+
+ *)
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0k and 1.1.0l [10 Sep 2019]
+
+ *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
+ used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
+ or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
+ `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
+ This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
+ especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
+ By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
+ serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
+ internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
+ [Nicola Tuveri]
+
+ *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
+ this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
+ NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
+ does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
+ (CVE-2019-1547)
+ [Billy Bob Brumley]
+
+ *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
+ An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
+ second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
+ recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
+ encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
+ decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
+ used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
+ As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
+ key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
+ certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
+ The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
+ CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
+ (CVE-2019-1563)
+ [Bernd Edlinger]
+
+ *) Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
+
+ Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
+ paths should be used for installation.
+ (CVE-2019-1552)
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0j and 1.1.0k [28 May 2019]
+
+ *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
+ This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
+ fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
+ generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
+
+ ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
+ for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
+ (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
+ and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
+ bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
+ bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
+ additional leading bytes are ignored.
+
+ It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
+ unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
+ serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
+ the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
+ change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
+ new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
+ messages with a reused nonce.
+
+ Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
+ integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
+ integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
+ affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
+ is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
+ applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
+ length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
+ Greef of Ronomon.
+ (CVE-2019-1543)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
+ a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
+ This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
+ to affine coordinates.
+ [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
+
+ *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
+ re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
+ [Bernd Edlinger]
+
+ *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
+ 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
+ necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.0j [20 Nov 2018]
+
+ *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
+
+ The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
+ timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
+ algorithm to recover the private key.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
+ (CVE-2018-0734)
+ [Paul Dale]
+
+ *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
+
+ The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
+ timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
+ algorithm to recover the private key.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
+ (CVE-2018-0735)
+ [Paul Dale]
+
+ *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
+ coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
+ chosen point SCA attacks.
+ [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [14 Aug 2018]
+
+ *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
+
+ During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
+ malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
+ cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
+ key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
+ could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
+ (CVE-2018-0732)
+ [Guido Vranken]
+
+ *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
+
+ The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
+ a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
+ mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
+ recover the private key.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
+ Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
+ (CVE-2018-0737)
+ [Billy Brumley]
*) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
