OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
+ implemention in the following ways:
+
+ Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
+ hard coded.
+
+ Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
+ only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
+ ignored for embedded content.
+
+ CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
+ with the enable-cms configuration option.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
+ uncompresses any data passed through it.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
+ RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
+ sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
+ X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
+ data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
+ from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
+ once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
+ data.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
+ to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
+ [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
+
+ *) Netware support:
+
+ - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
+ - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
+ - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
+ - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
+ - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
+ - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
+ netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
+ - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
+ platform
+ - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
+ - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
+ - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
+ - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
+ - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
+ - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
+ [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
+
+ *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
+ A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
+ OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
+ and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
+ to s_client and s_server.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
+
+ *) Fix various bugs:
+ + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
+ + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
+ + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
+ + Fix ia64 assembler code
+ [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
+
+ *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
+ OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
+ RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
+ Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
+ pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
+ server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
+ not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
+ This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
+ (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
+ [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
+ Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
+ RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
+ SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
+ supported.
+
+ If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
+ support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
+ SSL_SESSION.
+
+ The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
+ protection in servers so again support should be possible
+ with no application modification.
+
+ If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
+ SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
+
+ Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
+ or server extensions to be examined.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
+ extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
+ have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
+ additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
+ stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
+ SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
+ server_name extension.
+
+ New functions (subject to change):
+
+ SSL_get_servername()
+ SSL_get_servername_type()
+ SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
+
+ New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
+
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
+ - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
+ - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
+
+ openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
+
+ openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
+ '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
+ testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
+ and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
+ negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
+ default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
+ option.
+
+ [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
+ (which previously caused an internal error).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) AES IGE mode speedup.
+ [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
+
+ *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
+ http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
+ add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
+
+ TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
+ TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
+ TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
+ TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
+
+ To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
+ series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
+ is configured with 'enable-seed'.
+ [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
+ single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
+ information. For detailed background information, see
+ http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
+ J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
+ and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
+ are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
+ BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
+ respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
+ conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
+ and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
+ of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
+ remove a conditional branch.
+
+ BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
+ BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
+ modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
+ in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
+ implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
+ remains as a deprecated alias.
+
+ Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
+ RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
+ constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
+ Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
+
+ BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
+ the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
+ modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
+ BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
+ essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
+ change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
+ RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
+ enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
+
+ [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
+
+ *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
+ context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
+ external cache for different purposes). Previously,
+ out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
+ set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
+ with applications using a single external cache for quite
+ different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
+ restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
+ in a different context.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
+ a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
+ authentication-only ciphersuites.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
+ not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
+ (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
+
+ *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
+ Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
+ ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
+ kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
+ (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
+ [Victor Duchovni]
+
+ *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
+ (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
+ When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
+ prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
+ encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
+ of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
+ protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
+ ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
+ particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
+ message has informed the client about his choice.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add RFC 3779 support.
+ [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
+ static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
+ Improve header file function name parsing.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
+ or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
+ [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
+
+ *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
+ cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
+ [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
+ in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
+ (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
+
+ *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
+ malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
+ [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
+
+ *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
+ match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
+ as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
+ the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
+ have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
+ That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
+ "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
+ namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
+ from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
+
+ So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
+ ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
+ ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
+ Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
+ ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
+
+ Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
+ 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
+ The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
+ AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
+ however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
+ (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
+ definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
+ multiple values to extend the available space.
+
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
+
+ *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
+ (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
+
+ *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
+ possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
+ undesirable limitations.
+ [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
+ treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
+ cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
+ However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
+ non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
+ support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
+ to avoid potential handshake problems.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
+
+ - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
+ - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
+ - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
+
+ The latter two were purportedly from
+ draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
+ appear there.
+
+ Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
+ draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
+ unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
+ dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
+ versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
+ (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
+ Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
+
+ To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
+ series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
+ is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
+ [NTT]
+
+ *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
+ bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
+ necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
+ positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
+ code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
+ now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
+
+ *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
+ cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
+ [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
+
+ *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
+ draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
+ TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
+ branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
+ [Douglas Stebila]
+
+ *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
+ opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
+ "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
+ to conform with the standards mentioned here:
+ http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
+ Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
+ --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
+ of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
+ can't be loaded.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
+ sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
+ handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
+ non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
+ under VC++ build system.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
+ Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
+
+ *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
+ (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
+ countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
+ rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
+ idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
+
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
+ for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
+ Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
+
+ *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
+ runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
+ [Nils Larsch]
+
+ *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
+ [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Add functions for well-known primes.
+ [Nick Mathewson]
+
+ *) Extended Windows CE support.
+ [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
+ runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
+ attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
+ smime utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
+
+ [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
+ OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
+
+ *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
+ key into the same file any more.
+ [Richard Levitte]
*) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
[Andy Polyakov]
*) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
[Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
+ *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
+ libraries. Use DES_crypt().
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
*) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
differing sizes.
[Richard Levitte]
- Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [XX xxx XXXX]

+ [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]

+ [Steve Henson]

+ [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
+
+ *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit

+ will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
+ ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
+ "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
+ SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
+ changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
+
+ *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
+ (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
+
+ *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when

+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
+
+ *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
+ module in FIPS mode.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
+ from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
+ "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
+ build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
+
+ *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
+ The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.

*) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
