5 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
7 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
8 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
11 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
12 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
13 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
14 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
16 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
17 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
19 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
21 *) Various precautionary measures:
23 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
25 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
26 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
27 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
29 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
30 outside the expected range.
32 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
35 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
37 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
40 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
43 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
45 This work was sponsored by Logica.
48 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
49 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
50 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
52 This work was sponsored by Logica.
55 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
56 the load fails. Useful for distros.
57 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
59 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
61 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
62 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
63 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
64 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
66 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
67 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
70 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
72 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
73 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
74 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
76 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
78 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
79 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
80 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
81 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
84 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
85 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
86 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
87 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
88 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
89 invalid read after the end of 'db').
90 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
92 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
94 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
95 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
96 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
97 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
98 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
100 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
101 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
103 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
104 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
105 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
106 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
107 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
109 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
111 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
112 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
113 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
114 sets may exist with different names.
117 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
118 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
119 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
120 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
121 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
122 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
123 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
124 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
125 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
127 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
129 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
130 implemention in the following ways:
132 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
135 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
136 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
137 ignored for embedded content.
139 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
140 with the enable-cms configuration option.
143 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
144 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
145 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
146 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
148 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
149 uncompresses any data passed through it.
152 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
153 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
156 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
157 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
158 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
159 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
160 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
161 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
165 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
166 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
167 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
171 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
172 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
173 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
174 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
175 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
176 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
177 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
178 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
180 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
181 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
182 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
183 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
184 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
185 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
186 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
188 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
189 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
190 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
191 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
192 to s_client and s_server.
195 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
198 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
199 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
200 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
201 + Fix ia64 assembler code
202 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
204 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
206 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
207 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
208 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
209 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
210 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
211 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
212 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
213 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
216 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
217 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
218 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
221 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
222 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
223 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
226 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
227 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
230 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
231 protection in servers so again support should be possible
232 with no application modification.
234 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
235 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
237 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
238 or server extensions to be examined.
240 This work was sponsored by Google.
243 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
244 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
245 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
246 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
247 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
248 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
249 server_name extension.
251 New functions (subject to change):
254 SSL_get_servername_type()
257 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
259 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
260 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
261 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
262 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
263 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
265 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
267 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
268 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
269 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
270 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
271 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
272 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
275 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
277 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
280 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
283 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
284 (which previously caused an internal error).
287 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
290 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
291 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
293 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
294 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
295 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
297 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
298 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
299 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
300 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
302 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
303 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
304 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
307 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
308 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
309 information. For detailed background information, see
310 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
311 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
312 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
313 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
314 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
315 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
316 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
317 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
318 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
319 remove a conditional branch.
321 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
322 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
323 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
324 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
325 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
326 remains as a deprecated alias.
328 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
329 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
330 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
331 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
333 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
334 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
335 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
336 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
337 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
338 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
339 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
340 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
342 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
344 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
345 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
346 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
347 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
348 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
349 with applications using a single external cache for quite
350 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
351 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
352 in a different context.
355 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
356 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
357 authentication-only ciphersuites.
360 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
361 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
362 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
364 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
366 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
367 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
368 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
369 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
370 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
373 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
374 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
375 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
376 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
377 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
378 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
381 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
382 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
383 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
384 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
385 message has informed the client about his choice.)
388 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
389 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
391 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
392 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
393 Improve header file function name parsing.
396 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
397 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
400 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
402 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
403 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
404 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
406 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
407 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
409 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
410 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
412 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
413 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
414 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
416 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
417 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
418 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
419 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
420 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
421 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
422 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
423 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
424 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
426 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
427 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
428 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
429 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
430 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
432 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
433 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
434 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
435 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
436 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
437 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
438 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
439 multiple values to extend the available space.
443 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
445 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
446 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
448 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
451 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
452 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
453 undesirable limitations.
454 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
456 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
457 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
458 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
459 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
460 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
461 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
462 to avoid potential handshake problems.
465 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
467 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
468 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
469 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
471 The latter two were purportedly from
472 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
475 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
476 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
477 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
480 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
481 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
484 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
485 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
486 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
487 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
489 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
490 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
491 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
494 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
495 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
496 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
497 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
498 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
499 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
502 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
504 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
505 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
508 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
509 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
511 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
512 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
513 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
514 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
517 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
518 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
521 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
522 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
523 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
524 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
525 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
526 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
527 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
531 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
532 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
533 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
534 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
537 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
538 under VC++ build system.
541 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
542 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
545 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
547 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
548 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
549 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
550 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
551 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
553 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
554 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
555 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
557 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
560 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
561 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
564 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
565 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
567 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
570 *) Extended Windows CE support.
571 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
573 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
574 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
577 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
578 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
582 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
584 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
587 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
590 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
591 key into the same file any more.
594 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
597 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
598 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
600 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
601 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
604 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
605 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
606 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
607 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
608 this only applies when building 'shared'.
609 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
611 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
612 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
613 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
616 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
617 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
618 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
619 - add new function for parameter creation
620 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
621 BN_BLINDING parameters
622 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
623 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
624 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
628 *) Add support for DTLS.
629 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
631 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
632 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
635 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
636 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
639 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
640 the apps/openssl applications.
643 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
644 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
645 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
648 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
649 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
651 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
652 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
654 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
655 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
656 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
657 avoid this algorithm.)
661 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
662 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
663 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
666 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
667 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
670 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
671 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
672 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
675 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
677 The blank line is mandatory.
681 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
682 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
686 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
687 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
689 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
690 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
691 to support policy checking and print out.
694 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
695 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
696 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
697 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
699 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
702 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
703 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
705 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
706 implementation contributed by IBM.
707 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
709 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
710 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
711 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
712 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
714 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
715 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
717 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
718 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
719 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
720 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
721 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
722 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
725 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
726 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
727 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
728 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
729 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
730 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
731 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
734 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
737 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
738 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
739 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
740 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
741 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
742 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
743 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
744 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
747 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
748 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
749 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
750 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
753 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
756 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
759 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
760 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
761 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
762 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
763 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
764 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
768 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
769 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
772 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
773 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
774 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
777 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
778 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
779 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
783 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
784 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
787 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
788 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
789 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
790 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
793 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
794 initialised value as BN_new().
795 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
797 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
800 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
801 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
802 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
803 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
804 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
805 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
806 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
807 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
808 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
809 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
810 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
811 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
812 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
813 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
814 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
816 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
817 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
818 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
819 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
822 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
823 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
824 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
825 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
826 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
827 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
828 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
829 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
830 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
833 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
834 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
835 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
836 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
837 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
838 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
839 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
842 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
843 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
844 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
845 these have been updated also.
848 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
849 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
850 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
851 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
852 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
856 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
857 structure of type "other".
860 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
861 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
862 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
863 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
864 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
865 situation in the script.
866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
868 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
869 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
870 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
871 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
872 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
873 used as premaster secret.
874 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
876 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
877 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
878 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
880 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
881 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
883 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
884 control of the error stack.
887 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
890 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
891 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
892 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
893 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
896 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
897 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
898 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
901 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
902 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
903 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
907 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
908 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
909 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
910 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
913 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
914 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
915 the following flags are defined:
917 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
918 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
919 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
922 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
923 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
924 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
925 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
929 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
930 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
931 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
932 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
933 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
936 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
937 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
938 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
941 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
942 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
943 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
944 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
945 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
946 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
949 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
953 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
956 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
959 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
962 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
963 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
964 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
965 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
966 default implementation more easily.
969 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
973 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
974 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
977 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
978 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
979 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
980 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
982 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
983 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
984 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
988 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
989 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
993 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
994 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
995 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
996 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
997 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
999 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1001 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1002 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1003 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1007 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1008 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1009 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1010 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1011 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1012 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1013 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1014 linker additions, eg;
1015 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1018 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1019 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1020 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1023 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1024 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1025 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1029 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1030 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1031 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1032 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1035 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1036 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1037 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1038 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1039 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1040 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1041 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1042 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1043 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1044 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1046 Example for using the new callback interface:
1048 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1052 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1054 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1055 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1056 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1057 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1058 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1059 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1064 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1065 available to TLS with the number defined in
1066 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1069 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1070 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1072 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1073 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1074 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1075 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1077 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1078 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1080 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1081 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1085 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1086 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1089 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1090 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1091 and a macro that behave like
1092 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1094 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1097 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1098 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1099 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1101 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1103 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1106 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1107 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1108 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1109 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1111 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1112 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1113 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1114 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1115 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1116 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1117 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1118 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1120 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1121 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1124 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1125 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1127 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1128 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1129 files while avoiding the low level API.
1131 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1132 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1133 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1134 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1136 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1137 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1138 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1139 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1140 instead of the low level API.
1143 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1144 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1145 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1146 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1147 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1150 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1151 down to the template encoder.
1154 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1155 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1158 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1159 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1160 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1161 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1163 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1164 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1166 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1167 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1169 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1170 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1173 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1174 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1175 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1178 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1179 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1181 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1182 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1184 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1185 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1188 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1192 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1193 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1194 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1195 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1196 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1197 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1199 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1200 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1203 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1204 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1205 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1206 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1207 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1208 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1209 various internal method names.)
1211 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1212 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1214 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1215 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1217 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1218 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1220 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1221 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1222 methods are undefined.
1224 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1225 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1227 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1228 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1229 length of the modulus.
1231 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1232 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1234 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1235 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1237 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1238 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1240 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1241 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1242 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1245 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1246 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1247 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1248 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1250 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1251 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1252 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1253 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1255 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1256 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1258 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1259 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1260 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1261 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1262 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1264 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1265 This applies to the following functions:
1270 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1271 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1273 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1274 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1278 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1283 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1285 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1286 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1287 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1288 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1289 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1291 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1292 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1294 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1295 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1296 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1298 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1299 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1301 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1302 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1303 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1304 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1305 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1307 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1309 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1310 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1311 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1312 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1313 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1314 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1315 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1316 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1317 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1318 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1319 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1320 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1322 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1325 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1326 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1327 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1328 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1330 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1331 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1332 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1333 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1338 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1339 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1340 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1341 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1342 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1344 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1345 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1346 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1347 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1348 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1349 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1350 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1351 adding different types of curves.
1352 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1354 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1355 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1356 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1359 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1360 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1362 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1363 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1364 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1365 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1367 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1369 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1370 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1372 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1373 library. Most notably,
1374 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1375 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1376 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1377 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1378 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1379 extracted before the specific public key;
1380 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1381 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1383 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1384 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1386 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1387 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1388 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1389 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1391 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1392 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1393 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1395 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1396 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1397 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1398 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1399 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1400 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1404 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1406 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1407 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1408 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1409 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1410 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1411 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1412 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1413 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1414 in a different context.
1417 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1419 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1421 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1423 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1424 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1425 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1428 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1429 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1430 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1433 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1436 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1437 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1440 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1441 run algorithm test programs.
1444 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1447 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1448 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1449 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1450 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1451 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1454 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1455 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1458 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1460 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1461 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1462 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1464 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1465 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1467 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1468 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1470 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1471 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1472 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1474 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1475 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1476 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1477 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1478 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1479 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1480 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1483 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1485 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1486 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1488 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1489 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1490 undesirable limitations.
1491 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1493 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1495 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1496 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1497 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1499 The latter two were purportedly from
1500 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1503 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1504 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1505 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1508 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1509 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1512 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1514 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1515 module in FIPS mode.
1518 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1521 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1522 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1523 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1524 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1527 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1529 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1530 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1531 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1532 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1533 the difference induced by this change.
1536 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1538 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1539 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1540 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1541 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1542 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1544 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1545 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1546 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1548 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1549 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1552 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1553 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1554 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1555 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1559 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1560 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1561 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1562 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1563 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1565 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1566 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1567 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1568 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1569 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1570 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1572 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1574 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1575 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1576 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1577 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1578 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1581 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1585 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1586 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1587 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1590 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1591 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1592 structures constant.
1595 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1597 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1600 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1601 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1602 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1603 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1604 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1605 some needed definitions.
1608 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1611 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1612 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1613 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1614 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1617 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1619 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1620 server and client random values. Previously
1621 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1622 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1624 This change has negligible security impact because:
1626 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1629 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1632 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1633 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1636 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1639 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1641 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1644 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1645 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1646 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1648 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1651 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1652 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1655 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1656 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1657 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1659 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1662 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1663 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1664 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1668 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1669 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1670 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1671 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1673 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1674 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1675 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1676 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1680 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1682 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1683 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1684 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1685 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1686 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1689 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1692 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1693 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1695 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1696 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1697 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1698 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1699 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1700 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1701 rather than being initialized to 1.
1704 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1706 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1707 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1708 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1710 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1712 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1714 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1715 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1716 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1717 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1718 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1719 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1722 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1723 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1724 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1725 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1726 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1730 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1731 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1732 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1733 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1734 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1737 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1738 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1739 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1743 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1744 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1746 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1749 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1751 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1753 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1754 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1756 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1758 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1759 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1763 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1764 exiting on the first error in a request.
1767 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1768 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1772 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1773 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1774 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1775 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1777 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1778 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1781 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1782 blocks during encryption.
1785 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1786 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1787 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1788 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1792 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1793 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1794 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1795 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1796 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1800 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1802 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1803 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1804 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1805 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1808 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1809 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1810 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1811 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1812 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1814 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1815 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1816 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1817 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1818 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1819 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1820 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1821 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1822 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1825 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1826 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1827 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1828 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1831 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1832 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1835 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1837 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1838 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1839 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1840 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1841 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1843 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1844 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1845 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1847 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1848 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1849 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1850 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1851 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1853 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1854 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1855 used by default when no-err is given.
1858 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1859 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1861 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1862 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1863 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1864 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1865 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1867 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1868 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1869 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1870 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1872 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1874 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1876 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1878 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1879 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1880 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1881 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1885 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1886 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1888 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1889 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1892 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1893 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1894 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1895 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1898 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1899 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1900 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1901 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1902 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1903 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1904 followup to PR #377.
1907 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1908 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1911 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1912 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1913 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
1914 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
1916 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1918 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1921 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1922 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1923 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1924 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1926 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1930 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1931 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1935 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1936 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1937 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1938 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1939 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1940 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1942 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1943 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1944 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1945 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1946 have to be made anyway).
1949 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1950 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1951 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1954 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1955 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1956 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1959 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1960 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1961 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1963 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1964 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1965 edit numbers of the version.
1966 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1968 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1969 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1970 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1972 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1973 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1975 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1976 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1977 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1979 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1980 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1982 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1983 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1985 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1986 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1988 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1989 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1991 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1993 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1995 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1996 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1997 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1999 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2000 representations in a platform independent manner.
2001 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2003 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2004 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2005 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2007 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do

2014 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half

2038 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2040 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2042 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

2048 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2049 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2051 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2053 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2054 the 0.9.6 release series:
2056 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2057 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2059 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2061 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2064 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2065 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2067 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2068 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2070 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2071 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2072 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2073 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2075 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2076 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2077 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2079 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2080 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2081 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2082 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2084 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2085 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2086 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2089 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2090 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2091 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2092 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2093 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2094 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2095 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2096 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2099 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2100 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2101 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2104 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2105 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2106 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2107 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2108 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2110 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2111 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2113 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2114 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2117 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2118 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2119 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2120 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2121 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2122 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2125 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2126 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2127 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2130 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2131 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2134 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2135 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2136 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2137 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2138 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2139 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2140 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2143 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2144 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2145 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2146 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2147 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2148 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2151 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2152 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2153 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2154 declaration has been changed from
2157 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2158 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2159 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2160 has been changed into
2161 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2163 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2164 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2165 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2167 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2168 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2170 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2171 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2172 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2173 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2174 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2175 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2176 always load it have also been added.
2179 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2180 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2181 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2183 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2185 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2186 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2187 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2189 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2190 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2191 command line option can be used to specify an
2195 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2196 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2199 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2200 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2201 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2204 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2205 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2206 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2207 to work with the new engine framework.
2208 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2210 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2211 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2212 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2213 to work with the new engine framework.
2216 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2217 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2218 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2220 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2221 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2223 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2224 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2225 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2226 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2228 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2230 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2231 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2233 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2234 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2236 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2237 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2238 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2241 *) Add new functions
2243 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2244 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2245 These are similar to
2248 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2249 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2250 still in the error queue.
2251 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2253 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2255 default_algorithms = ALL
2256 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2259 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2262 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2265 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2266 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2267 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2268 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2270 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2271 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2273 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2274 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2276 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2277 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2280 *) New functions/macros
2282 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2283 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2284 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2285 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2287 to request calling a callback function
2289 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2290 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2292 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2293 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2294 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2295 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2296 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2297 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2298 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2299 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2300 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2301 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2303 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2304 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2307 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2308 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2309 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2310 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2311 the configuration scripts.
2313 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2314 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2315 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2317 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2318 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2320 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2321 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2322 when reusing an existing buffer.
2325 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2326 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2329 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2330 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2333 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2334 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2335 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2336 has the same effect.
2337 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2339 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2340 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2341 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2342 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2343 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2344 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2347 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2348 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2349 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2350 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2352 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2353 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2354 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2355 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2357 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2358 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2361 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2362 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2363 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2364 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2365 default), and then completely removed.
2368 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2369 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2370 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2371 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2372 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2373 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2374 particular extension is supported.
2377 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2378 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2381 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2382 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2383 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2384 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2385 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2386 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2387 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2388 requires the destination to be valid.
2390 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2391 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2394 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2395 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2396 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2399 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2400 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2402 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2403 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2404 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2405 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2406 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2407 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2408 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2409 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2410 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2411 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2412 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2413 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2414 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2415 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2416 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2417 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2418 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2419 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2420 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2424 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2427 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2428 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2429 become part of libeay.num as well.
2432 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2433 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2434 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2435 false once a handshake has been completed.
2436 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2437 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2438 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2439 client has followed the request.)
2442 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2443 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2444 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2445 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2447 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2448 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2449 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2452 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2455 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2456 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2457 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2460 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2461 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2464 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2465 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2466 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2467 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2470 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2471 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2472 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2473 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2474 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2475 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2478 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2479 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2480 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2481 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2482 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2483 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2484 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2485 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2488 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2489 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2492 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2495 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2496 md_data void pointer.
2499 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2500 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2501 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2502 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2503 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2504 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2507 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2508 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2509 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2510 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2511 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2512 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2513 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2514 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2515 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2516 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2517 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2518 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2519 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2520 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2521 rather than letting it slide.
2523 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2524 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2525 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2528 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2529 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2530 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2531 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2532 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2533 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2534 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2535 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2536 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2539 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2540 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2541 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2542 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2543 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2545 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2548 *) Add EVP test program.
2551 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2554 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2555 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2556 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2557 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2558 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2561 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2562 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2563 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2564 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2565 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2566 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2567 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2569 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2570 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2571 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2576 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2577 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2578 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2579 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2580 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2584 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2585 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2586 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2587 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2590 des_key_schedule ks;
2592 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2593 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2595 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2598 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2599 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2600 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2601 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2602 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2603 functions prevents this.
2606 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2609 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2610 correct _ecb suffix.
2613 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2614 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2615 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2616 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2617 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2620 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2623 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2624 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2625 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2626 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2628 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2629 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2631 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2632 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2633 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2634 via Richard Levitte]
2636 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2637 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2638 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2639 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2642 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2645 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2646 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2660 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2661 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2663 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2664 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2665 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2666 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2667 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2668 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2671 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2672 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2675 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2676 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2677 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2678 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2680 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2681 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2682 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2683 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2684 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2685 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2689 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2690 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2691 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2692 and interrupts/cancellations.
2695 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2696 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2699 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2700 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2701 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2703 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2704 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2708 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2709 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2710 than this minimum value is recommended.
2713 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2714 that are easily reachable.
2717 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2718 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2720 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2722 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2723 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2724 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2725 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2728 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2729 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2730 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2733 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2734 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2735 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2736 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2737 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2738 internally such as S/MIME.
2740 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2741 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2742 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2744 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2748 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2749 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2750 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2751 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2753 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2755 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2757 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2758 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2759 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2763 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2764 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2765 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2766 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2767 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2768 a window system and the like.
2771 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2772 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2775 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2776 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2777 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2778 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2779 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2780 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2781 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2782 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2783 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2787 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2788 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2792 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2793 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2794 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2795 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2796 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2797 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2798 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2799 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2802 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2803 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2804 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2805 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2806 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2807 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2808 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2809 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2810 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2811 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2812 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2813 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2814 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2815 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2816 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2817 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2818 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2821 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2822 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2823 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2824 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2825 internal engine_int.h header.
2828 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2829 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2830 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2831 modify their own ones).
2834 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2835 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2836 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2837 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2838 later on via ctrl() commands.
2839 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2840 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2841 structural references.
2842 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2843 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2844 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2845 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2846 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2847 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2848 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2849 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2850 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2851 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2852 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2853 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2856 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2857 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2858 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2859 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2860 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2861 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2862 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2863 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2866 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2867 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2870 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2871 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2874 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2875 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2876 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2877 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2878 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2879 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2880 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2883 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2884 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2885 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2886 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2887 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2889 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2890 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2894 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2896 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2897 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2898 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2900 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2901 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2903 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2904 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2905 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2907 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2908 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2910 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2911 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2913 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2915 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2916 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2917 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2920 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2921 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2924 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2925 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2926 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2927 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2928 is 40 of more characters long.
2931 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2932 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2936 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2937 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2940 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2941 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2945 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2947 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2948 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2951 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2953 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2954 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2955 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2957 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2958 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2960 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2963 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2967 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2968 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2969 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2970 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2972 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2974 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2975 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2977 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2978 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2979 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2980 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2981 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2982 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2984 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2985 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2987 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2988 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2990 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2991 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2993 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2994 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2995 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2996 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2998 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2999 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3001 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3002 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3004 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3005 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3006 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3007 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3008 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3011 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3012 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3013 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3014 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3017 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3018 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3019 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3023 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3024 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3025 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3026 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3027 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3028 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3029 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3030 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3034 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3035 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3038 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3039 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3040 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3041 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3044 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3045 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3046 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3047 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3048 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3049 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3050 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3051 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3052 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3053 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3056 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3057 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3058 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3059 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3060 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3061 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3062 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3063 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3065 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3066 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3067 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3068 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3071 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3072 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3073 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3074 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3076 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3077 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3078 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3079 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3080 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3084 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3085 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3086 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3087 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3091 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3092 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3093 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3096 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3097 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3098 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3099 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3100 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3103 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3106 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3107 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3108 option to ocsp utility.
3111 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3112 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3113 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3114 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3115 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3116 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3117 the request is nonce-less.
3120 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3121 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3122 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3125 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3126 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3127 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3130 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3131 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3132 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3133 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3134 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3137 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3138 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3142 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3143 additional certificates supplied.
3146 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3147 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3151 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3152 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3155 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3156 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3157 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3158 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3159 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3160 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3161 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3162 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3163 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3165 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3166 request to response.
3169 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3170 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3171 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3172 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3173 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3174 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3175 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3176 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3177 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3178 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3179 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3182 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3183 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3184 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3185 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3188 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3189 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3191 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3192 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3193 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3196 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3197 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3198 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3199 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3200 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3202 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3203 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3204 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3207 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3208 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3209 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3210 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3211 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3212 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3213 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3214 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3216 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3217 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3218 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3219 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3220 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3221 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3224 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3225 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3226 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3227 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3228 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3229 printout format cleaned up.
3232 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3233 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3234 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3235 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3236 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3237 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3238 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3239 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3242 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3243 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3244 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3245 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3246 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3247 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3248 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3249 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3252 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3253 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3254 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3255 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3257 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3259 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3260 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3261 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3262 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3265 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3266 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3267 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3268 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3270 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3272 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3273 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3274 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3275 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3277 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3278 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3280 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3281 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3282 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3285 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3286 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3287 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3290 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3291 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3292 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3293 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3294 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3295 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3296 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3297 functions are provided:
3299 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3300 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3301 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3302 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3304 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3305 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3306 extended allocation function is enabled.
3307 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3308 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3309 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3311 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3312 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3313 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3314 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3315 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3318 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3319 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3320 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3322 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3323 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3324 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3327 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3328 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3329 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3330 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3331 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3332 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3333 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3334 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3335 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3338 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3339 provide utility functions which an application needing
3340 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3341 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3342 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3344 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3345 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3346 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3347 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3348 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3349 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3350 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3351 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3352 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3354 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3355 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3356 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3357 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3360 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3361 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3362 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3363 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3364 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3365 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3366 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3367 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3368 will be added elsewhere.
3371 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3372 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3373 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3374 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3377 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3378 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3379 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3380 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3381 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3382 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3383 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3384 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3385 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3386 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3387 to produce the required SET OF.
3390 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3391 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3392 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3395 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3396 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3397 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3398 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3399 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3400 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3403 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3404 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3405 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3408 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3409 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3410 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3413 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3414 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3415 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3416 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3417 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3420 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3421 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3424 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3425 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3426 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3427 certifcates and CRLs.
3430 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3431 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3432 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3435 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3436 entries for variables.
3439 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3440 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3441 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3442 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3445 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3446 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3447 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3448 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3449 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3450 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3453 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3454 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3456 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3457 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3458 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3461 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3465 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3466 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3467 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3468 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3469 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3470 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3473 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3476 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3477 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3478 for now but they will eventually go away.
3481 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3482 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3483 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3484 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3485 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3486 has also been converted to the new form.
3489 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3490 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3491 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3492 for negative moduli.
3495 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3496 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3499 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3503 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3504 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3505 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3506 type-specific callbacks.
3509 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3511 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3512 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3514 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3515 in sections depending on the subject.
3518 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3522 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3523 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3524 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3525 be handled deterministically).
3526 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3528 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3529 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3530 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3533 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3536 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3537 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3538 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3539 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3540 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3543 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3544 sign of the number in question.
3546 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3548 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3549 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3550 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3551 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3552 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3555 *) New function BN_swap.
3558 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3559 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3560 results on negative inputs.
3563 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3564 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3565 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3568 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3569 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3570 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3571 and add new functions:
3580 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3584 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3586 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3587 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3589 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3590 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3591 be reduced modulo m.
3592 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3595 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3596 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3597 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3599 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3600 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3601 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3602 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3603 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3604 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3609 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3610 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3611 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3612 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3613 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3615 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3616 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3617 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3621 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3624 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3625 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3628 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3629 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3630 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3631 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3635 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3638 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3641 *) Add the following functions:
3643 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3645 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3647 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3649 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3650 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3651 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3652 libraries unless it's really needed.
3654 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3655 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3656 declarations (they differed!).
3659 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3662 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3665 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3668 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3669 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3672 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3673 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3674 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3676 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3677 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3680 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3683 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3686 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3689 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3690 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3691 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3693 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3694 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3695 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3696 different shared library filenames on each system.
3699 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3702 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3703 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3704 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3706 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3709 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3710 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3711 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3712 binary backward compatibility.
3713 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3714 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3715 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3719 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3720 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3721 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3722 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3726 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3729 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3730 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3731 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3732 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3736 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3739 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3741 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3742 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3743 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3745 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3747 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3749 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3750 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3753 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3755 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3757 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3758 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3760 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3761 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3765 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3766 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3770 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3771 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3772 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3773 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3775 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3776 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3779 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3781 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3782 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3783 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3784 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3787 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3788 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3789 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3790 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3791 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3793 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3794 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3795 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3796 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3797 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3798 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3799 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3800 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3801 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3804 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3806 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3807 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3808 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3809 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3810 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3812 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3813 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3814 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3816 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3818 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3819 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3820 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3821 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3822 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3823 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3826 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3827 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3828 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3829 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3830 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3833 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3834 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3835 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3837 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3838 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3839 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3843 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3844 being properly terminated.
3847 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3848 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3849 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3850 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3852 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3853 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3854 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3855 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3856 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3857 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3858 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3860 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3862 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3863 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3866 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3867 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3868 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3869 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3870 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3871 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3872 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3873 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3875 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3876 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3877 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3878 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3879 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3881 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3882 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3885 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3887 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3888 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3889 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3891 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3893 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3894 and get fix the header length calculation.
3895 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3896 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3899 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3900 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3901 assertions could call abort()).
3902 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3904 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3906 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3907 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3908 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3910 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3912 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3913 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3914 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3917 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3921 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3922 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3923 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3925 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3926 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3927 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3928 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3929 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3933 *) Changes in security patch:
3935 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3936 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3937 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3940 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3941 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3942 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3943 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3944 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3946 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3948 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3950 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3951 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3952 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3954 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3955 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3956 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3958 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3959 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3960 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3962 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3964 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3965 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3966 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3968 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3969 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3971 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3972 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3973 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3974 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3975 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3976 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3979 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3980 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3981 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3982 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3985 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3988 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3989 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3990 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3991 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3992 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3993 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3995 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3996 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3997 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3998 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3999 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4002 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4003 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4004 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4005 BN_generate_prime().)
4007 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4008 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4009 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4013 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4014 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4017 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4018 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4019 when using non-blocking I/O.
4020 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4022 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4023 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4025 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4026 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4029 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4030 configuration for the versions before that.
4031 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4033 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4034 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4035 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4036 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4039 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4040 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4041 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4044 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4048 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4049 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4050 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4052 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4053 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4055 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4056 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4057 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4058 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4059 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4060 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4061 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4064 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4065 using a local variable.
4066 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4068 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4069 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4070 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4072 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4075 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4076 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4078 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4079 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4080 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4082 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4084 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4085 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4086 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4087 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4090 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4094 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4095 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4096 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4097 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4098 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4100 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4101 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4102 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4104 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4105 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4106 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4108 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4109 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4110 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4111 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4113 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4114 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4115 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4117 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4119 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4120 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4122 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4124 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4125 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4126 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4127 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4129 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4130 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4131 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4132 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4134 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4135 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4137 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4138 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4139 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4142 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4143 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4144 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4146 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4148 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4149 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4150 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4151 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4152 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4153 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4154 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4157 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4158 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4159 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4160 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4162 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4163 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4164 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4165 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4166 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4167 the client will at least see that alert.
4170 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4174 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4175 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4176 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4178 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4179 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4180 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4181 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4184 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4185 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4186 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4188 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4189 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4190 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4191 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4192 may leak via logfiles.)
4194 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4195 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4196 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4197 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4201 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4202 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4205 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4206 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4207 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4208 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4209 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4212 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4213 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4215 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4216 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4217 followed by modular reduction.
4218 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4220 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4221 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4224 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4225 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4226 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4227 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4230 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4233 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4234 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4237 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4238 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4239 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4240 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4241 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4242 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4244 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4246 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4247 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4248 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4249 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4250 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4252 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4255 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4256 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4257 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4258 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4259 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4260 to allow the necessary settings.
4263 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4264 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4265 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4266 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4269 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4270 dh->length and always used
4272 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4274 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4275 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4276 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4277 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4278 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4283 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4285 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4291 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4292 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4293 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4294 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4296 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4297 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4298 always reject numbers >= n.
4301 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4302 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4303 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4304 variable) is not atomic.
4307 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4308 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4309 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4310 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4312 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4313 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4315 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4317 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4319 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4322 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4324 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4325 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4326 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4327 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4328 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4329 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4330 to traverse all of 'state'.
4332 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4333 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4334 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4336 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4337 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4339 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4340 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4341 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4342 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4343 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4344 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4345 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4346 further strengthens the PRNG.
4349 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4352 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4353 an error message in this case.
4356 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4359 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4360 positive and less than q.
4363 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4364 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4366 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4368 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4369 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4373 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4375 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4376 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4377 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4378 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4379 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4380 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4381 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4384 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4385 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4386 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4387 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4389 Both problems are now fixed.
4392 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4393 (previously it was 1024).
4396 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4397 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4400 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4403 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4404 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4405 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4408 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4409 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4410 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4411 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4412 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4413 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4414 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4415 environment variables.
4417 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4418 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4419 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4422 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4423 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4424 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4425 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4426 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4427 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4430 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4434 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4436 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4437 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4439 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4440 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4441 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4442 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4446 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4447 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4448 amount of data available.
4449 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4450 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4452 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4453 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4454 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4455 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4458 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4459 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4463 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4464 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4465 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4466 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4469 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4472 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4475 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4476 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4478 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4480 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4481 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4482 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4483 (but broken) behaviour.
4486 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4488 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4490 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4491 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4494 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4498 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4499 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4501 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4504 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4505 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4506 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4508 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4509 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4510 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4513 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4514 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4517 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4518 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4520 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4522 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4524 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4525 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4526 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4527 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4530 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4533 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4534 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4535 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4537 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4540 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4542 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4543 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4544 but the code is actually correct.
4547 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4548 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4549 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4550 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4551 and leaves the highest bit random.
4552 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4554 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4555 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4556 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4557 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4558 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4559 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4560 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4563 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4566 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4567 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4570 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4571 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4572 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4573 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4577 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4578 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4579 and break the signature.
4581 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4583 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4587 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4588 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4589 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4590 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4591 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4594 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4595 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4597 *) ./config script fixes.
4598 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4600 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4603 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4604 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4605 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4606 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4607 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4609 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4610 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4613 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4614 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4617 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4618 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4619 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4620 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4622 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4623 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4625 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4626 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4627 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4628 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4629 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4631 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4634 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4637 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4640 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4643 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4644 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4647 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4648 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4649 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4650 result of the server certificate verification.)
4653 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4654 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4655 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4659 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4660 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4661 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4662 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4663 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4664 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4665 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4666 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4669 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4670 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4671 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4672 happening the other way round.
4675 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4676 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4679 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4680 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4681 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4682 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4685 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4686 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4688 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4690 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4691 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4692 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4695 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4697 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4699 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4703 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4705 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4706 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4707 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4708 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4709 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4711 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4712 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4716 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4719 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4721 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4722 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4723 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4724 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4725 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4726 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4727 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4728 by the Finished messages.
4731 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4732 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4734 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4735 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4736 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4737 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4738 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4742 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4743 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4744 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4745 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4746 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4747 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4748 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4749 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4750 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4754 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4755 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4756 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4757 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4759 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4760 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4761 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4762 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4763 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4766 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4767 been tested well enough.
4770 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4771 it can return incorrect results.
4772 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4773 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4776 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4777 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4778 include zero length content when signing messages.
4781 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4782 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4785 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4788 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4792 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4793 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4794 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4795 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4796 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4797 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4800 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4801 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4803 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4804 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4806 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4807 random number < q in the DSA library.
4810 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4811 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4812 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4813 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4814 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4815 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4816 just makes things more complicated.)
4819 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4823 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4824 work better on such systems.
4825 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4827 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4828 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4829 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4832 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4833 if there was more than one signature.
4834 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4836 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4837 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4838 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4839 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4842 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4843 rather than always using the current time.
4846 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4847 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4848 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4849 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4850 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4851 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4853 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4854 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4856 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4858 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4859 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4860 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4861 the same hash value.
4863 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4864 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4865 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4866 with X509_STORE internally.
4868 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4869 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4871 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4872 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4873 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4874 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4875 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4876 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4877 entirely (maybe later...).
4879 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4881 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4882 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4883 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4884 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4885 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4886 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4887 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4888 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4890 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4891 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4893 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4894 to customise the verify behaviour.
4897 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4898 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4901 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4902 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4903 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4904 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4905 request is improperly encoded.
4908 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4909 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4912 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4913 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4915 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4916 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4920 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4921 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4922 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4925 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4926 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4927 BIO/fp routines also added.
4930 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4931 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4933 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4934 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4935 demos/state_machine.
4938 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4939 generation and verification.
4942 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4943 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4944 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4945 encode and decode it manually.
4948 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4950 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4952 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4953 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4954 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4955 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4957 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4958 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4959 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4960 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4961 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4964 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4967 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4968 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4969 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4971 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4972 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4973 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4974 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4975 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4976 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4977 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4978 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4980 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4981 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4983 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4985 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4986 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4987 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4991 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4992 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4993 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4994 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4998 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5000 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5003 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5004 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5005 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5006 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5007 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5008 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5009 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5010 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5011 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5012 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5013 short or long names are found.
5016 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5017 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5019 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5020 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5021 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5022 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5024 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5025 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5026 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5027 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5030 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5031 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5032 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5035 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5036 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5037 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5038 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5039 to allow the various flags to be set.
5042 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5043 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5044 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5045 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5046 dates to be checked.
5049 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5050 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5051 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5054 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5055 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5056 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5059 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5060 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5063 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5064 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5065 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5066 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5067 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5068 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5071 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5072 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5076 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5080 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5081 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5082 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5083 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5084 form signing output easier to verify.
5087 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5090 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5091 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5092 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5093 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5094 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5095 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5096 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5097 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5098 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5099 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5102 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5104 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5105 the syntax given in objects.README.
5106 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5108 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5111 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5112 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5113 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5114 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5115 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5116 consistent name changes.
5119 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5122 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5123 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5124 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5125 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5128 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5129 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5130 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5134 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5135 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5136 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5137 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5140 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5141 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5142 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5143 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5144 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5145 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5146 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5147 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5148 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5149 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5150 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5153 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5154 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5155 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5156 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5157 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5158 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5159 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5160 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5161 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5162 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5165 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5166 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5167 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5168 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5170 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5171 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5172 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5173 omit any duplicate addresses.
5176 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5177 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5180 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5181 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5182 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5183 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5184 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5187 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5189 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5190 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5191 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5192 Free => OPENSSL_free
5195 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5196 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5199 *) CygWin32 support.
5200 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5202 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5203 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5204 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5205 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5206 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5210 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5211 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5212 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5213 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5214 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5215 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5216 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5219 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5220 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5221 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5222 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5223 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5224 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5225 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5226 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5227 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5228 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5229 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5232 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5233 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5234 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5235 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5236 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5238 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5239 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5240 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5241 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5242 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5244 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5247 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5248 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5249 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5250 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5252 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5254 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5257 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5258 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5259 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5262 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5263 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5264 any installed hardware versions can.
5267 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5268 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5269 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5273 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5274 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5275 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5276 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5277 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5279 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5280 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5283 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5284 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5287 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5288 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5289 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5293 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5296 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5297 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5298 but no ssl client purpose.
5299 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5301 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5302 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5303 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5304 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5305 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5306 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5307 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5308 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5309 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5310 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5311 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5314 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5315 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5316 be obtained from the error queue.
5319 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5320 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5321 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5322 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5325 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5328 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5329 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5330 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5331 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5332 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5335 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5336 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5337 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5338 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5339 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5342 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5343 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5344 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5346 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5348 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5349 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5350 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5351 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5352 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5353 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5354 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5355 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5356 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5357 or "the configuration storage API"...
5359 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5361 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5362 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5364 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5366 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5368 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5369 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5370 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5371 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5372 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5373 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5374 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5376 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5377 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5380 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5381 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5382 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5383 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5386 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5387 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5388 them in a portable way.
5389 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5391 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5393 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5395 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5396 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5398 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5399 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5400 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5403 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5404 was larger than the MD block size.
5405 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5407 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5408 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5409 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5410 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5414 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5415 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5416 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5418 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5420 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5422 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5423 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5424 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5425 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5426 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5427 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5429 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5430 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5432 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5433 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5436 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5439 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5440 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5442 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5443 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5444 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5445 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5448 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5449 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5450 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5451 does not suppress any output.
5454 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5455 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5456 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5457 with all the associated security issues.
5459 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5460 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5461 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5462 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5463 use the value in the default purpose.
5466 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5467 and fix a memory leak.
5470 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5471 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5472 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5473 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5476 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5477 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5478 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5479 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5482 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5483 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5484 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5487 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5488 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5491 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5492 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5496 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5497 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5500 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5501 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5502 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5505 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5506 number generation fails.
5509 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5512 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5513 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5515 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5518 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5519 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5521 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5522 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5524 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5526 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5527 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5530 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5531 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5533 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5534 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5537 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5538 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5539 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5540 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5541 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5542 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5544 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5545 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5546 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5550 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5551 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5552 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5553 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5554 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5555 counter, some don't.)
5556 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5557 counters or duplicate objects.
5560 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5561 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5564 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5565 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5566 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5568 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5569 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5570 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5574 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5575 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5578 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5579 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5580 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5584 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5585 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5586 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5589 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5590 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5591 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5592 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5593 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5594 should work without changes.
5597 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5598 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5599 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5600 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5601 must be defined. E.g.,
5602 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5603 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5604 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5605 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5607 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5611 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5612 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5613 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5616 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5617 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5618 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5619 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5622 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5623 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5624 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5625 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5626 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5627 is prompted for as usual.
5630 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5631 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5632 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5633 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5635 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5636 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5637 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5638 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5641 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5644 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5648 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5651 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5654 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5658 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5661 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5664 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5665 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5668 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5669 options to produce them.
5672 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5673 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5676 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5680 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5681 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5682 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5683 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5684 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5685 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5686 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5689 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5692 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5693 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5694 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5697 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5698 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5700 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5701 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5704 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5705 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5706 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5710 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5711 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5713 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5714 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5715 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5716 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5717 generation becomes much faster.
5719 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5720 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5721 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5722 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5723 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5724 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5725 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5726 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5727 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5728 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5731 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5732 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5733 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5734 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5735 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5736 trial division stage.
5739 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5743 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5746 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5749 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5750 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5751 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5755 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5756 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5757 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5760 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5761 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5762 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5763 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5765 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5766 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5769 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5772 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5773 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5774 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5775 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5778 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5779 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5780 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5783 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5784 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5785 (instead of parameters) in future.
5788 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5789 when a new cipher list is set.
5792 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5793 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5796 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5797 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5798 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5800 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5801 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5802 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5803 an error is flagged.
5805 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5806 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5807 the readability was also increased :-)
5808 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5810 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5811 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5812 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5813 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5817 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5818 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5821 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5822 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5823 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5824 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5827 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5828 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5829 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5830 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5831 because they handle more complex structures.)
5834 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5835 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5836 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5837 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5839 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5840 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5841 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5842 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5843 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5844 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5845 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5848 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5849 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5850 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5851 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5852 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5855 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5858 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5859 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5860 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5861 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5862 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5865 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5869 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5870 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5871 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5872 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5875 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5878 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5879 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5880 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5881 international characters are used.
5883 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5884 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5885 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5889 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5890 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5891 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5894 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5895 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5896 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5897 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5898 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5899 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5901 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5902 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5903 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5904 be handled by the string table functions.
5906 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5907 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5908 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5909 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5910 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5914 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5915 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5916 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5917 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5918 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5920 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5921 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5922 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5923 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5926 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5927 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5928 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5929 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5930 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5934 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5935 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5936 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5937 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5938 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5939 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5940 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5941 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5943 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5944 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5945 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5948 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5949 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5950 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5951 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5952 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5953 support to pkcs8 application.
5956 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5957 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5958 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5959 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5960 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5961 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5964 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5965 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5966 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5967 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5968 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5972 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5973 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5974 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5975 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5979 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5980 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5981 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5982 and any application specific purposes.
5984 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5985 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5986 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5987 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5988 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5989 if the certificate is self signed.
5992 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5993 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5996 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5997 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5998 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5999 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6002 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6003 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6004 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6005 Update documentation.
6008 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6009 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6010 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6011 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6012 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6015 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6017 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6019 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6020 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6021 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6022 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6023 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6024 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6025 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6026 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6027 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6028 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6030 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6032 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6033 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6034 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6035 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6036 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6038 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6039 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6040 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6041 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6042 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6043 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6044 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6045 request additional information:
6046 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6047 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6049 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6050 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6051 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6054 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6055 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6058 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6061 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6062 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6064 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6065 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6066 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6070 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6071 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6072 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6074 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6075 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6076 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6077 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6078 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6079 included in OpenSSL.
6082 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6083 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6084 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6085 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6086 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6087 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6090 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6094 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6095 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6096 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6097 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6098 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6102 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6106 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6107 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6108 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6109 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6110 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6111 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6112 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6113 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6114 be maintained manually.
6116 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6117 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6118 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6119 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6120 work because people forget to call this function]
6121 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6122 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6123 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6126 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6127 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6128 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6129 should be discouraged from doing it.
6132 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6133 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6134 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6135 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6136 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6137 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6140 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6141 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6142 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6144 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6145 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6146 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6148 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6149 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6150 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6151 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6152 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6153 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6155 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6156 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6157 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6159 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6160 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6163 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6164 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6165 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6166 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6169 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6172 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6173 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6174 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6175 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6176 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6177 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6178 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6179 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6180 keys so we should be OK.
6182 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6183 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6184 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6185 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6186 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6187 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6188 stay in the name of compatibility.
6190 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6191 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6192 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6194 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6195 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6196 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6197 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6198 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6199 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6203 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6204 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6205 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6206 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6207 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6208 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6209 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6210 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6211 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6212 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6213 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6214 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6215 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6218 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6221 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6222 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6223 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6224 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6225 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6226 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6227 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6228 openssl verify ss.pem
6229 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6230 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6234 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6235 (and add it to external session representation).
6236 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6237 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6238 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6239 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6240 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6241 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6243 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6245 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6246 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6247 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6248 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6250 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6251 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6252 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6255 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6256 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6257 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6261 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6262 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6263 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6265 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6266 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6267 certificate auxiliary information.
6270 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6274 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6275 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6276 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6277 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6278 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6279 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6280 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6283 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6284 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6287 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6288 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6289 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6290 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6293 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6296 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6297 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6300 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6301 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6302 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6303 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6304 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6305 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6306 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6307 using the new 'x509' options.
6309 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6310 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6311 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6312 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6316 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6317 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6318 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6319 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6320 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6323 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6324 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6325 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6326 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6327 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6328 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6329 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6330 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6331 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6332 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6335 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6336 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6337 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6338 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6339 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6340 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6341 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6344 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6345 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6346 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6347 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6348 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6349 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6350 openssl.cnf for more info.
6353 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6354 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6355 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6356 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6357 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6358 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6359 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6360 md should be large enough anyway.
6363 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6364 for handling the random seed file.
6366 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6368 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6371 x509 (when signing).
6372 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6373 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6374 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6376 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6377 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6378 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6379 that support '-rand'.
6382 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6383 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6386 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6387 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6390 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6391 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6392 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6393 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6397 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6398 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6399 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6400 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6403 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6404 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6405 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6406 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6407 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6408 print out all the purposes.
6411 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6415 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6416 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6417 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6418 single function call.
6421 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6422 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6425 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6426 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6427 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6430 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6431 when producing the local key id.
6432 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6434 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6435 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6436 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6440 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6441 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6442 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6443 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6446 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6447 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6448 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6449 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6451 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6452 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6453 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6454 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6456 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6457 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6458 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6459 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6460 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6461 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6462 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6463 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6464 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6465 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6466 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6467 trivial: move one line.
6468 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6470 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6471 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6472 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6473 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6474 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6475 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6476 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6477 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6478 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6479 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6480 with an event loop for example.
6483 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6484 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6485 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6486 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6487 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6488 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6489 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6490 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6491 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6494 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6495 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6496 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6497 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6498 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6499 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6502 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6503 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6504 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6505 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6507 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6508 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6509 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6510 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6514 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6515 (still largely untested)
6518 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6519 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6522 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6523 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6526 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6527 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6528 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6531 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6532 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6533 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6534 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6535 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6538 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6541 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6542 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6543 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6544 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6545 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6549 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6550 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6553 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6556 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6557 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6558 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6559 are otherwise ignored at present.
6562 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6563 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6564 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6565 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6566 copied until the next read.
6569 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6570 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6571 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6574 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6575 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6576 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6577 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6578 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6579 associated functions.
6582 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6583 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6584 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6585 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6586 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6587 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6588 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6589 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6590 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6594 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6595 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6596 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6597 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6600 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6601 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6602 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6603 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6604 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6608 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6609 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6613 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6614 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6615 extensions to be obtained and added.
6618 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6619 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6622 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6624 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6625 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6627 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6628 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6630 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6634 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6635 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6636 DH parameters contain its length).
6638 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6639 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6640 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6641 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6642 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6643 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6644 utter importance to use
6645 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6647 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6648 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6649 attacks may become possible!
6652 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6655 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6656 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6659 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6660 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6661 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6665 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6666 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6667 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6668 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6669 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6670 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6671 private key operations.
6674 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6677 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6678 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6680 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6681 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6682 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6683 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6684 the password callback is called.
6685 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6687 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6689 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6690 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6691 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6692 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6693 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6694 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6697 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6698 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6699 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6700 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6701 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6702 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6705 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6708 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6709 delete an unused file.
6712 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6713 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6714 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6715 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6718 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6719 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6720 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6724 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6725 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6726 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6728 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6729 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6730 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6731 comparison" warnings.
6732 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6735 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6736 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6737 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6740 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6741 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6743 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6744 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6746 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6747 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6748 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6750 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6751 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6752 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6753 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6754 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6756 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6758 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6759 The interface is as follows:
6760 Applications can use
6761 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6762 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6763 "off" is now the default.
6764 The library internally uses
6765 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6766 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6767 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6769 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6770 even the default) are now avoided.
6772 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6773 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6774 than just having a counter.
6776 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6778 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6782 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6783 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6784 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6785 Initial "mode" flags are:
6787 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6788 a single record has been written.
6789 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6790 retries use the same buffer location.
6791 (But all of the contents must be
6795 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6798 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6799 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6801 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6802 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6803 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6806 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6807 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6809 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6811 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6812 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6813 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6814 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6816 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6817 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6819 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6820 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6821 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6822 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6823 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6824 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6827 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6828 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6829 necessary function names.
6832 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6833 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6834 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6835 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6838 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6839 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6840 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6843 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6844 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6845 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6846 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6848 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6852 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6853 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6854 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6857 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6858 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6862 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6863 for the encoded length.
6864 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6866 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6869 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6870 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6871 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6872 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6875 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6876 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6877 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6879 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6880 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6881 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6885 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6886 to use the new extension code.
6889 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6890 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6891 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6895 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6896 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6897 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6901 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6904 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6905 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6906 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6909 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6910 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6911 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6912 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6915 *) DES library cleanups.
6918 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6919 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6920 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6921 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6922 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6926 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6927 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6930 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6931 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6932 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6933 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6934 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6935 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6936 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6937 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6938 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6941 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6942 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6943 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6944 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6945 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6946 value doesn't matter.
6949 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6953 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6954 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6955 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6956 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6958 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6961 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6962 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6963 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6965 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6966 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6968 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6971 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6974 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6977 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6981 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6983 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6985 *) Updated some demos.
6986 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6988 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6991 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6994 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6997 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6998 instead of using a fixed path.
7001 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7004 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7008 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7010 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7011 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7012 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7014 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7015 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7016 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7017 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7018 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7019 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7020 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7021 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7022 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7023 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7026 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7027 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7030 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7031 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7032 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7033 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7034 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7036 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7039 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7040 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7041 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7044 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7047 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7048 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7049 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7050 key elements as negative integers.
7053 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7054 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7057 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7059 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7060 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7061 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7064 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7065 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7066 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7067 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7068 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7071 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7074 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7075 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7076 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7077 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7079 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7080 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7081 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7083 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7084 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7085 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7086 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7087 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7088 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7089 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7090 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7091 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7093 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7094 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7095 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7096 does not influence s as it used to.
7098 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7099 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7100 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7101 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7102 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7103 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7106 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7107 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7108 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7112 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7113 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7114 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7118 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7119 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7120 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7124 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7125 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7128 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7129 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7134 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7135 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7137 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7138 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7140 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7143 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7146 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7147 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7149 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7150 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7151 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7155 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7156 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7157 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7158 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7159 now it really counts the depth.
7162 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7163 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7164 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7165 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7166 didn't match the private key).
7168 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7169 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7170 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7173 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7176 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7180 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7181 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7182 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7185 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7188 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7189 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7190 such as /usr/local/bin.
7193 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7194 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7196 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7199 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7200 extension adding in x509 utility.
7203 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7206 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7210 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7213 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7214 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7215 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7216 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7217 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7218 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7219 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7220 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7221 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7222 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7225 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7228 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7229 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7232 *) Fix some race conditions.
7235 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7236 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7239 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7242 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7243 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7244 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7245 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7247 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7248 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7250 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7251 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7252 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7254 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7255 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7257 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7260 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7261 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7263 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7266 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7267 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7269 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7270 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7273 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7274 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7277 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7278 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7281 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7282 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7285 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7286 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7289 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7290 support typesafe stack.
7293 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7294 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7296 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7297 old X509V3 handling code.
7300 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7303 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7306 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7309 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7310 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7312 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7313 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7314 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7315 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7316 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7319 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7320 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7321 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7322 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7323 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7325 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7326 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7327 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7328 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7330 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7331 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7332 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7335 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7336 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7337 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7338 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7339 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7340 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7343 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7344 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7347 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7348 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7351 *) Tweaks to Configure
7352 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7354 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7358 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7361 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7362 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7365 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7366 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7367 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7370 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7373 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7374 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7377 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7378 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7379 to library startup routines.
7382 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7383 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7384 codes along the way.
7387 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7388 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7389 objects to objects.h
7392 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7393 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7396 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7397 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7399 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7400 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7401 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7403 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7404 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7405 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7407 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7408 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7409 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7412 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7414 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7415 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7418 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7419 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7420 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7421 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7422 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7424 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7425 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7426 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7428 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7430 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7432 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7434 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7435 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7437 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7438 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7439 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7440 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7442 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7445 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7446 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7447 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7448 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7451 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7452 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7453 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7456 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7457 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7458 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7459 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7460 installed as `perl').
7461 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7463 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7464 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7466 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7467 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7468 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7469 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7470 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7473 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7476 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7477 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7478 is horrible: I feel ill....
7481 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7482 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7483 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7484 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7487 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7488 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7490 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7491 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7492 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7493 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7495 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7496 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7497 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7498 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7499 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7500 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7502 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7504 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7505 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7507 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7508 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7510 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7513 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7514 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7518 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7519 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7520 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7521 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7522 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7523 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7524 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7525 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7526 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7527 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7528 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7530 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7533 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7534 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7535 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7536 for linking it into DSOs.
7537 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7539 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7543 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7544 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7545 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7546 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7547 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7548 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7550 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7551 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7552 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7553 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7554 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7555 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7556 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7558 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7559 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7560 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7564 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7565 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7566 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7567 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7570 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7571 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7572 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7573 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7574 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7578 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7579 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7580 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7581 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7582 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7584 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7585 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7586 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7588 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7589 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7591 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7592 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7593 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7594 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7595 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7598 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7599 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7600 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7601 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7602 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7603 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7604 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7607 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7609 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7610 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7613 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7614 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7616 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7617 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7620 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7621 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7622 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7623 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7624 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7626 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7627 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7628 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7629 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7630 no way to reconfigure them.
7631 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7632 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7633 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7634 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7635 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7636 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7638 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7639 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7640 recognized by the users.
7641 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7643 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7644 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7645 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7646 already masked variable.
7647 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7649 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7650 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7652 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7653 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7654 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7655 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7657 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7658 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7659 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7661 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7662 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7663 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7664 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7665 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7666 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7667 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7668 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7670 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7672 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7673 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7674 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7676 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7677 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7681 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7682 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7684 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7685 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7686 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7687 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7690 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7693 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7694 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7696 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7699 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7700 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7703 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7704 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7707 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7708 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7709 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7710 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7711 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7712 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7713 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7716 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7717 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7719 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7720 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7721 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7722 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7723 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7725 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7726 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7727 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7730 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7731 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7735 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7736 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7737 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7739 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7740 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7741 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7745 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7746 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7747 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7748 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7751 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7752 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7753 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7754 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7757 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7758 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7759 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7760 so it wasn't spotted.
7761 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7763 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7764 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7765 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7766 vectors if you have them.
7769 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7770 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7773 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7774 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7775 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7776 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7778 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7779 it will update them.
7782 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7783 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7784 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7785 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7786 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7787 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7788 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7789 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7791 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7792 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7793 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7794 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7795 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7796 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7797 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7798 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7799 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7800 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7802 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7803 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7804 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7805 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7806 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7809 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7813 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7814 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7816 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7817 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7819 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7820 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7823 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7824 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7826 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7827 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7829 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7832 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7836 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7837 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7838 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7839 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7841 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7844 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7847 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7850 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7851 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7854 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7855 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7859 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7860 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7863 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7864 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7865 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7868 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7869 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7870 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7871 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7872 properly to be processed.
7875 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7876 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7877 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7880 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7881 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7883 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7884 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7885 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7886 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7887 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7888 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7889 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7890 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7891 or delete all the .err files.
7894 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7895 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7896 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7897 to regenerate it if needed.
7898 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7899 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7901 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7902 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7904 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7905 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7906 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7907 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7908 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7911 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7912 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7914 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7915 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7917 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7918 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7919 error, but didn't set one).
7920 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7922 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7925 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7926 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7929 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7930 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7932 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7933 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7934 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7935 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7936 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7937 OID is not part of the table.
7940 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7941 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7944 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7947 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7948 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7952 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7953 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7955 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7957 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7959 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7960 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7962 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7963 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7965 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7966 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7968 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7969 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7972 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7973 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7976 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7977 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7979 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7980 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7982 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7983 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7985 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7986 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7988 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7989 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7990 unused in the certificate verification process.
7991 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7993 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7994 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7997 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7998 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7999 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8001 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8002 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8003 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8004 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8005 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8007 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8008 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8011 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8014 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8017 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8018 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8020 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8023 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8026 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8029 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8030 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8031 other error libraries.
8034 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8037 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8038 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8042 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8043 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8044 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8045 the new set of documenation files.
8046 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8048 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8049 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8050 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8051 number of arguments.
8052 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8054 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8057 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8058 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8059 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8061 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8064 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8068 unixware-2.0-pentium
8072 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8073 before they are needed.
8076 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8080 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8082 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8083 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8086 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8089 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8090 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8091 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8093 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8094 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8095 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8097 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8098 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8099 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8101 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8102 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8104 *) Updated the README file.
8105 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8107 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8108 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8109 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8111 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8112 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8113 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8115 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8116 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8117 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8118 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8119 o removed obsolete TODO file
8120 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8121 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8123 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8124 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8125 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8126 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8127 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8128 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8131 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8134 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8135 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8136 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8138 [The OpenSSL Project]
8141 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8143 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8146 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8149 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8150 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8153 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8154 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8158 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8160 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8162 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8165 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8168 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8171 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8174 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8177 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8180 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8183 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8186 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8189 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8192 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8195 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8198 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8201 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8204 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8207 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8210 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
