OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
-
- *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
- [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [xx XXX 2001]
- *) Move common extension printing code to new function
- X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
- implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions.
+ *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
+ copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
+ but the code is actually correct.
[Steve Henson]
- *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
- print routines.
- [Steve Henson]
+ *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
+ Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
+ [Ulf Moeller]
- *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
- set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
- is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
- encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
- structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
- order did not reflect the encoded order.
- [Steve Henson]
+ *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
+ (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
+ a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
+ (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
+ Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
+ CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
+ return NULL from CONF_get_section.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
+ [Ulf Moeller]
- *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
+ *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
+ keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
[Steve Henson]
- *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
- for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
- for now but they will eventually go away.
+ *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
+ is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
+ some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
+ sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
+ headers.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
+ macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
+ and break the signature.
[Steve Henson]
- *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
- completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality.
+ *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
+ DH ciphersuites.
[Steve Henson]
- *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
- (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
- so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
- for negative moduli.
+ *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
+ OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
+ aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
+ compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
+ with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
- of not touching the result's sign bit.
+ *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
+ ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+ *) ./config script fixes.
+ [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
- set.
+ *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
+ terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
+ parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
+ by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
+ [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
+
+ *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
+ call failed, free the DSA structure.
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
- macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
- that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
- type-specific callbacks.
- [Geoff Thorpe]
+ *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
+ These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
+ [Steve Henson]
- *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
- [Ulf Möller]
+ *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
+ Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
+ when writing a 32767 byte record.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
- *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
- RFC 2712.
- [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
- Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
+ *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
+ obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
+
+ (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
+ by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
+ so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
+ [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
+ "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
+
+ *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
+ [Bodo Moeller]
*) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
[Ulf Möller]
*) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
- in sections depending on the subject.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
- Windows.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
- (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
- p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
- be handled deterministically).
- [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
-
*) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
result of the server certificate verification.)
[Lutz Jaenicke]
- *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
- in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
- 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
- *) Disable ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek (i.e., both implementations
- of SSL_peek) because they both are completely broken.
- For fixing this, the internal read functions now have an additional
- 'peek' parameter, but the actual peek functionality has not
- yet been implemented.
+ *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
+ SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
+ Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) New function BN_kronecker.
+ *) Fix SSL_peek:
+ Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
+ releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
+ implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
+ and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
+ to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
+ ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
+ A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
+ does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
- positive unless both parameters are zero.
- Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
- possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
- in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
- *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
- sign of the number in question.
-
- Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
-
- The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
- because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
- Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
- it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
- BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
- *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
- the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
- calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
- happening the other way round.
- [Geoff Thorpe]
-
- *) New function BN_swap.
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
- *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
- the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
- results on negative inputs.
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
- *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
- Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
- I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
- *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
- (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
- and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
- and add new functions:
-
- BN_nnmod
- BN_mod_sqr
- BN_mod_add
- BN_mod_add_quick
- BN_mod_sub
- BN_mod_sub_quick
- BN_mod_lshift1
- BN_mod_lshift1_quick
- BN_mod_lshift
- BN_mod_lshift_quick
-
- These functions always generate non-negative results.
-
- BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
- such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
-
- BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
- BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
- be reduced modulo m.
- [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.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]
-
- *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
- unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
- verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
- hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
- or the new '-noverify' option is used.
-
- This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
- non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
- line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
- cause any problems.
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
- *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
*) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
- (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
- Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
- few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
- casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
- time)
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
- the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
- shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
- be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Add the following functions:
-
- ENGINE_load_cswift()
- ENGINE_load_chil()
- ENGINE_load_atalla()
- ENGINE_load_nuron()
- ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
-
- That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
- are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
- that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
- libraries unless it's really needed.
-
- Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
- Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
- declarations (they differed!).
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
- *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
- identity, and test if they are actually available.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
- [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
-
- *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
- sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
- [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
-
- *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
- little-endian MIPS.
- [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
-
- *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
- keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
- [Ben Laurie]
-
- *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
- previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
- [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
- have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
- depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
- different shared library filenames on each system.
- [Geoff Thorpe]
-
- *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
- warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
- with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
- of two sections.
- [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
-
- *) NCONF changes.
- NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
- NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
- promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
- binary backward compatibility.
- Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
- by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
- For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
- LDAP server.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
*) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
[Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
- *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
-
- - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
- if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
- to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
- that.
-
- - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
-
- - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
-
- - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
- static ones.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
- *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
- BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
- with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
- implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
- this case.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
- [Ben Laurie]
-
- *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
- X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
- to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
- 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
- set.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
- [Richard Levitte]
-
*) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
matter what.
[Richard Levitte]
+ *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
*) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
