 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
14242 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
14243 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
14244 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
14247 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
14248 been tested well enough.
14252 * Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
14253 it can return incorrect results.
14254 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
14255 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
14259 * Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
14260 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
14261 include zero length content when signing messages.
14265 * New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
14266 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
14270 * Add DSO method for VMS.
14274 * Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
14279 * Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
14280 packages. The default package contains applications, application
14281 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
14282 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
14283 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
14284 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
14288 * Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
14290 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>*
14292 * Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
14294 *NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>*
14296 * Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
14297 random number < q in the DSA library.
14301 * New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
14302 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
14303 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
14304 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
14305 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
14306 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
14307 just makes things more complicated.)
14311 * Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
14316 * Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req` and `x509`
14317 work better on such systems.
14319 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
14321 * Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
14322 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
14323 keyid to the certificates aux info.
14327 * Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
14328 if there was more than one signature.
14330 *Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>*
14332 * Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
14333 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
14334 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
14335 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
14339 * Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
14340 rather than always using the current time.
14344 * Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
14345 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
14346 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
14347 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
14348 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
14349 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
14351 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
14352 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
14354 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
14356 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
14357 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
14358 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
14359 the same hash value.
14361 As a result various functions (which were all internal
14362 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
14363 structure. This will break anything that messed round
14364 with X509_STORE internally.
14366 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
14367 exact match, rather than just subject name.
14369 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
14370 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
14371 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
14372 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
14373 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
14374 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
14375 entirely (maybe later...).
14377 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
14379 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
14380 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
14381 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
14382 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
14383 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
14384 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
14385 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
14386 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
14388 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
14389 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
14391 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
14392 to customise the verify behaviour.
14396 * Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
14397 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
14401 * When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
14402 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
14403 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
14404 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
14405 request is improperly encoded.
14409 * For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
14410 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
14413 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
14415 *Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr*
14417 * Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
14418 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
14419 words set to zero.)
14423 * Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
14424 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
14425 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
14429 * New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
14430 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
14431 BIO/fp routines also added.
14435 * New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
14437 *Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>*
14439 * A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
14440 Nuron (<http://www.nuron.com/>) and is now available in
14441 demos/state_machine.
14445 * New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
14446 generation and verification.
14450 * Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
14451 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
14452 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
14453 encode and decode it manually.
14457 * Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
14458 compile under VC++.
14460 *Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>*
14462 * ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
14463 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
14464 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
14466 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>*
14468 * Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
14469 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
14470 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
14471 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
14472 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
14476 * Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
14480 * Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
14481 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
14482 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
14484 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
14485 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
14486 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
14487 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
14488 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
14489 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
14490 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
14491 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
14493 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
14494 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
14496 On Win32, the `LOG_*` levels are mapped according to this:
14498 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
14499 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
14500 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
14504 * Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
14505 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
14506 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
14507 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
14513 *Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte*
14515 * Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
14519 * The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
14520 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
14521 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
14522 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
14523 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
14524 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
14525 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
14526 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
14527 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
14528 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
14529 short or long names are found.
14533 * Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
14535 *Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>*
14537 * Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
14538 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
14539 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
14540 version rollback attacks was not effective.
14542 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
14543 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
14544 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
14545 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
14549 * Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
14550 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
14551 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
14555 * New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
14556 these print out strings and name structures based on various
14557 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
14558 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
14559 to allow the various flags to be set.
14563 * Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
14564 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
14565 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
14566 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
14567 dates to be checked.
14571 * Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
14572 negative public key encodings) on by default,
14573 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
14577 * New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
14578 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
14579 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
14583 * crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (`CRYPTO_w_[un]lock`),
14584 not read locks (`CRYPTO_r_[un]lock`).
14588 * A first attempt at creating official support for shared
14589 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
14590 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
14591 are always statically linked for now, but there are
14592 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
14593 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
14597 * Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
14598 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
14603 * Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
14608 * New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
14609 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
14610 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
14611 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
14612 form signing output easier to verify.
14616 * Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
14620 * New ASN1 functions, `i2c_*` and `c2i_*` for INTEGER and BIT
14621 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
14622 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
14623 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
14624 are needed because all other string types have virtually
14625 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
14626 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
14627 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
14628 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
14629 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
14633 * Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
14635 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
14636 the syntax given in objects.README.
14637 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
14639 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
14642 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
14643 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
14644 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
14645 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
14646 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
14647 consistent name changes.
14651 * Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
14655 * Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
14656 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
14657 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
14658 environment variable, or the default random state file.
14662 * mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
14663 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
14664 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
14669 * Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
14670 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
14671 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
14672 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
14676 * Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
14677 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
14678 a "stack macro" of the form `SKM_<name>(type, a, b)`. The
14679 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
14680 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
14681 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
14682 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
14683 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
14684 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
14685 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
14686 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
14690 * When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
14691 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
14692 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
14693 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
14694 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
14695 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
14696 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
14697 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
14698 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
14699 algorithm to openssl-dev.
14703 * The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
14704 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
14705 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
14707 *Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>*
14709 * New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
14710 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
14711 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
14712 omit any duplicate addresses.
14716 * Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
14717 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
14721 * Increase maximum window size in `BN_mod_exp_...` to 6 bits instead of 5
14722 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
14723 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
14724 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
14725 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
14729 * Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
14731 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
14732 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
14733 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
14734 Free => OPENSSL_free
14738 * New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
14739 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
14743 * CygWin32 support.
14745 *John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>*
14747 * The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
14748 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
14749 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
14750 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
14751 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
14756 * The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
14757 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
14758 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
14759 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
14760 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
14761 lots of the code, especially `_cmp` operations which should normally
14762 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
14766 * When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
14767 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
14768 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
14769 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
14770 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
14771 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
14772 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
14773 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
14774 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
14775 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
14776 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
14780 * In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
14781 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
14782 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
14783 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
14785 *Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke*
14787 * Major EVP API cipher revision.
14788 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
14789 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
14790 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
14791 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
14793 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
14796 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
14797 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
14798 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
14799 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
14801 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
14803 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
14806 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
14807 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
14808 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
14811 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
14812 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
14813 any installed hardware versions can.
14817 * Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
14818 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
14819 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
14824 * Call dh_tmp_cb (set by `..._TMP_DH_CB`) with correct 'is_export' flag;
14825 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
14826 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
14827 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
14829 *Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra*
14831 * Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
14832 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
14836 * Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
14837 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
14841 * Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
14842 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
14843 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
14848 * Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
14852 * Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
14853 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
14854 but no ssl client purpose.
14856 *Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>*
14858 * Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
14859 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
14860 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
14861 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
14862 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
14863 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
14864 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
14865 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
14866 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
14867 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
14868 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
14872 * Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
14873 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
14874 be obtained from the error queue.
14878 * Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
14879 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
14880 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
14881 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
14885 * Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
14889 * RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
14890 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
14891 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
14892 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
14893 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
14897 * Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
14898 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
14899 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
14900 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
14901 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
14905 * New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
14906 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
14907 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
14910 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller*
14912 * CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
14913 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
14914 new functions (`NCONF_*`, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
14915 old `CONF_*` functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
14916 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
14917 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
14918 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
14919 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
14920 configuration file in XML format, for example), called `_CONF_*`,
14921 or "the configuration storage API"...
14923 The new configuration file reading functions are:
14925 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
14926 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
14928 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
14930 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
14932 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
14933 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
14934 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
14935 `NCONF_dump_*` dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
14936 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
14937 arguments as the old `CONF_*` functions with the exception of the
14938 first that must be a `CONF *` instead of a `LHASH *`.
14940 To make it easier to use the new classes with the old `CONF_*` functions,
14941 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
14945 * Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
14946 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
14947 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
14948 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
14952 * Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
14953 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
14954 them in a portable way.
14956 *Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte*
14958 ### Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
14960 * Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
14962 * Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
14963 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
14965 * Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
14966 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
14967 *Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
14968 <attili@amaxo.com>*
14970 * Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
14971 was larger than the MD block size.
14973 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>*
14975 * Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
14976 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
14977 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
14978 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
14983 * des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
14984 *Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
14985 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>*
14987 * Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
14990 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>*
14992 * For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
14993 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
14994 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
14995 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
14996 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
14997 Additional arguments are always ignored.
14999 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
15000 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
15002 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
15003 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
15007 * Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
15011 * For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
15012 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
15014 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
15015 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
15016 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
15017 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
15021 * New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
15022 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
15023 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
15024 does not suppress any output.
15028 * Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
15029 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
15030 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
15031 with all the associated security issues.
15033 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
15034 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
15035 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
15036 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
15037 use the value in the default purpose.
15041 * Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
15042 and fix a memory leak.
15046 * In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
15047 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
15048 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
15049 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
15053 * In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
15054 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
15055 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
15056 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
15060 * Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
15061 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
15062 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
15066 * Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
15067 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
15071 * The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
15072 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
15077 * In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
15078 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
15082 * Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
15083 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
15084 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
15088 * Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
15089 number generation fails.
15093 * New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
15097 * Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
15099 *Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>*
15101 * Assembler module support for Mingw32.
15105 * Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
15107 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous*
15109 * Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
15111 *Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>*
15113 ### Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
15115 * PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
15116 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
15120 * In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
15122 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>*
15124 * BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
15125 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
15129 * Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
15130 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
15131 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
15132 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
15133 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
15135 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>*
15137 * Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
15138 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
15139 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
15144 * Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
15145 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
15146 and has to call `..._free`; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
15147 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
15148 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
15149 counter, some don't.)
15150 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
15151 counters or duplicate objects.
15155 * Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
15156 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
15160 * Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
15161 *Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
15162 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>*
15164 * Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
15165 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
15166 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
15171 * Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
15172 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
15176 * Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
15177 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
15178 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
15183 * Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
15184 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
15185 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
15189 * `..._ctrl` functions now have corresponding `..._callback_ctrl` functions
15190 where the `void *` argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
15191 Previously `void *` was abused to point to functions, which works on
15192 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
15193 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
15194 should work without changes.
15198 * `<openssl/opensslconf.h>` (which is created by Configure) now contains
15199 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
15200 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
15201 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol `OPENSSL_..._DEFINES`
15202 must be defined. E.g.,
15203 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
15204 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
15205 defines all pertinent `NO_<algo>` symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
15207 *Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller*
15209 * Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
15214 * Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
15215 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
15216 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
15220 * Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
15221 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
15222 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
15223 request header lines. Some software needs this.
15227 * Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
15228 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
15229 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
15230 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
15231 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
15232 is prompted for as usual.
15236 * Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
15237 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
15238 autodetect the card and use it if present.
15240 *Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.*
15242 * Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
15243 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
15244 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
15245 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
15249 * HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
15253 * Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
15258 * New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
15262 * Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
15266 * Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
15271 * More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
15275 * ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
15279 * Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
15280 equal (it gave wrong results if `(rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0)`.
15284 * Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
15285 options to produce them.
15289 * New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
15290 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
15294 * Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
15299 * Change the `SSLeay_add_all_*()` functions to `OpenSSL_add_all_*()` and
15300 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
15301 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
15302 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
15303 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
15304 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
15305 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
15309 * Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
15313 * Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
15314 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
15315 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
15319 * Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
15321 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>*
15323 * Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
15324 use `void *` instead of `char *` in lhash.
15328 * Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
15329 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
15330 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
15335 * Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
15336 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
15338 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
15339 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
15340 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
15341 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
15342 generation becomes much faster.
15344 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
15345 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
15346 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
15347 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
15348 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
15349 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
15350 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
15351 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
15352 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
15353 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
15357 * New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
15358 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
15359 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
15360 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
15361 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
15362 trial division stage.
15366 * Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
15371 * New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
15375 * New function BN_pseudo_rand().
15379 * Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
15380 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
15381 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
15386 * Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
15387 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
15388 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
15392 * The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
15393 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
15394 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
15396 *Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller*
15398 * Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
15399 used `char *` instead of `void *` and had casts all over the place.
15403 * Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
15407 * Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
15408 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
15409 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
15410 Rabin-Miller iterations.
15414 * Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
15415 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
15416 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
15420 * Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
15421 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
15422 (instead of parameters) in future.
15426 * Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
15427 when a new cipher list is set.
15431 * Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
15432 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
15435 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
15436 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
15437 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
15439 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
15440 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
15441 *A-Za-z0-9*, ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
15442 an error is flagged.
15444 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
15445 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
15446 the readability was also increased :-)
15448 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>*
15450 * Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
15451 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
15452 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
15453 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
15458 * Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
15459 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
15463 * Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
15464 `X509_*()` to `X509at_*()` on the grounds that they don't handle X509
15465 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
15466 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
15469 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
15470 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
15471 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
15472 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
15473 because they handle more complex structures.)
15477 * Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
15478 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
15479 NO_RSA in `ssl/s2*.c`.
15481 *Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller*
15483 * Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
15484 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
15485 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
15486 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
15487 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
15488 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
15489 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
15493 * Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
15494 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
15495 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
15496 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
15497 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
15501 * Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
15505 * New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
15506 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
15507 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
15508 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
15509 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
15512 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
15517 * Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
15518 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
15519 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
15520 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
15524 * Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
15528 * Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
15529 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
15530 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
15531 international characters are used.
15533 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
15534 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
15535 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
15540 * Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
15541 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
15542 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
15545 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
15546 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
15547 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
15548 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
15549 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
15550 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
15552 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
15553 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
15554 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
15555 be handled by the string table functions.
15557 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
15558 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
15559 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
15560 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
15561 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
15566 * Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
15567 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
15568 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
15569 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
15570 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
15572 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
15573 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
15574 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
15575 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
15579 * Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
15580 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
15581 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
15582 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
15583 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
15588 * Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
15589 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
15590 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
15591 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
15592 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
15593 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
15594 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
15595 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
15597 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
15598 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
15599 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
15603 * Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
15604 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
15605 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
15606 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
15607 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
15608 support to pkcs8 application.
15612 * SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
15613 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
15614 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
15615 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
15616 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
15617 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
15621 * In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
15622 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
15623 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
15624 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
15625 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
15630 * Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
15631 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
15632 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
15633 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
15638 * Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
15639 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
15640 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
15641 and any application specific purposes.
15643 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
15644 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
15645 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
15646 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
15647 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
15648 if the certificate is self signed.
15652 * Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
15653 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
15657 * Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
15658 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
15659 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
15660 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
15664 * Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
15665 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
15666 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
15667 Update documentation.
15671 * Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
15672 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
15673 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
15674 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
15675 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
15679 * Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
15682 *Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>*
15684 * Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
15685 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
15686 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
15687 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
15688 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
15689 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
15690 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
15691 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
15692 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
15693 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
15695 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
15697 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
15698 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
15699 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
15700 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
15701 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
15703 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
15704 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
15705 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
15706 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
15707 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
15708 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
15709 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
15710 request additional information:
15711 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
15712 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
15714 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
15715 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
15716 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
15719 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
15720 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
15722 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
15723 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
15726 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
15728 *Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
15730 * Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
15731 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
15732 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
15737 * Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
15738 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
15740 *Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson*
15742 * Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
15743 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
15744 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
15745 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
15746 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
15747 included in OpenSSL.
15751 * Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
15752 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
15753 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
15754 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
15755 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
15756 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
15760 * New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
15765 * Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
15766 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
15767 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
15768 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
15769 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
15774 * Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
15779 * Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
15780 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
15781 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
15782 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
15783 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
15784 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
15785 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
15786 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
15787 be maintained manually.
15789 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
15790 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
15791 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
15792 Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
15793 work because people forget to call this function.
15794 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
15795 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
15796 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
15800 * Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
15801 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
15802 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
15803 should be discouraged from doing it.
15807 * Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
15808 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
15809 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
15810 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
15811 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
15812 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
15816 * Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
15817 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
15818 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
15820 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
15821 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
15822 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
15824 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
15825 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
15826 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
15827 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
15828 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
15829 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
15831 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
15832 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
15833 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
15835 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
15836 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
15839 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
15840 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
15841 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
15842 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
15846 * Support for the authority information access extension.
15850 * Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
15851 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
15852 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
15853 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
15854 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
15855 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
15856 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
15857 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
15858 keys so we should be OK.
15860 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
15861 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
15862 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
15863 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
15864 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
15865 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
15866 stay in the name of compatibility.
15868 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
15869 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
15870 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
15872 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
15873 Also rename the `EVP_PKEY_get_*()` to `EVP_PKEY_rget_*()`
15874 (renamed to `EVP_PKEY_get1_*()` in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
15875 `EVP_PKEY_rset_*()` functions (renamed to `EVP_PKEY_set1_*()`)
15876 that do the same as the `EVP_PKEY_assign_*()` except they up the
15877 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
15882 * Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
15883 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
15884 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
15885 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
15886 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
15887 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
15888 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
15889 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
15890 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
15891 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
15892 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
15893 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
15894 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
15898 * Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
15902 * First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
15903 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
15904 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
15905 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
15906 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
15907 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
15908 single self signed certificate. This means that:
15909 openssl verify ss.pem
15910 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
15911 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
15916 * For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
15917 (and add it to external session representation).
15918 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
15919 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
15920 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
15921 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
15922 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
15923 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
15926 *Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke*
15928 * Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
15929 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
15930 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
15932 *Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson*
15934 * Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
15935 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
15936 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
15940 * New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
15941 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
15942 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
15947 * SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
15948 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
15950 *Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>*
15952 * Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
15953 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
15954 certificate auxiliary information.
15958 * Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
15963 * Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
15964 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
15965 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
15966 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
15967 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
15968 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
15969 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
15973 * Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
15974 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
15978 * Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
15979 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
15980 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
15981 manpages and fix a few bugs.
15985 * Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
15989 * Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
15990 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
15994 * Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
15995 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
15996 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
15997 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
15998 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
15999 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
16000 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
16001 using the new 'x509' options.
16003 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
16004 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
16005 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
16006 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
16011 * Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or `*BSD`).
16012 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
16013 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
16014 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
16015 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
16019 * Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
16020 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
16021 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
16022 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
16023 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
16024 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
16025 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
16026 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
16027 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
16028 the key length and effective key length are equal.
16032 * Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
16033 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
16034 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
16035 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
16036 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
16037 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
16038 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
16042 * Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
16043 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
16044 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
16045 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
16046 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
16047 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
16048 openssl.cnf for more info.
16052 * Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
16053 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
16054 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
16055 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
16056 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
16057 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
16058 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
16059 md should be large enough anyway.
16063 * New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
16064 for handling the random seed file.
16066 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
16068 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
16071 x509 (when signing).
16072 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
16073 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
16074 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
16076 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
16077 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
16078 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
16079 that support '-rand'.
16083 * In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
16084 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
16088 * Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
16089 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
16093 * New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
16094 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
16095 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
16096 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
16101 * Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
16102 macros are retained with an `M_` prefix. Code inside the library can
16103 use the `M_` macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
16104 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
16108 * Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
16109 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
16110 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
16111 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
16112 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
16113 print out all the purposes.
16117 * Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
16122 * New `X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i()` functions. These will search
16123 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
16124 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
16125 single function call.
16129 * RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
16130 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
16134 * New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
16135 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
16136 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
16140 * Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
16141 when producing the local key id.
16143 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
16145 * New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
16146 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
16147 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
16152 * Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
16153 a public key to be input or output. For example:
16154 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
16155 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
16159 * Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
16160 in the message. This was handled by allowing
16161 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
16163 *Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>*
16165 * Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
16166 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
16167 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
16169 *Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
16171 * Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
16172 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
16173 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
16174 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
16175 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
16176 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
16177 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
16178 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
16179 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
16180 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
16181 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
16182 trivial: move one line.
16184 *Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer)*
16186 * Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
16187 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
16188 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
16189 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
16190 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
16191 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
16192 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
16193 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
16194 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
16195 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
16196 with an event loop for example.
16200 * Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
16201 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
16202 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
16203 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
16204 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
16205 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
16206 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
16207 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
16208 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
16212 * Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
16213 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
16214 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
16215 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
16216 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
16217 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
16221 * Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
16222 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
16223 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
16225 *Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller*
16227 * Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
16228 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
16229 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
16230 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
16235 * Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
16236 (still largely untested)
16240 * New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
16241 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
16245 * New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
16246 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
16250 * Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
16251 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
16252 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
16256 * Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
16257 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
16258 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
16259 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
16260 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
16264 * RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
16268 * Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
16269 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
16270 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
16271 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
16272 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
16277 * Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
16278 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
16281 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
16285 * Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
16286 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
16287 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
16288 are otherwise ignored at present.
16292 * Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
16293 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
16294 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
16295 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
16296 copied until the next read.
16300 * Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
16301 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
16302 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
16306 * Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
16307 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
16308 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
16309 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
16310 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
16311 associated functions.
16315 * Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
16316 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
16317 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
16318 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
16319 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
16320 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
16321 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
16322 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
16323 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
16328 * Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
16329 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
16330 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
16331 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
16335 * The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
16336 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
16337 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
16338 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
16339 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
16344 * Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
16345 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
16350 * Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
16351 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
16352 extensions to be obtained and added.
16356 * -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
16357 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
16361 ### Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
16363 * Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
16365 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
16367 * A few more `#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif` pairs for consistency.
16369 *Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>*
16371 * Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
16376 * New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
16377 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
16378 DH parameters contain its length).
16380 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
16381 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
16382 where `p = 2*q + 1`), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
16383 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
16384 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
16385 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
16386 utter importance to use
16387 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
16389 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
16390 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
16391 attacks may become possible!
16395 * Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
16399 * Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
16400 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
16404 * New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
16405 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
16406 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
16411 * Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
16412 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
16413 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
16414 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
16415 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
16416 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
16417 private key operations.
16421 * Added support for SPARC Linux.
16425 * pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
16426 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
16428 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
16429 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
16430 The `PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}...` functions and macros now take an
16431 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
16432 the password callback is called.
16434 *Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller*
16436 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
16438 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
16439 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
16440 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
16441 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
16442 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
16443 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
16446 * The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
16447 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
16448 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
16449 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
16450 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
16451 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
16455 * MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
16459 * More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
16460 delete an unused file.
16464 * Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
16465 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
16466 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
16467 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
16471 * Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
16472 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
16473 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
16478 * New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
16479 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
16481 *Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller*
16483 * Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
16484 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
16485 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
16486 comparison" warnings.
16487 3. Add `sk_<TYPE>_sort` to DEF file generator and do make update.
16491 * Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
16492 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
16493 derived keys are printed to stderr.
16497 * Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
16499 *Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>*
16501 * The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
16502 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
16504 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
16505 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
16506 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
16508 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
16509 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
16510 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
16511 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
16512 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
16515 *Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>*
16517 * Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
16518 The interface is as follows:
16519 Applications can use
16520 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
16521 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
16522 "off" is now the default.
16523 The library internally uses
16524 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
16525 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
16526 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
16528 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
16529 even the default) are now avoided.
16531 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
16532 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
16533 than just having a counter.
16535 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
16537 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
16542 * Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
16543 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
16544 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
16545 Initial "mode" flags are:
16547 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
16548 a single record has been written.
16549 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
16550 retries use the same buffer location.
16551 (But all of the contents must be
16556 * Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
16559 * Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
16561 *Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>*
16563 * New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
16564 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
16565 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
16569 * Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
16570 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
16573 *Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller*
16575 * Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
16576 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
16577 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
16578 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
16580 *Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>*
16582 * Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
16583 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
16584 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
16585 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
16586 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
16587 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
16591 * Complete the `PEM_*` macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
16592 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
16593 necessary function names.
16597 * mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
16598 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
16599 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
16600 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
16604 * New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
16605 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
16606 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
16610 * New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
16611 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
16612 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
16613 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
16615 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
16620 * Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
16621 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
16622 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
16626 * New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
16627 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
16632 * Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
16633 for the encoded length.
16635 *Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>*
16637 * Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
16641 * Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
16642 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
16643 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
16644 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
16648 * Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
16649 *directory* in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
16651 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
16653 * Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
16654 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
16655 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
16656 unusual formatting.
16660 * Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
16661 to use the new extension code.
16665 * Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
16666 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
16667 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
16672 * Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
16673 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
16674 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
16678 * DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
16682 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
16683 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
16684 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
16687 * When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
16688 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
16689 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
16690 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
16694 * DES library cleanups.
16698 * Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
16699 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
16700 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
16701 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
16702 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
16707 * Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
16708 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
16712 * Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
16713 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
16714 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
16715 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
16716 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
16717 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
16718 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
16719 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
16720 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
16724 * Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
16725 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
16726 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
16727 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
16728 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
16729 value doesn't matter.
16733 * Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
16738 * "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
16740 *Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>*
16741 "linux-sparc" configuration.
16743 *Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>*
16745 * config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
16749 * Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
16750 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
16752 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
16754 * Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
16756 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
16758 * Make callbacks for key generation use `void *` instead of `char *`.
16762 * Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
16766 * Additional typesafe stacks.
16770 * New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
16774 ### Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
16776 * New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
16778 * Updated some demos.
16780 *Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine*
16782 * Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
16786 * Fix memory leak in conf.c.
16790 * Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
16794 * Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
16795 instead of using a fixed path.
16799 * SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
16803 * Improvements for VMS support.
16807 ### Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
16809 * Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
16810 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
16812 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
16814 * New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
16815 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
16816 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
16817 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
16818 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
16819 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
16820 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
16821 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
16822 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
16823 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
16827 * Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
16828 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
16832 * Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
16833 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
16834 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
16835 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
16836 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
16838 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
16842 * Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
16843 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
16844 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
16848 * Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
16852 * Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
16853 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
16854 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
16855 key elements as negative integers.
16859 * Reorganize and speed up MD5.
16861 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
16865 *Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>*
16867 * New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
16868 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
16869 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
16873 * Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
16874 that `SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state` be called before
16875 `SSL_{accept,connect}` may be used (`SSL_set_..._state` is omitted
16876 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
16877 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
16881 * Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
16885 * Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass "egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
16886 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
16887 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline" with EGCS 1.1.2+
16889 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
16891 * Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
16892 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
16894 *Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve*
16896 * Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
16897 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
16898 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
16899 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to `s->ctx->[default_]cert`
16900 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
16901 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
16902 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
16903 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
16904 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
16906 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
16907 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
16908 Changing settings for an `SSL_CTX *ctx` after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
16909 does not influence s as it used to.
16911 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
16912 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
16913 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
16914 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
16915 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
16916 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
16920 * New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
16921 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
16922 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
16927 * Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
16928 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
16929 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
16934 * Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
16935 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
16936 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
16941 * Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
16942 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
16946 * Support Borland C++ builder.
16948 *Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller*
16954 * SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
16956 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
16958 * Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
16960 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
16962 * Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
16966 * Update HPUX configuration.
16970 * Add missing `sk_<type>_unshift()` function to safestack.h
16972 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
16974 * New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
16975 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
16976 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
16981 * Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
16982 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
16983 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
16984 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
16985 now it really counts the depth.
16989 * Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
16990 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
16991 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
16992 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
16993 didn't match the private key).
16995 * New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
16996 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
16997 connection using the SSL_CTX).
17001 * OAEP decoding bug fix.
17005 * Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
17010 * New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
17011 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
17012 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
17016 * New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
17020 * Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
17021 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
17022 such as /usr/local/bin.
17026 * "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
17028 *Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>*
17030 * New Configure option `no-<cipher>` (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
17034 * Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
17035 extension adding in x509 utility.
17039 * Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
17043 * Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
17048 * New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
17052 * Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
17053 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
17054 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
17055 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
17056 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
17057 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
17058 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code embedded
17059 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
17060 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
17061 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
17065 * Change #include filenames from `<foo.h>` to `<openssl/foo.h>`.
17069 * Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
17070 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
17074 * Fix some race conditions.
17078 * Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
17079 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
17083 * Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
17087 * Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
17088 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
17089 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
17091 *Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>*
17093 * Fix lots of warnings.
17095 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
17097 * In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
17098 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
17100 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
17102 * Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
17104 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
17106 * Change functions to ANSI C.
17110 * Fix typos in error codes.
17112 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller*
17114 * Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
17118 * SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
17120 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
17122 * Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
17123 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
17127 * A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
17128 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
17132 * Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
17133 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
17137 * Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
17138 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
17142 * Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
17143 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
17147 * Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
17148 support typesafe stack.
17152 * Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
17154 *Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>*
17156 * Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
17157 old X509V3 handling code.
17161 * New Configure option "rsaref".
17165 * Don't auto-generate pem.h.
17169 * Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
17173 * Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
17175 *Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson*
17177 * Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
17178 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
17179 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
17180 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
17181 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
17185 * Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>` facility which revokes a certificate
17186 specified in `<certfile>` by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
17187 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
17188 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
17190 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall*
17192 * Fix `openssl crl -noout -text` combination where `-noout` killed the
17193 `-text` option at all and this way the `-noout -text` combination was
17194 inconsistent in `openssl crl` with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa`.
17196 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17198 * Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
17199 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
17200 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
17202 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17204 * Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test `openssl <cipher>` for
17205 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
17206 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
17207 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
17208 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
17209 `openssl list-cipher-commands` is used.
17213 * Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
17214 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
17218 * New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
17219 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
17223 * Tweaks to Configure
17225 *Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>*
17227 * Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
17232 * New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
17236 * New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
17237 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
17241 * Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
17242 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
17243 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
17247 * New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
17251 * Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
17252 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
17256 * More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
17257 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
17258 to library startup routines.
17262 * Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
17263 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
17264 codes along the way.
17268 * PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
17269 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
17270 objects to objects.h
17274 * Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
17275 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
17279 * Add LinuxPPC support.
17281 *Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>*
17283 * Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
17284 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
17286 *Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie*
17288 * Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
17289 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
17291 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17293 * Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
17294 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
17296 *Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>*
17298 ### Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
17300 * Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
17301 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
17305 * Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
17306 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
17307 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
17308 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
17310 *Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)*
17312 * Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
17313 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
17314 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
17317 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17319 * Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
17322 *Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve*
17324 * Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
17326 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17328 * Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
17329 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
17330 if someone would make that last step automatic.
17332 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>*
17334 * ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
17338 * Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
17339 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
17340 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
17341 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
17345 * Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
17346 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
17347 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
17351 * Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
17352 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
17353 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
17354 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
17355 installed as `perl').
17357 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
17359 * Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
17361 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
17363 * Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
17364 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
17365 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
17366 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
17367 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
17371 * DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
17375 * Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
17376 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
17377 is horrible: I feel ill....
17381 * Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
17382 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
17383 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
17384 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
17388 * Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
17390 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17392 * Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
17393 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
17394 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
17396 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17398 * Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
17399 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
17400 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
17401 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
17402 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
17403 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
17406 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17408 * Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
17410 *Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie*
17412 * Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
17414 *John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>*
17416 * Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
17420 * Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
17421 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
17426 * Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
17427 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
17428 Configure script every time: One now can use
17429 `perl Configure <id>:<details>`,
17430 i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
17431 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
17432 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key `<id>` with value
17433 `<details>` and `perl Configure <id>` is called. So, when you want to
17434 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
17435 assembler stuff you can use `perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"`
17436 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
17438 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17440 * Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
17444 * Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
17445 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
17446 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
17447 for linking it into DSOs.
17449 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17451 * Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
17456 * Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
17457 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
17458 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
17459 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
17460 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
17462 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17464 * General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
17465 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
17466 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
17467 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
17468 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
17469 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
17471 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17473 * Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
17474 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
17475 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
17480 * Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
17481 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
17482 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
17483 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
17487 * Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
17488 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
17489 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
17490 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
17491 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
17496 * Added the new 'Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
17497 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
17498 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
17499 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
17501 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17503 * Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
17504 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
17506 *Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>*
17508 * Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
17510 *Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>*
17512 * Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
17513 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
17514 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
17515 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
17516 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
17520 * Add new certificate file to stack functions,
17521 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
17522 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
17523 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
17524 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
17525 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
17526 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
17530 * Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
17532 See <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html>, and run doxygen with
17533 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
17537 * Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
17539 *Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual*
17541 * Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
17542 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
17546 * Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
17547 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
17548 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
17549 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
17550 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
17552 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
17553 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
17554 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
17555 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
17556 no way to reconfigure them.
17557 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
17558 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
17559 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
17560 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
17561 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
17563 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17565 * Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
17566 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
17567 recognized by the users.
17569 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17571 * Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
17572 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
17573 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
17574 already masked variable.
17576 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
17578 * Fix `port` variable from `int` to `unsigned int` in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
17580 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
17582 * Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
17583 from `int` to `unsigned int` because it is a length and initialized by
17584 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *`.
17586 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
17588 * Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
17589 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
17591 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17593 * Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
17594 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
17595 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
17596 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
17597 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
17598 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
17599 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
17600 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
17603 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17605 * Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
17606 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
17608 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
17610 * Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
17611 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
17616 * Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
17618 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie*
17620 * Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
17621 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
17622 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
17623 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
17627 * Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
17631 * Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
17633 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17635 * Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
17639 * Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
17640 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
17644 * Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
17645 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
17649 * Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
17650 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
17651 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
17652 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
17653 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
17654 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
17655 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
17658 * Updates to the new SSL compression code
17660 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
17662 * Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
17663 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
17664 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
17665 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
17667 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
17669 * Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
17670 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
17671 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
17675 * Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
17676 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
17681 * Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
17682 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
17684 *Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
17686 * Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
17687 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
17688 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
17689 build instructions.
17693 * Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
17694 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
17695 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
17696 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
17700 * Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
17701 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
17702 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
17703 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
17707 * Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
17708 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
17709 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
17710 so it wasn't spotted.
17712 *Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>*
17714 * Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
17715 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
17716 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
17717 vectors if you have them.
17721 * Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
17722 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
17726 * Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
17727 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
17728 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
17729 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
17731 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
17732 it will update them.
17736 * Overhauled the Perl interface:
17737 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
17738 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
17739 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
17740 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
17741 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
17742 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
17744 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17746 * First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
17747 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
17748 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
17749 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
17750 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
17751 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
17752 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
17753 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
17754 the crypto/md/ stuff).
17756 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17758 * More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
17759 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
17760 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
17761 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
17762 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
17766 * Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
17771 * Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
17773 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
17775 * Make sure `make rehash` target really finds the `openssl` program.
17777 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
17779 * Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
17780 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
17784 * Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
17786 *Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>*
17788 * Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm` -> `no-asm`
17790 *Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>*
17792 * New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
17796 * Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
17801 * Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
17802 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
17803 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
17805 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
17807 * Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
17811 * Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
17815 * Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
17819 * Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
17820 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
17824 * More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
17825 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
17830 * Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
17831 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
17835 * Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
17836 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
17837 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
17841 * Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
17842 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
17843 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
17844 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
17845 properly to be processed.
17849 * Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
17850 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
17851 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
17855 * Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
17857 *Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>*
17859 * Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
17860 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
17861 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
17862 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
17863 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
17864 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
17865 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
17866 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
17867 or delete all the .err files.
17871 * CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
17872 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
17873 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
17874 to regenerate it if needed.
17875 *Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
17876 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>*
17878 * File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
17880 *Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17882 * Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
17883 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
17884 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
17885 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
17886 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
17890 * Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
17892 *Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17894 * Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
17896 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
17898 * Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
17899 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
17900 error, but didn't set one).
17902 *Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
17904 * Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
17908 * Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
17909 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
17913 * Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
17915 *Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>*
17917 * The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
17918 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
17919 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
17920 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
17921 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
17922 OID is not part of the table.
17926 * Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
17927 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
17931 * Sort openssl functions by name.
17935 * Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
17936 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
17941 * Make *all* `*_free` functions accept a NULL pointer.
17943 *Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>*
17945 * If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
17948 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
17950 * s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
17952 *Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
17954 * Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
17956 *Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
17958 * Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
17960 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
17962 * Add prototype for temp key callback functions
17963 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
17967 * Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
17968 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
17972 * X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
17974 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
17976 * rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
17978 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
17980 * BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
17982 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
17984 * BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
17986 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
17988 * Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
17989 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
17990 unused in the certificate verification process.
17992 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17994 * Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
17995 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
17999 * Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
18000 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
18002 *Steve Henson and Ben Laurie*
18004 * First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay` program is now named
18005 `openssl` and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>`
18006 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
18007 line interface `openssl <command>`, similar to `cvs <command>`.
18009 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie*
18011 * ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
18012 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
18016 * Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
18020 * Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
18024 * Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
18025 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
18027 * Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
18031 * Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
18035 * Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
18039 * Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
18040 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
18041 other error libraries.
18045 * Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
18049 * Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
18050 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
18055 * Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
18056 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
18057 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
18058 the new set of documentation files.
18060 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18062 * SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
18063 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
18064 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
18065 number of arguments.
18067 *Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>*
18069 * Fix test data to work with the above.
18073 * Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
18074 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
18076 *Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
18078 * Autodetect FreeBSD3.
18082 * Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
18086 unixware-2.0-pentium
18091 * Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
18092 before they are needed.
18096 * Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
18100 ### Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
18102 * Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
18103 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
18105 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18107 * Some fixups to the top-level documents.
18111 * Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
18112 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
18114 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18116 * Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
18117 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
18119 *Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall*
18121 * Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links`
18122 when "ssleay" is still not found.
18124 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18126 * Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
18128 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>*
18130 * Updated the README file.
18132 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18134 * Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
18135 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
18137 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18139 * Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
18140 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
18142 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18144 * Cleaned up the top-level documents;
18145 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
18146 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
18147 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
18148 o removed obsolete TODO file
18149 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
18151 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18153 * Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
18154 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
18155 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

18158 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
18160 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18162 * Added various platform portability fixes.
18166 * The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
18167 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
18168 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
18171 *The OpenSSL Project*
18173 ### Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
18175 * Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
18179 * Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
18183 * Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
18184 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
18188 * New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
18189 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
18194 * Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
18197 *Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>*
18199 * Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
18203 * DSA fix for "ca" program.
18207 * Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
18211 * Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
18215 * Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
18219 * Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
18223 * Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
18227 * Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
18231 * Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
18235 * Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
18239 * Fixed the weak key values in DES library
18243 * Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
18247 * Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
18251 * Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
18255 * Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
18259 * Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
18263 * Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
18267 * Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
18268 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
18269 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
18273 * Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
18274 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
18278 * Additional PKCS1 checks.
18282 * Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
18286 * Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
18287 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
18291 * Fixed a few memory leaks.
18295 * Fixed various code and comment typos.
18299 * A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
18300 bytes sent in the client random.
