OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [xx XXX 2001]
+ Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [XX xxx XXXX]
+
+ *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
+ in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
+ RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
+ caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
+ Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
+ DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
+ For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
+ environment variables.
+
+ *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
+ CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
+ having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
+ combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
+ Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
+ flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
+ the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock
+ that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
+ versions of 'test'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
+
+ *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
+
+ *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
+ the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
+ scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
+ if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
+ CygWin.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
+ If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
+ amount of data available.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
+ [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
+
+ *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
+ (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
+ For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
+ in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
+ with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
+ and UnixWare.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
+ On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
+ Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
+ http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
+ [Ulf Moeller]
+
+ *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
+ after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
+ [Steve Henson]
+ [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
*) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
(but broken) behaviour.
[Steve Henson]
+ *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
+ it when found.
+ [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
+
*) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
[Bodo Moeller]
The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
[Bodo Moeller]
+ *) 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]
+
*) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
[Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
copied!)
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
+ *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
worked.
*) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
