OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
+ Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
+
+ *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
+ the 0.9.6 release series:
+
+ Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
+ supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
+ (CAN-2002-0657)
+ [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
+
+ *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
+ [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
+
+ *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
+ have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
+ OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
+ [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
+
+ *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
+ to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
+ which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
+
+ (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
+ out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
+ "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
+ directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
+ build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
+ some local tweaks:
+
+ # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
+ # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
+ # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
+ mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
+ cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
+ (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
+ mkdir -p `dirname $F`
+ ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
+ done
+
+ To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
+ is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
+ it probably means the source directory is very clean.
+ [Richard Levitte]
*) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
*) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
[Richard Levitte]
- Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [XX xxx XXXX]
+ Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
+ (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
+ SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
+ SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
+ SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
+ TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
+ ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
+ ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
+ [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
+ the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
+ contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
+ (see [openssl.org #212]).
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
+ length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
+
+ *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
+ Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
+ [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
+
+ *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
+ and get fix the header length calculation.
+ [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
+ Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
+ Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
+ overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
+ assertions could call abort()).
+ [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
+
+ *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
+ the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
+ negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
+ supplied buffer.
+ [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
+
+ *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
+ for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
+ by the selection routines (PR #130).
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.

applications.
[Bodo Moeller]
+ *) Changes in security patch:
+
+ Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
+ Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
+ Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
+ F30602-01-2-0537.
+
+ *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
+ the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
+ negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
+ supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
+ [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
+
+ *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
+ happen in practice.
+ [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
+
+ *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
+ too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
+ [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
+
+ *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
+ supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
+ [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
+
+ *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
+ supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
+ [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
+
Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
*) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
value is 0.
[Richard Levitte]
- *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
- [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
-
*) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
[Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+ *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
+ [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
+
*) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
