OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
+ Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
+ enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
+ is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
+ assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
+ further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
+ structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
+ (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
+ forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
+ consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
+ these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
+ their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
+ some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
+ maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
+ in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
+ that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
+ initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
+ to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
+ template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
+ lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
+ to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
+ (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
+ LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
+ objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
+ prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
+ given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
+ (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
+ haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
+ its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
+ *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
+ aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
+ internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
+ OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
+ the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
+ these have been updated also.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
+ into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
+ New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
+ digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
+ digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
+ functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
+ structure of type "other".
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
+ sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
+ modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
+ table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
+ re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
+ situation in the script.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
+ draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
+ SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
+ representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
+ larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
+ used as premaster secret.
+ [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
+
+ *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
+ curve secp160r1 to the tests.
+ [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
+ [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
+ control of the error stack.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
+ to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
+ HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
+ NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
+ pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
+ for a function to pass data back to the caller.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
+ works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
+ a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
+ a memory area.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
+ return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
+ found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
+ searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
+ takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
+ the following flags are defined:
+
+ OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
+ This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
+ element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
+ number.
+
+ OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
+ This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
+ element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
+ if there are more than one element where the comparing function
+ returns zero.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
+ in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
+ CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
+ as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
+ this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
+ against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
+ request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
+ subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
+ 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
+ if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
+ with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
+ named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
+ req and dirName.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
+ ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
+ the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
+ should make sure they are passing it correctly.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
+ dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
+ and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
+ indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
+ default implementation more easily.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
+ in config files.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
+ Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
+ means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
+ cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
+ and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
+
+ This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
+ PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
+ is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
+ SMIME_write_PKCS7().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
+ applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
+ to do it.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
+ precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
+ will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
+ makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
+ faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
+ scalar * generator).
+ [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
+ which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
+ formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
+ correctly.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
+ exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
+ GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
+ cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
+ However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
+ provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
+ specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
+ linker additions, eg;
+ ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
+ testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
+ produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
+ could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
+ enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
+ via PR#459)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
+ and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
+ software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
+ also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
*) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
+
+ Example for using the new callback interface:
+
+ int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
+ void *my_arg = ...;
+ BN_GENCB my_cb;
+
+ BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
+
+ return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
+ /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
+ * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
+ * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
+ * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
+ * to continue, or 0 to stop.
+ */
+
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
- forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
- reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
- -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
+ forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
+ reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
+ -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
[Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
*) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
-TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash)
-TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary
[Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
*) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
EC_GROUP_get_nid()
[Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
+ *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
+ was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
+ required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
+ of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
+ bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
+ bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
+ differing sizes.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [xx XXX XXXX]
+
+ *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
+ X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
+ keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
+ extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
+ rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
+ for these cases.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
+ A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
+ some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
+ copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
+ parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
+ calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
+ this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
+ < 0.9.7.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
+ [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
+
+ *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
+
+ *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
+
+ Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
+ invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
+
+ Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
+
+ If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
+ certificate signature with the NULL public key.
+
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
+ exiting on the first error in a request.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
+ if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
+ specifications.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
+ extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
+ but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
+
+ *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
+ when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
+ blocks during encryption.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
+ flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
+ data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
+ This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
+ certain size.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
+ output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
+ PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
+ Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
+ of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
+ parser.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
+
+ *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
+ Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
+ a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
+ in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
+ to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
+ RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
+ They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
+ [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
+ seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
+ an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
+ is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
+ by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
+ having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
+ (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
+ avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
+ between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+yet to be integrated into this CVS branch:
+- Geoff's ENGINE_set_default() fix
+
+ *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
+ the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
+ [Ulf Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
+
+ *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
+ via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
+ block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
+ against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
+ between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
+
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
+ Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
+ Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
+
+ *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
+ is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
+ libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
+ reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
+ be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
+
+ NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
+ own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
+ used by default when no-err is given.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
+ [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
+
+ *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
+ Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
+ the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
+ mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
+ [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
+ Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
+ ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
+ correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
+
+ Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
+
+ 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
+
+ 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
+
+ The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
+ auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
+ present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
+ certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
+ root is omitted).
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
+ [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
+ OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
+ could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
+ enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
+ Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
+ checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
+ could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
+ behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
+ SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
+ Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
+ followup to PR #377.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
+ for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
+ FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
+ the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

+
*) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED

*) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
