5 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
9 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
10 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
11 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
12 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
13 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
14 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
15 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
17 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
21 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
23 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
24 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
25 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
26 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
27 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
32 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
34 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
35 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
36 configured to send them.
38 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
40 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
41 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
42 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
44 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
46 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
48 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
49 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
50 DigestInfo structures.
52 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
56 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
58 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
59 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
60 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
62 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
63 Group for discovering this issue.
67 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
68 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
69 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
70 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
71 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
73 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
74 researching this issue.
78 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
79 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
80 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
81 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
83 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
88 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
89 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
90 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
94 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
95 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
96 Denial of Service attack.
97 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
101 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
102 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
103 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
104 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
109 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
110 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
111 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
113 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
118 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
119 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
120 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
121 Denial of Service attack.
123 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
124 discovering and researching this issue.
128 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
129 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
130 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
131 output to the attacker.
133 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
135 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
137 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
138 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
139 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
142 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
144 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
145 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
146 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
148 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
149 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
150 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
152 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
153 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
156 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
158 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
160 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
161 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
162 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
163 code on a vulnerable client or server.
165 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
166 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
168 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
169 are subject to a denial of service attack.
171 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
172 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
173 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
175 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
177 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
179 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
181 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
183 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
184 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
186 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
188 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
189 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
192 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
193 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
194 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
195 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
197 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
198 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
199 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
200 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
202 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
203 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
204 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
206 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
208 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
209 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
210 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
211 is at least 512 bytes long.
213 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
215 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
217 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
218 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
219 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
222 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
223 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
224 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
227 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
228 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
229 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
230 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
231 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
232 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
233 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
235 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
237 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
238 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
239 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
241 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
243 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
245 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
246 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
247 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
249 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
250 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
251 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
252 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
254 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
256 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
257 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
258 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
259 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
260 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
264 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
265 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
268 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
269 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
271 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
272 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
273 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
274 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
275 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
277 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
280 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
284 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
286 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
287 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
289 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
290 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
294 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
295 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
298 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
302 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
304 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
305 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
306 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
307 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
308 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
309 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
310 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
311 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
312 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
313 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
316 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
317 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
318 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
319 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
320 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
321 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
325 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
327 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
328 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
329 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
331 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
332 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
334 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
336 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
339 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
340 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
342 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
343 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
344 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
345 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
346 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
347 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
348 Most broken servers should now work.
349 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
350 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
353 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
356 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
358 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
359 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
362 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
363 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
364 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
365 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
366 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
369 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
370 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
371 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
372 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
373 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
376 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
377 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
379 *) Add support for SCTP.
380 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
382 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
383 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
385 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
387 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
388 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
389 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
390 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
391 - s390x: z196 support;
392 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
396 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
397 (removal of unnecessary code)
398 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
400 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
403 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
406 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
407 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
408 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
410 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
412 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
413 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
414 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
415 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
416 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
418 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
419 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
420 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
422 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
423 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
424 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
426 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
427 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
429 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
431 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
432 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
433 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
436 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
437 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
441 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
442 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
443 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
446 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
447 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
448 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
449 the appropriate parameters.
452 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
453 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
454 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
455 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
456 against a number of sample certificates.
459 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
460 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
462 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
463 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
465 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
466 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
470 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
474 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
475 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
476 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
480 *) Session-handling fixes:
481 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
482 but also support Session Tickets.
483 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
484 presented a ticket with an expired session.
485 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
486 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
487 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
488 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
490 *) Fix PSK session representation.
493 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
495 This work was sponsored by Intel.
498 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
499 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
500 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
501 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
502 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
505 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
506 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
509 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
510 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
511 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
514 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
515 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
516 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
517 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
520 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
521 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
522 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
525 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
526 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
528 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
531 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
532 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
535 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
538 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
539 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
542 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
543 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
546 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
549 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
550 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
551 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
554 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
557 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
560 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
561 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
564 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
565 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
566 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
569 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
572 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
576 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
577 FIPS modules versions.
580 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
581 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
582 until after the certificate request message is received.
585 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
586 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
587 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
588 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
591 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
592 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
593 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
594 support yet and no support for client certificates.
597 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
598 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
599 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
600 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
601 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
602 and version checking.
605 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
606 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
607 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
608 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
612 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
614 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
617 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
618 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
619 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
621 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
622 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
623 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
626 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
627 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
629 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
630 a few changes are required:
632 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
634 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
635 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
636 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
639 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
641 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
643 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
644 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
645 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
647 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
648 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
649 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
650 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
652 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
654 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
655 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
658 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
659 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
660 so it returns the certificate actually sent.

665 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
668 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
670 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
673 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
676 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
677 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
681 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
682 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
685 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
687 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
688 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
689 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.

692 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
694 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
696 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
698 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
699 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
700 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
701 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
702 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
703 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
704 an MMA defence is not necessary.
705 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
706 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
709 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
710 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
711 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
714 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
716 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
717 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
718 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
719 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
722 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
724 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
725 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
726 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
727 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
728 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
729 paper describing this attack can be found at:
730 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
731 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
732 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
733 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
734 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
735 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)

761 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
762 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
764 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
765 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
766 [Adam Langley (Google)]
768 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
769 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
770 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
772 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
773 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
774 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
775 the last update always remained unused).
776 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
778 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.

784 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
785 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
787 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
788 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)

791 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
794 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
795 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
796 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
799 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper

818 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
819 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
820 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
823 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
824 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
825 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
828 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
830 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer

832 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864

843 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
845 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
847 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
848 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
849 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
852 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
855 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
856 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
857 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
859 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
860 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
861 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
864 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
865 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
868 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
869 some responders need this.
872 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
874 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
876 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
877 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
878 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
881 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
884 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
885 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
886 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
887 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
888 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
889 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
890 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
891 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
894 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
895 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
896 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
897 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
899 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
900 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
902 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
906 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
907 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
908 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
909 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
910 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
911 attempting to work them out.
914 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
915 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
916 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
917 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
920 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
921 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
922 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
923 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
924 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
927 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
928 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
935 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
937 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
941 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
942 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
944 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
945 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
947 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
948 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
949 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
950 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
951 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
954 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
955 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
956 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
959 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
960 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
963 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
964 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
966 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
967 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
970 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
973 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
974 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
975 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
979 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
980 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
981 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
982 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
983 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
984 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
987 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
988 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
990 This work was sponsored by Google.
993 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
994 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
995 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
996 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
997 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
998 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
999 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1002 This work was sponsored by Google.
1005 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1007 This work was sponsored by Google.
1010 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1011 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1012 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1013 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1015 This work was sponsored by Google.
1018 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1019 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1020 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1021 CRL functionality in future.
1023 This work was sponsored by Google.
1026 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1028 This work was sponsored by Google.
1031 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1032 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1034 This work was sponsored by Google.
1037 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1038 and URI types are currently supported.
1040 This work was sponsored by Google.
1043 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1044 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1045 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1046 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1047 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1048 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1049 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1050 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1052 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1053 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1054 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1056 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1057 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1058 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1059 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1061 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1062 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1063 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1064 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1065 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1066 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1067 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1068 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1070 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1072 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1073 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1074 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1076 This work was sponsored by Google.
1079 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1082 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1083 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1084 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1087 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1088 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1091 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1092 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1095 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1096 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1097 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1098 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1099 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1100 content types and variants.
1103 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1106 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1107 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1108 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1109 files from the associated perl scripts.
1112 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1113 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1114 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1116 *) s390x assembler pack.
1119 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1123 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1124 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1125 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1126 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1127 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1128 to use. For example, specify an option
1130 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1132 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1133 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1134 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1135 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1136 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1137 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1139 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1140 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1141 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1142 return non-zero for success.
1144 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1147 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1148 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1152 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1155 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1156 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1157 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1158 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1159 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1160 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1161 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1162 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1163 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1165 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1166 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1167 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1168 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1169 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1170 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1172 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1173 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1174 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1175 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1176 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1177 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1181 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1184 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1186 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1187 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1188 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1191 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1192 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1195 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1196 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1197 with no application modification.
1199 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1200 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1202 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1203 or server extensions to be examined.
1205 This work was sponsored by Google.
1208 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1209 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1210 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1212 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1213 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1214 ciphersuite support.
1215 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1217 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1218 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1219 to output in BER and PEM format.
1222 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1223 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1224 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1225 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1226 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1229 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1230 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1231 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1235 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1236 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1237 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1238 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1239 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1240 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1241 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1242 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1245 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1246 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1247 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1248 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1250 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1251 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1252 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1256 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1257 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1258 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1259 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1260 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1261 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1262 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1263 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1264 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1266 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1267 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1268 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1269 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1270 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1271 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1272 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1273 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1274 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1275 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1276 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1279 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1280 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1281 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1283 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1284 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1288 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1289 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1290 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1293 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1294 it yet and it is largely untested.
1297 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1300 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1301 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1302 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1305 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1308 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1309 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1310 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1311 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1314 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1315 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1316 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1317 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1318 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1321 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1322 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1325 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1326 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1327 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1328 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1331 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1332 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1333 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1334 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1337 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1338 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1341 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1342 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1343 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1344 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1347 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1348 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1349 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1352 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1356 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1357 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1360 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1361 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1362 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1366 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1367 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1368 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1371 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1372 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1373 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1374 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1377 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1378 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1379 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1380 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1381 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1382 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1385 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1386 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1387 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1388 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1389 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1391 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1392 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1393 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1394 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1395 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1398 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1399 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1400 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1401 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1403 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1404 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1405 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1406 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1407 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1413 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1414 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1418 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1419 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1422 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1423 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1426 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1427 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1428 functional reference processing.
1431 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1432 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1436 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1437 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1438 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1441 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1442 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1443 application to support multiple signers.
1446 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1450 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1451 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1452 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1453 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1454 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1457 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1461 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1462 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1463 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1464 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1468 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1469 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1470 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1471 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1472 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1473 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1474 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1475 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1478 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1479 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1480 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1481 between digests and public key types.
1484 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1485 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1486 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1487 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1490 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1491 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1495 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1498 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1502 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1503 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1504 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1505 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1510 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1512 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1514 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1516 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1517 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1518 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1519 functionality for RSA.
1522 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1523 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1524 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1527 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1528 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1531 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1532 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1533 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1536 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1537 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1540 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1541 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1544 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1545 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1549 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1550 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1551 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1555 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1556 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1557 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1558 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1559 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1560 of public and private key structures.
1563 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1564 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1567 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1568 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1569 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1572 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1576 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1577 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1578 SSL_get_psk_identity
1579 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1581 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1583 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1584 and response verification functionality.
1585 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1587 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1588 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1589 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1590 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1591 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1592 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1593 server_name extension.
1595 New functions (subject to change):
1597 SSL_get_servername()
1598 SSL_get_servername_type()
1601 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1603 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1604 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1605 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1606 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1607 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1609 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1611 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1612 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1613 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1614 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1615 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1616 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1619 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1621 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1624 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1625 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1626 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1627 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1628 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1631 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1632 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1636 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1637 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1638 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1639 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1642 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1643 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1644 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1645 using the maximum available value.
1648 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1649 in addition to the text details.
1652 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1653 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1654 handle several customised structures at all.
1657 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1658 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1659 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1662 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1665 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1666 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1667 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1670 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1671 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1672 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1675 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1676 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1680 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1683 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1686 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
1688 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1690 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1691 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1692 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1694 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1695 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1696 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1697 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1699 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1701 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1702 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1705 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1706 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1707 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1708 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.

1710 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1712 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1715 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
1717 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1720 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1721 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1725 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1726 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1729 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
1731 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
1732 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
1733 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
1734 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
1735 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1737 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
1739 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1740 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1741 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1743 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1744 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1746 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1748 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
1750 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1751 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1752 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1753 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1754 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1755 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1756 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1757 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1758 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1761 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1762 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1763 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1766 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1768 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1769 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1770 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1771 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1774 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1776 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1777 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1778 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1779 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1780 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1781 paper describing this attack can be found at:

1787 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)

1790 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
1791 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1793 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.

1797 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1798 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1799 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)

1807 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1808 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1810 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1811 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1813 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1814 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1815 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1817 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1818 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1819 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1821 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1822 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1823 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1824 the last update always remained unused).
1825 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1827 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1828 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1829 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1831 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1834 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1835 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:

1853 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1854 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1855 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1858 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1859 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1860 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1863 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1865 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1866 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1867 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1870 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1873 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1874 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1875 some broken encodings work correctly.
1878 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1879 is also one of the inputs.
1880 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1882 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1883 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1884 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1888 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1890 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1893 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1894 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1895 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1897 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1898 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1899 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1903 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
1904 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
1905 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
1906 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1908 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1910 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1911 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1912 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1913 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1914 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1915 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1916 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1917 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1919 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1920 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1921 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1923 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1925 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1926 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1928 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1929 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1932 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1933 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1934 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1937 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1938 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1939 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1940 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1941 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1942 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1945 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1946 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1947 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1950 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1951 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1952 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1953 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1954 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1955 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1959 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1960 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1963 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1964 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1965 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1968 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1971 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1972 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1973 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1974 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1975 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1976 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1977 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1978 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1979 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1982 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1983 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1984 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1987 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1988 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1991 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1992 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1993 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1994 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1995 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1996 know what you are doing.
1997 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1999 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2000 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2001 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2002 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2003 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2004 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2008 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2009 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2010 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2012 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2014 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2015 warnings in other configurations.
2018 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2019 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2020 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2022 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2024 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2025 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2026 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2028 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2029 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2030 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2031 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2034 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2038 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2039 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2041 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2043 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2044 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2045 other than a simple chain.
2046 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2048 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2049 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2050 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2051 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2054 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2055 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2056 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2057 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2058 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2059 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2060 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2061 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2062 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2064 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2065 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2066 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2067 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2068 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2069 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2071 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2073 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2074 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2077 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2078 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2081 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2083 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2085 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2086 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2087 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2088 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2089 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2093 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2095 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2096 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2097 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2098 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2100 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2101 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2102 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2103 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2105 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2106 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2107 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2110 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2111 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2115 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2116 to handle some structures.
2119 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2121 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2123 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2126 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2129 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2132 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2133 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2137 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2139 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2141 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2143 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2146 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2147 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2148 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2149 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2151 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2152 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2154 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2155 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2158 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2159 s_client and s_server.
2162 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2163 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2165 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2166 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2168 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2169 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2170 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2171 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2172 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2175 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2177 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2178 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2181 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2182 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2185 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2186 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2187 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2188 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2190 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2191 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2193 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2195 *) Various precautionary measures:
2197 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2199 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2200 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2201 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2203 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2204 outside the expected range.
2206 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2209 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2211 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2212 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2213 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2215 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2218 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2221 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2223 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2226 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2227 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2228 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2230 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2233 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2234 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2235 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2239 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2241 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2242 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2243 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2244 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2246 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2247 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2250 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2252 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2253 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2254 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2256 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2258 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2259 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2260 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2261 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2264 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2265 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2266 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2267 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2268 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2269 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2270 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2272 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2274 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2275 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2276 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2277 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2278 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2280 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2281 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2283 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2284 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2285 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2286 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2287 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2289 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2291 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2292 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2293 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2294 sets may exist with different names.
2297 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2298 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2299 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2300 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2301 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2302 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2303 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2304 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2305 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2307 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2309 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2310 implemention in the following ways:
2312 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2315 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2316 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2317 ignored for embedded content.
2319 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2320 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2323 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2324 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2325 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2326 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2328 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2329 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2332 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2333 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2336 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2337 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2338 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2339 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2340 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2341 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2345 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2346 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2347 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2351 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2352 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2353 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2354 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2355 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2356 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2357 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2358 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2360 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2361 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2362 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2363 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2364 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2365 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2366 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2368 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2369 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2370 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2371 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2372 to s_client and s_server.
2375 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2377 *) Fix various bugs:
2378 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2379 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2380 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2381 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2382 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2384 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2386 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2387 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2388 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2389 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2390 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2391 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2392 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2393 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2396 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2397 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2398 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2401 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2402 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2403 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2406 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2407 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2410 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2411 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2412 with no application modification.
2414 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2415 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2417 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2418 or server extensions to be examined.
2420 This work was sponsored by Google.
2423 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2424 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2425 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2426 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2427 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2428 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2429 server_name extension.
2431 New functions (subject to change):
2433 SSL_get_servername()
2434 SSL_get_servername_type()
2437 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2439 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2440 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2441 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2442 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2443 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2445 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2447 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2448 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2449 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2450 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2451 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2452 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2455 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2457 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2460 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2463 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2464 (which previously caused an internal error).
2467 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2470 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2471 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2473 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2474 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2475 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2477 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2478 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2479 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2480 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2482 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2483 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2484 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2485 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2487 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2488 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2489 information. For detailed background information, see
2490 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2491 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2492 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2493 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2494 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2495 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2496 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2497 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2498 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2499 remove a conditional branch.
2501 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2502 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2503 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2504 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2505 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2506 remains as a deprecated alias.
2508 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2509 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2510 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2511 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2513 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2514 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2515 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2516 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2517 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2518 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2519 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2520 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2522 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2524 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2525 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2526 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2527 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2528 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2529 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2530 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2531 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2532 in a different context.
2535 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2536 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2537 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2540 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2541 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2542 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2544 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2546 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2547 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2548 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2549 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2550 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2553 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2554 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2555 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2556 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2557 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2558 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2561 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2562 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2563 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2564 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2565 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2568 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2569 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2571 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2572 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2573 Improve header file function name parsing.
2576 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2577 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2580 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2582 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2583 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2584 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2586 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2587 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2589 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2590 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2592 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2593 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2594 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2596 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2597 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2598 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2599 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2600 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2601 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2602 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2603 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2604 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2606 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2607 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2608 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2609 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2610 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2612 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2613 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2614 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2615 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2616 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2617 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2618 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2619 multiple values to extend the available space.
2623 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2625 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2626 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2628 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2631 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2632 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2633 undesirable limitations.
2634 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2636 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2637 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2638 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2639 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2640 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2641 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2642 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2645 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2647 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2648 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2649 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2651 The latter two were purportedly from
2652 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2655 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2656 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2657 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2660 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2661 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2664 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2665 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2666 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2667 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2669 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2670 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2671 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2674 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2675 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2676 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2677 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2678 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2679 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2682 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2684 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2685 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2688 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2689 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2691 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2692 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2693 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2694 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2697 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2698 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2701 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2702 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2703 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2704 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2705 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2706 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2707 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2711 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2712 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2713 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2714 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2717 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2718 under VC++ build system.
2721 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2722 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2725 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2727 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2728 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2729 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2730 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2731 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2733 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2734 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2735 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2737 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2740 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2741 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2744 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2745 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2747 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2750 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2751 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2753 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2754 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2757 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2758 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2762 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2764 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2767 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2770 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2771 key into the same file any more.
2774 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2777 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2778 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2780 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2781 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2784 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2785 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2786 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2787 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2788 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2789 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2791 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2792 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2793 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2796 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2797 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2798 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2799 - add new function for parameter creation
2800 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2801 BN_BLINDING parameters
2802 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2803 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2804 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2808 *) Add support for DTLS.
2809 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2811 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2812 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2815 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2816 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2819 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2820 the apps/openssl applications.
2823 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2824 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2825 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2828 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2829 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2831 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2832 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2834 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2835 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2836 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2837 avoid this algorithm.)
2841 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2842 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2843 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2846 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2847 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2850 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2851 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2852 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2855 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2857 The blank line is mandatory.
2861 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2862 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2866 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2867 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2869 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2870 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2871 to support policy checking and print out.
2874 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2875 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2876 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2877 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2879 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2882 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2883 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2885 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2886 implementation contributed by IBM.
2887 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2889 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2890 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2891 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2892 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2894 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2895 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2897 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2898 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2899 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2900 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2901 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2902 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2905 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2906 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2907 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2908 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2909 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2910 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2911 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2914 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2917 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2918 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2919 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2920 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2921 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2922 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2923 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2924 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2927 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2928 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2929 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2930 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2933 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2936 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2939 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2940 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2941 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2942 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2943 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2944 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2945 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2948 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2949 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2952 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2953 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2954 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2957 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2958 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2959 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2963 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2964 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2967 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2968 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2969 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2970 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2973 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2974 initialised value as BN_new().
2975 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2977 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2980 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2981 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2982 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2983 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2984 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2985 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2986 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2987 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2988 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2989 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2990 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2991 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2992 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2993 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2994 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2996 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2997 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2998 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2999 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3002 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3003 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3004 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3005 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3006 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3007 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3008 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3009 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3010 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3013 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3014 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3015 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3016 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3017 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3018 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3019 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3022 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3023 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3024 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3025 these have been updated also.
3028 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3029 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3030 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3031 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3032 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3036 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3037 structure of type "other".
3040 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3041 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3042 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3043 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3044 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3045 situation in the script.
3046 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3048 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3049 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3050 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3051 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3052 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3053 used as premaster secret.
3054 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3056 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3057 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3058 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3060 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3061 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3063 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3064 control of the error stack.
3067 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3070 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3071 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3072 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3073 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3076 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3077 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3078 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3081 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3082 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3083 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3087 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3088 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3089 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3090 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3093 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3094 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3095 the following flags are defined:
3097 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3098 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3099 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3102 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3103 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3104 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3105 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3109 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3110 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3111 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3112 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3113 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3116 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3117 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3118 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3121 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3122 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3123 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3124 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3125 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3126 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3129 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3133 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3136 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3139 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3142 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3143 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3144 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3145 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3146 default implementation more easily.
3149 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3153 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3154 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3157 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3158 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3159 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3160 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3162 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3163 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3164 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3165 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3168 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3169 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3173 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3174 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3175 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3176 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3177 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3178 scalar * generator).
3179 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3181 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3182 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3183 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3187 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3188 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3189 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3190 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3191 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3192 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3193 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3194 linker additions, eg;
3195 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3198 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3199 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3200 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3203 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3204 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3205 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3209 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3210 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3211 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3212 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3215 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3216 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3217 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3218 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3219 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3220 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3221 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3222 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3223 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3224 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3226 Example for using the new callback interface:
3228 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3232 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3234 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3235 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3236 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3237 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3238 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3239 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3244 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3245 available to TLS with the number defined in
3246 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3249 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3250 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3252 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3253 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3254 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3255 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3257 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3258 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3260 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3261 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3265 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3266 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3269 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3270 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3271 and a macro that behave like
3272 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3274 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3277 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3278 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3279 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3281 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3283 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3286 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3287 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3288 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3289 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3291 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3292 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3293 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3294 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3295 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3296 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3297 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3298 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3300 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3301 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3304 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3305 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3307 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3308 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3309 files while avoiding the low level API.
3311 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3312 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3313 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3314 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3316 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3317 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3318 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3319 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3320 instead of the low level API.
3323 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3324 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3325 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3326 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3327 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3330 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3331 down to the template encoder.
3334 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3335 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3338 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3339 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3340 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3341 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3343 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3344 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3346 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3347 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3349 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3350 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3353 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3354 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3355 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3358 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3359 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3361 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3362 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3364 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3365 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3368 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3372 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3373 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3374 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3375 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3376 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3377 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3379 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3380 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3383 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3384 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3385 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3386 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3387 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3388 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3389 various internal method names.)
3391 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3392 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3394 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3395 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3397 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3398 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3400 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3401 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3402 methods are undefined.
3404 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3405 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3407 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3408 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3409 length of the modulus.
3411 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3412 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3414 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3415 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3417 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3418 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3420 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3421 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3422 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3425 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3426 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3427 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3428 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3430 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3431 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3432 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3433 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3435 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3436 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3438 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3439 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3440 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3441 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3442 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3444 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3445 This applies to the following functions:
3450 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3451 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3453 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3454 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3458 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3463 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3465 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3466 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3467 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3468 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3469 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3471 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3472 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3474 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3475 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3476 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3478 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3479 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3481 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3482 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3483 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3484 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3485 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3487 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3489 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3490 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3491 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3492 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3493 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3494 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3495 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3496 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3497 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3498 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3499 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3500 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3502 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3505 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3506 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3507 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3508 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3510 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3511 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3512 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3513 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3518 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3519 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3520 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3521 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3522 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3524 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3525 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3526 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3527 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3528 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3529 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3530 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3531 adding different types of curves.
3532 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3534 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3535 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3536 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3539 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3540 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3542 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3543 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3544 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3545 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3547 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3549 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3550 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3552 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3553 library. Most notably,
3554 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3555 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3556 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3557 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3558 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3559 extracted before the specific public key;
3560 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3561 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3563 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3564 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3566 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3567 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3568 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3569 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3571 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3572 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3573 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3575 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3576 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3577 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3578 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3579 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3580 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3584 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3586 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3588 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3590 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3591 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3592 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3595 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3596 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3597 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3600 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3603 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3604 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3607 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3608 run algorithm test programs.
3611 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3614 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3615 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3616 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3617 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3618 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3621 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3622 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3625 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3627 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3628 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3629 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3631 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3632 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3634 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3635 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3637 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3638 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3639 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3641 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3642 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3643 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3644 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3645 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3646 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3647 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3650 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3652 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3653 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3655 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3656 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3657 undesirable limitations.
3658 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3660 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3662 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3663 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3664 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3666 The latter two were purportedly from
3667 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3670 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3671 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3672 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3675 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3676 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3679 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3681 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3682 module in FIPS mode.
3685 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3688 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3689 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3690 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3691 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3694 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3696 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3697 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3698 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3699 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3700 the difference induced by this change.
3703 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3705 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3706 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3707 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3708 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3709 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3711 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3712 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3713 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3715 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3716 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3719 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3720 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3721 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3722 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3726 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3727 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3728 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3729 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3730 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3732 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3733 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3734 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3735 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3736 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3737 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3739 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3741 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3742 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3743 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3744 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3745 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3748 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3752 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3753 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3754 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3757 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3758 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3759 structures constant.
3762 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3764 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3767 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3768 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3769 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3770 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3771 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3772 some needed definitions.
3775 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3778 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3779 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3780 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3781 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3784 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3786 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3787 server and client random values. Previously
3788 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3789 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3791 This change has negligible security impact because:
3793 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3796 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3799 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3800 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3803 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3806 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3808 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3811 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3812 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3813 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3815 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3818 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3819 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3822 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3823 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3824 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3826 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3829 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3830 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3831 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3835 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3836 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3837 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3838 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3840 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3841 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3842 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3843 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3847 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3849 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3850 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3851 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3852 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3853 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3856 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3859 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3860 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3862 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3863 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3864 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3865 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3866 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3867 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3868 rather than being initialized to 1.
3871 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3873 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3874 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3875 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3877 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3879 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3881 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3882 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3883 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3884 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3885 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3886 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3889 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3890 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3891 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3892 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3893 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3897 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3898 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3899 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3900 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3901 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3904 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3905 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3906 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3910 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3911 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3913 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3916 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3918 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3920 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3921 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3923 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3925 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3926 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3930 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3931 exiting on the first error in a request.
3934 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3935 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3939 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3940 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3941 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3942 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3944 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3945 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3948 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3949 blocks during encryption.
3952 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3953 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3954 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3955 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3959 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3960 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3961 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3962 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3963 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3967 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3969 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3970 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3971 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3972 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3975 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3976 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3977 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3978 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3979 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3981 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3982 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3983 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3984 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3985 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3986 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3987 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3988 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3989 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3992 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3993 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3994 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3995 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3998 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3999 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4002 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4004 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4005 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4006 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4007 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4008 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4010 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4011 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4012 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4014 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4015 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4016 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4017 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4018 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4020 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4021 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4022 used by default when no-err is given.
4025 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4026 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4028 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4029 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4030 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4031 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4032 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4034 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4035 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4036 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4037 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4039 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4041 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4043 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4045 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4046 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4047 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4048 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4052 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4053 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4055 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4056 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4059 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4060 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4061 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4062 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4065 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4066 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4067 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4068 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4069 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4070 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4071 followup to PR #377.
4074 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4075 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4078 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4079 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4080 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

4102 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4103 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4104 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4105 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4106 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4107 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4109 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4110 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4111 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4112 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4113 have to be made anyway).
4116 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4117 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4118 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4121 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4122 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4123 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.

4127 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

4209 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4210 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4212 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4213 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4215 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4216 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4218 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4220 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4221 the 0.9.6 release series:
4223 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4224 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4226 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4228 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4231 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4232 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4234 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4235 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4237 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4238 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4239 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4240 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4242 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4243 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4244 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4246 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4247 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4248 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4249 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4251 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4252 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4253 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4256 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4257 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4258 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4259 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4260 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4261 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4262 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4263 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4266 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4267 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4268 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4271 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4272 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4273 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4274 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4275 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4277 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4278 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4280 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4281 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4284 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4285 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4286 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4287 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4288 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4289 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4292 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4293 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4294 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4297 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4298 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4301 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4302 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4303 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4304 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4305 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4306 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4307 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4310 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4311 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4312 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4313 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4314 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4315 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4318 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4319 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4320 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4321 declaration has been changed from
4324 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4325 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4326 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4327 has been changed into
4328 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4330 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4331 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4332 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4334 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4335 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4337 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4338 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4339 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4340 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4341 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4342 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4343 always load it have also been added.
4346 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4347 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4348 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4350 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4352 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4353 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4354 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4356 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4357 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4358 command line option can be used to specify an
4362 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4363 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4366 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4367 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4368 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4371 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4372 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4373 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4374 to work with the new engine framework.
4375 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4377 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4378 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4379 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4380 to work with the new engine framework.
4383 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4384 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4385 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4387 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4388 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4390 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4391 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4392 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4393 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4395 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4397 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4398 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4400 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4401 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4403 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4404 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4405 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4408 *) Add new functions
4410 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4411 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4412 These are similar to
4415 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4416 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4417 still in the error queue.
4418 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4420 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4422 default_algorithms = ALL
4423 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4426 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4429 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4432 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4433 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4434 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4435 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4437 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4438 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4440 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4441 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4443 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4444 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4447 *) New functions/macros
4449 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4450 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4451 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4452 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4454 to request calling a callback function
4456 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4457 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4459 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4460 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4461 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4462 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4463 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4464 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4465 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4466 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4467 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4468 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4470 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4471 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4474 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4475 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4476 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4477 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4478 the configuration scripts.
4480 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4481 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4482 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4484 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4485 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4487 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4488 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4489 when reusing an existing buffer.
4492 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4493 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4496 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4497 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4500 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4501 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4502 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4503 has the same effect.
4504 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4506 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4507 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4508 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4509 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4510 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4511 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4514 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4515 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4516 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4517 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4519 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4520 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4521 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4522 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4524 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4525 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4528 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4529 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4530 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4531 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4532 default), and then completely removed.
4535 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4536 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4537 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4538 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4539 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4540 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4541 particular extension is supported.
4544 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4545 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4548 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4549 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4550 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4551 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4552 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4553 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4554 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4555 requires the destination to be valid.
4557 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4558 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4561 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4562 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4563 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4566 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4567 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4569 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4570 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4571 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4572 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4573 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4574 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4575 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4576 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4577 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4578 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4579 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4580 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4581 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4582 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4583 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4584 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4585 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4586 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4587 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4591 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4594 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4595 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4596 become part of libeay.num as well.
4599 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4600 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4601 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4602 false once a handshake has been completed.
4603 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4604 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4605 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4606 client has followed the request.)
4609 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4610 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4611 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4612 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4614 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4615 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4616 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4619 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4622 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4623 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4624 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4627 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4628 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4631 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4632 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4633 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4634 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4637 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4638 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4639 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4640 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4641 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4642 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4645 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4646 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4647 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4648 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4649 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4650 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4651 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4652 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4655 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4656 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4659 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4662 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4663 md_data void pointer.
4666 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4667 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4668 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4669 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4670 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4671 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4674 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4675 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4676 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4677 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4678 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4679 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4680 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4681 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4682 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4683 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4684 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4685 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4686 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4687 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4688 rather than letting it slide.
4690 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4691 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4692 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4695 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4696 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4697 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4698 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4699 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4700 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4701 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4702 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4703 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4706 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4707 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4708 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4709 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4710 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4712 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4715 *) Add EVP test program.
4718 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4721 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4722 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4723 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4724 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4725 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4728 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4729 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4730 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4731 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4732 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4733 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4734 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4736 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4737 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4738 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4743 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4744 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4745 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4746 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4747 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4751 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4752 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4753 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4754 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4757 des_key_schedule ks;
4759 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4760 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4762 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4765 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4766 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4767 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4768 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4769 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4770 functions prevents this.
4773 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4776 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4777 correct _ecb suffix.
4780 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4781 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4782 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4783 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4784 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4787 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4790 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4791 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4792 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4793 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4795 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4796 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4798 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4799 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4800 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4801 via Richard Levitte]
4803 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4804 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4805 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4806 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4809 *) Speed up EVP routines.

4827 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4828 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4830 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4831 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4832 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4833 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4834 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4835 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4838 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4839 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4842 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4843 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4844 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4845 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4847 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4848 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4849 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4850 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4851 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4852 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4856 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4857 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4858 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4859 and interrupts/cancellations.
4862 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4863 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4866 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4867 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4868 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4870 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4871 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4875 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4876 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4877 than this minimum value is recommended.
4880 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4881 that are easily reachable.
4884 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4885 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4887 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4889 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4890 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4891 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4892 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4895 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4896 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4897 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4900 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4901 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4902 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4903 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4904 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4905 internally such as S/MIME.
4907 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4908 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4909 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4911 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4915 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4916 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4917 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4918 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4920 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4922 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4924 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4925 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4926 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4930 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4931 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4932 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4933 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4934 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4935 a window system and the like.
4938 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4939 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4942 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4943 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4944 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4945 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4946 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4947 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4948 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4949 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4950 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4954 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4955 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4959 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4960 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4961 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4962 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4963 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4964 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4965 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4966 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4969 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4970 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4971 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4972 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4973 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4974 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4975 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4976 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4977 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4978 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4979 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4980 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4981 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4982 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4983 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4984 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4985 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4988 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4989 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4990 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4991 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4992 internal engine_int.h header.
4995 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4996 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4997 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4998 modify their own ones).
5001 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5002 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5003 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5004 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5005 later on via ctrl() commands.
5006 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5007 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5008 structural references.
5009 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5010 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5011 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5012 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5013 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5014 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5015 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5016 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5017 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5018 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5019 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5020 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5023 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5024 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5025 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5026 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5027 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5028 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5029 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5030 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5033 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5034 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5037 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5038 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5041 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5042 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5043 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5044 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5045 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5046 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5047 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5050 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5051 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5052 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5053 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5054 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5056 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5057 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5061 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5063 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5064 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5065 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5067 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5068 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5070 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5071 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5072 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5074 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5075 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5077 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5078 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5080 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5082 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5083 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5084 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5087 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5088 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5091 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5092 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5093 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5094 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5095 is 40 of more characters long.
5098 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5099 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5103 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5104 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5107 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5108 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5112 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5114 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5115 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5118 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5120 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5121 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5122 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5124 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5125 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5127 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5130 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5134 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5135 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5136 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5137 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5139 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5141 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5142 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5144 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5145 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5146 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5147 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5148 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5149 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5151 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5152 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5154 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5155 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5157 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5158 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5160 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5161 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5162 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5163 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5165 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5166 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5168 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5169 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5171 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5172 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5173 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5174 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5175 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5178 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5179 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5180 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5181 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5184 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5185 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5186 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5190 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5191 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5192 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5193 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5194 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5195 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5196 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5197 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5201 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5202 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5205 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5206 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5207 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5208 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5211 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5212 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5213 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5214 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5215 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5216 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5217 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5218 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5219 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5220 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5223 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5224 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5225 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5226 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5227 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5228 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5229 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5230 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5232 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5233 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5234 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5235 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5238 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5239 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5240 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5241 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5243 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5244 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5245 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5246 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5247 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5251 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5252 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5253 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5254 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5258 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5259 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5260 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5263 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5264 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5265 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5266 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5267 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5270 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5273 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5274 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5275 option to ocsp utility.
5278 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5279 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5280 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5281 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5282 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5283 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5284 the request is nonce-less.
5287 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5288 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5289 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5292 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5293 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5294 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5297 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5298 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5299 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5300 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5301 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5304 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5305 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5309 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5310 additional certificates supplied.
5313 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5314 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5318 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5319 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5322 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5323 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5324 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5325 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5326 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5327 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5328 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5329 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5330 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5332 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5333 request to response.
5336 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5337 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5338 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5339 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5340 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5341 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5342 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5343 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5344 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5345 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5346 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5349 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5350 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5351 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5352 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5355 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5356 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5358 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5359 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5360 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5363 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5364 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5365 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5366 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5367 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5369 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5370 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5371 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5374 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5375 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5376 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5377 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5378 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5379 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5380 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5381 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5383 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5384 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5385 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5386 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5387 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5388 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5391 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5392 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5393 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5394 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5395 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5396 printout format cleaned up.
5399 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5400 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5401 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5402 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5403 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5404 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5405 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5406 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5409 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5410 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5411 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5412 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5413 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5414 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5415 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5416 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5419 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5420 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5421 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5422 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5424 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5426 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5427 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5428 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5429 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5432 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5433 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5434 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5435 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5437 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5439 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5440 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5441 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5442 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5444 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5445 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5447 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5448 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5449 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5452 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5453 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5454 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5457 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5458 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5459 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5460 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5461 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5462 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5463 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5464 functions are provided:
5466 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5467 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5468 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5469 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5471 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5472 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5473 extended allocation function is enabled.
5474 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5475 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5476 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5478 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5479 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5480 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5481 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5482 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5485 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5486 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5487 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5489 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5490 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5491 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5494 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5495 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5496 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5497 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5498 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5499 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5500 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5501 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5502 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5505 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5506 provide utility functions which an application needing
5507 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5508 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5509 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5511 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5512 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5513 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5514 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5515 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5516 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5517 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5518 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5519 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5521 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5522 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5523 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5524 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5527 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5528 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5529 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5530 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5531 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5532 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5533 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5534 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5535 will be added elsewhere.
5538 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5539 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5540 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5541 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5544 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5545 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5546 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5547 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5548 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5549 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5550 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5551 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5552 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5553 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5554 to produce the required SET OF.
5557 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5558 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5559 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5562 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5563 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5564 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5565 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5566 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5567 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5570 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5571 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5572 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5575 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5576 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5577 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5580 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5581 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5582 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5583 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5584 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5587 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5588 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5591 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5592 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5593 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5594 certifcates and CRLs.
5597 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5598 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5599 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5602 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5603 entries for variables.
5606 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5607 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5608 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5609 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5612 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5613 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5614 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5615 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5616 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5617 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5620 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5621 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5623 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5624 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5625 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5628 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5632 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5633 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5634 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5635 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5636 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5637 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5640 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5643 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5644 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5645 for now but they will eventually go away.
5648 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5649 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5650 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5651 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5652 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5653 has also been converted to the new form.
5656 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5657 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5658 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5659 for negative moduli.
5662 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5663 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5666 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5670 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5671 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5672 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5673 type-specific callbacks.
5676 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5678 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5679 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5681 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5682 in sections depending on the subject.
5685 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5689 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5690 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5691 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5692 be handled deterministically).
5693 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5695 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5696 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5697 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5700 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5703 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5704 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5705 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5706 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5707 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5710 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5711 sign of the number in question.
5713 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5715 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5716 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5717 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5718 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5719 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5722 *) New function BN_swap.
5725 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5726 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5727 results on negative inputs.
5730 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5731 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5732 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5735 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5736 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5737 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5738 and add new functions:
5747 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5751 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5753 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5754 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5756 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5757 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5758 be reduced modulo m.
5759 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5762 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5763 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5764 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5766 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5767 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5768 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5769 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5770 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5771 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5776 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5777 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5778 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5779 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5780 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5782 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5783 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5784 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5788 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5791 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5792 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5795 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5796 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5797 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5798 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5802 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5805 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5808 *) Add the following functions:
5810 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5812 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5814 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5816 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5817 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5818 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5819 libraries unless it's really needed.
5821 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5822 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5823 declarations (they differed!).
5826 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5829 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5832 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5835 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5836 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5839 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5840 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5841 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5843 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5844 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5847 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5850 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5853 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5856 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5857 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5858 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5860 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5861 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5862 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5863 different shared library filenames on each system.
5866 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5869 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5870 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5871 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5873 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5876 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5877 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5878 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5879 binary backward compatibility.
5880 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5881 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5882 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5886 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5887 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5888 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5889 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5893 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5896 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5897 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5898 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5899 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5903 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5906 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5908 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5909 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5910 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5912 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5914 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5916 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5917 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5920 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5922 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5924 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5925 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5927 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5928 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5932 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5933 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5937 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5938 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5939 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5940 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5942 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5943 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5946 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5948 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5949 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5950 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5951 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5954 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5955 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5956 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5957 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5958 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5960 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5961 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5962 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5963 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5964 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5965 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5966 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5967 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5968 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5971 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5973 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5974 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5975 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5976 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5977 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5979 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5980 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5981 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5983 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5985 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5986 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5987 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5988 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5989 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5990 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5993 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5994 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5995 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5996 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5997 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6000 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6001 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6002 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6004 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6005 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6006 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6010 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6011 being properly terminated.
6014 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6015 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6016 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6017 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6019 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6020 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6021 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6022 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6023 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6024 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6025 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6027 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6029 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6030 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6033 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6034 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6035 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6036 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6037 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6038 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6039 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6040 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6042 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6043 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6044 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6045 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6046 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6048 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6049 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6052 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6054 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6055 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6056 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6058 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6060 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6061 and get fix the header length calculation.
6062 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6063 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6066 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6067 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6068 assertions could call abort()).
6069 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6071 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6073 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6074 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6075 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6077 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6079 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6080 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6081 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6084 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6088 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6089 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6090 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6092 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6093 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6094 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6095 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6096 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6100 *) Changes in security patch:
6102 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6103 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6104 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6107 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6108 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6109 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6110 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6111 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6113 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6115 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6117 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6118 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6119 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6121 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6122 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6123 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6125 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6126 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6127 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6129 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6131 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6132 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6133 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6135 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6136 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6138 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6139 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6140 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6141 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6142 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6143 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6146 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6147 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6148 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6149 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6152 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6155 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6156 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6157 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6158 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6159 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6160 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6162 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6163 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6164 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6165 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6166 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6169 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6170 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6171 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6172 BN_generate_prime().)
6174 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6175 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6176 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6180 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6181 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6184 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6185 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6186 when using non-blocking I/O.
6187 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6189 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6190 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6192 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6193 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6196 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6197 configuration for the versions before that.
6198 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6200 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6201 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6202 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6203 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6206 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6207 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6208 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6211 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6215 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6216 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6217 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6219 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6220 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6222 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6223 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6224 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6225 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6226 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6227 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6228 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6231 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6232 using a local variable.
6233 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6235 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6236 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6237 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6239 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6242 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6243 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6245 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6246 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6247 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6249 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6251 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6252 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6253 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6254 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6257 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6261 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6262 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6263 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6264 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6265 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6267 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6268 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6269 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6271 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6272 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6273 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6275 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6276 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6277 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6278 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6280 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6281 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6282 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6284 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6286 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6287 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6289 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6291 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6292 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6293 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6294 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6296 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6297 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6298 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6299 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6301 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6302 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6304 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6305 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6306 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6309 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6310 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6311 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6313 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6315 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6316 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6317 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6318 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6319 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6320 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6321 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6324 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6325 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6326 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6327 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6329 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6330 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6331 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6332 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6333 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6334 the client will at least see that alert.
6337 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6341 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6342 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6343 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6345 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6346 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6347 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6348 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6351 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6352 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6353 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6355 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6356 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6357 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6358 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6359 may leak via logfiles.)
6361 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6362 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6363 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6364 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6368 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6369 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6372 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6373 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6374 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6375 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6376 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6379 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6380 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6382 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6383 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6384 followed by modular reduction.
6385 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6387 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6388 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6391 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6392 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6393 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6394 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6397 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6400 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6401 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6404 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6405 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6406 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6407 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6408 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6409 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6411 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6413 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6414 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6415 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6416 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6417 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6419 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6422 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6423 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6424 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6425 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6426 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6427 to allow the necessary settings.
6430 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6431 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6432 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6433 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6436 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6437 dh->length and always used
6439 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6441 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6442 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6443 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6444 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6445 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6450 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6452 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1

6464 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6465 always reject numbers >= n.
6468 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6469 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6470 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6471 variable) is not atomic.
6474 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6475 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6476 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6477 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6479 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6480 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6482 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6484 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6486 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6489 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6491 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6492 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6493 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6494 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6495 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6496 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6497 to traverse all of 'state'.
6499 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6500 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6501 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6503 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6504 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6506 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6507 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6508 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6509 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6510 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6511 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6512 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6513 further strengthens the PRNG.
6516 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6519 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6520 an error message in this case.
6523 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6526 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6527 positive and less than q.
6530 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6531 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6533 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6535 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6536 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6540 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6542 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6543 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6544 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6545 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6546 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6547 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6548 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6551 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6552 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6553 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6554 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6556 Both problems are now fixed.
6559 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6560 (previously it was 1024).
6563 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6564 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6567 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6570 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6571 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6572 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6575 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6576 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6577 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6578 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6579 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6580 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6581 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6582 environment variables.
6584 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6585 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6586 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6589 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6590 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6591 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6592 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6593 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6594 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6597 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6601 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6603 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6604 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6606 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6607 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6608 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6609 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6613 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6614 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6615 amount of data available.
6616 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6617 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6619 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6620 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6621 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6622 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6625 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6626 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6630 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6631 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6632 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6633 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6636 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6639 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6642 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6643 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6645 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6647 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6648 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6649 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6650 (but broken) behaviour.
6653 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6655 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6657 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6658 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6661 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6665 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6666 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6668 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6671 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6672 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6673 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6675 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6676 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6677 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6680 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6681 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6684 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6685 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6687 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6689 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6691 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6692 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6693 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6694 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6697 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6700 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6701 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6702 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6704 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6707 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6709 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6710 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6711 but the code is actually correct.
6714 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6715 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6716 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6717 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6718 and leaves the highest bit random.
6719 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6721 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6722 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6723 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6724 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6725 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6726 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6727 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6730 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6733 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6734 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6737 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6738 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6739 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6740 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6744 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6745 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6746 and break the signature.
6748 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6750 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6754 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6755 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6756 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6757 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6758 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6761 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6762 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6764 *) ./config script fixes.
6765 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6767 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6770 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6771 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6772 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6773 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6774 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6776 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6777 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6780 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6781 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6784 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6785 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6786 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6787 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6789 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6790 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6792 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6793 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6794 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6795 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6796 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6798 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6801 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6804 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6807 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6810 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6811 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6814 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6815 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6816 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6817 result of the server certificate verification.)
6820 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6821 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6822 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6826 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6827 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6828 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6829 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6830 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6831 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6832 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6833 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6836 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6837 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6838 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6839 happening the other way round.
6842 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6843 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6846 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6847 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6848 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6849 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6852 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6853 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6855 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6857 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6858 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6859 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6862 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6864 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6866 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6870 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6872 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6873 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6874 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6875 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6876 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6878 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6879 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6883 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6886 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6888 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6889 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6890 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6891 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6892 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6893 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6894 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6895 by the Finished messages.
6898 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6899 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6901 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6902 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6903 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6904 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6905 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6909 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6910 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6911 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6912 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6913 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6914 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6915 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6916 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6917 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6921 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6922 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6923 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6924 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6926 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6927 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6928 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6929 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6930 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6933 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6934 been tested well enough.
6937 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6938 it can return incorrect results.
6939 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6940 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6943 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6944 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6945 include zero length content when signing messages.
6948 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6949 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6952 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6955 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6959 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6960 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6961 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6962 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6963 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6964 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6967 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6968 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6970 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6971 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6973 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6974 random number < q in the DSA library.
6977 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6978 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6979 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6980 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6981 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6982 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6983 just makes things more complicated.)
6986 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6990 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6991 work better on such systems.
6992 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6994 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6995 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6996 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6999 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7000 if there was more than one signature.
7001 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7003 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7004 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7005 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7006 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7009 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7010 rather than always using the current time.
7013 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7014 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7015 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7016 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7017 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7018 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7020 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7021 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7023 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7025 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7026 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7027 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7028 the same hash value.
7030 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7031 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7032 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7033 with X509_STORE internally.
7035 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7036 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7038 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7039 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7040 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7041 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7042 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7043 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7044 entirely (maybe later...).
7046 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7048 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7049 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7050 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7051 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7052 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7053 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7054 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7055 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7057 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7058 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7060 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7061 to customise the verify behaviour.
7064 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7065 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7068 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7069 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7070 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7071 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7072 request is improperly encoded.
7075 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7076 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7079 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7080 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7082 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7083 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7087 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7088 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7089 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7092 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7093 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7094 BIO/fp routines also added.
7097 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7098 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7100 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7101 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7102 demos/state_machine.
7105 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7106 generation and verification.
7109 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7110 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7111 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7112 encode and decode it manually.
7115 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7117 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7119 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7120 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7121 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7122 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7124 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7125 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7126 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7127 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7128 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7131 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7134 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7135 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7136 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7138 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7139 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7140 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7141 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7142 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7143 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7144 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7145 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7147 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7148 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7150 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7152 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7153 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7154 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7158 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7159 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7160 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7161 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7165 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7167 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7170 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7171 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7172 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7173 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7174 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7175 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7176 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7177 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7178 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7179 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7180 short or long names are found.
7183 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7184 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7186 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7187 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7188 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7189 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7191 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7192 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7193 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7194 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7197 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7198 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7199 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7202 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7203 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7204 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7205 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7206 to allow the various flags to be set.
7209 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7210 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7211 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7212 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7213 dates to be checked.
7216 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7217 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7218 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7221 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7222 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7223 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7226 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7227 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7230 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7231 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7232 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7233 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7234 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7235 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7238 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7239 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7243 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7247 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7248 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7249 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7250 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7251 form signing output easier to verify.
7254 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7257 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7258 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7259 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7260 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7261 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7262 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7263 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7264 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7265 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7266 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7269 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7271 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7272 the syntax given in objects.README.
7273 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7275 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7278 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7279 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7280 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7281 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7282 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7283 consistent name changes.
7286 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7289 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7290 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7291 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7292 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7295 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7296 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7297 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7301 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7302 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7303 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7304 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7307 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7308 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7309 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7310 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7311 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7312 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7313 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7314 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7315 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7316 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7317 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7320 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7321 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7322 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7323 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7324 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7325 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7326 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7327 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7328 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7329 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7332 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7333 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7334 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7335 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7337 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7338 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7339 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7340 omit any duplicate addresses.
7343 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7344 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7347 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7348 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7349 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7350 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7351 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7354 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7356 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7357 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7358 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7359 Free => OPENSSL_free
7362 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7363 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7366 *) CygWin32 support.
7367 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7369 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7370 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7371 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7372 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7373 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7377 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7378 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7379 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7380 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7381 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7382 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7383 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7386 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7387 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7388 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7389 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7390 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7391 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7392 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7393 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7394 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7395 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7396 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7399 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7400 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7401 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7402 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7403 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7405 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7406 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7407 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7408 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7409 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7411 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7414 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7415 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7416 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7417 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7419 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7421 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7424 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7425 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7426 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7429 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7430 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7431 any installed hardware versions can.
7434 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7435 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7436 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7440 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7441 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7442 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7443 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7444 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7446 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7447 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7450 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7451 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7454 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7455 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7456 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7460 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7463 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7464 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7465 but no ssl client purpose.
7466 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7468 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7469 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7470 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7471 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7472 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7473 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7474 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7475 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7476 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7477 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7478 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7481 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7482 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7483 be obtained from the error queue.
7486 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7487 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7488 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7489 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7492 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7495 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7496 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7497 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7498 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7499 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7502 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7503 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7504 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7505 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7506 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7509 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7510 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7511 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7513 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7515 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7516 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7517 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7518 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7519 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7520 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7521 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7522 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7523 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7524 or "the configuration storage API"...
7526 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7528 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7529 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7531 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7533 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7535 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7536 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7537 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7538 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7539 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7540 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7541 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7543 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7544 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7547 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7548 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7549 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7550 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7553 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7554 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7555 them in a portable way.
7556 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7558 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7560 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7562 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7563 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7565 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7566 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7567 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7570 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7571 was larger than the MD block size.
7572 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7574 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7575 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7576 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7577 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7581 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7582 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7583 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7585 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7587 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7589 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7590 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7591 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7592 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7593 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7594 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7596 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7597 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7599 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7600 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7603 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7606 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7607 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7609 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7610 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7611 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7612 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7615 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7616 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7617 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7618 does not suppress any output.
7621 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7622 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7623 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7624 with all the associated security issues.
7626 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7627 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7628 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7629 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7630 use the value in the default purpose.
7633 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7634 and fix a memory leak.
7637 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7638 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7639 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7640 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7643 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7644 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7645 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7646 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7649 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7650 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7651 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7654 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7655 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7658 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7659 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7663 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7664 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7667 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7668 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7669 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7672 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7673 number generation fails.
7676 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7679 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7680 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7682 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7685 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7686 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7688 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7689 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7691 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7693 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7694 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7697 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7698 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7700 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7701 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7704 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7705 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7706 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7707 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7708 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7709 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7711 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7712 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7713 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7717 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7718 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7719 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7720 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7721 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7722 counter, some don't.)
7723 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7724 counters or duplicate objects.
7727 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7728 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7731 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7732 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7733 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7735 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7736 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7737 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7741 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7742 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7745 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7746 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7747 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7751 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7752 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7753 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7756 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7757 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7758 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7759 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7760 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7761 should work without changes.
7764 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7765 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7766 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7767 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7768 must be defined. E.g.,
7769 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7770 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7771 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7772 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7774 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7778 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7779 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7780 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7783 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7784 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7785 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7786 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7789 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7790 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7791 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7792 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7793 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7794 is prompted for as usual.
7797 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7798 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7799 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7800 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7802 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7803 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7804 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7805 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7808 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7811 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7815 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7818 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7821 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7825 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7828 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7831 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7832 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7835 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7836 options to produce them.
7839 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7840 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7843 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7847 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7848 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7849 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7850 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7851 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7852 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7853 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7856 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7859 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7860 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7861 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7864 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7865 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7867 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7868 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7871 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7872 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7873 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7877 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7878 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7880 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7881 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7882 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7883 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7884 generation becomes much faster.
7886 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7887 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7888 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7889 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7890 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7891 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7892 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7893 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7894 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7895 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7898 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7899 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7900 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7901 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7902 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7903 trial division stage.
7906 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7910 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7913 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7916 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7917 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7918 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7922 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7923 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7924 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7927 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7928 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7929 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7930 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7932 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7933 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7936 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7939 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7940 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7941 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7942 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7945 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7946 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7947 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7950 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7951 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7952 (instead of parameters) in future.
7955 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7956 when a new cipher list is set.
7959 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7960 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7963 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7964 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7965 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7967 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7968 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7969 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7970 an error is flagged.
7972 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7973 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7974 the readability was also increased :-)
7975 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7977 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7978 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7979 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7980 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7984 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7985 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7988 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7989 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7990 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7991 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7994 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7995 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7996 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7997 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7998 because they handle more complex structures.)
8001 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8002 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8003 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8004 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8006 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8007 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8008 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8009 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8010 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8011 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8012 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8015 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8016 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8017 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8018 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8019 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8022 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8025 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8026 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8027 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8028 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8029 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8032 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8036 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8037 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8038 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8039 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8042 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8045 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8046 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8047 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8048 international characters are used.
8050 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8051 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8052 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8056 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8057 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8058 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8061 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8062 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8063 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8064 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8065 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8066 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8068 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8069 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8070 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8071 be handled by the string table functions.
8073 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8074 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8075 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8076 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8077 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8081 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8082 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8083 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8084 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8085 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8087 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8088 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8089 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8090 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8093 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8094 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8095 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8096 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8097 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8101 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8102 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8103 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8104 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8105 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8106 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8107 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8108 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8110 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8111 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8112 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8115 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8116 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8117 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8118 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8119 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8120 support to pkcs8 application.
8123 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8124 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8125 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8126 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8127 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8128 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8131 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8132 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8133 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8134 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8135 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8139 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8140 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8141 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8142 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8146 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8147 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8148 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8149 and any application specific purposes.
8151 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8152 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8153 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8154 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8155 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8156 if the certificate is self signed.
8159 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8160 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8163 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8164 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8165 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8166 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8169 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8170 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8171 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8172 Update documentation.
8175 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8176 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8177 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8178 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8179 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8182 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8184 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8186 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8187 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8188 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8189 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8190 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8191 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8192 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8193 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8194 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8195 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8197 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8199 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8200 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8201 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8202 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8203 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8205 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8206 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8207 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8208 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8209 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8210 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8211 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8212 request additional information:
8213 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8214 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8216 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8217 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8218 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8221 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8222 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8225 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8228 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8229 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8231 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8232 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8233 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8237 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8238 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8239 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8241 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8242 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8243 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8244 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8245 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8246 included in OpenSSL.
8249 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8250 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8251 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8252 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8253 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8254 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8257 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8261 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8262 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8263 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8264 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8265 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8269 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8273 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8274 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8275 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8276 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8277 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8278 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8279 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8280 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8281 be maintained manually.
8283 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8284 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8285 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8286 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8287 work because people forget to call this function]
8288 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8289 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8290 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8293 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8294 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8295 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8296 should be discouraged from doing it.
8299 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8300 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8301 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8302 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8303 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8304 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8307 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8308 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8309 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8311 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8312 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8313 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8315 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8316 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8317 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8318 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8319 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8320 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8322 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8323 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8324 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8326 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8327 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8330 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8331 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8332 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8333 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8336 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8339 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8340 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8341 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8342 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8343 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8344 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8345 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8346 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8347 keys so we should be OK.
8349 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8350 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8351 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8352 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8353 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8354 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8355 stay in the name of compatibility.
8357 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8358 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8359 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8361 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8362 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8363 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8364 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8365 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8366 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8370 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8371 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8372 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8373 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8374 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8375 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8376 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8377 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8378 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8379 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8380 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8381 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8382 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8385 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8388 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8389 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8390 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8391 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8392 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8393 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8394 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8395 openssl verify ss.pem
8396 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8397 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8401 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8402 (and add it to external session representation).
8403 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8404 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8405 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8406 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8407 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8408 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8410 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8412 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8413 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8414 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8415 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8417 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8418 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8419 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8422 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8423 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8424 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8428 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8429 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8430 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8432 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8433 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8434 certificate auxiliary information.
8437 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8441 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8442 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8443 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8444 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8445 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8446 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8447 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8450 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8451 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8454 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8455 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8456 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8457 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8460 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8463 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8464 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8467 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8468 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8469 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8470 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8471 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8472 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8473 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8474 using the new 'x509' options.
8476 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8477 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8478 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8479 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8483 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8484 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8485 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8486 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8487 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8490 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8491 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8492 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8493 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8494 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8495 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8496 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8497 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8498 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8499 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8502 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8503 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8504 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8505 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8506 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8507 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8508 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8511 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8512 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8513 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8514 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8515 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8516 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8517 openssl.cnf for more info.
8520 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8521 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8522 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8523 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8524 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8525 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8526 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8527 md should be large enough anyway.
8530 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8531 for handling the random seed file.
8533 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8535 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8538 x509 (when signing).
8539 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8540 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8541 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8543 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8544 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8545 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8546 that support '-rand'.
8549 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8550 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8553 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8554 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8557 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8558 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8559 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8560 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8564 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8565 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8566 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8567 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8570 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8571 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8572 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8573 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8574 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8575 print out all the purposes.
8578 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8582 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8583 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8584 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8585 single function call.
8588 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8589 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8592 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8593 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8594 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8597 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8598 when producing the local key id.
8599 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8601 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8602 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8603 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8607 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8608 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8609 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8610 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8613 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8614 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8615 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8616 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8618 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8619 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8620 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8621 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8623 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8624 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8625 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8626 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8627 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8628 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8629 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8630 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8631 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8632 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8633 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8634 trivial: move one line.
8635 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8637 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8638 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8639 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8640 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8641 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8642 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8643 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8644 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8645 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8646 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8647 with an event loop for example.
8650 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8651 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8652 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8653 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8654 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8655 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8656 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8657 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8658 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8661 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8662 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8663 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8664 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8665 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8666 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8669 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8670 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8671 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8672 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8674 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8675 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8676 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8677 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8681 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8682 (still largely untested)
8685 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8686 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8689 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8690 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8693 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8694 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8695 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8698 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8699 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8700 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8701 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8702 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8705 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8708 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8709 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8710 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8711 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8712 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8716 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8717 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8720 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8723 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8724 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8725 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8726 are otherwise ignored at present.
8729 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8730 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8731 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8732 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8733 copied until the next read.
8736 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8737 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8738 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8741 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8742 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8743 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8744 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8745 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8746 associated functions.
8749 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8750 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8751 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8752 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8753 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8754 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8755 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8756 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8757 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8761 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8762 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8763 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8764 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8767 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8768 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8769 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8770 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8771 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8775 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8776 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8780 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8781 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8782 extensions to be obtained and added.
8785 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8786 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8789 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8791 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8792 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8794 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8795 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8797 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8801 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8802 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8803 DH parameters contain its length).
8805 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8806 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8807 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8808 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8809 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8810 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8811 utter importance to use
8812 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8814 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8815 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8816 attacks may become possible!
8819 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8822 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8823 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8826 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8827 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8828 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8832 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8833 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8834 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8835 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8836 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8837 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8838 private key operations.
8841 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8844 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8845 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8847 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8848 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8849 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8850 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8851 the password callback is called.
8852 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8854 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8856 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8857 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8858 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8859 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8860 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8861 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8864 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8865 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8866 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8867 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8868 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8869 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8872 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8875 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8876 delete an unused file.
8879 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8880 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8881 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8882 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8885 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8886 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8887 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8891 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8892 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8893 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8895 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8896 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8897 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8898 comparison" warnings.
8899 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8902 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8903 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8904 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8907 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8908 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8910 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8911 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8913 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8914 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8915 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8917 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8918 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8919 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8920 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8921 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8923 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8925 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8926 The interface is as follows:
8927 Applications can use
8928 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8929 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8930 "off" is now the default.
8931 The library internally uses
8932 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8933 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8934 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8936 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8937 even the default) are now avoided.
8939 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8940 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8941 than just having a counter.
8943 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8945 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8949 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8950 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8951 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8952 Initial "mode" flags are:
8954 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8955 a single record has been written.
8956 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8957 retries use the same buffer location.
8958 (But all of the contents must be
8962 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8965 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8966 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8968 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8969 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8970 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8973 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8974 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8976 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8978 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8979 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8980 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8981 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8983 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8984 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8986 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8987 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8988 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8989 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8990 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8991 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8994 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8995 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8996 necessary function names.
8999 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9000 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9001 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9002 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9005 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9006 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9007 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9010 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9011 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9012 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9013 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9015 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9019 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9020 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9021 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9024 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9025 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9029 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9030 for the encoded length.
9031 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9033 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9036 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9037 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9038 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9039 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9042 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9043 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9046 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9047 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9048 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9052 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9053 to use the new extension code.
9056 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9057 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9058 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9062 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9063 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9064 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9068 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9071 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9072 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9073 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9076 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9077 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9078 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9079 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9082 *) DES library cleanups.
9085 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9086 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9087 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9088 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9089 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9093 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9094 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9097 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9098 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9099 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9100 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9101 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9102 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9103 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9104 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9105 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9108 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9109 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9110 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9111 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9112 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9113 value doesn't matter.
9116 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9120 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9121 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9122 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9123 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9125 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9128 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9129 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9130 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9132 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9133 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9135 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9138 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9141 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9144 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9148 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9150 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9152 *) Updated some demos.
9153 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9155 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9158 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9161 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9164 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9165 instead of using a fixed path.
9168 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9171 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9175 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9177 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9178 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9179 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9181 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9182 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9183 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9184 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9185 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9186 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9187 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9188 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9189 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9190 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9193 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9194 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9197 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9198 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9199 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9200 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9201 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9203 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9206 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9207 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9208 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9211 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9214 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9215 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9216 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9217 key elements as negative integers.
9220 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9221 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9224 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9226 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9227 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9228 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9231 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9232 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9233 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9234 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9235 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9238 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9241 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9242 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9243 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9244 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9246 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9247 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9248 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9250 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9251 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9252 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9253 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9254 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9255 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9256 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9257 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9258 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9260 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9261 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9262 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9263 does not influence s as it used to.
9265 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9266 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9267 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9268 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9269 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9270 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9273 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9274 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9275 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9279 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9280 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9281 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9285 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9286 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9287 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9291 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9292 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9295 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9296 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9301 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9302 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9304 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9305 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9307 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9310 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9313 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9314 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9316 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9317 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9318 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9322 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9323 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9324 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9325 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9326 now it really counts the depth.
9329 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9330 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9331 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9332 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9333 didn't match the private key).
9335 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9336 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9337 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9340 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9343 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9347 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9348 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9349 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9352 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9355 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9356 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9357 such as /usr/local/bin.
9360 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9361 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9363 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9366 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9367 extension adding in x509 utility.
9370 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9373 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9377 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9380 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9381 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9382 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9383 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9384 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9385 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9386 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9387 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9388 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9389 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9392 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9395 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9396 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9399 *) Fix some race conditions.
9402 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9403 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9406 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9409 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9410 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9411 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9412 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9414 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9415 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9417 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9418 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9419 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9421 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9422 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9424 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9427 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9428 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9430 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9433 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9434 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9436 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9437 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9440 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9441 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9444 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9445 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9448 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9449 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9452 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9453 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9456 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9457 support typesafe stack.
9460 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9461 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9463 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9464 old X509V3 handling code.
9467 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9470 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9473 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9476 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9477 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9479 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9480 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9481 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9482 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9483 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9486 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9487 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9488 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9489 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9490 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9492 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9493 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9494 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9495 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9497 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9498 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9499 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9500 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9502 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9503 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9504 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9505 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9506 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9507 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9510 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9511 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9514 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9515 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9518 *) Tweaks to Configure
9519 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9521 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9525 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9528 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9529 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9532 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9533 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9534 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9537 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9540 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9541 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9544 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9545 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9546 to library startup routines.
9549 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9550 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9551 codes along the way.
9554 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9555 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9556 objects to objects.h
9559 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9560 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9563 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9564 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9566 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9567 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9568 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9570 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9571 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9572 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9574 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9575 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9576 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9579 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9581 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9582 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9585 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9586 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9587 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9588 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9589 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9591 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9592 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9593 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9595 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9597 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9599 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9601 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9602 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9604 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9605 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9606 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9607 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9609 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9612 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9613 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9614 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9615 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9618 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9619 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9620 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9623 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9624 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9625 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9626 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9627 installed as `perl').
9628 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9630 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9631 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9633 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9634 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9635 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9636 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9637 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9640 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9643 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9644 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9645 is horrible: I feel ill....
9648 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9649 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9650 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9651 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9654 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9655 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9657 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9658 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9659 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9660 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9662 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9663 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9664 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9665 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9666 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9667 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9669 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9671 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9672 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9674 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9675 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9677 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9680 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9681 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9685 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9686 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9687 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9688 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9689 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9690 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9691 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9692 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9693 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9694 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9695 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9697 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9700 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9701 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9702 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9703 for linking it into DSOs.
9704 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9706 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9710 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9711 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9712 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9713 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9714 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9715 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9717 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9718 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9719 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9720 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9721 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9722 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9723 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9725 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9726 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9727 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9731 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9732 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9733 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9734 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9737 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9738 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9739 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9740 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9741 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9745 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9746 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9747 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9748 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9751 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9752 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9753 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9755 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9756 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9758 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9759 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9760 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9761 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9762 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9765 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9766 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9767 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9768 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9769 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9770 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9771 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9774 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9776 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9777 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9780 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9781 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9783 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9784 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9787 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9788 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9789 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9790 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9791 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9793 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9794 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9795 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9796 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9797 no way to reconfigure them.
9798 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9799 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9800 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9801 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9802 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9805 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9806 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9807 recognized by the users.
9808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9810 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9811 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9812 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9813 already masked variable.
9814 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9816 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9817 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9819 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9820 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9821 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9822 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9824 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9825 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9826 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9828 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9829 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9830 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9831 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9832 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9833 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9834 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9835 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9837 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9839 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9840 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9841 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9843 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9844 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9848 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9849 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9851 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9852 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9853 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9854 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9857 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9860 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9861 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9863 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9866 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9867 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9870 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9871 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9874 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9875 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9876 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9877 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9878 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9879 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9880 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9883 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9884 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9886 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9887 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9888 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9889 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9890 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9892 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9893 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9894 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9897 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9898 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9902 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9903 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9904 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9906 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9907 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9908 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9912 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9913 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9914 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9915 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9918 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9919 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9920 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9921 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9924 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9925 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9926 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9927 so it wasn't spotted.
9928 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9930 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9931 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9932 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9933 vectors if you have them.
9936 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9937 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9940 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9941 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9942 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9943 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9945 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9946 it will update them.
9949 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9950 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9951 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9952 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9953 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9954 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9955 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9956 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9958 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9959 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9960 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9961 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9962 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9963 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9964 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9965 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9966 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9967 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9969 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9970 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9971 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9972 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9973 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9976 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9980 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9981 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9983 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9984 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9986 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9987 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9990 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9991 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9993 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9994 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9996 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9999 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10003 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10004 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10005 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10006 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10008 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10011 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10014 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10017 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10018 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10021 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10022 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10026 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10027 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10030 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10031 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10032 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10035 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10036 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10037 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10038 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10039 properly to be processed.
10042 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10043 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10044 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10047 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10048 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10050 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10051 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10052 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10053 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10054 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10055 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10056 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10057 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10058 or delete all the .err files.
10061 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10062 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10063 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10064 to regenerate it if needed.
10065 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10066 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10068 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10069 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10071 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10072 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10073 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10074 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10075 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10078 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10079 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10081 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10082 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10084 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10085 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10086 error, but didn't set one).
10087 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10089 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10092 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10093 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10096 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10097 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10099 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10100 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10101 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10102 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10103 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10104 OID is not part of the table.
10107 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10108 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10111 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10114 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10115 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10119 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10120 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10122 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10124 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10126 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10127 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10129 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10130 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10132 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10133 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10135 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10136 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10139 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10140 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10143 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10144 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10146 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10147 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10149 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10150 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10152 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10153 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10155 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10156 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10157 unused in the certificate verification process.
10158 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10160 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10161 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10164 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10165 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10166 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10168 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10169 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10170 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10171 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10172 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10174 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10175 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10178 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10181 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10184 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10185 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10187 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10190 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10193 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10196 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10197 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10198 other error libraries.
10201 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10204 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10205 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10209 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10210 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10211 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10212 the new set of documenation files.
10213 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10215 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10216 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10217 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10218 number of arguments.
10219 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10221 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10224 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10225 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10226 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10228 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10231 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10235 unixware-2.0-pentium
10239 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10240 before they are needed.
10243 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10247 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10249 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10250 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10251 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10253 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10256 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10257 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10258 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10260 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10261 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10262 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10264 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10265 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10268 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10269 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10271 *) Updated the README file.
10272 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10274 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10275 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10276 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10278 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10279 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10280 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10282 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10283 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10284 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10285 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10286 o removed obsolete TODO file
10287 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10288 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10290 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10291 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10292 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10293 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f

10295 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10296 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10298 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10301 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10302 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10303 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10305 [The OpenSSL Project]
10308 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10310 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10313 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10316 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10317 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10320 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10321 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10325 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10327 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10329 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10332 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10335 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10338 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10341 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10344 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10347 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10350 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10353 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10356 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10359 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10362 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10365 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10368 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10371 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10374 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10377 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10380 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10381 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10382 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10385 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10386 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10389 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10392 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10395 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10396 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10399 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10402 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10405 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10406 bytes sent in the client random.
10407 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
