- Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8y and 0.9.8za [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *)
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
+
+ *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
+
+ This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
+ Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
+ at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
+
+ Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
+ Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
+ (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
+ Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
+ (CVE-2013-0169)
+ [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
+ This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
+ the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
+ so it returns the certificate actually sent.
+ See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
+ (This is a backport)
+ [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
+
+ *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
+
+ *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
+ to fix DoS attack.
+
+ Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
+ fuzzing as a service testing platform.
+ (CVE-2012-2333)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
+ Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
+
+ *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
+ 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
+ int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
+ rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
+ [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
+
+ *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
+ BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
+ in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
+
+ Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
+ issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
+ (CVE-2012-2110)
+ [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
+
+ *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
+ in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
+ content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
+ needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
+ old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
+ CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
+ an MMA defence is not necessary.
+ Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
+ this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
+ client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
+ Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
+
+ *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
+ Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
+ Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
+ preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
+ [Antonio Martin]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
+
+ *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
+ of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
+ which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
+ the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
+ differences arising during decryption processing. A research
+ paper describing this attack can be found at:
+ http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
+ Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
+ Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
+ (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
+ <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
+ for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
+ [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
+
+ *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
+ [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
+
+ *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
+ (CVE-2011-4576)
+ [Adam Langley (Google)]
+
+ *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
+ Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
+ Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
+ [Adam Langley (Google)]
+
+ *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
+ Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
+ and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
+ [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
+
+ *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
+ [Adam Langley (Google)]
+
+ *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
+ [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
+
+ *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
+ interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
+ [Adam Langley (Google)]
+
+ *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
+ BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
+ threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
+
+ This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
+ lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
+ BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
+ the last update always remained unused).
+ [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
+
+ *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
+ for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
+ [Adam Langley (Google)]
+
+ *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
+ by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
+
+ http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
+
+ [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
+
+ *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
+ [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
+
+ *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
+ escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
+ ambiguous.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
+
+ *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
+ and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
+ Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
+ Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
+ Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
+
+ *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
+ overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
+ be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
+ the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
+ some broken encodings work correctly.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
+ is also one of the inputs.
+ [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
+
+ *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
+ Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
+ after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
+ etc are non-op.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
+
+ [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
+ OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
+
+ *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
+ access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
+ [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
+
+ *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
+ common in certificates and some applications which only call
+ SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) VMS fixes:
+ Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
+ Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
+ Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
+ [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
+
+ *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
+ update s->server with a new major version number. As of
+ - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
+ - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
+ the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
+ receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
+ protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
+ [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
+
+ *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
+ could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
+ [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
+
+ *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
+ [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
+
+ *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
+ accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
+ excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
+ include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
+ BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
+ the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
+ trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
+ of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
+ This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
+ highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
+ off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
+ ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
+ call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
+ restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
+ This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
+ has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
+ CVE-2009-4355.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
+ change when encrypting or decrypting.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
+ connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
+ Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
+ a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
+ TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
+ the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
+ waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
+ received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
+ applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
+ and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
+ only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
+ peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
+ renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
+ the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
+ as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
+ turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
+ SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
+ SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
+ know what you are doing.
+ [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
+ issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
+ servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
+ stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
+ a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
+ (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
+ the handshake.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
+ CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
+ fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
+ correctly.
+ [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
+
+ *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
+ warnings in other configurations.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
+ makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
+ have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
+ systems need.
+ [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
+
+ *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
+ X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
+
+ *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
+ several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
+ several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
+ the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
+ and restored.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
+ OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
+ clash.
+ [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
+
+ *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
+ it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
+ other than a simple chain.
+ [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
+ by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
+ adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
+ with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
+ is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
+ allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
+ with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
+ left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
+ sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
+ So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
+ buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
+ [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
+
+ *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
+ processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
+ currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
+ a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
+ memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
+ the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
+ (CVE-2009-1377)
+ [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
+
+ *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
+ parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
+ [Daniel Mentz]
+
+ *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
+ [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
+
+ *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
+ [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
+
+ *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
+ problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
+ renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
+ SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
+ run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
+ you're doing.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
+
+ *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
+ underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
+ zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
+ [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
+
+ *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
+ checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
+ appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
+ [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
+
+ *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
+ prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
+ a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
+ unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
+ level.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
+ to handle some structures.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
+ for a '\n'
+ [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
+
+ *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
+ [Matthieu Herrb]
+
+ *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support NumericString type for name components.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
+ compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
+ chosen compiler.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
+
+ *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
+ (CVE-2008-5077).
+ [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
+
+ *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
+ multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
+ obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
+ [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
+
+ *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
+ [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
+
+ *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
+ JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
+ s_client and s_server.
+ [Ben Laurie]
*) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
[Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
+ *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
+ ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
+ [PR #1679]
+
*) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
(was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
[Nagendra Modadugu]
differing sizes.
[Richard Levitte]
- Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
-
- *) 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]

Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
*) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
