10 Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [8 Dec 2020]
11
12 *) Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function
13 This function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
14 If an attacker can control both items being compared then this could lead
15 to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself uses the
16 GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
17 1) Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL and a
18 CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate
19 2) When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
20 timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
21 TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token)
22 (CVE-2020-1971)
23 [Matt Caswell]
24
25 *) Add support for Apple Silicon M1 Macs with the darwin64-arm64-cc target.
26 [Stuart Carnie]
27
28 *) The security callback, which can be customised by application code, supports
29 the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. This is defined to take an EVP_PKEY
30 in the "other" parameter. In most places this is what is passed. All these
31 places occur server side. However there was one client side call of this
32 security operation and it passed a DH object instead. This is incorrect
33 according to the definition of SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH, and is inconsistent with all
34 of the other locations. Therefore this client side call has been changed to
35 pass an EVP_PKEY instead.
36 [Matt Caswell]
37
38 *) In 1.1.1h, an expired trusted (root) certificate was not anymore rejected
39 when validating a certificate path. This check is restored in 1.1.1i.
40 [David von Oheimb]
41
42 Changes between 1.1.1g and 1.1.1h [22 Sep 2020]
43
44 *) Certificates with explicit curve parameters are now disallowed in
45 verification chains if the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag is used.
46 [Tomas Mraz]
47
48 *) The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently
49 ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring DTLS-based contexts, and
50 conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring
51 TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both
52 types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and
53 "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS
54 and DTLS.
55
56 SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
57 TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
58 attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
59 error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
60 limits in configuration files in command-line options.
61 [Viktor Dukhovni]
62
63 *) Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
64 on renegotiation.
65 [Tomas Mraz]
66
67 *) Accidentally, an expired trusted (root) certificate is not anymore rejected
68 when validating a certificate path.
69 [David von Oheimb]
70
71 *) The Oracle Developer Studio compiler will start reporting deprecated APIs
72
73 Changes between 1.1.1f and 1.1.1g [21 Apr 2020]
74
75 *) Fixed segmentation fault in SSL_check_chain()
76 Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function
77 during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer
78 dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the
79 "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid
80 or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could
81 be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack.
82 (CVE-2020-1967)
83 [Benjamin Kaduk]
84
85 *) Added AES consttime code for no-asm configurations
86 an optional constant time support for AES was added
87 when building openssl for no-asm.
88 Enable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_AES_CONST_TIME
89 Disable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_NO_AES_CONST_TIME
90 At this time this feature is by default disabled.
91 It will be enabled by default in 3.0.
92 [Bernd Edlinger]
93
94 Changes between 1.1.1e and 1.1.1f [31 Mar 2020]
95
96 *) Revert the change of EOF detection while reading in libssl to avoid
97 regressions in applications depending on the current way of reporting
98 the EOF. As the existing method is not fully accurate the change to
99 reporting the EOF via SSL_ERROR_SSL is kept on the current development
100 branch and will be present in the 3.0 release.
101 [Tomas Mraz]
102
103 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 3..17863 in p-1
104 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
105 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
106 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
107 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
108 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
109 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
110 [Bernd Edlinger]
111
112 Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [17 Mar 2020]
113 *) Properly detect EOF while reading in libssl. Previously if we hit an EOF
114 while reading in libssl then we would report an error back to the
115 application (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL) but errno would be 0. We now add
116 an error to the stack (which means we instead return SSL_ERROR_SSL) and
117 therefore give a hint as to what went wrong.
118 [Matt Caswell]
119
120 *) Check that ed25519 and ed448 are allowed by the security level. Previously
121 signature algorithms not using an MD were not being checked that they were
122 allowed by the security level.
123 [Kurt Roeckx]
124
125 *) Fixed SSL_get_servername() behaviour. The behaviour of SSL_get_servername()
126 was not quite right. The behaviour was not consistent between resumption
127 and normal handshakes, and also not quite consistent with historical
128 behaviour. The behaviour in various scenarios has been clarified and
129 it has been updated to make it match historical behaviour as closely as
130 possible.
131 [Matt Caswell]
132
133 *) [VMS only] The header files that the VMS compilers include automatically,
134 __DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H and __DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H, use pragmas that
135 the C++ compiler doesn't understand. This is a shortcoming in the
136 compiler, but can be worked around with __cplusplus guards.
137
138 C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled using the
139 qualifier '/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED)' to be able to use all the OpenSSL
140 functions. Otherwise, only functions with symbols of less than 31
141 characters can be used, as the linker will not be able to successfully
142 resolve symbols with longer names.
143 [Richard Levitte]
144
145 *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
146 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
147 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
148 was removed.
149
150 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
151 like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
152 [Richard Levitte]
153
154 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
155 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
156 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
157 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
158 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
159 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
160 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
161 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
162 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
163 (CVE-2019-1551)
164 [Andy Polyakov]
165
166 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
167 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
168 [Richard Levitte]
169
170 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
171 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
172 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
173 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
174
175 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
176 the first value.
177 [Jon Spillett]
178
179 Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
180
181 *) Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
182 number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
183 event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
184 processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not
185 being used in the default case.
186
187 A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
188 precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
189 and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
190
191 If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
192 OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
193 (CVE-2019-1549)
194 [Matthias St. Pierre]
195
196 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
197 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
198 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
199 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
200 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
201 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
202 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
203 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
204 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
205 [Nicola Tuveri]
206
207 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
208 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
209 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
210 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
211 (CVE-2019-1547)
212 [Billy Bob Brumley]
213
214 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
215 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
216 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
217 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
218 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
219 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
220 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
221 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
222 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
223 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
224 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
225 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
226 (CVE-2019-1563)
227 [Bernd Edlinger]
228
229 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
230 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
231 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
232 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
233 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
234 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
235 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
236 [Paul Dale]
237
238 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
239 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
240 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
241 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
242 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
243 [Matt Caswell]
244
245 *) Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
246
247 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
248 paths should be used for installation.
249 (CVE-2019-1552)
250 [Richard Levitte]
251
252 *) Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q subgroups.
253 With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key is not secret
254 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
255 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
256 [Bernd Edlinger]
257
258 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
259 [Paul Dale]
260
261 *) Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
262
263 The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
264 /dev/random device to become readable before reading from the
265 /dev/urandom device.
266
267 It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
268 performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
269 was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
270 resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
271 during early boot time.
272 [Matthias St. Pierre]
273
274 Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
275
276 *) Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
277 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
278 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
279
280 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
281 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
282 [Richard Levitte]
283
284 *) Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
285 [Patrick Steuer]
286
287 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
288 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
289 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
290 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
291 [Kurt Roeckx]
292
293 *) Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
294 EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
295 util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
296 [Paul Yang, Joshua Lock]
297
298 *) Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
299 [Matt Caswell]
300
301 *) Have apps like 's_client' and 's_server' output the signature scheme
302 along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
303 [Lorinczy Zsigmond]
304
305 *) Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
306 [Richard Levitte]
307
308 *) Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
309 [Bernd Edlinger]
310
311 *) Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
312
313 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
314 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
315 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
316 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
317 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
318 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
319 additional leading bytes are ignored.
320
321 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
322 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
323 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
324 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
325 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
326 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
327 messages with a reused nonce.
328
329 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
330 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
331 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
332 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
333 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
334 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
335 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
336
337 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
338 Greef of Ronomon.
339 (CVE-2019-1543)
340 [Matt Caswell]
341
342 *) Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
343
344 On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not available,
345 OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for seeding its CSPRNG.
346 Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom device will not block during
347 early boot when the kernel CSPRNG has not been seeded yet.
348
349 To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/random to
350 become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
351
352 *) Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
353 [Paul Yang]
354
355 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
356
357 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
358 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
359 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
360 to affine coordinates.
361 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
362
363 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
364 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
365 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
366 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
367 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
368 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
369 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
370 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
371 applications.
372 [Matt Caswell]
373
374 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
375 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
376 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
377 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
378 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
379 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
380
381 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
382 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
383 [Bernd Edlinger]
384
385 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
386 [Richard Levitte]
387
388 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
389 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
390 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
391 [Richard Levitte]
392
393 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
394
395 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
396
397 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
398 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
399 algorithm to recover the private key.
400
401 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
402 (CVE-2018-0734)
403 [Paul Dale]
404
405 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
406
407 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
408 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
409 algorithm to recover the private key.
410
411 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
412 (CVE-2018-0735)
413 [Paul Dale]
414
415 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
416 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
417 are retained for backwards compatibility.
418 [Antoine Salon]
419
420 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
421 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
422 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
423
424 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
425 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
426 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
427 provided by the application.
428
429 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
430
431 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
432 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
433 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
434 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
435 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
436 of the ClientHello
437 [Benjamin Kaduk]
438
439 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
440 [Jack Lloyd]
441
442 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
443 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
444 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
445 [Patrick Steuer]
446
447 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
448 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
449 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
450 [Richard Levitte]
451
452 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
453 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
454 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
455 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
456 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
457 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
458 to work in projective coordinates.
459 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
460
461 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
462 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
463 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
464 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
465 to 2^-128.
466 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
467
468 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
469 [Kurt Roeckx]
470
471 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
472 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
473 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
474 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
475 [Richard Levitte]
476
477 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
478 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
479 [Andy Polyakov]
480
481 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
482 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
483 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
484 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
485 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
486
487 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
488 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
489 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
490 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
491 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
492 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
493
494 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
495 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
496 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
497 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
498 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
499 [Paul Dale]
500
501 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
502 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
503 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
504 authors.
505 [Matt Caswell]
506
507 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
508 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
509 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
510 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
511 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
512 multi-version installation is managed.
513 [Andy Polyakov]
514
515 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
516 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
517 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
518 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
519 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
520 [Billy Bob Brumley]
521
522 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
523 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
524 chosen point SCA attacks.
525 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
526
527 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
528 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
529 [Matt Caswell]
530
531 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
532 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
533 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
534 [Matt Caswell]
535
536 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
537 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
538 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
539 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
540 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
541 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
542 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
543 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
544 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
545 [Kurt Roeckx]
546
547 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
548 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
549 [Richard Levitte]
550
551 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
552 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
553 [Billy Bob Brumley]
554
555 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
556 binary and prime elliptic curves.
557 [Billy Bob Brumley]
558
559 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
560 constant time fixed point multiplication.
561 [Billy Bob Brumley]
562
563 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
564 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
565 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
566 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
567 ECDH derive operations).
568 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
569 Sohaib ul Hassan]
570
571 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
572 [Rich Salz]
573
574 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
575 randomness from the system.
576 [Matthias St. Pierre]
577
578 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
579 [Richard Levitte]
580
581 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
582 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
583 [Matt Caswell]
584
585 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
586 [Matt Caswell]
587
588 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
589 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
590
591 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
592 [Richard Levitte]
593
594 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
595 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
596 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
597 [Matt Caswell]
598
599 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
600 stack.
601 [Rich Salz]
602
603 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
604 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
605 [Bernd Edlinger]
606
607 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
608 [Matt Caswell]
609
610 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
611 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
612 [Matthias St. Pierre]
613
614 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
615 for the license change).
616 [Rich Salz]
617
618 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
619 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
620 [Matt Caswell]
621
622 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
623 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
624 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
625 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
626 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
627 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
628 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
629 [Matt Caswell]
630
631 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
632 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
633 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
634 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
635 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
636 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
637 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
638 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
639 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
640 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
641 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
642 written to stderr.
643 [Viktor Dukhovni]
644
645 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
646 Mike Hamburg.
647 [Matt Caswell]
648
649 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
650 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
651 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
652 get the search data out of them.
653 [Richard Levitte]
654
655 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
656 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
657 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
658 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
659 [Matt Caswell]
660
661 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
662
663 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
664 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
665 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
666 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
667 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
668 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
669
670 Some of its new features are:
671 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
672 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
673 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
674 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
675 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
676 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
677 operation
678 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
679
680 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
681 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
682 to display all sorts of configuration data.
683 [Richard Levitte]
684
685 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
686 [Richard Levitte]
687
688 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
689 [Paul Dale]
690
691 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
692 now been removed.
693 [Rich Salz]
694
695 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
696 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
697 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
698 debug (or make silent).
699 [Richard Levitte]
700
701 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
702 arguments to config / Configure.
703 [Richard Levitte]
704
705 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
706 [Paul Yang]
707
708 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
709 [ Jack Lloyd <[email protected]>,
710 Ronald Tse <[email protected]>,
711 Erick Borsboom <[email protected]> ]
712
713 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
714 as documented in RFC6066.
715 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
716 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
717
718 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
719 [ Jack Lloyd <[email protected]>,
720 Ronald Tse <[email protected]>,
721 Erick Borsboom <[email protected]> ]
722
723 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
724 original author does not agree with the license change.
725 [Rich Salz]
726
727 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
728 [Jon Spillett]
729
730 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
731 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
732 [Rich Salz]
733
734 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
735 without clearing the errors.
736 [Richard Levitte]
737
738 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
739 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
740 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
741 [Rich Salz]
742
743 *) Add SHA3.
744 [Andy Polyakov]
745
746 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
747 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
748 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
749 as a fallback).
750
751 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
752 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
753 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
754 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
755 [Richard Levitte]
756
757 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
758 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
759 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
760 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
761 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
762 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
763 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
764 [Richard Levitte]
765
766 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
767 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
768 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
769 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
770 [Richard Levitte]
771
772 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
773 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
774 error code calls like this:
775
776 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
777
778 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
779 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
780 affect new modules.
781 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
782
783 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
784 [Rich Salz]
785
786 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
787 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
788 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
789 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
790 [Richard Levitte]
791
792 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
793 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
794 than just the call where this user data is passed.
795 [Richard Levitte]
796
797 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
798 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
799 [Tomas Mraz <[email protected]>]
800
801 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
802 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
803 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
804 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
805 prohibits this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
806 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
807 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause interoperability
808 issues.
809 [Matt Caswell]
810
811 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
812 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
813 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
814 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
815 [Richard Levitte]
816
817 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
818 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
819 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
820
821 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
822 does for RSA, etc.
823 [Richard Levitte]
824
825 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
826 platform rather than 'mingw'.
827 [Richard Levitte]
828
829 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
830 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
831 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
832 certificates and CRLs.
833 [Paul Dale]
834
835 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
836 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
837 [Andy Polyakov]
838
839 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
840 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
841 [Richard Levitte]
842
843 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
844 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
845 which is the minimum version we support.
846 [Richard Levitte]
847
848 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
849 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
850 are no longer allowed.
851 [Emilia Käsper]
852
853 *) Add support for ARIA
854 [Paul Dale]
855
856 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
857 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
858 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
859 using "-servername".
860 [Matt Caswell]
861
862 *) Add support for SipHash
863 [Todd Short]
864
865 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
866 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
867 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
868 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
869 [Matt Caswell]
870
871 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
872 using the algorithm defined in
873 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
874 [Richard Levitte]
875
876 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
877 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
878
879 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
880 [Emilia Käsper]
881
882 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
883 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
884 [Rich Salz]
885
886
887 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
888
889 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
890
891 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
892 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
893 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
894 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
895 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
896
897 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
898 (CVE-2018-0732)
899 [Guido Vranken]
900
901 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
902
903 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
904 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
905 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
906 recover the private key.
907
908 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
909 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
910 (CVE-2018-0737)
911 [Billy Brumley]
912
913 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
914 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
915 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
916 [Richard Levitte]
917
918 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
919 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
920 [Andy Polyakov]
921
922 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
923 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
924 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
925 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
926 to 2^-128.
927 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
928
929 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
930 [Kurt Roeckx]
931
932 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
933 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
934 [Matt Caswell]
935
936 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
937 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
938 [Richard Levitte]
939
940 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
941 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
942 are no longer allowed.
943 [Emilia Käsper]
944
945 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
946
947 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
948 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
949 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
950 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
951 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
952 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
953 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
954 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
955 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
956 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
957 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
958 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
959 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
960 [Matt Caswell]
961
962 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
963
964 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
965
966 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
967 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
968 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
969 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
970 so this is considered safe.
971
972 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
973 project.
974 (CVE-2018-0739)
975 [Matt Caswell]
976
977 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
978
979 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
980 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
981 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
982 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
983 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
984 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
985
986 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
987 (IBM).
988 (CVE-2018-0733)
989 [Andy Polyakov]
990
991 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
992 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
993 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
994 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
995 [Richard Levitte]
996
997 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
998
999 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1000 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1001 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1002 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1003 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1004
1005 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1006 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1007 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1008 [Matt Caswell]
1009
1010 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1011 exist.
1012 [Rich Salz]
1013
1014 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1015
1016 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1017 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1018 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1019 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1020 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1021 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1022 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1023 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1024 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1025 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1026
1027 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1028 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1029
1030 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1031 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.

1035 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1036
1037 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1038
1039 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1040 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1041 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1042 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1043 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1044 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1045 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1046 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1047 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1048 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1049 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1050
1051 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1052 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1053
1054 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1055 (CVE-2017-3736)
1056 [Andy Polyakov]
1057
1058 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1059
1060 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1061 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1062 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1063
1064 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1065 (CVE-2017-3735)

1067
1068 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1069
1070 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1071 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1072 [Richard Levitte]
1073
1074 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1075 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1076 which is the minimum version we support.

1080
1081 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1082
1083 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1084 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1085 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1086 and servers are affected.

1093
1094 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1095
1096 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1097 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1098 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.

1102 [Andy Polyakov]
1103
1104 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1105
1106 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1107 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1108 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1109 of Service attack.

1114
1115 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1116
1117 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1118 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1119 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1120 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1121 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1122 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1123 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1124 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1125 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1126 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1127 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1128 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1129 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1130
1131 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1136
1137 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1138
1139 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1140 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1141 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.

1144 (CVE-2016-7054)
1145 [Richard Levitte]
1146
1147 *) CMS Null dereference
1148
1149 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1150 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1151 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1152 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1153 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1154 affected.
1155
1156 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1157 (CVE-2016-7053)
1158 [Stephen Henson]
1159
1160 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1161
1162 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1163 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1164 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1165 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1166 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1167 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1168 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1169 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1170 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1171 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1172 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1173 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1174 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1175 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1176
1177 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1178 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1179 providing reproducible case.
1180 (CVE-2016-7055)
1181 [Andy Polyakov]
1182
1183 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1184 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.

1187 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1188
1189 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1190
1191 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1192 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1193 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1194 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1195 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1196 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1197
1198 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

1205
1206 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1207
1208 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1209 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1210 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1211 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1212 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1213 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1214 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1218 [Matt Caswell]
1219
1220 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1221
1222 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1223 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1224 Denial Of Service attack.
1225
1226 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1227 (CVE-2016-6305)
1228 [Matt Caswell]
1229
1230 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1231 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1232
1233 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1234 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1235 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1236 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1237 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1238 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1239 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1240 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1241 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1242 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1243 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1244 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1245 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1246 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1247 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1248
1249 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1250 that the connection fails
1251 or
1252 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1253 very little free memory
1254 or
1255 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1256 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1257 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1258 memory to service the multiple requests.
1259
1260 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1261 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1262 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1263 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1264 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1268 [Matt Caswell]
1269
1270 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1271 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1272 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1273 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1274 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1275 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1276 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1277 [Andy Polyakov]
1278
1279 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1280
1281 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1282 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1283 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1284 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1285 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1286 non-ASCII password.
1287 [Andy Polyakov]
1288
1289 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1290 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1291 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1292 [Rich Salz]
1293
1294 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1295 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1296 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1297 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1298 [Matt Caswell]
1299
1300 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1301 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1302 success.
1303 [Matt Caswell]
1304
1305 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1306 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1307 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1308 no-ops and deprecated.
1309 [Matt Caswell]
1310
1311 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1312 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1313 were also closed.
1314 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1315
1316 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1317 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1318 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1319 [Rich Salz]
1320
1321 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1322 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1323 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1324 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1325 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1326 and the validity of object reference counter.
1327 [[email protected]]
1328
1329 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1330 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1331 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1332 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1333 [Richard Levitte]
1334
1335 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1336 [Richard Levitte]
1337
1338 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1339 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1340 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1341 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1342
1343 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1344
1345 [Richard Levitte]
1346
1347 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1348 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1349 [Steve Henson]
1350
1351 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1352 [Andy Polyakov]
1353
1354 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1355 [Rich Salz]
1356
1357 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1358 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1359 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1360 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1361 name and is used as is.
1362 [Richard Levitte]
1363
1364 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1365 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1366 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1367 [Rich Salz]
1368
1369 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1370 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1371 [Matt Caswell]
1372
1373 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1374 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1375 algorithms.
1376 [Matt Caswell]
1377
1378 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1379 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1380 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1381 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1382 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1383 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1384 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1385 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1386 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1387 [Matt Caswell]
1388
1389 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1390 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1391 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1392 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1393
1394 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1395 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1396 these have been added.
1397 [Matt Caswell]
1398
1399 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1400 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1401 functions for managing these have been added.
1402 [Richard Levitte]
1403
1404 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1405 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1406 these have been added.
1407 [Matt Caswell]
1408
1409 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1410 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1411 have been added.
1412 [Matt Caswell]
1413
1414 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1415 [Matt Caswell]
1416
1417 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1418 [Richard Levitte]
1419
1420 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1421 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1422 [Rich Salz]
1423
1424 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1425 [Richard Levitte]
1426
1427 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1428 [Rich Salz]
1429
1430 *) Add support for HKDF.
1431 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1432
1433 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1434 [Bill Cox]
1435
1436 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1437 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1438 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1439 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1440 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1441 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1442 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1443 [Matt Caswell]
1444
1445 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1446 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1447 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1448 [Catriona Lucey]
1449
1450 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1451 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1452 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1453 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1454 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1455 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1456 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1457
1458 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1459 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1460 [Todd Short]
1461
1462 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1463 [Todd Short]
1464
1465 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1466 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1467 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1468 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1469 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1470 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1471 default cipherlist.
1472 [Emilia Käsper]
1473
1474 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1475 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1476 [Rich Salz]
1477
1478 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1479 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1480 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1481 [Matt Caswell]
1482
1483 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1484 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1485 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1486 implemented by other servers.
1487 [Emilia Käsper]
1488
1489 *) Add X25519 support.
1490 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1491 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1492 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1493 key generation and key derivation.
1494
1495 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1496 X25519(29).
1497 [Steve Henson]
1498
1499 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1500 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1501 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1502 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1503 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1504
1505 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1506 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1507 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1508 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1509 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1510 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1511 that of a valid user.
1512 [Emilia Käsper]
1513
1514 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1515 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1516 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1517 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1518
1519 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1520 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1521
1522 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1523 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1524 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1525 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1526
1527 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1528 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1529 irrelevant.
1530 [Richard Levitte]
1531
1532 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1533 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1534 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1535 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1536 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1537 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1538
1539 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1540 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1541 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1542 [Richard Levitte]
1543
1544 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1545 [Rich Salz]
1546
1547 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1548 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1549 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1550 removed.
1551 [Richard Levitte]
1552
1553 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1554 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1555 old #define's might need to be updated.
1556 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1557
1558 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1559 [Rich Salz]
1560
1561 *) New "unified" build system
1562
1563 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1564 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1565
1566 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1567 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1568 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1569
1570 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1571 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1572 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1573 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1574 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1575
1576 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1577 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1578 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1579 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1580 libraries" in INSTALL.
1581
1582 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1583 [Richard Levitte]
1584
1585 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1586 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1587 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1588 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1589 [Matt Caswell]
1590
1591 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1592 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1593
1594 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1595 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1596 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1597 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1598 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1599 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1600 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1601 have been adapted accordingly.
1602 [Richard Levitte]
1603
1604 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1605 the leading 0-byte.
1606 [Emilia Käsper]
1607
1608 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1609 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1610 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1611 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1612 [Emilia Käsper]
1613
1614 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1615 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1616 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1617 'unsigned char*'.
1618 [Emilia Käsper]
1619
1620 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1621 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1622 [Emilia Käsper]
1623
1624 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1625 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1626 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1627 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1628 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1629 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1630 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1631
1632 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1633 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1634
1635 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1636 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1637 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1638 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1639 Text::Template.
1640
1641 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1642 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1643 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1644 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1645 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1646 %target).
1647 [Richard Levitte]
1648
1649 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1650 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1651 straightforward and less interdependent.
1652
1653 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1654 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1655 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1656
1657 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1658 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1659 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1660 installed.
1661 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1662 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1663 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1664 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1665
1666 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1667 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1668 [Richard Levitte]
1669
1670 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1671 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1672 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1673 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1674 is present).
1675 [Matt Caswell]
1676
1677 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1678 configuring.
1679 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1680
1681 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1682 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1683 before trying to build now.*
1684 [Rich Salz]
1685
1686 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1687 has changed.
1688 [Rich Salz]
1689
1690 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1691
1692 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1693 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1694 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1695 used to authenticate the peer.
1696
1697 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1698 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1699 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1700 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1701 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1702 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1703
1704 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1705 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1706 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1707 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1708 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1709 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1710
1711 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1712 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1713 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1714 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1715 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1716 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1717 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1718 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1719 version.
1720
1721 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1722 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1723 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1724 compile with later releases.
1725
1726 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1727 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1728 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1729 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1730 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1731 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1732
1733 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1734 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1735 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1736 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1737 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1738 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1739 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1740 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1741 [Kurt Roeckx]
1742
1743 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1744 [Andy Polyakov]
1745
1746 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1747 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1748 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1749 ECDSA_SIG format.
1750
1751 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1752 include the ec.h header file instead.
1753 [Steve Henson]
1754
1755 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1756 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1757 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1758 [Kurt Roeckx]
1759
1760 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1761 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1762 were added:
1763
1764 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1765 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1766
1767 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1768 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1769 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1770
1771 Additional changes:
1772 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1773 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1774 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1775 an already created structure.
1776 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1777 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1778 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1779 for deprecated builds.
1780 [Richard Levitte]
1781
1782 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1783 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1784 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1785 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1786 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1787 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1788 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1789 [Matt Caswell]
1790
1791 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1792 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1793 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1794 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1795 [Kurt Roeckx]
1796
1797 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1798 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1799 [Kurt Roeckx]
1800
1801 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1802 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1803 [Kurt Roeckx]
1804
1805 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1806 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1807 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1808 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1809 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1810 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1811 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1812 also been removed.
1813 [Matt Caswell]
1814
1815 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1816 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1817 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1818 [Rich Salz]
1819
1820 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1821 [Rich Salz]
1822
1823 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1824 sureware and ubsec.
1825 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1826
1827 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1828
1829 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1830 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1831
1832 FOO *x;
1833
1834 it must be:
1835
1836 FOO x;
1837
1838 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1839 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1840
1841 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1842 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1843 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1844 SEQUENCE OF.
1845 [Steve Henson]
1846
1847 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1848 [Emilia Käsper]
1849
1850 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1851 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1852 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1853 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1854 [Matt Caswell]
1855
1856 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1857 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1858 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1859 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1860 [Emilia Käsper]
1861
1862 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1863 [ David Woodhouse <[email protected]> and also
1864 Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> ]
1865
1866 *) New testing framework
1867 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1868 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1869 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1870 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1871 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1872 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1873
1874 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1875
1876 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1877 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1878
1879 [Richard Levitte]
1880
1881 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1882 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1883 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1884 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1885 [Rich Salz]
1886
1887 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1888 return an error
1889 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <[email protected]>]
1890
1891 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1892 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1893
1894 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1895 original RSA_PSK patch.
1896 [Steve Henson]
1897
1898 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1899 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1900 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1901 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1902 [Matt Caswell]
1903
1904 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1905 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1906 [Richard Levitte]
1907
1908 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1909 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1910 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1911 [Emilia Käsper]
1912
1913 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1914 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1915 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1916 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1917 transferred.
1918 [Matt Caswell]
1919
1920 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1921 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1922 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1923 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1924 [Matt Caswell]
1925
1926 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1927 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1928 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1929 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1930 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1931 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1932 [Matt Caswell]
1933
1934 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1935 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1936 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1937 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1938 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1939 header file has been removed.
1940 [Matt Caswell]
1941
1942 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1943 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1944 [Matt Caswell]
1945
1946 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1947 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1948 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1949
1950 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1951 Added a test.
1952 [Rich Salz]
1953
1954 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1955 [Rich Salz]
1956
1957 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1958 sha256
1959 [Rich Salz]
1960
1961 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1962 [Matt Caswell]
1963
1964 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1965 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1966 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1967 [Steve Henson]
1968
1969 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1970 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1971 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1972 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1973 [Matt Caswell]
1974
1975 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1976 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1977 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1978 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1979 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1980 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1981 [Matt Caswell]
1982
1983 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1984 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1985 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1986 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1987 [Matt Caswell]
1988
1989 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1990 compatible client hello.
1991 [Kurt Roeckx]
1992
1993 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1994 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1995 [Annie Yousar <[email protected]>]
1996
1997 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1998 [Rich Salz]
1999
2000 *) Removed old DES API.
2001 [Rich Salz]
2002
2003 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2004 Sony NEWS4
2005 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2006 NeXT
2007 SUNOS
2008 MPE/iX
2009 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2010 DGUX
2011 NCR
2012 Tandem
2013 Cray
2014 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2015 [Rich Salz]
2016
2017 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2018 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2019 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2020 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2021 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2022 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2023 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2024 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2025 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2026 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2027 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2028 [Rich Salz]
2029
2030 *) Cleaned up dead code
2031 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2032 [Rich Salz]
2033
2034 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2035 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2036 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2037 [Rich Salz]
2038
2039 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2040 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2041 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2042 [Rich Salz]
2043
2044 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2045 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2046 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <[email protected]>]
2047
2048 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2049 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2050 [Martin Kaiser <[email protected]>]
2051
2052 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2053 compilation flags.
2054 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2055
2056 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2057 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2058 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2059
2060 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2061 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2062
2063 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2064 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2065 server.
2066
2067 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2068 Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Bodo Moeller <[email protected]> for
2069 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2070 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2071
2072 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2073 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2074 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2075 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2076
2077 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2078 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2079 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2080
2081 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2082 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2083 [Steve Henson]
2084
2085 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2086
2087 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2088 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2089
2090 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2091 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2092
2093 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2094 effect.
2095
2096 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2097
2098 [Steve Henson]
2099
2100 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2101 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2102 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2103 algorithms and include tests cases.
2104 [Steve Henson]
2105
2106 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2107 enveloped data.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2111 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2112 [Steve Henson]
2113
2114 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2115 [Chris Palmer <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
2116
2117 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2118 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2119 [Steve Henson]
2120
2121 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2122 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2123 failures.
2124 [Steve Henson]
2125
2126 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2127 sign or verify all in one operation.
2128 [Steve Henson]
2129
2130 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2131 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2132 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2133 [Steve Henson]
2134
2135 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2136 [Steve Henson]
2137
2138 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2139 [Steve Henson]
2140
2141 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2142 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2143 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2144 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2145 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2146 [Steve Henson]
2147
2148 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2149 based on NID.
2150 [Steve Henson]
2151
2152 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2153 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2154 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2155 [Steve Henson]
2156
2157 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2158 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2159
2160 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2161 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2162 [Steve Henson]
2163
2164 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2165 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2166 [Steve Henson]
2167
2168 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2169 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2170 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2171 [Steve Henson]
2172
2173 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2174 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2175 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2176 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2177 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2178 requested amount of entropy.
2179 [Steve Henson]
2180
2181 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2182 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2183 [Steve Henson]
2184
2185 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2186 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2187 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2188 support.
2189 [Steve Henson]
2190
2191 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2192 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2193 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2194 [Steve Henson]
2195
2196 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2197 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2198 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2199 will never use XTS mode.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2203 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2204 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2205 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2206 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2207 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2208 [Steve Henson]
2209
2210 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2211 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2212 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2213 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2214 [Steve Henson]
2215
2216 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2217 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2218 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2219 [Steve Henson]
2220
2221 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2222 [Steve Henson]
2223
2224 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2225 [Steve Henson]
2226
2227 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2228 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2229 [Steve Henson]
2230
2231 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2232 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2233 [Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2236 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2237 [Steve Henson]
2238
2239 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2240 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2241 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2242 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2243 and rename any affected symbols.
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2247 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2248 [Steve Henson]
2249
2250 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2251 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2252 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2253 [Steve Henson]
2254
2255 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2259 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2260 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2261 [Steve Henson]
2262
2263 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2264 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2265 [Steve Henson]
2266
2267 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2268 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2269 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2270 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2271 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2272 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2273 set before the key.
2274 [Steve Henson]
2275
2276 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2277 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2278 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2279 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2280 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2281 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2282 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2283 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2284 [Steve Henson]
2285
2286 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2287 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2288 [Steve Henson]
2289
2290 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2291
2292 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2293 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2294
2295 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2296 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2297 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2298 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2299 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2300 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2301
2302 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2303 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2304 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2305 security.
2306 [Emilia Käsper <[email protected]> (Google)]
2307
2308 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2309 parameters by name.
2310 [Steve Henson]
2311
2312 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2313 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2314 [Steve Henson]
2315
2316 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2317 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2318 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2319 [Steve Henson]
2320
2321 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2322 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2323 multi-process servers.
2324 [Steve Henson]
2325
2326 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2327 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2328 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2329 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2330 RAND_METHOD structure.
2331 [Steve Henson]
2332
2333 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2334 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2335 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2336 whose return value is often ignored.
2337 [Steve Henson]
2338
2339 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2340 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2341 validated when establishing a connection.
2342 [Rob Percival <[email protected]>]
2343
2344 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2345
2346 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2347
2348 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2349 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2350 AES-NI.
2351
2352 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2353 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2354 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2355 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2356 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2357 bytes.
2358
2359 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2360 (CVE-2016-2107)
2361 [Kurt Roeckx]
2362
2363 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2364
2365 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2366 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2367 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2368 corruption.
2369
2370 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2371 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2372 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2373 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2374 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2375 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2376
2377 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2378 (CVE-2016-2105)
2379 [Matt Caswell]
2380
2381 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2382
2383 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2384 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2385 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2386 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2387 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2388 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2389 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2390 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2391 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2392 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2393 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2394 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2395 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2396 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2397 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2398 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2399
2400 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2401 (CVE-2016-2106)
2402 [Matt Caswell]
2403
2404 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2405
2406 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2407 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2408 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2409
2410 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2411 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2412 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2413 applications are not affected.
2414
2415 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2416 (CVE-2016-2109)
2417 [Stephen Henson]
2418
2419 *) EBCDIC overread
2420
2421 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2422 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2423 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2424
2425 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2426 (CVE-2016-2176)
2427 [Matt Caswell]
2428
2429 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2430 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2431 [Todd Short]
2432
2433 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2434 default.
2435 [Kurt Roeckx]
2436
2437 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2438 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2439 [Kurt Roeckx]
2440
2441 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2442
2443 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2444 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2445 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2446 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2447
2448 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2449 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2450 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2451 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2452 will need to explicitly call either of:
2453
2454 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2455 or
2456 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2457
2458 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2459 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2460 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key

2466 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2467
2468 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2469 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2470 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2471 considered rare.
2472
2473 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2474 libFuzzer.

2476 [Stephen Henson]
2477
2478 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2479
2480 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2481
2482 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2483 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2484 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2485 is configured.
2486
2487 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2488 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2489 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2490 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2491 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2492 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2493 that of a valid user.

2495 [Emilia Käsper]
2496
2497 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2498
2499 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2500 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2501 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2502 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2503 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2504 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2505 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2506 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2507 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2508 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2509 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2510
2511 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2512 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2513 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2514 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2515 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

2519 [Matt Caswell]
2520
2521 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2522
2523 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2524 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2525 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2526
2527 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2528 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2529 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2530 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2531 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2532 also occur.
2533
2534 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2535 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2536 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2537 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2538 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2539 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2540 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2541 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2542 as command line arguments.
2543
2544 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2545 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2546 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

2552 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2553
2554 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2555 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2556 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2557 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2558 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.

2572
2573 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2574 *) DH small subgroups
2575
2576 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2577 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2578 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2579 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2580 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2581 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2582 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2583 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2584 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2585 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2586
2587 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2588 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2589 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2590 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2591 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2592
2593 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2594 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2595 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2596 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2597
2598 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2599 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

2609 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2610 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2619 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2620
2621 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2622 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2623 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2624 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2625 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2626 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2627 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2628 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2629 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2630 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2631 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2632 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2639
2640 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2641 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2642 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2643 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2644 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2645 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is

2678
2679 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2680 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2681 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2682 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2683 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2684 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2701 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2702 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2703 field.
2704
2705 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2706 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2707 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2708 client authentication enabled.

2717 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2718 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2719 time string.
2720
2721 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2722 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2723 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2724 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client

2781 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2782
2783 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2784
2785 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2786 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2787 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2788 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2789 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2790 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2791 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2792 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.

2794 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2795 (CVE-2015-0290)
2796 [Matt Caswell]
2797
2798 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2799
2800 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2801 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2802 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2803 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2804 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2805 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2806 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2807 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2808 server.

2814 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2815
2816 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2817 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2818 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2819 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2820 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2821 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

2826
2827 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer

2829 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2830 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2831 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any

2839 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2840
2841 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2842 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2843 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2844
2845 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2846 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related

2856 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2857
2858 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or

2877 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2878
2879 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2880 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2881 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2882 (CVE-2015-1787)
2883 [Matt Caswell]
2884
2885 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2886
2887 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2888 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2889 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2890 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2891 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2892 SSL_client_methodv23)
2893 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2894 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2895
2896 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2897 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2898 output may be predictable.
2899
2900 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2901 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2902
2903 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

2908
2909 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2910 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2911 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2912 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2913 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2914 sources. This scenario is considered rare.

2951 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2952 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2953 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2954 [Bodo Moeller]
2955
2956 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2957 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2958 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2959 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2960 [Andy Polyakov]
2961
2962 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2963 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2964
2965 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2966 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2967 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2968 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2969 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2970
2971 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2972 [Andy Polyakov]
2973
2974 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2975 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2976 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2977 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2978
2979 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2980 RSAZ.
2981 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2982
2983 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2984 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2985 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2986 for TLS encrypt.
2987
2988 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2989 [Andy Polyakov]
2990
2991 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2992 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2993 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2994 [Steve Henson]
2995
2996 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2997 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2998 [Steve Henson]
2999
3000 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3001 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3005 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3006 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3007 algorithms and include tests cases.
3008 [Steve Henson]
3009
3010 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3011 structure.
3012 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3015 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3016 [Steve Henson]
3017
3018 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3019 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3020 summary of the connection parameters.
3021 [Steve Henson]
3022
3023 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3024 of connection parameters.
3025 [Steve Henson]
3026
3027 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3028 [Trevor Perrin <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3029
3030 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3031 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3032 [Steve Henson]
3033
3034 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3035 [Steve Henson]
3036
3037 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3038 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3039 [Steve Henson]
3040
3041 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3042 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3043 [Steve Henson]
3044
3045 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3046 certificates.
3047 [Steve Henson]
3048
3049 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3050 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3051 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3052 [Steve Henson]
3053
3054 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3055 [Steve Henson]
3056
3057 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3058 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3059 [Steve Henson]
3060
3061 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3062 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3063 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3064 tracing.
3065 [Steve Henson]
3066
3067 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3068 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3069 [Steve Henson]
3070
3071 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3072 OID NID.
3073 [Steve Henson]
3074
3075 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3076 client to OpenSSL.
3077 [Steve Henson]
3078
3079 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3080 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3081 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3082 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3083 [Steve Henson]
3084
3085 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3086 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3087 [Steve Henson]
3088
3089 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3090 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3091 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3092 comparison.
3093 [Steve Henson]
3094
3095 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3096 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3097 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3098 use the certificate.
3099 [Steve Henson]
3100
3101 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3105 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3106 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3107 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3108 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3109 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3110 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3111
3112 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3113 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3114
3115 [Steve Henson]
3116
3117 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3118 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3119 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3120 [Steve Henson]
3121
3122 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3123 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3124 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3125 supported signature algorithms.
3126 [Steve Henson]
3127
3128 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3129 [Steve Henson]
3130
3131 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3132 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3133 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3134 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3135 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3136 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3137 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3138 [Steve Henson]
3139
3140 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3141 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3142 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3143 to have similar checks in it.
3144
3145 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3146 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3147 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3148 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3149 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3150 [Steve Henson]
3151
3152 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3153 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3154 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3155 shared signature algorithms.
3156 [Steve Henson]
3157
3158 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3159 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3160 to support them.
3161 [Steve Henson]
3162
3163 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3164 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3165 it couldn't be removed.
3166 [Steve Henson]
3167
3168 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3169 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3173 functions. Add manual page.
3174 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3175
3176 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3177 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3178 a certificate.
3179 [Steve Henson]
3180
3181 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3182 [Rob Stradling <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3183
3184 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3185 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3186 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3187 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3188 utility) or reject.
3189 [Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3192 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3196 platform support for Linux and Android.
3197 [Andy Polyakov]
3198
3199 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3200 [Andy Polyakov]
3201
3202 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3203 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3204 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3205 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3206 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3207 [Steve Henson]
3208
3209 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3210 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3211 the new parameter format automatically.
3212 [Steve Henson]
3213
3214 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3215 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3216 [Steve Henson]
3217
3218 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3219 [Steve Henson]
3220
3221 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3222 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3223 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3224 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3225 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3229 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3230 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3231 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3232 to set list of supported curves.
3233 [Steve Henson]
3234
3235 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3236 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3237 to print out received values.
3238 [Steve Henson]
3239
3240 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3241 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3242 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3243 [Steve Henson]
3244
3245 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3246 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3247 [Steve Henson]
3248
3249 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3250 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3251 [Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3254 certificates.
3255 [Steve Henson]
3256
3257 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3258 the certificate.
3259 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3260 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3261 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3262
3263 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3264
3265 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3266 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3267
3268 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3269
3270 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3271 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3272 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3273 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3274 (CVE-2014-3571)
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3278 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3279 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3280 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3281 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3282 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3283 (CVE-2015-0206)
3284 [Matt Caswell]
3285
3286 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3287 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3288 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3289 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3290 (CVE-2014-3569)
3291 [Kurt Roeckx]
3292
3293 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3294 ECDH ciphersuites.
3295
3296 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3297 reporting this issue.
3298 (CVE-2014-3572)
3299 [Steve Henson]
3300
3301 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3302 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3303 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3304 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3305 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3306 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3307 (CVE-2015-0204)
3308 [Steve Henson]
3309
3310 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3311 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3312 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3313 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3314 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3315 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3316 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3317 this issue.
3318 (CVE-2015-0205)
3319 [Steve Henson]
3320
3321 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3322 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3323
3324 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3325 and can vary with the CTX.
3326 [Adam Langley]
3327
3328 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3329
3330 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3331 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3332 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3333 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3334 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3335
3336 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3337
3338 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3339 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3340
3341 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3342
3343 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3344 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3345 errors for some broken certificates.
3346
3347 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3348
3349 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3350
3351 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3352 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3353
3354 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3355 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3356 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3357 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3358
3359 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3360 of the OpenSSL core team.
3361
3362 (CVE-2014-8275)
3363 [Steve Henson]
3364
3365 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3366 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3367 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3368 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3369 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3370 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3371 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3372 the OpenSSL core team.
3373 (CVE-2014-3570)
3374 [Andy Polyakov]
3375
3376 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3377 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3378 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3379 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3380 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3381
3382 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3383 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3384 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3385 [Emilia Käsper]
3386
3387 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3388 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3389 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3390 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3391 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3392
3393 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3394 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3395 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3396 [Emilia Käsper]
3397
3398 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3399
3400 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3401
3402 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3403 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3404 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3405 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3406 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3407 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3408 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3409
3410 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3411 (CVE-2014-3513)
3412 [OpenSSL team]
3413
3414 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3415
3416 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3417 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3418 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3419 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3420 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3421 attack.
3422 (CVE-2014-3567)
3423 [Steve Henson]
3424
3425 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3426
3427 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3428 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3429 configured to send them.
3430 (CVE-2014-3568)
3431 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3432
3433 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3434 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3435 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3436 (CVE-2014-3566)
3437 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3438
3439 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3440
3441 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3442 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3443 DigestInfo structures.
3444
3445 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3446
3447 [Steve Henson]
3448
3449 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3450
3451 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3452 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3453 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3454
3455 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3456 Group for discovering this issue.
3457 (CVE-2014-3512)
3458 [Steve Henson]
3459
3460 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3461 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3462 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3463 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3464 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3465
3466 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3467 researching this issue.
3468 (CVE-2014-3511)
3469 [David Benjamin]
3470
3471 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3472 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3473 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3474 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3475
3476 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3477 issue.
3478 (CVE-2014-3510)
3479 [Emilia Käsper]
3480
3481 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3482 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3483 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3484 (CVE-2014-3507)
3485 [Adam Langley]
3486
3487 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3488 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3489 Denial of Service attack.
3490 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3491 (CVE-2014-3506)
3492 [Adam Langley]
3493
3494 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3495 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3496 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3497 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3498 this issue.
3499 (CVE-2014-3505)
3500 [Adam Langley]
3501
3502 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3503 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3504 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3505
3506 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3507 issue.
3508 (CVE-2014-3509)
3509 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3510
3511 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3512 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3513 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3514 Denial of Service attack.
3515
3516 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3517 discovering and researching this issue.
3518 (CVE-2014-5139)
3519 [Steve Henson]
3520
3521 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3522 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3523 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3524 output to the attacker.
3525
3526 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3527 (CVE-2014-3508)
3528 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3529
3530 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3531 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3532 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3533 [Bodo Moeller]
3534
3535 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3536
3537 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3538 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3539 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3540
3541 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3542 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3543 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3544
3545 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3546 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3547 in a DoS attack.
3548
3549 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3550 (CVE-2014-0221)
3551 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3552
3553 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3554 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3555 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3556 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3557
3558 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3559 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3560
3561 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3562 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3563
3564 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3565 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3566 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3567
3568 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3569 compilation flags.
3570 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3571
3572 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3573 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3574 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3575
3576 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3577 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3578
3579 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3580
3581 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3582 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3583 server.
3584
3585 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3586 Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Bodo Moeller <[email protected]> for
3587 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3588 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3589
3590 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3591 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3592 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3593 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3594
3595 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3596 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3597 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3598
3599 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3600
3601 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3602 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3603 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3604 is at least 512 bytes long.
3605
3606 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3607
3608 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3609
3610 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3611 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3612 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3613 (CVE-2013-4353)
3614
3615 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3616 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3617 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3618 [Steve Henson]
3619
3620 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3621 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3622 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3623 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3624 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3625 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3626 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3627
3628 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3629
3630 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3631 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3632 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3633
3634 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3635
3636 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3637
3638 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3639 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3640 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3641
3642 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3643 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3644 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3645 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3646 (CVE-2013-0169)
3647 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3650 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3651 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <[email protected]> for discovering
3652 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3653 <[email protected]> for independently discovering this issue.
3654 (CVE-2012-2686)
3655 [Adam Langley]
3656
3657 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3658 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3659 [Steve Henson]
3660
3661 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3662 [Chris Palmer <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3663
3664 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3665 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3666 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3667 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3668 [Rob Stradling <[email protected]>]
3669
3670 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3671 [Steve Henson]
3672
3673 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3674 if renegotiating.
3675 [Steve Henson]
3676
3677 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3678
3679 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3680 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3681
3682 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3683 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3684 (CVE-2012-2333)
3685 [Steve Henson]
3686
3687 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3688 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3689 [Steve Henson]
3690
3691 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3692 approved.
3693 [Steve Henson]
3694
3695 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3696
3697 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3698 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3699 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3700 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3701 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3702 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3703 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3704 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3705 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3706 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3707 [Steve Henson]
3708
3709 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3710 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3711 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3712 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3713 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3714 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3715 client side.
3716 [Andy Polyakov]
3717
3718 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3719
3720 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3721 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3722 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3723
3724 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3725 issue and to Adam Langley <[email protected]> for fixing it.
3726 (CVE-2012-2110)
3727 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3728
3729 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3730 [Adam Langley]
3731
3732 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3733 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3734
3735 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3736 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3737 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3738 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3739 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3740 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3741 Most broken servers should now work.
3742 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3743 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3747 [Andy Polyakov]
3748
3749 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3750
3751 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3752 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3753 [Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3756 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3757 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3758 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3759 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3760 [Steve Henson]
3761
3762 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3763 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3764 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3765 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3766 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3770 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
3771
3772 *) Add support for SCTP.
3773 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
3774
3775 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3776 [Paul Green <[email protected]>]
3777
3778 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3779
3780 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3781 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3782 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3783 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3784 - s390x: z196 support;
3785 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3786
3787 [Andy Polyakov]
3788
3789 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3790 (removal of unnecessary code)
3791 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
3792
3793 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3794 [Eric Rescorla]
3795
3796 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3797 [Eric Rescorla]
3798
3799 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3800 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3801 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3802 by Google.
3803 [Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3804
3805 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3806 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3807 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3808 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3809 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3810
3811 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3812 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3813 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3814
3815 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3816 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3817 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3818
3819 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3820 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3821 implementations).
3822 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3823
3824 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instead of ssize_t which isn't available on
3825 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3826 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3830 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3831 particular PSS.
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3835 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3836 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3837 [Steve Henson]
3838
3839 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3840 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3841 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3842 the appropriate parameters.
3843 [Steve Henson]
3844
3845 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3846 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3847 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3848 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3849 against a number of sample certificates.
3850 [Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3853 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <[email protected]>]
3854
3855 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3856 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3857
3858 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3859 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3860 parameters r, s.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3864 RFC3211.
3865 [Steve Henson]
3866
3867 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3868 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3869 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3870 password based CMS).
3871 [Steve Henson]
3872
3873 *) Session-handling fixes:
3874 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3875 but also support Session Tickets.
3876 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3877 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3878 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3879 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3880 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3881 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3882
3883 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3884 [Bodo Moeller]
3885
3886 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3887
3888 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3889 [Andy Polyakov]
3890
3891 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3892 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3893 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3894 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3895 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3896 [Steve Henson]
3897
3898 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3899 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3903 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3904 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3905 [Steve Henson]
3906
3907 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3908 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3909 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3910 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3911 [Steve Henson]
3912
3913 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3914 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3915 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3916 [Steve Henson]
3917
3918 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3919 [Peter Eckersley <[email protected]>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3920
3921 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3922 [Steve Henson]
3923
3924 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3925 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3926 [Steve Henson]
3927
3928 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3929 [Steve Henson]
3930
3931 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3932 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3933 [Steve Henson]
3934
3935 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3936 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3937 [Steve Henson]
3938
3939 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3940 [Steve Henson]
3941
3942 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3943 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3944 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3945 [Steve Henson]
3946
3947 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3948 [Steve Henson]
3949
3950 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3951 [Steve Henson]
3952
3953 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3954 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3955 [Steve Henson]
3956
3957 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3958 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3959 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3960 [Steve Henson]
3961
3962 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3963 [Steve Henson]
3964
3965 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3966 and enable MD5.
3967 [Steve Henson]
3968
3969 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3970 FIPS modules versions.
3971 [Steve Henson]
3972
3973 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3974 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3975 until after the certificate request message is received.
3976 [Steve Henson]
3977
3978 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3979 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3980 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3981 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3985 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3986 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3987 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3988 [Steve Henson]
3989
3990 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3991 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3992 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3993 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3994 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3995 and version checking.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3999 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4000 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4001 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4002 [Steve Henson]
4003
4004 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4005 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4006 [Christophe Renou <[email protected]>, Peter Sylvester
4007 <[email protected]>, Tom Wu <[email protected]>, and
4008 Ben Laurie]
4009
4010 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4011 [Steve Henson]
4012
4013 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4014 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4015 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
4016
4017 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4018 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4019 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4020 [Steve Henson]
4021
4022 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4023 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4024
4025 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4026 a few changes are required:
4027
4028 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4029 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4030 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4031 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4032 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4036
4037 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4038 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4039 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4040 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4041 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4042 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4043 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4044 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> for discovering
4045 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4046 [Steve Henson]
4047
4048 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4049 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4050 Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> for discovering this bug.
4051 [Steve Henson]
4052
4053 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4054
4055 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4056 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4057 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4058 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4059 [Antonio Martin]
4060
4061 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4062
4063 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4064 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4065 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4066 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4067 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4068 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4069 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4070 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4071 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4072 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4073 <[email protected]> and Michael Tuexen <[email protected]>
4074 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4075 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4076
4077 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4078 (CVE-2011-4576)
4079 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4080
4081 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4082 Kadianakis <[email protected]> for discovering this issue and
4083 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4084 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4085
4086 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4087 [Andrey Kulikov <[email protected]>]
4088
4089 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4090 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4091 and Rob Austein <[email protected]> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4092 [Rob Austein <[email protected]>]
4093
4094 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4095 [Paul Green <[email protected]>]
4096
4097 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4098 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4099
4100 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4101 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4102
4103 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4104 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4105 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4106
4107 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4108 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4109 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4110
4111 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4112 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4113 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4114 the last update always remained unused).
4115 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4116
4117 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4118 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4119
4120 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4121
4122 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4123 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4124 [Kaspar Brand <[email protected]>]
4125
4126 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4127 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4128 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4129
4130 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4131 [Bodo Moeller]
4132
4133 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4134 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4135 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4136 [Steve Henson]
4137
4138 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4139 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4140
4141 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4142
4143 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4144
4145 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4146
4147 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4148 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4149
4150 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4151 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4152 ambiguous.
4153 [Steve Henson]
4154
4155 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4156
4157 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4158 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4159 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4160 [Steve Henson]
4161
4162 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4163 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4164 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4165 [Ben Laurie]
4166
4167 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4168
4169 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4170 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4171 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4172 [Steve Henson]
4173
4174 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4175 a DLL.
4176 [Steve Henson]
4177
4178 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4179
4180 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4181 (CVE-2010-1633)
4182 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <[email protected]>]
4183
4184 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4185
4186 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4187 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4188 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4189 [Steve Henson]
4190
4191 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4192 [Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4195 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4196 [Willy Weisz <[email protected]>]
4197
4198 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4199 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4200 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4201 [Steve Henson]
4202
4203 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4204 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4205 [Steve Henson]
4206
4207 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4208 some responders need this.
4209 [Steve Henson]
4210
4211 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4212 correctly.
4213 [Julia Lawall <[email protected]>]
4214
4215 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4216 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4217 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4218 [Steve Henson]
4219
4220 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4221 [Steve Henson]
4222
4223 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4224 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4225 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4226 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4227 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4228 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4229 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4230 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4231 [Steve Henson]
4232
4233 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4234 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4235 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4236 [Guenter <[email protected]>]
4237
4238 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4239 [Michael Tuexen <[email protected]>]
4240
4241 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4242 be used on C++.
4243 [Steve Henson]
4244
4245 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4246 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4247 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4248 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4249 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4250 attempting to work them out.
4251 [Steve Henson]
4252
4253 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4254 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4255 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4256 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4257 [Steve Henson]
4258
4259 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4260 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4261 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4262 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4263 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4264 [Steve Henson]
4265
4266 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4267 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4268 you can do:
4269
4270 openssl sha256 foo
4271
4272 as well as:
4273
4274 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4275
4276 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4277
4278 [Steve Henson]
4279
4280 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4281 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4282
4283 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4284 [Oliver Martin <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4285
4286 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4287 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4288 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4289 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4290 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4291 [Steve Henson]
4292
4293 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4294 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4295 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4296 [Steve Henson]
4297
4298 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4299 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4300 [Steve Henson]
4301
4302 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4303 [Jouni Malinen <[email protected]>]
4304
4305 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4306 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4307 [Steve Henson]
4308
4309 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4310 [Ben Laurie]
4311
4312 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4313 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4314 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4315 CONF_VALUE.
4316 [Ben Laurie]
4317
4318 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4319 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4320 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4321 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4322 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4323 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4324 [Steve Henson]
4325
4326 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4327 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4328
4329 This work was sponsored by Google.
4330 [Steve Henson]
4331
4332 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4333 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4334 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4335 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4336 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4337 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4338 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4339 default.
4340
4341 This work was sponsored by Google.
4342 [Steve Henson]
4343
4344 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4345
4346 This work was sponsored by Google.
4347 [Steve Henson]
4348
4349 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4350 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4351 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4352 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4353
4354 This work was sponsored by Google.
4355 [Steve Henson]
4356
4357 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4358 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4359 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4360 CRL functionality in future.
4361
4362 This work was sponsored by Google.
4363 [Steve Henson]
4364
4365 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4366
4367 This work was sponsored by Google.
4368 [Steve Henson]
4369
4370 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4371 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4372
4373 This work was sponsored by Google.
4374 [Steve Henson]
4375
4376 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4377 and URI types are currently supported.
4378
4379 This work was sponsored by Google.
4380 [Steve Henson]
4381
4382 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4383 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4384 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4385 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4386 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4387 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4388 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4389 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4390
4391 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4392 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4393 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4394
4395 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4396 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4397 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4398 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4399
4400 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4401 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4402 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4403 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4404 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4405 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4406 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4407 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4408 of &errno.)
4409 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4410
4411 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4412 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4413 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4414
4415 This work was sponsored by Google.
4416 [Steve Henson]
4417
4418 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4419 [Ben Laurie]
4420
4421 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4422 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4423 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4424 [Ben Laurie]
4425
4426 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4427 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4428 [Nick Mathewson]
4429
4430 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4431 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4432 [Ben Laurie]
4433
4434 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4435 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4436 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4437 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4438 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4439 content types and variants.
4440 [Steve Henson]
4441
4442 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4443 [Steve Henson]
4444
4445 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4446 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4447 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4448 files from the associated perl scripts.
4449 [Steve Henson]
4450
4451 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4452 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4453 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4454
4455 *) s390x assembler pack.
4456 [Andy Polyakov]
4457
4458 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4459 "family."
4460 [Andy Polyakov]
4461
4462 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4463 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4464 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4465 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4466 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4467 to use. For example, specify an option
4468
4469 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4470
4471 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4472 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4473 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4474 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4475 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4476 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4477
4478 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4479 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4480 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4481 return non-zero for success.
4482
4483 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4484 by using
4485
4486 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4487 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4488
4489 where
4490
4491 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4492 void *arg;
4493
4494 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4495 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4496 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4497 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4498 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4499 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4500 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4501 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4502 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4503
4504 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4505 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4506 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4507 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4508 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4509 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4510
4511 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4512 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4513 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4514 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4515 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4516 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4517
4518 [Bodo Moeller]
4519
4520 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4521 MAC.
4522
4523 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4524
4525 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4526 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4527 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4528 supported.
4529
4530 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4531 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4532 SSL_SESSION.
4533
4534 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4535 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4536 with no application modification.
4537
4538 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4539 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4540
4541 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4542 or server extensions to be examined.
4543
4544 This work was sponsored by Google.
4545 [Steve Henson]
4546
4547 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4548 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4549 [Peter Hartley <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4550
4551 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4552 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4553 ciphersuite support.
4554 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4555
4556 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4557 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4558 to output in BER and PEM format.
4559 [Steve Henson]
4560
4561 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4562 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4563 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4564 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4565 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4566 [Steve Henson]
4567
4568 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4569 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4570 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4571 utility.
4572 [Steve Henson]
4573
4574 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4575 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4576 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4577 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4578 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4579 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4580 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4581 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4582 enabled again.
4583
4584 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4585 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4586 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4587 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4588
4589 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4590 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4591 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4592 the default order.
4593 [Bodo Moeller]
4594
4595 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4596 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4597 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4598 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4599 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4600 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4601 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4602 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4603 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4604
4605 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4606 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4607 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4608 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4609 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4610 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4611 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4612 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4613 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4614 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4615 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4616 kinds of kludges.
4617
4618 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4619 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4620 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4621
4622 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4623 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4624 "CAMELLIA256".
4625 [Bodo Moeller]
4626
4627 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4628 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4629 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4630 [Nils Larsch]
4631
4632 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4633 it yet and it is largely untested.
4634 [Steve Henson]
4635
4636 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4637 [Nils Larsch]
4638
4639 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4640 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4641 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4642 [Steve Henson]
4643
4644 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4645 [Andy Polyakov]
4646
4647 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4648 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4649 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4650 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4651 [Steve Henson]
4652
4653 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4654 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4655 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4656 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4657 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4658 [Steve Henson]
4659
4660 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4661 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4662 [Cryptocom]
4663
4664 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4665 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4666 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4667 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4668 [Steve Henson]
4669
4670 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4671 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4672 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4673 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4674 [Steve Henson]
4675
4676 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4677 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4678 [Steve Henson]
4679
4680 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4681 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4682 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4683 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4684 [Steve Henson]
4685
4686 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4687 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4688 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4689 [Steve Henson]
4690
4691 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4692 utility.
4693 [Steve Henson]
4694
4695 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4696 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4697 [Steve Henson]
4698
4699 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4700 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4701 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4702 if necessary.
4703 [Steve Henson]
4704
4705 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4706 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4707 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4708 [Steve Henson]
4709
4710 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4711 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4712 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4713 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4714 [Steve Henson]
4715
4716 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4717 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4718 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4719 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4720 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4721 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4722 [Douglas Stebila]
4723
4724 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4725 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4726 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4727 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4728 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4729
4730 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4731 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4732 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4733 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4734 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4735 protocol).
4736
4737 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4738 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4739 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4740 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4741
4742 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4743 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4744 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4745 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4746 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4747
4748 aECDH - ECDH cert
4749 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4750 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4751
4752 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4753 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4754
4755 [Bodo Moeller]
4756
4757 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4758 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4762 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4763 [Steve Henson]
4764
4765 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4766 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4767 functional reference processing.
4768 [Steve Henson]
4769
4770 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4771 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4772 process.
4773 [Steve Henson]
4774
4775 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4776 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4777 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4778 [Steve Henson]
4779
4780 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4781 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4782 application to support multiple signers.
4783 [Steve Henson]
4784
4785 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4786 digest MAC.
4787 [Steve Henson]
4788
4789 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4790 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4791 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4792 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4793 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4794 [Steve Henson]
4795
4796 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4797 new API.
4798 [Steve Henson]
4799
4800 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4801 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4802 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4803 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4804 a no op.
4805 [Steve Henson]
4806
4807 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4808 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4809 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4810 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4811 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4812 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4813 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4814 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4815 [Steve Henson]
4816
4817 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4818 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4819 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4820 between digests and public key types.
4821 [Steve Henson]
4822
4823 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4824 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4825 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4826 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4827 [Steve Henson]
4828
4829 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4830 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4831 key ASN1 method.
4832 [Steve Henson]
4833
4834 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4835 [Steve Henson]
4836
4837 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4838 pkeyutl.
4839 [Steve Henson]
4840
4841 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4842 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4843 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4844 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4845 pkey, genpkey.
4846 [Steve Henson]
4847
4848 *) BeOS support.
4849 [Oliver Tappe <[email protected]>]
4850
4851 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4852 manual pages.
4853 [Oliver Tappe <[email protected]>]
4854
4855 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4856 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4857 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4858 functionality for RSA.
4859 [Steve Henson]
4860
4861 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4862 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4863 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4864 [Steve Henson]
4865
4866 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4867 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4868 [Steve Henson]
4869
4870 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4871 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4872 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4873 [Steve Henson]
4874
4875 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4876 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4877 [Douglas Stebila]
4878
4879 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4880 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4881 [Steve Henson]
4882
4883 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4884 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4885 type.
4886 [Steve Henson]
4887
4888 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4889 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4890 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4891 structure.
4892 [Steve Henson]
4893
4894 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4895 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4896 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4897 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4898 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4899 of public and private key structures.
4900 [Steve Henson]
4901
4902 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4903 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4904 [Douglas Stebila]
4905
4906 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4907 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4908 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4909
4910 New ciphersuites:
4911 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4912 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4913
4914 New functions:
4915 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4916 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4917 SSL_get_psk_identity
4918 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4919
4920 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4921
4922 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4923 and response verification functionality.
4924 [Zoltán Glózik <[email protected]>, The OpenTSA Project]
4925
4926 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4927 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4928 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4929 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4930 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4931 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4932 server_name extension.
4933
4934 New functions (subject to change):
4935
4936 SSL_get_servername()
4937 SSL_get_servername_type()
4938 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4939
4940 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4941
4942 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4943 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4944 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4945 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4946 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4947
4948 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4949
4950 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4951 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4952 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4953 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4954 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4955 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4956 option.
4957
4958 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4959
4960 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4961 [Andy Polyakov]
4962
4963 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4964 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4965 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4966 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4967 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4968 [Andy Polyakov]
4969
4970 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4971 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4972 macro.
4973 [Bodo Moeller]
4974
4975 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4976 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4977 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4978 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4979 [Andy Polyakov]
4980
4981 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4982 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4983 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4984 using the maximum available value.
4985 [Steve Henson]
4986
4987 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4988 in addition to the text details.
4989 [Bodo Moeller]
4990
4991 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4992 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4993 handle several customised structures at all.
4994 [Steve Henson]
4995
4996 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4997 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4998 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4999 [Steve Henson]
5000
5001 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5002 [Steve Henson]
5003
5004 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5005 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5006 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5007 [Steve Henson]
5008
5009 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5010 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5011 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5012 [Nils Larsch]
5013
5014 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5015 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5016 all fields.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5020 [Steve Henson]
5021
5022 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5023 [NTT]
5024
5025 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5026
5027 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5028 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5029 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5030 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5031 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5032 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5033 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5034 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <[email protected]>]
5035
5036 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5037 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5038 [Tomas Hoger <[email protected]>]
5039
5040 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5041
5042 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5043 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5044
5045 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5046 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5047 [Bodo Moeller]
5048
5049 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5050 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5051 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5052 [Steve Henson]
5053
5054 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5055 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5056 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5057 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5058 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5059 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5060 [Steve Henson]
5061
5062 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5063 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5064 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5065 [Steve Henson]
5066
5067 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5068 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5069 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5070 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5071 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5072 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5073 CVE-2009-4355.
5074 [Steve Henson]
5075
5076 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5077 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5078 [Bodo Moeller]
5079
5080 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5081 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5082 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5083 [Steve Henson]
5084
5085 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5086 [Steve Henson]
5087
5088 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5089 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5090 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5091 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5092 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5093 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5094 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5095 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5096 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5097 [Steve Henson]
5098
5099 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5100 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5101 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5102 [Steve Henson]
5103
5104 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5105 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5106 [Steve Henson]
5107
5108 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5109 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5110 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5111 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5112 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5113 know what you are doing.
5114 [Eric Rescorla <[email protected]>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5115
5116 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5117 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5118 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5119 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5120 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5121 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5122 the handshake.
5123 [Steve Henson]
5124
5125 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5126 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5127 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5128 correctly.
5129 [Julia Lawall <[email protected]>]
5130
5131 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5132 warnings in other configurations.
5133 [Steve Henson]
5134
5135 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5136 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5137 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5138 systems need.
5139 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5140
5141 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5142 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5143 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5144
5145 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5146 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5147 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5148 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5149 [Steve Henson]
5150
5151 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5152 and restored.
5153 [Steve Henson]
5154
5155 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5156 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5157 clash.
5158 [Guenter <[email protected]>]
5159
5160 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5161 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5162 other than a simple chain.
5163 [David Woodhouse <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
5164
5165 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5166 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5167 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5168 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5169 [Steve Henson]
5170
5171 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5172 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5173 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5174 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5175 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5176 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5177 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5178 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5179 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5180
5181 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5182 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5183 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5184 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5185 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5186 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5187 (CVE-2009-1377)
5188 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5189
5190 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5191 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5192 [Daniel Mentz]
5193
5194 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5195 [Darryl Miles <[email protected]>]
5196
5197 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5198 [Ilya O. <[email protected]>]
5199
5200 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5201
5202 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5203 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5204 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5205 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5206 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5207 you're doing.
5208 [Ben Laurie]
5209
5210 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5211
5212 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5213 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5214 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5215 [Paolo Ganci <[email protected]>]
5216
5217 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5218 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5219 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5220 [Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]>]
5221
5222 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5223 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5224 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5225 [Steve Henson]
5226
5227 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5228 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5229 level.
5230 [Steve Henson]
5231
5232 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5233 to handle some structures.
5234 [Steve Henson]
5235
5236 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5237 for a '\n'
5238 [Jeremy Shapiro <[email protected]>]
5239
5240 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5241 [Matthieu Herrb]
5242
5243 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5244 [Steve Henson]
5245
5246 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5247 [Steve Henson]
5248
5249 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5250 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5251 chosen compiler.
5252 [Ben Laurie]
5253
5254 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5255
5256 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5257 (CVE-2008-5077).
5258 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5259
5260 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5261 [Ben Laurie]
5262
5263 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5264 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5265 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5266 [Sander Temme <[email protected]>]
5267
5268 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5269 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5270
5271 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5272 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5273 [Bodo Moeller]
5274
5275 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5276 s_client and s_server.
5277 [Ben Laurie]
5278
5279 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5280 [Rob Austein <[email protected]>]
5281
5282 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5283 [Philip Paeps <[email protected]>]
5284
5285 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5286 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5287 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5288 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5289 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5290 [Bodo Moeller]
5291
5292 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5293
5294 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5295 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5296 [PR #1679]
5297
5298 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5299 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5300 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5301
5302 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5303 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5304 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5305 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5306
5307 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5308 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5309
5310 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5311
5312 *) Various precautionary measures:
5313
5314 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5315
5316 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5317 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5318 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5319
5320 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5321 outside the expected range.
5322
5323 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5324 builds.
5325
5326 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5327
5328 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5329 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5330 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5331
5332 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5333 [Steve Henson]
5334
5335 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5336 [Huang Ying]
5337
5338 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5339
5340 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5341 [Steve Henson]
5342
5343 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5344 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5345 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5346
5347 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5348 [Steve Henson]
5349
5350 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5351 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5352 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5353 files.
5354 [Steve Henson]
5355
5356 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5357
5358 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5359 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5360 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5361 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5362
5363 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5364 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5365 [Joe Orton]
5366
5367 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5368
5369 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5370 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5371 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5372
5373 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5374
5375 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5376 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5377 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5378 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5379 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5380
5381 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5382 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5383 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5384 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5385 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5386 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5387 [Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]>]
5388
5389 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5390
5391 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5392 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5393 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5394 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5395 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5396
5397 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5398 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5399
5400 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5401 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5402 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5403 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5404 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5405
5406 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5407
5408 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5409 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5410 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5411 sets may exist with different names.
5412 [Steve Henson]
5413
5414 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5415 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5416 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5417 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5418 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5419 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5420 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5421 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5422 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5423 implementation.
5424 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5425
5426 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5427 implementation in the following ways:
5428
5429 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5430 hard coded.
5431
5432 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5433 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5434 ignored for embedded content.
5435
5436 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5437 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5438 [Steve Henson]
5439
5440 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5441 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5442 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5443 [Paul Sheer <[email protected]>]
5444
5445 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5446 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5447 [Steve Henson]
5448
5449 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5450 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5451 [Steve Henson]
5452
5453 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5454 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5455 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5456 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5457 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5458 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5459 data.
5460 [Steve Henson]
5461
5462 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5463 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5464 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5465
5466 *) Netware support:
5467
5468 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5469 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5470 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5471 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5472 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5473 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5474 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5475 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5476 platform
5477 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5478 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5479 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5480 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5481 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5482 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5483 [Guenter Knauf <[email protected]>]
5484
5485 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5486 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5487 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5488 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5489 to s_client and s_server.
5490 [Steve Henson]
5491
5492 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5493
5494 *) Fix various bugs:
5495 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5496 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5497 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5498 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5499 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5500
5501 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5502
5503 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5504 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5505 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5506 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5507 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5508 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5509 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5510 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5511 [Andy Polyakov]
5512
5513 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5514 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5515 [Kurt Roeckx <[email protected]>, Peter Hartley <[email protected]>,
5516 Steve Henson]
5517
5518 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5519 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5520 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5521 supported.
5522
5523 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5524 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5525 SSL_SESSION.
5526
5527 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5528 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5529 with no application modification.
5530
5531 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5532 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5533
5534 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5535 or server extensions to be examined.
5536
5537 This work was sponsored by Google.
5538 [Steve Henson]
5539
5540 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5541 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5542 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5543 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5544 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5545 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5546 server_name extension.
5547
5548 New functions (subject to change):
5549
5550 SSL_get_servername()
5551 SSL_get_servername_type()
5552 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5553
5554 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5555
5556 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5557 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5558 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5559 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5560 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5561
5562 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5563
5564 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5565 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5566 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5567 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5568 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5569 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5570 option.
5571
5572 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5573
5574 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5575 [Steve Henson]
5576
5577 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5578 [Andy Polyakov]
5579
5580 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5581 (which previously caused an internal error).
5582 [Bodo Moeller]
5583
5584 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5585 [Ben Laurie]
5586
5587 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5588 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5589
5590 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5591 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5592 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5593
5594 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5595 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5596 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5597 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5598
5599 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5600 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5601 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5602 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5603
5604 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5605 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5606 information. For detailed background information, see
5607 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5608 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5609 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5610 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5611 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5612 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5613 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5614 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5615 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5616 remove a conditional branch.
5617
5618 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5619 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5620 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5621 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5622 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5623 remains as a deprecated alias.
5624
5625 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5626 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5627 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5628 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5629
5630 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5631 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5632 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5633 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5634 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5635 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5636 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5637 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5638
5639 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5640
5641 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5642 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5643 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5644 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5645 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5646 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5647 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5648 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5649 in a different context.
5650 [Bodo Moeller]
5651
5652 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5653 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5654 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5655 [Bodo Moeller]
5656
5657 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5658 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5659 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5660
5661 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5662
5663 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5664 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5665 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5666 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5667 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5668 [Victor Duchovni]
5669
5670 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5671 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5672 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5673 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5674 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5675 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5676 [Bodo Moeller]
5677
5678 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5679 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5680 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5681 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5682 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5683 [Bodo Moeller]
5684
5685 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5686 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5687
5688 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5689 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5690 Improve header file function name parsing.
5691 [Steve Henson]
5692
5693 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5694 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5695 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5696
5697 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5698
5699 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5700 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5701 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5702
5703 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5704 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5705
5706 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5707 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5708
5709 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5710 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5711 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5712
5713 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5714 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5715 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5716 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5717 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5718 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5719 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5720 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5721 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5722
5723 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5724 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5725 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5726 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5727 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5728
5729 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5730 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5731 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5732 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5733 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5734 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5735 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5736 multiple values to extend the available space.
5737
5738 [Bodo Moeller]
5739
5740 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5741
5742 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5743 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5744
5745 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5746 [Ben Laurie]
5747
5748 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5749 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5750 undesirable limitations.
5751 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5752
5753 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5754 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5755 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5756 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5757 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5758 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5759 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5760 [Bodo Moeller]
5761
5762 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5763
5764 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5765 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5766 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5767
5768 The latter two were purportedly from
5769 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5770 appear there.
5771
5772 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5773 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5774 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5775 [Bodo Moeller]
5776
5777 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5778 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5779 [Bodo Moeller]
5780
5781 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5782 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5783 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5784 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5785
5786 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5787 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5788 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5789 [NTT]
5790
5791 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5792 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5793 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5794 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5795 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5796 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5797 [Steve Henson]
5798
5799 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5800
5801 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5802 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5803 [Steve Henson]
5804
5805 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5806 [Austin Ziegler <[email protected]>]
5807
5808 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5809 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5810 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5811 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5812 [Douglas Stebila]
5813
5814 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5815 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5816 [Steve Henson]
5817
5818 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5819 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5820 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5821 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5822 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5823 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5824 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5825 can't be loaded.
5826 [Steve Henson]
5827
5828 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5829 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5830 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5831 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5832 [Steve Henson]
5833
5834 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5835 under VC++ build system.
5836 [Steve Henson]
5837
5838 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5839 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5840 [Richard Levitte]
5841
5842 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5843
5844 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5845 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5846 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5847 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5848 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5849
5850 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5851 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5852 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5853
5854 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5855 [Steve Henson]
5856
5857 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5858 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5859 [Nils Larsch]
5860
5861 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5862 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5863
5864 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5865 [Nick Mathewson]
5866
5867 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5868 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5869
5870 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5871 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5872 [Steve Henson]
5873
5874 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5875 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5876 smime utility.
5877 [Steve Henson]
5878
5879 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5880
5881 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5882 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5883
5884 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5885 [Richard Levitte]
5886
5887 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5888 key into the same file any more.
5889 [Richard Levitte]
5890
5891 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5892 [Andy Polyakov]
5893
5894 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5895 [Stefan <[email protected]]
5896
5897 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5898 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5899 [Richard Levitte]
5900
5901 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5902 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5903 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5904 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5905 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5906 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Geoff Thorpe]
5907
5908 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5909 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5910 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5911 [Steve Henson]
5912
5913 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5914 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5915 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5916 - add new function for parameter creation
5917 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5918 BN_BLINDING parameters
5919 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5920 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5921 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5922 threads.
5923 [Nils Larsch]
5924
5925 *) Add support for DTLS.
5926 [Nagendra Modadugu <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
5927
5928 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5929 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5930 [Walter Goulet]
5931
5932 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5933 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5934 [Nils Larsch]
5935
5936 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5937 the apps/openssl applications.
5938 [Nils Larsch]
5939
5940 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5941 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5942 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5943 [Ben Laurie]
5944
5945 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5946 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5947
5948 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5949 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5950
5951 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5952 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5953 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5954 avoid this algorithm.)
5955
5956 [Bodo Moeller]
5957
5958 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5959 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5960 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5961 [Richard Levitte]
5962
5963 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5964 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5965 [Andy Polyakov]
5966
5967 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5968 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5969 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5970 pod file:
5971
5972 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5973
5974 The blank line is mandatory.
5975
5976 [Steve Henson]
5977
5978 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5979 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5980 sources.
5981 [Steve Henson]
5982
5983 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5984 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5985
5986 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5987 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5988 to support policy checking and print out.
5989 [Steve Henson]
5990
5991 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5992 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5993 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5994 [Michal Ludvig <[email protected]>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5995
5996 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5997 [Geoff Thorpe]
5998
5999 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6000 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6001
6002 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6003 implementation contributed by IBM.
6004 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6005
6006 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6007 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6008 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6009 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6010
6011 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6012 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6013
6014 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6015 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6016 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6017 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6018 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6019 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6020 [Steve Henson]
6021
6022 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6023 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6024 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6025 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6026 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6027 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6028 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6029 [Geoff Thorpe]
6030
6031 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6032 [Steve Henson]
6033
6034 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6035 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6036 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6037 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6038 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6039 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6040 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6041 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6042 [Steve Henson]
6043
6044 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6045 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6046 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6047 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6048 [Steve Henson]
6049
6050 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6051 syntax:
6052
6053 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6054 [Steve Henson]
6055
6056 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6057 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6058 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6059 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6060 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6061 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6062 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6063 [Geoff Thorpe]
6064
6065 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6066 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6067 [Geoff Thorpe]
6068
6069 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6070 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6071 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6072 [Steve Henson]
6073
6074 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6075 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6076 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6077 below).
6078 [Geoff Thorpe]
6079
6080 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6081 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6082 [Richard Levitte]
6083
6084 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6085 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6086 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6087 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6088 [Geoff Thorpe]
6089
6090 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6091 initialised value as BN_new().
6092 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6093
6094 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6095 [Steve Henson]
6096
6097 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6098 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6099 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6100 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6101 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6102 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6103 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6104 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6105 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6106 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6107 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6108 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6109 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6110 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6111 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6112
6113 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6114 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6115 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6116 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6117 [Geoff Thorpe]
6118
6119 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6120 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6121 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6122 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6123 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6124 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6125 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6126 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6127 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6128 [Geoff Thorpe]
6129
6130 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6131 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6132 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6133 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6134 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6135 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6136 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6137 [Geoff Thorpe]
6138
6139 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6140 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6141 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6142 these have been updated also.
6143 [Geoff Thorpe]
6144
6145 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6146 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6147 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6148 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6149 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6150 functions.
6151 [Steve Henson]
6152
6153 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6154 structure of type "other".
6155 [Steve Henson]
6156
6157 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6158 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6159 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6160 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6161 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6162 situation in the script.
6163 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6164
6165 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6166 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6167 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6168 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6169 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6170 used as premaster secret.
6171 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6172
6173 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6174 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6175 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6176
6177 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6178 [Götz Babin-Ebell <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
6179
6180 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6181 control of the error stack.
6182 [Richard Levitte]
6183
6184 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6185 [Richard Levitte]
6186
6187 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6188 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6189 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6190 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6191 [Richard Levitte]
6192
6193 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6194 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6195 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6196 [Richard Levitte]
6197
6198 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6199 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6200 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6201 a memory area.
6202 [Richard Levitte]
6203
6204 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6205 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6206 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6207 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6208 [Richard Levitte]
6209
6210 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6211 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6212 the following flags are defined:
6213
6214 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6215 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6216 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6217 number.
6218
6219 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6220 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6221 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6222 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6223 returns zero.
6224 [Richard Levitte]
6225
6226 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6227 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6228 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6229 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6230 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6231 [Richard Levitte]
6232
6233 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6234 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6235 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6236 [Richard Levitte]
6237
6238 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6239 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6240 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6241 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6242 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6243 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6244 [Richard Levitte]
6245
6246 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6247 req and dirName.
6248 [Steve Henson]
6249
6250 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6251 [Steve Henson]
6252
6253 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6254 [Steve Henson]
6255
6256 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6257 [Steve Henson]
6258
6259 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6260 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6261 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6262 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6263 default implementation more easily.
6264 [Geoff Thorpe]
6265
6266 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6267 in config files.
6268 [Steve Henson]
6269
6270 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6271 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6272 [Richard Levitte]
6273
6274 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6275 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6276 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6277 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6278
6279 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6280 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6281 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6282 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6283 [Steve Henson]
6284
6285 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6286 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6287 to do it.
6288 [Richard Levitte]
6289
6290 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6291 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6292 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6293 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6294 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6295 scalar * generator).
6296 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6297
6298 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6299 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6300 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6301 correctly.
6302 [Steve Henson]
6303
6304 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6305 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6306 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6307 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6308 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6309 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6310 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6311 linker additions, eg;
6312 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6313 [Geoff Thorpe]
6314
6315 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6316 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6317 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6318 [Geoff Thorpe]
6319
6320 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6321 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6322 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <[email protected]>
6323 via PR#459)
6324 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6325
6326 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6327 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6328 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6329 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6330 [Geoff Thorpe]
6331
6332 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6333 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6334 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6335 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6336 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6337 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6338 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6339 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6340 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6341 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6342
6343 Example for using the new callback interface:
6344
6345 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6346 void *my_arg = ...;
6347 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6348
6349 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6350
6351 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);

6358
6359 [Geoff Thorpe]
6360
6361 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6362 available to TLS with the number defined in
6363 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6364 [Richard Levitte]
6365
6366 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6367 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6368
6369 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6370 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6371 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6372 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6373
6374 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6375 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6376
6377 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6378 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6379 well.
6380 [Richard Levitte]
6381
6382 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6383 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6384 [Richard Levitte]
6385
6386 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6387 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6388 and a macro that behave like
6389 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6390
6391 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6392 [Nils Larsch]
6393
6394 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6395 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6396 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6397 if applicable.
6398 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6399
6400 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6401 [Bodo Moeller]
6402
6403 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6404 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6405 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6406 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6407 directory engines/.
6408 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6409 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6410 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6411 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6412 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6413 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6414 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6415 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6416
6417 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6418 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6419 [Richard Levitte]
6420
6421 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6422 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <[email protected]>]
6423
6424 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6425 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6426 files while avoiding the low level API.
6427
6428 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6429 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6430 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6431 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6432
6433 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6434 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6435 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6436 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6437 instead of the low level API.
6438 [Steve Henson]
6439
6440 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6441 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6442 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6443 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6444 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6445 PKCS#7 code.
6446
6447 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6448 down to the template encoder.
6449 [Steve Henson]
6450
6451 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6452 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6453 [Bodo Moeller]
6454
6455 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6456 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6457 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6458 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6459
6460 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6461 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6462
6463 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6464 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6465
6466 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6467 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6468 [Bodo Moeller]
6469
6470 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6471 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6472 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6473 [Bodo Moeller]
6474
6475 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6476 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6477
6478 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6479 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6480
6481 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6482 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6483 New EC_METHOD:
6484
6485 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6486
6487 New API functions:
6488
6489 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6490 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6491 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6492 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6493 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6494 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6495
6496 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6497 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6498 enable it).
6499
6500 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6501 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6502 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6503 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6504 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6505 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6506 various internal method names.)
6507
6508 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6509 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6510
6511 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6512 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6513
6514 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6515 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6516
6517 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6518 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6519 methods are undefined.
6520
6521 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6522 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6523
6524 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6525 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6526 length of the modulus.
6527
6528 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6529 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6530
6531 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6532 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6533
6534 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6535 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6536
6537 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6538 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6539 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6540
6541 BN_GF2m_add
6542 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6543 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6544 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6545 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6546 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6547 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6548 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6549 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6550 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6551
6552 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6553 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6554
6555 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6556 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6557 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6558 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6559 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6560 where
6561 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6562 This applies to the following functions:
6563
6564 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6565 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6566 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6567 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6568 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6569 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6570 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6571 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6572 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6573 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6574
6575 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6576
6577 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6578 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6579
6580 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6581
6582 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6583 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6584 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6585 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6586 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6587
6588 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6589 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6590
6591 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6592 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6593 [Douglas Stebila <[email protected]>]
6594
6595 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6596 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6597
6598 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6599 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6600 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6601 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6602 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6603
6604 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6605 functions
6606 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6607 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6608 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6609 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6610 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6611 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6612 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6613 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6614 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6615 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6616 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6617 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6618
6619 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6620 functions
6621 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6622 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6623 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6624 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6625 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6626
6627 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6628 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6629 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6630 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6631
6632 *) Add functions
6633 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6634 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6635 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6636 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6637 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6638 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6639 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6640
6641 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6642 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6643 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6644 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6645 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6646 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6647 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6648 adding different types of curves.
6649 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6650
6651 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6652 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6653 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6654 [Bodo Moeller]
6655
6656 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6657 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6658
6659 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6660 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6661 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6662 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6663
6664 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6665
6666 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6667 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6668
6669 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6670 library. Most notably,
6671 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6672 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6673 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6674 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6675 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6676 extracted before the specific public key;
6677 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6678 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6679
6680 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6681 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6682 function
6683 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6684 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6685 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6686 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6687 accessed via
6688 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6689 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6690 [Nils Larsch <[email protected], Bodo Moeller]
6691
6692 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6693 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6694 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6695 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6696 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6697 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6698 differing sizes.
6699 [Richard Levitte]
6700
6701 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6702
6703 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6704 sensitive data.
6705 [Benjamin Bennett <[email protected]>]
6706
6707 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6708 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6709 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6710 [Bodo Moeller]
6711
6712 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6713 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6714 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6715 [Victor Duchovni]
6716
6717 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6718 [Steve Henson]
6719
6720 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6721 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6722 [Steve Henson]
6723
6724 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6725 run algorithm test programs.
6726 [Steve Henson]
6727
6728 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6729 [Steve Henson]
6730
6731 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6732 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6733 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6734 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6735 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6736 [Bodo Moeller]
6737
6738 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6739 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6740 [Steve Henson]
6741
6742 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6743
6744 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6745 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6746 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6747
6748 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6749 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6750
6751 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6752 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6753
6754 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6755 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6756 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6757
6758 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6759 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6760 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6761 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6762 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6763 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6764 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6765 [Bodo Moeller]
6766
6767 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6768
6769 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6770 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6771
6772 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6773 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6774 undesirable limitations.
6775 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6776
6777 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6778
6779 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6780 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6781 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6782
6783 The latter two were purportedly from
6784 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6785 appear there.
6786
6787 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6788 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6789 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6790 [Bodo Moeller]
6791
6792 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6793 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6794 [Bodo Moeller]
6795
6796 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6797
6798 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6799 module in FIPS mode.
6800 [Steve Henson]
6801
6802 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6803 [Steve Henson]
6804
6805 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6806 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6807 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6808 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6809 [Steve Henson]
6810
6811 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6812
6813 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6814 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6815 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6816 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6817 the difference induced by this change.
6818 [Andy Polyakov]
6819
6820 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6821
6822 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6823 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6824 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6825 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6826 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6827
6828 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6829 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6830 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6831
6832 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6833 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6834 [Steve Henson]
6835
6836 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6837 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6838 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6839 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6840 biased k.)
6841 [Bodo Moeller]
6842
6843 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6844 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6845 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6846 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6847 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6848
6849 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6850 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6851 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6852 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6853 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6854 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6855
6856 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6857
6858 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6859 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6860 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6861 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6862 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6863 [Bodo Moeller]
6864
6865 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6866 clients need.
6867 [Steve Henson]
6868
6869 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6870 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6871 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6872 [Steve Henson]
6873
6874 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6875 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6876 structures constant.
6877 [Steve Henson]
6878
6879 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6880
6881 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6882 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6883
6884 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6885 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6886 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6887 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6888 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6889 some needed definitions.
6890 [Steve Henson]
6891
6892 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6893 [Ulf Möller]
6894
6895 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6896 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6897 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6898 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6899 [Richard Levitte]
6900
6901 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6902
6903 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6904 server and client random values. Previously
6905 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6906 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6907
6908 This change has negligible security impact because:
6909
6910 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6911 data.
6912
6913 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6914 handshake.
6915
6916 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6917 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6918 values.
6919
6920 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6921 to our attention.
6922
6923 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6924
6925 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6926 [Ulf Möller]
6927
6928 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6929 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6930 [Darren Tucker <[email protected]> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6931
6932 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6933 [Steve Henson]
6934
6935 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6936 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6937 [Andy Polyakov]
6938
6939 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6940 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6941 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
6942
6943 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6944 [Steve Henson]
6945
6946 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6947 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6948 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6949 certificates.
6950 [Steve Henson]
6951
6952 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6953 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6954 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6955 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6956
6957 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6958 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6959 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6960 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6961 been given)
6962 [Richard Levitte]
6963
6964 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6965
6966 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6967 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6968 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6969 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6970 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6971 [Steve Henson]
6972
6973 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6974 [Steve Henson]
6975
6976 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6977 [David Holmes <[email protected]>]
6978
6979 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6980 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6981 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6982 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6983 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6984 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6985 rather than being initialized to 1.
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6989
6990 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6991 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6992 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6993
6994 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6995 (CVE-2004-0112)
6996 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6997
6998 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6999 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7000 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7001 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7002 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7003 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7004 [Richard Levitte]
7005
7006 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7007 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7008 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7009 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7010 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7011 for these cases.
7012 [Steve Henson]
7013
7014 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7015 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7016 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7017 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7018 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7019 [Steve Henson]
7020
7021 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7022 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7023 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7024 < 0.9.7.
7025 [Steve Henson]
7026
7027 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7028 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
7029
7030 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7031 [Steve Henson]
7032
7033 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7034
7035 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7036
7037 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7038 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7039
7040 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7041
7042 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7043 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7044
7045 [Steve Henson]
7046
7047 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7048 exiting on the first error in a request.
7049 [Steve Henson]
7050
7051 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7052 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7053 specifications.
7054 [Steve Henson]
7055
7056 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7057 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7058 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7059 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7060
7061 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7062 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7063 [Richard Levitte]
7064
7065 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7066 blocks during encryption.
7067 [Richard Levitte]
7068
7069 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7070 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7071 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7072 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7073 certain size.
7074 [Steve Henson]
7075
7076 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7077 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7078 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7079 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7080 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7081 parser.
7082 [Steve Henson]
7083
7084 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7085
7086 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7087 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7088 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7089 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7090 [Bodo Moeller]
7091
7092 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7093 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7094 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7095 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7096 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7097
7098 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7099 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7100 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7101 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7102 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7103 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7104 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7105 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7106 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7107 [Bodo Moeller]
7108
7109 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7110 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7111 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7112 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7113 [Geoff Thorpe]
7114
7115 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7116 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7117 [Ulf Moeller]
7118
7119 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7120
7121 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7122 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7123 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7124 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7125 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7126
7127 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7128 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7129 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7130
7131 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7132 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7133 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7134 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7135 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7136
7137 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7138 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7139 used by default when no-err is given.
7140 [Richard Levitte]
7141
7142 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7143 [[email protected] via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7144
7145 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7146 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7147 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7148 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7149 [Kevin Greaney <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7150
7151 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7152 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7153 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7154 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7155
7156 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7157
7158 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7159
7160 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7161
7162 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7163 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7164 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7165 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7166 root is omitted).
7167 [Steve Henson]
7168
7169 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7170 [Steven Reddie <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7171
7172 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7173 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7174 [Steve Henson]
7175
7176 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7177 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7178 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <[email protected]>,
7179 Nils Larsch <[email protected]> via PR#459)
7180 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7181
7182 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7183 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7184 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7185 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7186 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7187 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <[email protected]> as
7188 followup to PR #377.
7189 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7190
7191 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7192 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7193 [Andy Polyakov]
7194
7195 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7196 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7197 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7198 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <[email protected]>]
7199
7200 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7201
7202 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7203 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7204
7205 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7206 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7207 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7208 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7209 client and server.
7210 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <[email protected]> as
7211 PR #377.
7212 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7213
7214 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7215 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7216 removed entirely.
7217 [Richard Levitte]
7218
7219 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7220 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7221 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7222 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7223 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7224 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7225 of libcrypto.
7226 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7227 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7228 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7229 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7230 have to be made anyway).
7231 [Richard Levitte]
7232
7233 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7234 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7235 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7236 [Steve Henson]
7237
7238 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7239 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7240 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7241 [Richard Levitte]
7242
7243 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7244 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7245 [Steven Reddie <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7246
7247 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7248 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7249 edit numbers of the version.
7250 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7251
7252 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7253 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7255
7256 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7257 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7258
7259 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7260 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7261 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7262
7263 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7264 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7265
7266 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7268
7269 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7271
7272 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7273 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7274
7275 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7276 overflows.
7277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7278
7279 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7280 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7282
7283 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7284 representations in a platform independent manner.
7285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7286
7287 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7288 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7290
7291 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7292 indents.
7293 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7294
7295 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7296 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7297
7298 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7299 full. Fixed.
7300 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7301
7302 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7303 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7304 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7305
7306 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7307 unconditionally).
7308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7309
7310 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7312
7313 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7315
7316 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7317 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7318
7319 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7320 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7321
7322 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7323 CBCParameter.
7324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7325
7326 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7328
7329 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7331
7332 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7333 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7334 exploitable.
7335 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7336
7337 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7338 the 0.9.6 release series:
7339
7340 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7341 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7342 (CVE-2002-0657)
7343 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7344
7345 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7346 [Richard Levitte]
7347
7348 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7349 [Michael Bell <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
7350
7351 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7352 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <[email protected]>]
7353
7354 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7355 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7356 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7357 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <[email protected]>]
7358
7359 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7360 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7361 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7362
7363 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7364 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7365 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7366 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7367
7368 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7369 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7370 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7371 some local tweaks:
7372
7373 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7374 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7375 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7376 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7377 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7378 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7379 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7380 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7381 done
7382
7383 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7384 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7385 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7386 [Richard Levitte]
7387
7388 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7389 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7390 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7391 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7392 [Götz Babin-Ebell <[email protected]>]
7393
7394 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7395 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <[email protected]>]
7396
7397 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7398 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7399 [Richard Levitte]
7400
7401 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7402 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7403 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7404 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7405 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7406 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7407 [Steve Henson]
7408
7409 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7410 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7411 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7412 [Steve Henson]
7413
7414 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7415 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <[email protected]>)
7416 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7417
7418 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7419 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7420 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7421 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7422 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7423 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7424 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <[email protected]>)
7425 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7426
7427 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7428 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7429 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7430 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7431 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7432 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7433 [Steve Henson]
7434
7435 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7436 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7437 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7438 declaration has been changed from
7439 int (*cb)()
7440 into
7441 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7442 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7443 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7444 has been changed into
7445 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7446
7447 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7448 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7449 [D. K. Smetters <[email protected]>]
7450
7451 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7452 [Maurice Gittens <[email protected]>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7453
7454 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7455 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7456 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7457 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7458 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7459 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7460 always load it have also been added.
7461 [Steve Henson]
7462
7463 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7464 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7465 [Stephen Sprunk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7466
7467 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7468
7469 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7470 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7471 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7472
7473 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7474 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7475 command line option can be used to specify an
7476 alternative file.
7477 [Steve Henson]
7478
7479 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7480 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7481 [Steve Henson]
7482
7483 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7484 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7485 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7486 [Steve Henson]
7487
7488 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7489 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7490 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7491 to work with the new engine framework.
7492 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7493
7494 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7495 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7496 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7497 to work with the new engine framework.
7498 [Richard Levitte]
7499
7500 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7501 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7502 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7503
7504 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7505 [Robert Dahlem <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7506
7507 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7508 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7509 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7510 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7511 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7512 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7513
7514 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7515 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7516
7517 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7518 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]>]
7519
7520 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7521 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7522 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7523 [Ben Laurie]
7524
7525 *) Add new functions
7526 ERR_peek_last_error
7527 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7528 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7529 These are similar to
7530 ERR_peek_error
7531 ERR_peek_error_line
7532 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7533 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7534 still in the error queue.
7535 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7536
7537 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7538 like:
7539 default_algorithms = ALL
7540 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7541 [Steve Henson]
7542
7543 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7544 [Steve Henson]
7545
7546 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7547 [Steve Henson]
7548
7549 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7550 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7551 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7552 [Stephen Sprunk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7553
7554 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7555 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7556
7557 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7558 [Massimiliano Pala [email protected]]
7559
7560 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7561 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7562 [Bodo Moeller]
7563
7564 *) New functions/macros
7565
7566 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7567 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7568 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7569 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7570
7571 to request calling a callback function
7572
7573 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7574 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7575
7576 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7577 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7578 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7579 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7580 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7581 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7582 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7583 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7584 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7585 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7586
7587 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7588 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7589 [Bodo Moeller]
7590
7591 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7592 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7593 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7594 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7595 the configuration scripts.
7596
7597 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7598 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7599 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7600
7601 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7602 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
7603
7604 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7605 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7606 when reusing an existing buffer.
7607 [Bodo Moeller]
7608
7609 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7610 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7611 [Steve Henson]
7612
7613 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7614 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7615 [Ben Laurie]
7616
7617 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7618 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7619 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7620 has the same effect.
7621 [Massimiliano Pala [email protected]]
7622
7623 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7624 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7625 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7626 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7627 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7628 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7629 exception.
7630
7631 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7632 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7633 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7634 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7635
7636 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7637 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7638 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7639 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7640
7641 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7642 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7643 won't work.
7644
7645 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7646 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7647 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7648 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7649 default), and then completely removed.
7650 [Richard Levitte]
7651
7652 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7653 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7654 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7655 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7656 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7657 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7658 particular extension is supported.
7659 [Steve Henson]
7660
7661 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7662 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7663 [Steve Henson]
7664
7665 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7666 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7667 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7668 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7669 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7670 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7671 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7672 requires the destination to be valid.
7673
7674 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7675 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7676 [Steve Henson]
7677
7678 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7679 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7680 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7681 [Bodo Moeller]
7682
7683 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7684 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7685
7686 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7687 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7688 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7689 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7690 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7691 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7692 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7693 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7694 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7695 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7696 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7697 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7698 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7699 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7700 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7701 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7702 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7703 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7704 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7705 the new code.
7706 [Geoff Thorpe]
7707
7708 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7709 [Steve Henson]
7710
7711 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7712 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7713 become part of libeay.num as well.
7714 [Richard Levitte]
7715
7716 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7717 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7718 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7719 false once a handshake has been completed.
7720 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7721 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7722 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7723 client has followed the request.)
7724 [Bodo Moeller]
7725
7726 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7727 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7728 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7729 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7730
7731 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7732 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7733 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7734 [Bodo Moeller]
7735
7736 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7737 [Steve Henson]
7738
7739 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7740 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7741 "Douglas E. Engert" <[email protected]>.
7742 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7743
7744 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7745 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <[email protected]>).
7746 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7747
7748 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7749 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7750 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7751 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7752 [Geoff Thorpe]
7753
7754 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7755 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7756 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7757 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7758 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7759 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7760 [Geoff Thorpe]
7761
7762 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7763 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7764 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7765 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7766 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7767 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7768 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7769 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7770 [Geoff Thorpe]
7771
7772 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7773 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7774 [Geoff Thorpe]
7775
7776 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7777 [Ben Laurie]
7778
7779 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7780 md_data void pointer.
7781 [Ben Laurie]
7782
7783 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7784 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7785 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7786 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7787 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7788 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7789 [Ben Laurie]
7790
7791 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7792 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7793 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7794 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7795 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7796 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7797 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7798 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7799 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7800 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7801 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7802 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7803 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7804 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7805 rather than letting it slide.
7806
7807 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7808 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7809 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7810 [Geoff Thorpe]
7811
7812 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7813 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7814 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7815 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7816 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7817 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7818 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7819 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7820 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7821 [Geoff Thorpe]
7822
7823 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7824 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7825 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7826 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7827 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7828
7829 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7830 [Geoff Thorpe]
7831
7832 *) Add EVP test program.
7833 [Ben Laurie]
7834
7835 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7836 [Ben Laurie]
7837
7838 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7839 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7840 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7841 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7842 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7843 [Steve Henson]
7844
7845 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7846 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7847 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7848 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7849 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7850 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7851 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7852
7853 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7854 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7855 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7856 Usage example:
7857
7858 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7859
7860 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7861 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7862 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7863 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7864 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7865
7866 [Ben Laurie]
7867
7868 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7869 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7870 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7871 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7872 anyway): E.g.,
7873
7874 des_key_schedule ks;
7875
7876 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7877 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7878
7879 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7880 [Ben Laurie]
7881
7882 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7883 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7884 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7885 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7886 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7887 functions prevents this.
7888 [Steve Henson]
7889
7890 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7891 [Ben Laurie]
7892
7893 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7894 correct _ecb suffix.
7895 [Ben Laurie]
7896
7897 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7898 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7899 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7900 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7901 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7902 [Steve Henson]
7903
7904 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7905 [Richard Levitte]
7906
7907 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7908 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7909 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <[email protected]>]
7910 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7911
7912 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7913 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7914
7915 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7916 [Vern Staats <[email protected]>,
7917 Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>
7918 via Richard Levitte]
7919
7920 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7921 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7922 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7923 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7924 [Geoff Thorpe]
7925
7926 *) Speed up EVP routines.

7942 [Ben Laurie]
7943
7944 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7945 ["Brian Havard" <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7946
7947 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7948 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7949 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7950 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7951 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7952 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7953 [Steve Henson]
7954
7955 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7956 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7957 [Richard Levitte]
7958
7959 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7960 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7961 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7962 [Verdon Walker <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
7963
7964 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7965 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7966 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7967 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7968 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7969 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7970 callback.
7971 [Richard Levitte]
7972
7973 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7974 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7975 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7976 and interrupts/cancellations.
7977 [Richard Levitte]
7978
7979 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7980 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7981 [Steve Henson]
7982
7983 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7984 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7985 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <[email protected]>]
7986
7987 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7988 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7989 kind of callback.
7990 [Richard Levitte]
7991
7992 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7993 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7994 than this minimum value is recommended.
7995 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7996
7997 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7998 that are easily reachable.
7999 [Richard Levitte]
8000
8001 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8002 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8003
8004 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8005
8006 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8007 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8008 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8009 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8010 [Steve Henson]
8011
8012 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8013 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8014 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8015 [Steve Henson]
8016
8017 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8018 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8019 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8020 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8021 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8022 internally such as S/MIME.
8023
8024 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8025 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8026 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8027
8028 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8029 applications.
8030 [Steve Henson]
8031
8032 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8033 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8034 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8035 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8036
8037 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8038
8039 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8040
8041 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8042 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8043 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8044 handling.
8045 [Steve Henson]
8046
8047 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8048 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8049 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8050 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8051 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8052 a window system and the like.
8053 [Richard Levitte]
8054
8055 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8056 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8057 [Geoff]
8058
8059 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8060 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8061 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8062 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8063 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8064 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8065 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8066 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8067 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8068 ENGINE structure.
8069 [Geoff]
8070
8071 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8072 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8073 tag cache.
8074 [Steve Henson]
8075
8076 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8077 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8078 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8079 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8080 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8081 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8082 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8083 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8084 [Geoff]
8085
8086 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8087 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8088 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8089 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8090 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8091 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8092 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8093 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8094 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8095 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8096 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8097 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8098 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8099 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8100 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8101 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8102 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8103 [Geoff]
8104
8105 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8106 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8107 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8108 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8109 internal engine_int.h header.
8110 [Geoff]
8111
8112 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8113 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8114 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8115 modify their own ones).
8116 [Geoff]
8117
8118 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8119 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8120 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8121 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8122 later on via ctrl() commands.
8123 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8124 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8125 structural references.
8126 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8127 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8128 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8129 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8130 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8131 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8132 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8133 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8134 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8135 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8136 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8137 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8138 [Geoff]
8139
8140 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8141 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8142 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8143 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8144 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8145 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8146 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8147 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8148 [Bodo Moeller]
8149
8150 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8151 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8152 [Steve Henson]
8153
8154 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8155 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8156 [Steve Henson]
8157
8158 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8159 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8160 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8161 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8162 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8163 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8164 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8165 [Steve Henson]
8166
8167 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8168 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8169 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8170 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8171 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8172
8173 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8174 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8175 generator).
8176 [Bodo Moeller]
8177
8178 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8179
8180 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8181 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8182 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8183
8184 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8185 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8186
8187 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8188 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8189 Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>]
8190
8191 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8192 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8193
8194 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8195 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8196
8197 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8198
8199 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8200 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8201 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8202 [Bodo Moeller]
8203
8204 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8205 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8206 [Richard Levitte]
8207
8208 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8209 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8210 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8211 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8212 is 40 of more characters long.
8213 [Steve Henson]
8214
8215 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8216 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8217 pointers.
8218 [Steve Henson]
8219
8220 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8221 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8222 [Bodo Moeller]
8223
8224 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8225 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8226 might.
8227 [Steve Henson]
8228
8229 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8230
8231 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8232 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8233
8234 ASN1 error codes
8235 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8236 ...
8237 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8238 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8239 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8240 ...
8241 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8242 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8243
8244 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8245 [Bodo Moeller]
8246
8247 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8248 suffices.
8249 [Bodo Moeller]
8250
8251 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8252 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8253 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8254 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8255 and
8256 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8257
8258 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8259 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8260
8261 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8262 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8263 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8264 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8265 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8266 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8267
8268 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8269 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8270
8271 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8272 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8273
8274 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8275 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8276
8277 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8278 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8279 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8280 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8281
8282 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8283 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8284
8285 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8286 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8287
8288 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8289 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8290 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8291 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8292 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8293 [Richard Levitte]
8294
8295 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8296 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8297 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8298 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8299 [Steve Henson]
8300
8301 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8302 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8303 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8304 trust settings.
8305 [Steve Henson]
8306
8307 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8308 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8309 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8310 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8311 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8312 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8313 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8314 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8315 ocsp utility.
8316 [Steve Henson]
8317
8318 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8319 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8320 [Steve Henson]
8321
8322 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8323 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8324 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8325 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8326 [Steve Henson]
8327
8328 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8329 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8330 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8331 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8332 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8333 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8334 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8335 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8336 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8337 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8338 [Steve Henson]
8339
8340 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8341 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8342 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8343 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8344 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8345 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8346 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8347 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8348
8349 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8350 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8351 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8352 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8353 [Richard Levitte]
8354
8355 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8356 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8357 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8358 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8359 opensslconf.h.
8360 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8361 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8362 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8363 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8364 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8365 what is available.
8366 [Richard Levitte]
8367
8368 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8369 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8370 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8371 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8372 auto incremented.
8373 [Steve Henson]
8374
8375 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8376 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8377 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8378 [Steve Henson]
8379
8380 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8381 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8382 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8383 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8384 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8385 [Steve Henson]
8386
8387 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8388 [Steve Henson]
8389
8390 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8391 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8392 option to ocsp utility.
8393 [Steve Henson]
8394
8395 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8396 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8397 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8398 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8399 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8400 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8401 the request is nonce-less.
8402 [Steve Henson]
8403
8404 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8405 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8406 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8407 [Bodo Moeller]
8408
8409 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8410 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8411 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8412 [Steve Henson]
8413
8414 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8415 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8416 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8417 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8418 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8419 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8420
8421 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8422 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8423 appear to exist.
8424 [Steve Henson]
8425
8426 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8427 additional certificates supplied.
8428 [Steve Henson]
8429
8430 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8431 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8432 signature against.
8433 [Richard Levitte]
8434
8435 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8436 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8437 AES OIDs.
8438
8439 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8440 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8441 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8442 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8443 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8444 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8445 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8446 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8447 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8448
8449 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8450 request to response.
8451 [Steve Henson]
8452
8453 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8454 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8455 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8456 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8457 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8458 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8459 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8460 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8461 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8462 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8463 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8464 [Steve Henson]
8465
8466 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8467 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8468 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8469 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8470 [Steve Henson]
8471
8472 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8473 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8474
8475 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8476 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8477 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8478 [Steve Henson]
8479
8480 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8481 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8482 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8483 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8484 <[email protected]>]
8485
8486 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8487 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8488 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8489 [Steve Henson]
8490
8491 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8492 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8493 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8494 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8495 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8496 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8497 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8498 <[email protected]>]
8499
8500 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8501 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8502 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8503 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8504 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8505 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8506 [Steve Henson]
8507
8508 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8509 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8510 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8511 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8512 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8513 printout format cleaned up.
8514 [Steve Henson]
8515
8516 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8517 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8518 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8519 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8520 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8521 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8522 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8523 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8524 [Steve Henson]
8525
8526 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8527 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8528 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8529 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8530 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8531 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8532 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8533 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8534 [Steve Henson]
8535
8536 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8537 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8538 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8539 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8540 section to use.
8541 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8542
8543 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8544 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8545 parsed, outputted or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8546 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8547 [Steve Henson]
8548
8549 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8550 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8551 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8552 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8553 in the index file.
8554 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8555
8556 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8557 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8558 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8559 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>]
8560
8561 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8562 [Jonathan Bartlett <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
8563
8564 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8565 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8566 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8567 [Steve Henson]
8568
8569 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8570 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8571 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8572 [Bodo Moeller]
8573
8574 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8575 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8576 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8577 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8578 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8579 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8580 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8581 functions are provided:
8582
8583 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8584 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8585 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8586 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8587
8588 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8589 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8590 extended allocation function is enabled.
8591 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8592 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8593 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8594
8595 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8596 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8597 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8598 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8599 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8600 [Geoff Thorpe]
8601
8602 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8603 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8604 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8605 be queried.
8606 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8607 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8608 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8609 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8610
8611 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8612 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8613 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8614 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8615 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8616 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8617 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8618 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8619 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8620 [Richard Levitte]
8621
8622 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8623 provide utility functions which an application needing
8624 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8625 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8626 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8627
8628 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8629 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8630 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8631 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8632 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8633 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8634 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8635 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8636 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8637
8638 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8639 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8640 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8641 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8642 [Steve Henson]
8643
8644 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8645 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8646 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8647 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8648 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8649 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8650 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8651 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8652 will be added elsewhere.
8653 [Steve Henson]
8654
8655 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8656 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8657 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8658 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8659 [Steve Henson]
8660
8661 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8662 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8663 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8664 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8665 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8666 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8667 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8668 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8669 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8670 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8671 to produce the required SET OF.
8672 [Steve Henson]
8673
8674 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8675 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8676 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8677 [Richard Levitte]
8678
8679 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8680 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8681 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8682 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8683 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8684 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8685 [Steve Henson]
8686
8687 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8688 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8689 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8690 [Steve Henson]
8691
8692 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8693 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8694 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8695 [Richard Levitte]
8696
8697 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8698 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8699 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8700 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8701 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8702 [Steve Henson]
8703
8704 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8705 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8706 [Steve Henson]
8707
8708 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8709 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8710 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8711 certificates and CRLs.
8712 [Steve Henson]
8713
8714 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8715 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8716 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8717 [Steve Henson]
8718
8719 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8720 entries for variables.
8721 [Steve Henson]
8722
8723 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8724 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8725 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8726 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8727 [Bodo Moeller]
8728
8729 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8730 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8731 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8732 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8733 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8734 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8735 [Bodo Moeller]
8736
8737 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8738 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8739
8740 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8741 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8742 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8743 [Steve Henson]
8744
8745 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8746 print routines.
8747 [Steve Henson]
8748
8749 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8750 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8751 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8752 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8753 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8754 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8755 [Steve Henson]
8756
8757 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8758 [Steve Henson]
8759
8760 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8761 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8762 for now but they will eventually go away.
8763 [Steve Henson]
8764
8765 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8766 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8767 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8768 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8769 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8770 has also been converted to the new form.
8771 [Steve Henson]
8772
8773 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8774 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8775 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8776 for negative moduli.
8777 [Bodo Moeller]
8778
8779 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8780 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8781 [Bodo Moeller]
8782
8783 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8784 set.
8785 [Bodo Moeller]
8786
8787 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8788 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8789 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8790 type-specific callbacks.
8791 [Geoff Thorpe]
8792
8793 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8794 RFC 2712.
8795 [Veers Staats <[email protected]>,
8796 Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>, via Richard Levitte]
8797
8798 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8799 in sections depending on the subject.
8800 [Richard Levitte]
8801
8802 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8803 Windows.
8804 [Richard Levitte]
8805
8806 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8807 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8808 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8809 be handled deterministically).
8810 [Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
8811
8812 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8813 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8814 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8815 [Bodo Moeller]
8816
8817 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8818 [Bodo Moeller]
8819
8820 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8821 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8822 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8823 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8824 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8825 [Bodo Moeller]
8826
8827 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8828 sign of the number in question.
8829
8830 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8831
8832 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8833 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8834 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8835 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8836 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8837 [Bodo Moeller]
8838
8839 *) New function BN_swap.
8840 [Bodo Moeller]
8841
8842 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8843 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8844 results on negative inputs.
8845 [Bodo Moeller]
8846
8847 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8848 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8849 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8850 [Bodo Moeller]
8851
8852 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8853 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8854 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8855 and add new functions:
8856
8857 BN_nnmod
8858 BN_mod_sqr
8859 BN_mod_add
8860 BN_mod_add_quick
8861 BN_mod_sub
8862 BN_mod_sub_quick
8863 BN_mod_lshift1
8864 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8865 BN_mod_lshift
8866 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8867
8868 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8869
8870 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8871 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8872
8873 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8874 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8875 be reduced modulo m.
8876 [Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
8877
8878#if 0
8879 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8880 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8881 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8882
8883 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8884 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8885 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8886 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8887 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8888 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8889 differing sizes.
8890 [Richard Levitte]
8891#endif
8892
8893 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8894 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8895 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8896 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8897 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8898
8899 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8900 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8901 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8902 cause any problems.
8903 [Bodo Moeller]
8904
8905 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8906 [Richard Levitte]
8907
8908 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8909 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8910 [Richard Levitte]
8911
8912 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8913 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8914 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8915 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8916 time)
8917 [Richard Levitte]
8918
8919 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8920 [Richard Levitte]
8921
8922 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8923 [Richard Levitte]
8924
8925 *) Add the following functions:
8926
8927 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8928 ENGINE_load_chil()
8929 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8930 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8931 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8932
8933 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8934 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8935 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8936 libraries unless it's really needed.
8937
8938 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8939 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8940 declarations (they differed!).
8941 [Richard Levitte]
8942
8943 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8944 [Richard Levitte]
8945
8946 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8947 [Richard Levitte]
8948
8949 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8950 [Bodo Moeller]
8951
8952 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8953 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8954 [Richard Levitte]
8955
8956 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8957 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8958 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>]
8959
8960 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8961 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8962 [Richard Levitte]
8963
8964 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8965 [Richard Levitte]
8966
8967 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8968 [Richard Levitte]
8969
8970 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8971 [Ben Laurie]
8972
8973 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8974 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8975 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8976
8977 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8978 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8979 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8980 different shared library filenames on each system.
8981 [Geoff Thorpe]
8982
8983 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8984 [Richard Levitte]
8985
8986 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8987 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8988 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8989 of two sections.
8990 [Bernd Matthes <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
8991
8992 *) NCONF changes.
8993 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8994 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8995 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8996 binary backward compatibility.
8997 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8998 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8999 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9000 LDAP server.
9001 [Richard Levitte]
9002
9003 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9004 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9005 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9006 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9007 this case.
9008 [Steve Henson]
9009
9010 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9011 [Ben Laurie]
9012
9013 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9014 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9015 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9016 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9017 set.
9018 [Steve Henson]
9019
9020 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9021 [Richard Levitte]
9022
9023 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9024
9025 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9026 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9027 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9028
9029 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9030
9031 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9032
9033 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9034 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9035 [Steve Henson]
9036
9037 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9038
9039 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9040
9041 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9042 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9043
9044 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9045 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9046
9047 [Steve Henson]
9048
9049 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9050 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9051 specifications.
9052 [Steve Henson]
9053
9054 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9055 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9056 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9057 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9058
9059 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9060 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9061 [Richard Levitte]
9062
9063 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9064
9065 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9066 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9067 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9068 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9069 [Bodo Moeller]
9070
9071 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9072 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9073 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9074 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9075 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9076
9077 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9078 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9079 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9080 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9081 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9082 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9083 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9084 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9085 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9086 [Bodo Moeller]
9087
9088 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9089
9090 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9091 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9092 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9093 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9094 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9095
9096 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9097 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9098 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9099
9100 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9101
9102 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9103 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9104 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9105 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9106 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9107 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9108 [Geoff Thorpe]
9109
9110 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9111 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9112 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9113 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9114 (Found by Steve Haslam <[email protected]>.)
9115 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9116
9117 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9118 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9119 [Zeev Lieber <[email protected]>]
9120
9121 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9122 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9123 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9124 EVP_cleanup().
9125 [Richard Levitte]
9126
9127 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9128 being properly terminated.
9129 [Richard Levitte]
9130
9131 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9132 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9133 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9134 [[email protected] via Richard Levitte]
9135
9136 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9137 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9138 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9139 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9140 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9141 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9142 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9143 change.
9144 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9145
9146 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9147 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9148 [Bodo Moeller]
9149
9150 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9151 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9152 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9153 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9154 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9155 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9156 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9157 [Patrick McCormick <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
9158
9159 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9160 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9161 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <[email protected]>
9162 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9163 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9164
9165 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9166 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9167 [Steve Henson]
9168
9169 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9170
9171 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9172 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9173 [Lynn Gazis <[email protected]>]
9174
9175 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9176
9177 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9178 and get fix the header length calculation.
9179 [Florian Weimer <[email protected]>,
9180 Alon Kantor <[email protected]> (and others),
9181 Steve Henson]
9182
9183 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9184 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9185 assertions could call abort()).
9186 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
9187
9188 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9189
9190 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9191 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9192 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9193 supplied buffer.
9194 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <[email protected]>, James Yonan <[email protected]>]
9195
9196 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9197 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9198 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9199 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9200
9201 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9202 [Nils Larsch]
9203
9204 *) New option
9205 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9206 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9207 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9208
9209 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9210 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9211 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9212 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9213 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9214 applications.
9215 [Bodo Moeller]
9216
9217 *) Changes in security patch:
9218
9219 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9220 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9221 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9222 F30602-01-2-0537.
9223
9224 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9225 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9226 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9227 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9228 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <[email protected]>, James Yonan <[email protected]>]
9229
9230 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9231 happen in practice.
9232 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9233
9234 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9235 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9236 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9237
9238 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9239 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9241
9242 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9243 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9244 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9245
9246 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9247
9248 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9249 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9250 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9251
9252 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9253 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
9254
9255 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9256 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9257 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9258 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9259 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9260 <[email protected]> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9261 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9262
9263 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9264 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9265 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9266 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9267 [Bodo Moeller]
9268
9269 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9270 [Bodo Moeller]
9271
9272 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9273 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9274 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9275 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9276 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9277 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
9278
9279 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9280 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9281 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9282 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9283 <[email protected]>).
9284 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9285
9286 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9287 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9288 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9289 BN_generate_prime().)
9290
9291 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9292 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9293 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9294 better.
9295 [Bodo Moeller]
9296
9297 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9298 Tom Wu <[email protected]>.
9299 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9300
9301 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9302 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9303 when using non-blocking I/O.
9304 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9305
9306 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9307 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9308
9309 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9310 Yoram Zahavi <[email protected]>).
9311 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9312
9313 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9314 configuration for the versions before that.
9315 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
9316
9317 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9318 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9319 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9320 <[email protected]>.
9321 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9322
9323 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9324 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9325 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <[email protected]>.
9326 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9327
9328 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9329 value is 0.
9330 [Richard Levitte]
9331
9332 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9333 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9334 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9335
9336 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9337 [Neale Ferguson <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9338
9339 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9340 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9341 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9342 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9343 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9344 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9345 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9346 session cache.
9347
9348 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9349 using a local variable.
9350 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9351
9352 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9353 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9354 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9355
9356 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9357 [Richard Levitte]
9358
9359 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9360 ["Dan S. Camper" <[email protected]>]
9361
9362 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9363 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9364 [D P Chang <[email protected]>]
9365
9366 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9367
9368 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9369 <[email protected]>. (The previous implementation
9370 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9371 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9372 [Bodo Moeller]
9373
9374 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9375 present.
9376 [Steve Henson]
9377
9378 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9379 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9380 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9381 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9382 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9383
9384 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9385 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9386 [Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9387
9388 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9389 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9390 [Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9391
9392 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9393 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9394 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9395 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9396
9397 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9398 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9399 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9400 modules).
9401 [Richard Shapiro <[email protected]>]
9402
9403 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9404 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9405 from 0.9.7.
9406 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <[email protected]>, Mark Cox]
9407
9408 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9409 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9410 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9411 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9412
9413 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9414 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9415 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9416 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9417
9418 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9419 [Gary Benson <[email protected]>]
9420
9421 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9422 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9423 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9424 [Bodo Moeller]
9425
9426 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9427 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9428 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9429 become invalid.
9430 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <[email protected]>
9431
9432 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9433 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9434 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9435 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9436 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9437 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9438 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9439 [Bodo Moeller]
9440
9441 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9442 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9443 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9444 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9445
9446 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9447 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9448 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9449 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9450 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9451 the client will at least see that alert.
9452 [Bodo Moeller]
9453
9454 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9455 correctly.
9456 [Bodo Moeller]
9457
9458 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9459 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9460 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9461
9462 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9463 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9464 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9465 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9466 HelloRequest.
9467
9468 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9469 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9470 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <[email protected]>]
9471
9472 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9473 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9474 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9475 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9476 may leak via logfiles.)
9477
9478 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9479 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9480 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9481 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9482 the legal range.
9483 [Bodo Moeller]
9484
9485 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9486 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <[email protected]>).
9487 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9488
9489 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9490 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9491 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9492 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9493 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9494 [Bodo Moeller]
9495
9496 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9497 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <[email protected]>]
9498
9499 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9500 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9501 followed by modular reduction.
9502 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <[email protected]>]
9503
9504 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9505 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9506 [Bodo Moeller]
9507
9508 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9509 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9510 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9511 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <[email protected]>.)
9512 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9513
9514 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9515 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9516
9517 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9518 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <[email protected]>).
9519 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9520
9521 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9522 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9523 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9524 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9525 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9526 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9527 automatically.
9528 [Tim Mooney <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9529
9530 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9531 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9532 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9533 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9534 [Petr Lampa <[email protected]>]
9535
9536 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9537 [Andy Polyakov]
9538
9539 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9540 specifically for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9541 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9542 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9543 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9544 to allow the necessary settings.
9545 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9546
9547 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9548 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9549 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9550 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9551 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9552
9553 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9554 dh->length and always used
9555
9556 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9557
9558 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9559 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9560 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9561 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9562 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9563 dh->length.
9564
9565 So switch back to
9566
9567 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9568
9569 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9570 otherwise.
9571 [Bodo Moeller]
9572
9573 *) In
9574
9575 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9576 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9577 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9578 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9579
9580 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9581 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9582 always reject numbers >= n.
9583 [Bodo Moeller]
9584
9585 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9586 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9587 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9588 variable) is not atomic.
9589 [Bodo Moeller]
9590
9591 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9592 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9593 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9594 [Travis Vitek <[email protected]>]
9595
9596 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9597 [Albert Chin-A-Young <[email protected]>]
9598
9599 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9600 little-endian MIPS.
9601 [Ralf Baechle <[email protected]>]
9602
9603 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9604 [Richard Levitte]
9605
9606 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9607
9608 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9609 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9610 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <[email protected]>:
9611 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9612 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9613 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9614 to traverse all of 'state'.
9615
9616 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9617 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9618 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9619
9620 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9621 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9622
9623 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9624 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9625 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9626 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9627 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9628 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9629 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9630 further strengthens the PRNG.
9631 [Bodo Moeller]
9632
9633 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9634 [Andy Polyakov]
9635
9636 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9637 an error message in this case.
9638 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9639
9640 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9641 [Steve Henson]
9642
9643 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9644 positive and less than q.
9645 [Bodo Moeller]
9646
9647 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9648 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9649 that itself.
9650 [Paul Rose <[email protected]>]
9651
9652 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9653 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9654 [Bodo Moeller]
9655
9656 *) Fix OAEP check.
9657 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9658
9659 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9660 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9661 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9662 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9663 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9664 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9665 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9666 paper.)
9667
9668 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9669 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9670 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9671 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9672
9673 Both problems are now fixed.
9674 [Bodo Moeller]
9675
9676 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9677 (previously it was 1024).
9678 [Bodo Moeller]
9679
9680 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9681 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9682 [Steve Henson]
9683
9684 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9685 [Steve Henson]
9686
9687 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9688 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9689 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9690 [Steve Henson]
9691
9692 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9693 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9694 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9695 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9696 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9697 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9698 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9699 environment variables.
9700
9701 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9702 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9703 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9704 [Bodo Moeller]
9705
9706 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9707 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9708 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9709 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9710 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9711 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9712 [Bodo Moeller]
9713
9714 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9715 versions of 'test'.
9716 [Bodo Moeller]
9717
9718 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9719
9720 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9721 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <[email protected]>]
9722
9723 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9724 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9725 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9726 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9727 CygWin.
9728 [Richard Levitte]
9729
9730 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9731 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9732 amount of data available.
9733 [Steve Henson, reported by [email protected]]
9734 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9735
9736 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9737 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9738 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9739 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9740 [Bodo Moeller]
9741
9742 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9743 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9744 and UnixWare.
9745 [Richard Levitte]
9746
9747 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9748 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9749 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9750 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9751 [Ulf Moeller]
9752
9753 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9754 [Andy Polyakov]
9755
9756 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9757 [Richard Levitte]
9758
9759 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9760 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9761 [Steve Henson]
9762 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9763
9764 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9765 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9766 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9767 (but broken) behaviour.
9768 [Steve Henson]
9769
9770 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9771 it when found.
9772 [Tim Rice <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9773
9774 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9775 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9776 [Bodo Moeller]
9777
9778 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9779 did not exist.
9780 [Bodo Moeller]
9781
9782 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9783 [Jeremy Cooper <[email protected]>]
9784
9785 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9786 [Richard Levitte]
9787
9788 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9789 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9790 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
9791
9792 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9793 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9794 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9795 [Steve Henson]
9796
9797 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9798 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9799 [Ulf Moeller]
9800
9801 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9802 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9803
9804 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9805
9806 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9807
9808 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9809 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9810 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9811 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9812 [Bodo Moeller]
9813
9814 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9815 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9816
9817 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9818 [Kurt Hockenbury <[email protected]> and
9819 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <[email protected]>]
9820
9821 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9822 was empty.
9823 [Steve Henson]
9824 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9825
9826 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9827 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9828 but the code is actually correct.
9829 [Steve Henson]
9830
9831 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9832 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9833 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9834 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9835 and leaves the highest bit random.
9836 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9837
9838 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9839 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9840 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9841 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9842 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9843 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9844 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9845 [Bodo Moeller]
9846
9847 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9848 [Ulf Moeller]
9849
9850 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9851 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9852 [Steve Henson]
9853
9854 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9855 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9856 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9857 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9858 headers.
9859 [Richard Levitte]
9860
9861 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9862 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9863 and break the signature.
9864 [Steve Henson]
9865 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9866
9867 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9868 DH ciphersuites.
9869 [Steve Henson]
9870
9871 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9872 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9873 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9874 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9875 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9876 [Bodo Moeller]
9877
9878 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9879 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <[email protected]>]
9880
9881 *) ./config script fixes.
9882 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9883
9884 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9885 [Bodo Moeller]
9886
9887 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9888 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9889 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9890 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9891 [Steve Henson, reported by <[email protected]>]
9892
9893 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9894 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9895 [Bodo Moeller]
9896
9897 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9898 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9899 [Steve Henson]
9900
9901 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9902 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9903 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9904 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <[email protected]>]
9905
9906 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9907 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9908
9909 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9910 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9911 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9912 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9913 "Reddie, Steven" <[email protected]>]
9914
9915 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9916 [Bodo Moeller]
9917
9918 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9919 [Ulf Möller]
9920
9921 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9922 [Ulf Möller]
9923
9924 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9925 [Bodo Moeller]
9926
9927 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9928 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9929 [Bodo Moeller]
9930
9931 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9932 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9933 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9934 result of the server certificate verification.)
9935 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9936
9937 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9938 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9939 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9940 [Bodo Moeller]
9941
9942 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9943 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9944 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9945 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9946 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9947 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9948 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9949 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9950 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9951 [Bodo Moeller]
9952
9953 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9954 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9955 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9956 happening the other way round.
9957 [Geoff Thorpe]
9958
9959 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9960 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9961 [Bodo Moeller]
9962
9963 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9964 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9965 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9966 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9967 [Richard Levitte]
9968
9969 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9970 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <[email protected]>]
9971
9972 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9973
9974 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9975 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9976 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9977 that.
9978
9979 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9980
9981 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9982
9983 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9984 static ones.
9985 [Richard Levitte]
9986
9987 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9988
9989 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9990 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9991 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9992 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9993 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <[email protected]>]
9994
9995 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9996 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9997 matter what.
9998 [Richard Levitte]
9999
10000 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10001 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10002
10003 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10004
10005 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10006 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10007 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10008 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10009 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10010 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10011 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10012 by the Finished messages.
10013 [Bodo Moeller]
10014
10015 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10016 [Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>]
10017
10018 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10019 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10020 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10021 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10022 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10023 appropriately.
10024 [Steve Henson]
10025
10026 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10027 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10028 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10029 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10030 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10031 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10032 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10033 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10034 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10035 together.
10036 [Steve Henson]
10037
10038 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10039 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10040 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10041 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10042
10043 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10044 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10045 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10046 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10047 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10048 the answer.
10049
10050 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10051 been tested well enough.
10052 [Richard Levitte]
10053
10054 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10055 it can return incorrect results.
10056 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10057 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10058 [Bodo Moeller]
10059
10060 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10061 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10062 include zero length content when signing messages.
10063 [Steve Henson]
10064
10065 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10066 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10067 [Bodo Möller]
10068
10069 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10070 [Richard Levitte]
10071
10072 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10073 wrong sign.
10074 [Ulf Möller]
10075
10076 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10077 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10078 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10079 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10080 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10081 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <[email protected]>.
10082 [Richard Levitte]
10083
10084 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10085 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]>]
10086
10087 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10088 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <[email protected]>]
10089
10090 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10091 random number < q in the DSA library.
10092 [Ulf Möller]
10093
10094 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10095 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10096 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10097 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10098 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10099 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10100 just makes things more complicated.)
10101 [Bodo Moeller]
10102
10103 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10104 from EGD.
10105 [Ben Laurie]
10106
10107 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10108 work better on such systems.
10109 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
10110
10111 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10112 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10113 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10114 [Steve Henson]
10115
10116 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10117 if there was more than one signature.
10118 [Sven Uszpelkat <[email protected]>]
10119
10120 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10121 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10122 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10123 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10124 [Richard Levitte]
10125
10126 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10127 rather than always using the current time.
10128 [Steve Henson]
10129
10130 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10131 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10132 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10133 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10134 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10135 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10136
10137 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10138 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10139
10140 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10141
10142 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10143 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10144 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10145 the same hash value.
10146
10147 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10148 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10149 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10150 with X509_STORE internally.
10151
10152 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10153 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10154
10155 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10156 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10157 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10158 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10159 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10160 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10161 entirely (maybe later...).
10162
10163 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10164
10165 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10166 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10167 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10168 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10169 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10170 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10171 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10172 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10173
10174 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10175 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10176
10177 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10178 to customise the verify behaviour.
10179 [Steve Henson]
10180
10181 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10182 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10183 [Steve Henson]
10184
10185 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10186 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10187 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10188 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10189 request is improperly encoded.
10190 [Steve Henson]
10191
10192 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10193 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10194 BIO_write(b, ...).
10195
10196 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10197 [[email protected]]
10198
10199 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10200 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10201 words set to zero.)
10202 [Bodo Moeller]
10203
10204 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10205 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10206 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10207 [Bodo Moeller]
10208
10209 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10210 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10211 BIO/fp routines also added.
10212 [Steve Henson]
10213
10214 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10215 [Andreas Schneider <[email protected]>]
10216
10217 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10218 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10219 demos/state_machine.
10220 [Ben Laurie]
10221
10222 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10223 generation and verification.
10224 [Steve Henson]
10225
10226 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10227 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10228 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10229 encode and decode it manually.
10230 [Steve Henson]
10231
10232 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10233 compile under VC++.
10234 [Oscar Jacobsson <[email protected]>]
10235
10236 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10237 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10238 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10239 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <[email protected]>]
10240
10241 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10242 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10243 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10244 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10245 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10246 [Steve Henson]
10247
10248 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10249 [Richard Levitte]
10250
10251 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10252 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10253 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10254
10255 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10256 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10257 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10258 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10259 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10260 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10261 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10262 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10263
10264 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10265 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10266
10267 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10268
10269 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10270 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10271 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10272
10273 [Richard Levitte]
10274
10275 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10276 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10277 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10278 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10279 [Richard Levitte]
10280
10281 *) MD4 implemented.
10282 [Assar Westerlund <[email protected]>, Richard Levitte]
10283
10284 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10285 [Richard Levitte]
10286
10287 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10288 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10289 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10290 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10291 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10292 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10293 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10294 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10295 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10296 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10297 short or long names are found.
10298 [Steve Henson]
10299
10300 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10301 [Scott Uroff <[email protected]>]
10302
10303 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10304 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10305 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10306 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10307
10308 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10309 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10310 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10311 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10312 [Bodo Moeller]
10313
10314 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10315 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10316 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10317 [Richard Levitte]
10318
10319 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10320 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10321 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10322 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10323 to allow the various flags to be set.
10324 [Steve Henson]
10325
10326 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10327 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10328 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10329 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10330 dates to be checked.
10331 [Steve Henson]
10332
10333 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10334 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10335 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10336 [Steve Henson]
10337
10338 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10339 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10340 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10341 [Steve Henson]
10342
10343 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10344 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10345 [Bodo Moeller]
10346
10347 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10348 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10349 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10350 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10351 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10352 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10353 [Richard Levitte]
10354
10355 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10356 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10357 Random Numbers.
10358 [Ulf Möller]
10359
10360 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10361 DSA key.
10362 [Steve Henson]
10363
10364 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10365 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10366 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10367 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10368 form signing output easier to verify.
10369 [Steve Henson]
10370
10371 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10372 [Steve Henson]
10373
10374 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10375 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10376 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10377 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10378 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10379 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10380 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10381 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10382 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10383 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10384 [Steve Henson]
10385
10386 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10387
10388 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10389 the syntax given in objects.README.
10390 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10391 obj_mac.h.
10392 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10393 obj_mac.h.
10394
10395 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10396 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10397 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10398 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10399 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10400 consistent name changes.
10401 [Richard Levitte]
10402
10403 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10404 [Bodo Moeller]
10405
10406 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10407 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10408 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10409 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10410 [Richard Levitte]
10411
10412 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10413 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10414 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10415 of safestack.h .
10416 [Steve Henson]
10417
10418 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10419 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10420 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10421 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10422 [Steve Henson]
10423
10424 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10425 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10426 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10427 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10428 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10429 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10430 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10431 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10432 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10433 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10434 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10435 [Steve Henson]
10436
10437 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10438 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10439 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10440 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10441 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10442 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10443 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10444 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10445 Adrian Peck <[email protected]> for posting details of the modified
10446 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10447 [Steve Henson]
10448
10449 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10450 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10451 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10452 [Phillip Porch <[email protected]>]
10453
10454 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10455 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10456 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10457 omit any duplicate addresses.
10458 [Steve Henson]
10459
10460 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10461 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10462 [Bodo Moeller]
10463
10464 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10465 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10466 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10467 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10468 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10469 [Bodo Moeller]
10470
10471 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10472 software:
10473 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10474 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10475 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10476 Free => OPENSSL_free
10477 [Richard Levitte]
10478
10479 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10480 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10481 [Bodo Moeller]
10482
10483 *) CygWin32 support.
10484 [John Jarvie <[email protected]>]
10485
10486 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10487 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10488 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10489 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10490 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10491 approach.
10492 [Geoff Thorpe]
10493
10494 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10495 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10496 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10497 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10498 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10499 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10500 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10501 [Geoff Thorpe]
10502
10503 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10504 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10505 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10506 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10507 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10508 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10509 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10510 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10511 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10512 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10513 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10514 [Bodo Moeller]
10515
10516 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10517 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10518 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10519 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10520 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10521
10522 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10523 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10524 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10525 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10526 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10527
10528 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10529 ciphers.
10530
10531 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10532 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10533 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10534 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10535
10536 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10537
10538 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10539 of macros.
10540
10541 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10542 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10543 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10544 flags.
10545
10546 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10547 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10548 any installed hardware versions can.
10549 [Steve Henson]
10550
10551 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10552 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10553 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10554 number.
10555 [Bodo Moeller]
10556
10557 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10558 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10559 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10560 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10561 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10562
10563 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10564 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10565 [Steve Henson]
10566
10567 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10568 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10569 [Richard Levitte]
10570
10571 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10572 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10573 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10574 features.
10575 [Steve Henson]
10576
10577 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10578 [Ulf Möller]
10579
10580 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10581 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10582 but no ssl client purpose.
10583 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <[email protected]>]
10584
10585 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10586 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10587 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10588 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10589 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10590 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10591 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10592 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10593 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10594 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10595 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10596 [Steve Henson]
10597
10598 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10599 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10600 be obtained from the error queue.
10601 [Bodo Moeller]
10602
10603 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10604 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10605 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10606 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10607 [Bodo Moeller]
10608
10609 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10610 [Ulf Möller]
10611
10612 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10613 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10614 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10615 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10616 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10617 [Geoff Thorpe]
10618
10619 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10620 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10621 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10622 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10623 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10624 [Geoff Thorpe]
10625
10626 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10627 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10628 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10629 may not be NULL.
10630 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
10631
10632 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10633 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10634 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10635 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10636 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10637 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10638 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10639 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10640 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10641 or "the configuration storage API"...
10642
10643 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10644
10645 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10646 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10647
10648 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10649
10650 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10651
10652 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10653 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10654 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10655 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10656 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10657 arguments as the old CONF_* functions with the exception of the
10658 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10659
10660 To make it easier to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10661 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10662 [Richard Levitte]
10663
10664 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10665 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10666 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10667 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10668 [Bodo Moeller]
10669
10670 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10671 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10672 them in a portable way.
10673 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10674
10675 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10676
10677 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10678
10679 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10680 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10681
10682 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10683 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10684 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10685 <[email protected]>]
10686
10687 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10688 was larger than the MD block size.
10689 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <[email protected]>]
10690
10691 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10692 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10693 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10694 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10695 components.
10696 [Steve Henson]
10697
10698 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10699 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10700 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <[email protected]>]
10701
10702 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10703 discouraged.
10704 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <[email protected]>]
10705
10706 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10707 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10708 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10709 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10710 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10711 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10712
10713 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10714 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10715
10716 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10717 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10718 [Bodo Moeller]
10719
10720 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10721 [Bodo Moeller]
10722
10723 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10724 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10725 its own key.
10726 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10727 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10728 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10729 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10730 [Bodo Moeller]
10731
10732 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10733 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10734 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10735 does not suppress any output.
10736 [Richard Levitte]
10737
10738 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10739 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10740 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10741 with all the associated security issues.
10742
10743 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10744 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10745 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10746 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10747 use the value in the default purpose.
10748 [Steve Henson]
10749
10750 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10751 and fix a memory leak.
10752 [Steve Henson]
10753
10754 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10755 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10756 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10757 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10758 [Bodo Moeller]
10759
10760 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10761 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10762 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10763 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10764 [Bodo Moeller]
10765
10766 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10767 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10768 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10769 [Bodo Moeller]
10770
10771 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10772 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10773 [Bodo Moeller]
10774
10775 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10776 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10777 which was free.
10778 [Steve Henson]
10779
10780 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10781 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10782 [Bodo Moeller]
10783
10784 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10785 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10786 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10787 [Bodo Moeller]
10788
10789 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10790 number generation fails.
10791 [Bodo Moeller]
10792
10793 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10794 [Bodo Moeller]
10795
10796 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10797 [Rolf Haberrecker <[email protected]>]
10798
10799 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10800 [Ulf Möller]
10801
10802 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10803 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]> and Anonymous]
10804
10805 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10806 [Lutz Behnke <[email protected]>]
10807
10808 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10809
10810 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10811 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10812 [Steve Henson]
10813
10814 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10815 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <[email protected]>]
10816
10817 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10818 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10819 [Ulf Möller]
10820
10821 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10822 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10823 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10824 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10825 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10826 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <[email protected]>]
10827
10828 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10829 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10830 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10831 for example.
10832 [Steve Henson]
10833
10834 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10835 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10836 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10837 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10838 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10839 counter, some don't.)
10840 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10841 counters or duplicate objects.
10842 [Steve Henson]
10843
10844 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10845 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10846 [Steve Henson]
10847
10848 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10849 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10850 pointed out by David Sacerdote <[email protected]>]
10851
10852 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10853 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10854 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10855 or -rand.
10856 [Ulf Möller]
10857
10858 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10859 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10860 [Steve Henson]
10861
10862 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10863 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10864 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10865 cipher list.
10866 [Steve Henson]
10867
10868 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10869 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10870 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10871 [Steve Henson]
10872
10873 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10874 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10875 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10876 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10877 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10878 should work without changes.
10879 [Richard Levitte]
10880
10881 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10882 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10883 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10884 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10885 must be defined. E.g.,
10886 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10887 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10888 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10889 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10890
10891 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10892 record layer.
10893 [Bodo Moeller]
10894
10895 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10896 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10897 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10898 [Steve Henson]
10899
10900 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10901 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10902 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10903 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10904 [Steve Henson]
10905
10906 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10907 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10908 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10909 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10910 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10911 is prompted for as usual.
10912 [Steve Henson]
10913
10914 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10915 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10916 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10917 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10918
10919 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10920 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10921 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10922 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10923 [Steve Henson]
10924
10925 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10926 [Andy Polyakov]
10927
10928 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10929 of seed file.
10930 [Steve Henson]
10931
10932 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10933 [Bodo Moeller]
10934
10935 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10936 [Steve Henson]
10937
10938 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10939 bits.
10940 [Ulf Möller]
10941
10942 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10943 [Ulf Möller]
10944
10945 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10946 [Andy Polyakov]
10947
10948 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10949 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10950 [Ulf Möller]
10951
10952 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10953 options to produce them.
10954 [Steve Henson]
10955
10956 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10957 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10958 [Ulf Möller]
10959
10960 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10961 for p == 0.
10962 [Ulf Möller]
10963
10964 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10965 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10966 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10967 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10968 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10969 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10970 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10971 [Steve Henson]
10972
10973 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10974 [Steve Henson]
10975
10976 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10977 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10978 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10979 [Bodo Moeller]
10980
10981 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10982 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
10983
10984 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10985 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10986 [Ulf Möller]
10987
10988 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10989 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10990 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10991 has already seen).
10992 [Bodo Moeller]
10993
10994 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10995 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10996
10997 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10998 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10999 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11000 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11001 generation becomes much faster.
11002
11003 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11004 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11005 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11006 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11007 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11008 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11009 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11010 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11011 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11012 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11013 [Bodo Moeller]
11014
11015 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11016 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11017 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11018 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11019 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11020 trial division stage.
11021 [Bodo Moeller]
11022
11023 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11024 as ASN1_TIME.
11025 [Steve Henson]
11026
11027 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11028 [Steve Henson]
11029
11030 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11031 [Ulf Möller]
11032
11033 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11034 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11035 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11036 the comments.
11037 [Ulf Möller]
11038
11039 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11040 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11041 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11042 [Bodo Moeller]
11043
11044 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11045 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11046 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11047 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11048
11049 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11050 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11051 [Steve Henson]
11052
11053 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11054 [Ulf Möller]
11055
11056 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11057 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11058 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11059 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11060 [Ulf Möller]
11061
11062 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11063 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11064 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11065 [Ulf Möller]
11066
11067 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11068 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11069 (instead of parameters) in future.
11070 [Steve Henson]
11071
11072 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11073 when a new cipher list is set.
11074 [Steve Henson]
11075
11076 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11077 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11078 wrong.
11079
11080 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11081 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11082 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11083
11084 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11085 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11086 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11087 an error is flagged.
11088
11089 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11090 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11091 the readability was also increased :-)
11092 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]>]
11093
11094 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11095 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11096 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11097 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11098 as the root CA.
11099 [Steve Henson]
11100
11101 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11102 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11103 [Steve Henson]
11104
11105 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11106 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11107 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11108 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11109 instead.
11110
11111 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11112 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11113 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11114 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11115 because they handle more complex structures.)
11116 [Steve Henson]
11117
11118 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11119 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11120 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11121 [Kris Kennaway <[email protected]>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11122
11123 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11124 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11125 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11126 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11127 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11128 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11129 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11130 [Ulf Möller]
11131
11132 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11133 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11134 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11135 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11136 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11137 [Bodo Moeller]
11138
11139 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11140 [Bodo Moeller]
11141
11142 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11143 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11144 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11145 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11146 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11147 to use this.
11148
11149 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11150 code.
11151 [Steve Henson]
11152
11153 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11154 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11155 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11156 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11157 [Steve Henson]
11158
11159 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11160 [Ulf Möller]
11161
11162 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11163 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11164 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11165 international characters are used.
11166
11167 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11168 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11169 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11170 in ASN1 order.
11171 [Steve Henson]
11172
11173 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11174 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11175 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11176 request.
11177
11178 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11179 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11180 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11181 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11182 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11183 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11184
11185 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11186 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11187 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11188 be handled by the string table functions.
11189
11190 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11191 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11192 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11193 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11194 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11195 types at all.
11196 [Steve Henson]
11197
11198 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11199 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11200 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11201 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11202 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11203
11204 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11205 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11206 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11207 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11208 [Bodo Moeller]
11209
11210 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11211 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11212 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11213 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11214 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11215 SHA1.
11216 [Andy Polyakov]
11217
11218 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11219 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11220 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11221 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11222 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11223 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11224 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11225 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11226
11227 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11228 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11229 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11230 [Steve Henson]
11231
11232 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11233 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11234 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11235 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11236 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11237 support to pkcs8 application.
11238 [Steve Henson]
11239
11240 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11241 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11242 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11243 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11244 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11245 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11246 [Bodo Moeller]
11247
11248 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11249 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11250 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11251 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11252 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11253 consistency.
11254 [Bodo Moeller]
11255
11256 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11257 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11258 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11259 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11260 example.
11261 [Steve Henson]
11262
11263 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11264 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11265 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11266 and any application specific purposes.
11267
11268 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11269 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11270 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11271 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11272 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11273 if the certificate is self signed.
11274 [Steve Henson]
11275
11276 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11277 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11278 [Steve Henson]
11279
11280 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11281 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11282 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11283 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11284 [Steve Henson]
11285
11286 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11287 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11288 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11289 Update documentation.
11290 [Steve Henson]
11291
11292 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11293 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11294 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11295 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11296 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11297 [Steve Henson]
11298
11299 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11300 for details.
11301 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <[email protected]>]
11302
11303 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11304 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11305 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11306 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11307 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11308 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11309 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11310 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11311 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11312 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11313
11314 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11315
11316 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11317 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11318 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11319 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11320 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11321
11322 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11323 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11324 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11325 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11326 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11327 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11328 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11329 request additional information:
11330 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11331 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11332
11333 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11334 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11335 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11336 options.
11337
11338 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11339 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11340
11341 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11342 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11343 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11344
11345 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11346 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11347
11348 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11349 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11350 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11351 algorithm.
11352 [Steve Henson]
11353
11354 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11355 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11356 [Frans Heymans <[email protected]>, modified by Steve Henson]
11357
11358 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11359 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11360 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11361 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11362 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11363 included in OpenSSL.
11364 [Steve Henson]
11365
11366 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11367 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11368 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11369 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11370 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11371 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11372 [Bodo Moeller]
11373
11374 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11375 PKCS12 structure.
11376 [Steve Henson]
11377
11378 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11379 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11380 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11381 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11382 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11383 structure.
11384 [Steve Henson]
11385
11386 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11387 need initialising.
11388 [Steve Henson]
11389
11390 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11391 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11392 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11393 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11394 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11395 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11396 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11397 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11398 be maintained manually.
11399
11400 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11401 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11402 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11403 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11404 work because people forget to call this function]
11405 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11406 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11407 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11408 [Steve Henson]
11409
11410 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11411 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11412 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11413 should be discouraged from doing it.
11414 [Ben Laurie]
11415
11416 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11417 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11418 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11419 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11420 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11421 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11422 [Steve Henson]
11423
11424 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11425 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11426 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11427
11428 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11429 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11430 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11431
11432 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11433 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11434 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11435 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11436 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11437 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11438
11439 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11440 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11441 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11442
11443 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11444 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11445 and vice versa.
11446
11447 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11448 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11449 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11450 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11451 [Steve Henson]
11452
11453 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11454 [Steve Henson]
11455
11456 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11457 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11458 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11459 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11460 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11461 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11462 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11463 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11464 keys so we should be OK.
11465
11466 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11467 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11468 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11469 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11470 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11471 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11472 stay in the name of compatibility.
11473
11474 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11475 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11476 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11477
11478 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11479 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11480 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11481 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11482 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11483 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11484 supplied key).
11485 [Steve Henson]
11486
11487 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11488 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11489 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11490 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11491 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11492 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11493 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11494 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11495 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11496 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11497 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11498 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11499 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11500 [Steve Henson]
11501
11502 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11503 [Steve Henson]
11504
11505 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11506 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11507 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11508 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11509 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11510 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11511 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11512 openssl verify ss.pem
11513 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11514 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11515 is OK.
11516 [Steve Henson]
11517
11518 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11519 (and add it to external session representation).
11520 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11521 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11522 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11523 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11524 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11525 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11526 security holes.
11527 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11528
11529 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11530 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11531 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11532 [Po-Cheng Chen <[email protected]>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11533
11534 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11535 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11536 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11537 [Steve Henson]
11538
11539 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11540 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11541 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11542 code.
11543 [Steve Henson]
11544
11545 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11546 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11547 [Geoff Thorpe <[email protected]>]
11548
11549 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11550 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11551 certificate auxiliary information.
11552 [Steve Henson]
11553
11554 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11555 the 'enc' command.
11556 [Steve Henson]
11557
11558 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11559 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11560 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11561 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11562 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11563 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11564 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11565 [Richard Levitte]
11566
11567 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11568 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11569 [Steve Henson]
11570
11571 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11572 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11573 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11574 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11575 [Steve Henson]
11576
11577 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11578 [Steve Henson]
11579
11580 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11581 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11582 [Steve Henson]
11583
11584 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11585 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11586 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11587 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11588 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11589 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11590 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11591 using the new 'x509' options.
11592
11593 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11594 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11595 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11596 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11597 for all purposes.
11598 [Steve Henson]
11599
11600 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11601 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11602 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11603 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11604 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11605 [Mark Cox]
11606
11607 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11608 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11609 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11610 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11611 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11612 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11613 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11614 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11615 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11616 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11617 [Steve Henson]
11618
11619 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11620 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11621 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11622 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11623 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11624 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11625 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11626 [Steve Henson]
11627
11628 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11629 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11630 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11631 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11632 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11633 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11634 openssl.cnf for more info.
11635 [Steve Henson]
11636
11637 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11638 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11639 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11640 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11641 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11642 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11643 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11644 md should be large enough anyway.
11645 [Bodo Moeller]
11646
11647 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11648 for handling the random seed file.
11649
11650 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11651 ca,
11652 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11653 s_client,
11654 s_server,
11655 x509 (when signing).
11656 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11657 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11658 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11659
11660 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11661 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11662 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11663 that support '-rand'.
11664 [Bodo Moeller]
11665
11666 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11667 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11668 [Bodo Moeller]
11669
11670 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11671 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11672 [Bill Perry]
11673
11674 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11675 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11676 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11677 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11678 is suitable.
11679 [Steve Henson]
11680
11681 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11682 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11683 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11684 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11685 [Steve Henson]
11686
11687 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11688 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11689 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11690 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11691 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11692 print out all the purposes.
11693 [Steve Henson]
11694
11695 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11696 functions.
11697 [Steve Henson]
11698
11699 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11700 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11701 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11702 single function call.
11703 [Steve Henson]
11704
11705 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11706 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11707 [Andy Polyakov]
11708
11709 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11710 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11711 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11712 [Steve Henson]
11713
11714 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11715 when producing the local key id.
11716 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
11717
11718 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11719 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11720 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11721 "server.pem".
11722 [Steve Henson]
11723
11724 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11725 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11726 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11727 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11728 [Steve Henson]
11729
11730 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11731 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11732 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11733 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <[email protected]>]
11734
11735 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11736 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11737 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11738 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
11739
11740 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11741 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11742 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11743 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11744 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11745 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11746 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11747 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11748 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11749 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11750 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11751 trivial: move one line.
11752 [Steve Henson, reported by [email protected] (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11753
11754 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11755 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11756 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11757 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11758 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11759 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11760 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11761 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11762 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11763 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11764 with an event loop for example.
11765 [Steve Henson]
11766
11767 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11768 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11769 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11770 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11771 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11772 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11773 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11774 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11775 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11776 [Steve Henson]
11777
11778 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11779 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11780 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11781 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11782 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11783 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11784 [Steve Henson]
11785
11786 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11787 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11788 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11789 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11790
11791 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11792 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11793 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11794 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11795 key generation.
11796 [Steve Henson]
11797
11798 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11799 (still largely untested)
11800 [Bodo Moeller]
11801
11802 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11803 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11804 [Steve Henson]
11805
11806 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11807 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11808 [Steve Henson]
11809
11810 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11811 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11812 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11813 [Bodo Moeller]
11814
11815 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11816 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11817 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11818 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11819 Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]> but extensively modified.
11820 [Steve Henson]
11821
11822 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11823 [Andy Polyakov]
11824
11825 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11826 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11827 <[email protected]>. The new option is called -extensions
11828 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11829 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11830 in ca.
11831 [Steve Henson]
11832
11833 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11834 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11835 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11836 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11837 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11838 [Steve Henson]
11839
11840 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11841 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11842 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11843 are otherwise ignored at present.
11844 [Steve Henson]
11845
11846 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11847 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11848 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11849 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11850 copied until the next read.
11851 [Steve Henson]
11852
11853 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11854 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11855 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11856 [Steve Henson]
11857
11858 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11859 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11860 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11861 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11862 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11863 associated functions.
11864 [Steve Henson]
11865
11866 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11867 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11868 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11869 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11870 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11871 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11872 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11873 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11874 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11875 memory BIOs.
11876 [Steve Henson]
11877
11878 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11879 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11880 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11881 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11882 [Bodo Moeller]
11883
11884 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11885 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11886 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11887 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11888 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11889 functionality.
11890 [Steve Henson]
11891
11892 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11893 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11894 under Win32.
11895 [Steve Henson]
11896
11897 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11898 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11899 extensions to be obtained and added.
11900 [Steve Henson]
11901
11902 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11903 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11904 [Bodo Moeller]
11905
11906 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11907
11908 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11909 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11910
11911 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11912 [Andrija Antonijevic <[email protected]>]
11913
11914 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11915 program.
11916 [Steve Henson]
11917
11918 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11919 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11920 DH parameters contain its length).
11921
11922 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11923 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11924 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11925 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11926 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11927 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11928 utter importance to use
11929 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11930 or
11931 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11932 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11933 attacks may become possible!
11934 [Bodo Moeller]
11935
11936 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11937 [Bodo Moeller]
11938
11939 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11940 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11941 [Steve Henson]
11942
11943 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11944 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11945 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11946 or long name.
11947 [Steve Henson]
11948
11949 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11950 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11951 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11952 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11953 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11954 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11955 private key operations.
11956 [Steve Henson]
11957
11958 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11959 [Andy Polyakov]
11960
11961 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11962 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11963 to
11964 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11965 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11966 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11967 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11968 the password callback is called.
11969 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11970
11971 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11972
11973 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11974 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11975 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11976 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11977 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11978 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11979 this will work.
11980
11981 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11982 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11983 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11984 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11985 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11986 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11987 [Bodo Moeller]
11988
11989 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11990 [Andy Polyakov]
11991
11992 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11993 delete an unused file.
11994 [Ulf Möller]
11995
11996 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11997 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11998 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11999 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12000 [Steve Henson]
12001
12002 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12003 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12004 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12005 of an error.
12006 [Bodo Moeller]
12007
12008 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12009 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12010 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12011
12012 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12013 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12014 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12015 comparison" warnings.
12016 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12017 [Steve Henson]
12018
12019 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12020 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12021 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12022 [Steve Henson]
12023
12024 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12025 [Roman E. Pavlov <[email protected]>]
12026
12027 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12028 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12029
12030 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12031 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12032 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12033
12034 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12035 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12036 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12037 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12038 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12039 this bug.
12040 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <[email protected]>]
12041
12042 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12043 The interface is as follows:
12044 Applications can use
12045 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12046 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12047 "off" is now the default.
12048 The library internally uses
12049 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12050 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12051 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12052
12053 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12054 even the default) are now avoided.
12055
12056 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12057 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12058 than just having a counter.
12059
12060 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12061
12062 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12063 extensions.
12064 [Bodo Moeller]
12065
12066 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12067 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12068 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12069 Initial "mode" flags are:
12070
12071 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12072 a single record has been written.
12073 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12074 retries use the same buffer location.
12075 (But all of the contents must be
12076 copied!)
12077 [Bodo Moeller]
12078
12079 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12080 worked.
12081
12082 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12083 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <[email protected]>]
12084
12085 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12086 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12087 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12088 [Steve Henson]
12089
12090 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12091 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12092 test programs.
12093 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12094
12095 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12096 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12097 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12098 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12099 point to the end.
12100 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12101 <[email protected]>]
12102
12103 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12104 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12105 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12106 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12107 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12108 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12109 [Steve Henson]
12110
12111 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12112 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12113 necessary function names.
12114 [Steve Henson]
12115
12116 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12117 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12118 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12119 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12120 [Bodo Moeller]
12121
12122 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12123 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12124 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12125 [Steve Henson]
12126
12127 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12128 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12129 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12130 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12131 such programs?)
12132 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12133 need locks.
12134 [Bodo Moeller]
12135
12136 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12137 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12138 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12139 [Bodo Moeller]
12140
12141 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12142 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12143 appropriate.
12144 [Bodo Moeller]
12145
12146 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12147 for the encoded length.
12148 [Jeon KyoungHo <[email protected]>]
12149
12150 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12151 [Steve Henson]
12152
12153 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12154 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12155 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12156 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12157 [Steve Henson]
12158
12159 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12160 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12161 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12162
12163 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12164 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12165 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12166 unusual formatting.
12167 [Steve Henson]
12168
12169 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12170 to use the new extension code.
12171 [Steve Henson]
12172
12173 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12174 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12175 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12176 constant.
12177 [Steve Henson]
12178
12179 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12180 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12181 according to Mark Crispin <[email protected]>.
12182 [Bodo Moeller]
12183
12184#if 0
12185 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12186 [Ben Laurie]
12187#else
12188 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12189 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12190 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12191#endif
12192
12193 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12194 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12195 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12196 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12197 [Ben Laurie]
12198
12199 *) DES library cleanups.
12200 [Ulf Möller]
12201
12202 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12203 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12204 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12205 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12206 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12207 of v2.0.
12208 [Steve Henson]
12209
12210 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12211 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12212 [Bodo Moeller]
12213
12214 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12215 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12216 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12217 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12218 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12219 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12220 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12221 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12222 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12223 [Steve Henson]
12224
12225 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12226 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12227 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12228 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12229 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12230 value doesn't matter.
12231 [Steve Henson]
12232
12233 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12234 support mutable.
12235 [Ben Laurie]
12236
12237 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12238 [Ray Miller <[email protected]>]
12239 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12240 [Christian Forster <[email protected]>]
12241
12242 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12243 [Ulf Möller]
12244
12245 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12246 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12247 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
12248
12249 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12250 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
12251
12252 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12253 [Ben Laurie]
12254
12255 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12256 [Ben Laurie]
12257
12258 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12259 [Ben Laurie]
12260
12261 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12262 [Bodo Moeller]
12263
12264
12265 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12266
12267 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12268
12269 *) Updated some demos.
12270 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12271
12272 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12273 [Wu Zhigang]
12274
12275 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12276 [Steve Henson]
12277
12278 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12279 [Steve Henson]
12280
12281 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12282 instead of using a fixed path.
12283 [Bodo Moeller]
12284
12285 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12286 [Andy Polyakov]
12287
12288 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12289 [Richard Levitte]
12290
12291
12292 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12293
12294 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12295 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12296 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12297
12298 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12299 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12300 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12301 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12302 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12303 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12304 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12305 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12306 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12307 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12308 [Steve Henson]
12309
12310 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12311 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12312 [Steve Henson]
12313
12314 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12315 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12316 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12317 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12318 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12319
12320 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12321 [Bodo Moeller]
12322
12323 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12324 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12325 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12326 [Steve Henson]
12327
12328 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12329 [Ben Laurie]
12330
12331 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12332 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12333 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12334 key elements as negative integers.
12335 [Steve Henson]
12336
12337 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12338 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12339
12340 *) VMS support.
12341 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12342
12343 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12344 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12345 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12346 [Steve Henson]
12347
12348 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12349 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12350 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12351 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12352 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12353 [Bodo Moeller]
12354
12355 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12356 [Ulf Möller]
12357
12358 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12359 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12360 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12361 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12362
12363 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12364 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12365 [Sebastian Akerman <[email protected]>, modified by Steve]
12366
12367 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12368 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12369 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12370 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12371 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12372 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12373 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12374 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12375 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12376
12377 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12378 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12379 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12380 does not influence s as it used to.
12381
12382 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12383 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12384 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12385 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12386 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12387 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12388 [Bodo Moeller]
12389
12390 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12391 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12392 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12393 key type.
12394 [Steve Henson]
12395
12396 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12397 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12398 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12399 and 'x509').
12400 [Steve Henson]
12401
12402 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12403 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12404 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12405 extension option.
12406 [Steve Henson]
12407
12408 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12409 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12410 [Ben Laurie]
12411
12412 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12413 [Janez Jere <[email protected]>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12414
12415 *) Support Mingw32.
12416 [Ulf Möller]
12417
12418 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12419 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12420
12421 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12422 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12423
12424 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12425 [Ulf Möller]
12426
12427 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12428 [Anonymous]
12429
12430 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12432
12433 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12434 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12435 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12436 DER-encoded.)
12437 [Bodo Moeller]
12438
12439 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12440 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12441 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12442 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12443 now it really counts the depth.
12444 [Bodo Moeller]
12445
12446 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12447 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12448 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12449 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12450 didn't match the private key).
12451
12452 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12453 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12454 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12455 [Bodo Moeller]
12456
12457 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12458 [Ulf Möller]
12459
12460 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12461 David Harris.
12462 [Bodo Moeller]
12463
12464 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12465 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12466 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12467 [Bodo Moeller]
12468
12469 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12470 [Bodo Moeller]
12471
12472 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12473 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12474 such as /usr/local/bin.
12475 [Bodo Moeller]
12476
12477 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12478 [Niels Poppe <[email protected]>]
12479
12480 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12481 [Ulf Möller]
12482
12483 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12484 extension adding in x509 utility.
12485 [Steve Henson]
12486
12487 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12488 [Ulf Möller]
12489
12490 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12491 prototypes.
12492 [Steve Henson]
12493
12494 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12495 [Ulf Möller]
12496
12497 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12498 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12499 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12500 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12501 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12502 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12503 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code embedded
12504 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12505 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12506 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12507 [Steve Henson]
12508
12509 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12510 [Bodo Moeller]
12511
12512 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12513 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12514 [Bodo Moeller]
12515
12516 *) Fix some race conditions.
12517 [Bodo Moeller]
12518
12519 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12520 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12521 [Steve Henson]
12522
12523 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12524 [Ulf Möller]
12525
12526 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12527 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12528 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12529 [Merlin Hughes <[email protected]>]
12530
12531 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12532 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12533
12534 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12535 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12536 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12537
12538 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12539 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12540
12541 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12542 [Ulf Möller]
12543
12544 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12545 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>, Ulf Möller]
12546
12547 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12548 [Ulf Möller]
12549
12550 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12551 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12552
12553 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12554 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12555 [Steve Henson]
12556
12557 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12558 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12559 [Ben Laurie]
12560
12561 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12562 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12563 [Steve Henson]
12564
12565 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12566 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12567 [Steve Henson]
12568
12569 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12570 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12571 [Steve Henson]
12572
12573 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12574 support typesafe stack.
12575 [Steve Henson]
12576
12577 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12578 [Nils Frostberg <[email protected]>]
12579
12580 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12581 old X509V3 handling code.
12582 [Steve Henson]
12583
12584 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12585 [Ulf Möller]
12586
12587 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12588 [Bodo Moeller]
12589
12590 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12591 [Ben Laurie]
12592
12593 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12594 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12595
12596 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12597 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12598 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12599 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12600 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12601 [Ben Laurie]
12602
12603 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12604 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12605 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12606 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12607 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12608
12609 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12610 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12611 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12613
12614 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12615 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12616 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12618
12619 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12620 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12621 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12622 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12623 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12624 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12625 [Bodo Moeller]
12626
12627 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12628 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12629 [Bodo Moeller]
12630
12631 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12632 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12633 [Ulf Möller]
12634
12635 *) Tweaks to Configure
12636 [Niels Poppe <[email protected]>]
12637
12638 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12639 yet...
12640 [Steve Henson]
12641
12642 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12643 [Ulf Möller]
12644
12645 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12646 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12647 [Ulf Möller]
12648
12649 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12650 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12651 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12652 [Bodo Moeller]
12653
12654 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12655 [Bodo Moeller]
12656
12657 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12658 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12659 [Steve Henson]
12660
12661 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12662 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12663 to library startup routines.
12664 [Steve Henson]
12665
12666 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12667 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12668 codes along the way.
12669 [Steve Henson]
12670
12671 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12672 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12673 objects to objects.h
12674 [Steve Henson]
12675
12676 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12677 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12678 [Steve Henson]
12679
12680 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12681 [Jeff Dubrule <[email protected]>]
12682
12683 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12684 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12685 [Hannes Reinecke <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
12686
12687 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12688 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12689 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12690
12691 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12692 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12693 [Soren S. Jorvang <[email protected]>]
12694
12695
12696 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12697
12698 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12699 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12700 [Ben Laurie]
12701
12702 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12703 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12704 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12705 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12706 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12707
12708 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12709 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12710 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12711 document.
12712 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12713
12714 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12715 Malloc, Free.
12716 [Lennart Bang <[email protected]>, with minor changes by Steve]
12717
12718 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12719 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12720
12721 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12722 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12723 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12724 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12725
12726 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12727 [Ben Laurie]
12728
12729 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12730 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12731 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12732 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12733 [Steve Henson]
12734
12735 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12736 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12737 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12738 [Steve Henson]
12739
12740 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12741 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12742 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12743 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12744 installed as `perl').
12745 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12746
12747 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12748 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12749
12750 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12751 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12752 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <[email protected]> for the
12753 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12754 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12755 [Steve Henson]
12756
12757 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12758 [Ben Laurie]
12759
12760 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12761 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12762 is horrible: I feel ill....
12763 [Steve Henson]
12764
12765 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12766 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12767 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12768 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12769 [Steve Henson]
12770
12771 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12773
12774 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12775 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12776 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12777 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12778
12779 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12780 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12781 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12782 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12783 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12784 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12785 openssl_bio.xs.
12786 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12787
12788 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12789 [Kenji Miyake <[email protected]>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12790
12791 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12792 [John Tobey <[email protected]>]
12793
12794 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12795 [Ben Laurie]
12796
12797 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12798 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12799 in CRLs.
12800 [Steve Henson]
12801
12802 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12803 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12804 Configure script every time: One now can use ``perl Configure
12805 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12806 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12807 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12808 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12809 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12810 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12811 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12812 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12813
12814 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12815 [Ben Laurie]
12816
12817 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12818 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12819 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12820 for linking it into DSOs.
12821 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12822
12823 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12824 Fixed.
12825 [Ben Laurie]
12826
12827 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12828 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under [email protected].
12829 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12830 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12831 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12832 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12833
12834 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12835 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12836 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12837 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12838 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12839 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12841
12842 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12843 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12844 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12845 encryption.
12846 [Ben Laurie]
12847
12848 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12849 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12850 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12851 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12852 [Steve Henson]
12853
12854 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12855 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12856 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12857 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12858 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12859 field as blank.
12860 [Steve Henson]
12861
12862 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12863 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12864 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12865 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12867
12868 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12869 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12870 [Lennart Bong <[email protected]>]
12871
12872 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12873 [Lennart Bong <[email protected]>]
12874
12875 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12876 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12877 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12878 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12879 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12880 [Steve Henson]
12881
12882 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12883 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12884 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12885 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12886 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12887 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12888 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12889 [Ben Laurie]
12890
12891 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12892 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12893 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12894 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12895 [Ben Laurie]
12896
12897 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12898 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12899
12900 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12901 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12902 [Steve Henson]
12903
12904 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12905 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12906 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12907 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12908 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12909 (e.g. s_server).
12910 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12911 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12912 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12913 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12914 no way to reconfigure them.
12915 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12916 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12917 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12918 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12919 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12921
12922 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12923 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12924 recognized by the users.
12925 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12926
12927 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12928 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12929 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12930 already masked variable.
12931 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12932
12933 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12934 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12935
12936 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12937 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12938 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12939 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12940
12941 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12942 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12943 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12944
12945 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12946 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12947 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12948 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12949 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12950 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12951 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12952 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12953 now, too.
12954 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12955
12956 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12957 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12958 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
12959
12960 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12961 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12962 config file.
12963 [Steve Henson]
12964
12965 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12966 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12967
12968 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12969 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12970 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12971 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12972 [Ben Laurie]
12973
12974 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12975 [Steve Henson]
12976
12977 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12978 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12979
12980 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12981 [Ben Laurie]
12982
12983 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12984 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12985 [Steve Henson]
12986
12987 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12988 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12989 [Steve Henson]
12990
12991 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12992 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12993 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12994 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12995 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12996 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12997 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12998 Ben Laurie]
12999
13000 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13001 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13002
13003 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13004 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13005 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13006 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13007 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13008
13009 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13010 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13011 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13012 [Steve Henson]
13013
13014 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13015 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13016 an example.
13017 [Steve Henson]
13018
13019 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13020 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13021 [Lars Weber <[email protected]>]
13022
13023 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13024 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13025 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13026 build instructions.
13027 [Steve Henson]
13028
13029 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13030 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13031 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13032 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13033 [Steve Henson]
13034
13035 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13036 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13037 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13038 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13039 [Ben Laurie]
13040
13041 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13042 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13043 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13044 so it wasn't spotted.
13045 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <[email protected]>]
13046
13047 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13048 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13049 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13050 vectors if you have them.
13051 [Ben Laurie]
13052
13053 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13054 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13055 [Ben Laurie]
13056
13057 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13058 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13059 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13060 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13061 If you do a:
13062 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13063 it will update them.
13064 [Steve Henson]
13065
13066 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13067 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13068 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13069 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13070 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13071 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13072 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13073 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13074
13075 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13076 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13077 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13078 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13079 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13080 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13081 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13082 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13083 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13085
13086 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13087 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13088 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13089 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13090 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13091 [Steve Henson]
13092
13093 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13094 INTEGER code.
13095 [Steve Henson]
13096
13097 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13098 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13099
13100 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13101 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
13102
13103 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13104 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13105 [Ben Laurie]
13106
13107 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13108 [Alan Batie <[email protected]>]
13109
13110 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13111 [Rainer W. Gerling <[email protected]>]
13112
13113 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13114 [Steve Henson]
13115
13116 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13117 few typos.
13118 [Steve Henson]
13119
13120 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13121 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13122 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13123 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13124
13125 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13126 [Steve Henson]
13127
13128 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13129 [Steve Henson]
13130
13131 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13132 [Steve Henson]
13133
13134 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13135 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13136 [Steve Henson]
13137
13138 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13139 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13140 CA extensions.
13141 [Steve Henson]
13142
13143 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13144 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13145 [Steve Henson]
13146
13147 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13148 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13149 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13150 [Steve Henson]
13151
13152 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13153 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13154 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13155 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13156 properly to be processed.
13157 [Steve Henson]
13158
13159 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13160 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13161 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13162 [Ben Laurie]
13163
13164 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13165 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <[email protected]>]
13166
13167 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13168 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13169 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13170 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13171 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13172 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13173 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13174 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13175 or delete all the .err files.
13176 [Steve Henson]
13177
13178 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13179 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13180 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13181 to regenerate it if needed.
13182 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13183 Hagino <[email protected]>]
13184
13185 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13186 [Ulf Möller <[email protected]>]
13187
13188 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13189 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13190 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13191 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13192 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13193 [Steve Henson]
13194
13195 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13196 [Ulf Möller <[email protected]>]
13197
13198 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13199 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13200
13201 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13202 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13203 error, but didn't set one).
13204 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13205
13206 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13207 [Ben Laurie]
13208
13209 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13210 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13211 [Steve Henson]
13212
13213 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13214 [Neil Costigan <[email protected]>]
13215
13216 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13217 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13218 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13219 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13220 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13221 OID is not part of the table.
13222 [Steve Henson]
13223
13224 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13225 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13226 [Ben Laurie]
13227
13228 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13229 [Ben Laurie]
13230
13231 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13232 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13233 was "1234").
13234 [Steve Henson]
13235
13236 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13237 [Frans Heymans <[email protected]>]
13238
13239 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13240 NULL pointers.
13241 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13242
13243 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13244 [Bodo Moeller <[email protected]>]
13245
13246 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13247 [Bodo Moeller <[email protected]>]
13248
13249 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13250 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13251
13252 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13253 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13254 [Ben Laurie]
13255
13256 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13257 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13258 [Steve Henson]
13259
13260 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13261 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13262
13263 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13264 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13265
13266 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13267 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13268
13269 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13270 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13271
13272 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13273 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13274 unused in the certificate verification process.
13275 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13276
13277 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13278 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13279 [Steve Henson]
13280
13281 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13282 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13283 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13284
13285 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13286 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13287 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13288 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13289 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13290
13291 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13292 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13293 [Steve Henson]
13294
13295 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13296 [Steve Henson]
13297
13298 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13299 [Paul Sutton]
13300
13301 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13302 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13303
13304 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13305 [Ben Laurie]
13306
13307 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13308 [Ben Laurie]
13309
13310 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13311 [Ben Laurie]
13312
13313 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13314 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13315 other error libraries.
13316 [Steve Henson]
13317
13318 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13319 [Steve Henson]
13320
13321 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13322 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13323 be read in.
13324 [Steve Henson]
13325
13326 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13327 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13328 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13329 the new set of documentation files.
13330 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13331
13332 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13333 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13334 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13335 number of arguments.
13336 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <[email protected]>]
