10 Changes between 1.1.1i and 1.1.1j [16 Feb 2021]
11
12 *) Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts to
13 create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial number data
14 contained within an X509 certificate. However it was failing to correctly
15 handle any errors that may occur while parsing the issuer field (which might
16 occur if the issuer field is maliciously constructed). This may subsequently
17 result in a NULL pointer deref and a crash leading to a potential denial of
18 service attack.
19 (CVE-2021-23841)
20 [Matt Caswell]
21
22 *) Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the RSA_SSLV23_PADDING
23 padding mode to correctly check for rollback attacks. This is considered a
24 bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1 because it does not support SSLv2. In 1.0.2 this is
25 CVE-2021-23839.
26 [Matt Caswell]
27
28 *) Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate
29 functions. Previously they could overflow the output length argument in some
30 cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissable length for
31 an integer on the platform. In such cases the return value from the function
32 call would be 1 (indicating success), but the output length value would be
33 negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly or crash.
34 (CVE-2021-23840)
35 [Matt Caswell]
36
37 *) Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time. The previous
38 implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This
39 could be exploited in a side channel attack to recover the password. Since
40 the attack is local host only this is outside of the current OpenSSL
41 threat model and therefore no CVE is assigned.
42
43 Thanks to Mohammed Sabt and Daniel De Almeida Braga for reporting this
44 issue.
45 [Matt Caswell]
46
47 Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [8 Dec 2020]
48
49 *) Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function
50 This function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
51 If an attacker can control both items being compared then this could lead
52 to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself uses the
53 GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
54 1) Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL and a
55 CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate
56 2) When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
57 timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
58 TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token)
59 (CVE-2020-1971)
60 [Matt Caswell]
61
62 *) Add support for Apple Silicon M1 Macs with the darwin64-arm64-cc target.
63 [Stuart Carnie]
64
65 *) The security callback, which can be customised by application code, supports
66 the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. This is defined to take an EVP_PKEY
67 in the "other" parameter. In most places this is what is passed. All these
68 places occur server side. However there was one client side call of this
69 security operation and it passed a DH object instead. This is incorrect
70 according to the definition of SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH, and is inconsistent with all
71 of the other locations. Therefore this client side call has been changed to
72 pass an EVP_PKEY instead.
73 [Matt Caswell]
74
75 *) In 1.1.1h, an expired trusted (root) certificate was not anymore rejected
76 when validating a certificate path. This check is restored in 1.1.1i.
77 [David von Oheimb]
78
79 Changes between 1.1.1g and 1.1.1h [22 Sep 2020]
80
81 *) Certificates with explicit curve parameters are now disallowed in
82 verification chains if the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag is used.
83 [Tomas Mraz]
84
85 *) The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently
86 ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring DTLS-based contexts, and
87 conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring
88 TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both
89 types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and
90 "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS
91 and DTLS.
92
93 SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
94 TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
95 attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
96 error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
97 limits in configuration files in command-line options.
98 [Viktor Dukhovni]
99
100 *) Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
101 on renegotiation.
102 [Tomas Mraz]
103
104 *) Accidentally, an expired trusted (root) certificate is not anymore rejected
105 when validating a certificate path.
106 [David von Oheimb]
107
108 *) The Oracle Developer Studio compiler will start reporting deprecated APIs
109
110 Changes between 1.1.1f and 1.1.1g [21 Apr 2020]
111
112 *) Fixed segmentation fault in SSL_check_chain()
113 Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function
114 during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer
115 dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the
116 "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid
117 or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could
118 be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack.
119 (CVE-2020-1967)
120 [Benjamin Kaduk]
121
122 *) Added AES consttime code for no-asm configurations
123 an optional constant time support for AES was added
124 when building openssl for no-asm.
125 Enable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_AES_CONST_TIME
126 Disable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_NO_AES_CONST_TIME
127 At this time this feature is by default disabled.
128 It will be enabled by default in 3.0.
129 [Bernd Edlinger]
130
131 Changes between 1.1.1e and 1.1.1f [31 Mar 2020]
132
133 *) Revert the change of EOF detection while reading in libssl to avoid
134 regressions in applications depending on the current way of reporting
135 the EOF. As the existing method is not fully accurate the change to
136 reporting the EOF via SSL_ERROR_SSL is kept on the current development
137 branch and will be present in the 3.0 release.
138 [Tomas Mraz]
139
140 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 3..17863 in p-1
141 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
142 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
143 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
144 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
145 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
146 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
147 [Bernd Edlinger]
148
149 Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [17 Mar 2020]
150 *) Properly detect EOF while reading in libssl. Previously if we hit an EOF
151 while reading in libssl then we would report an error back to the
152 application (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL) but errno would be 0. We now add
153 an error to the stack (which means we instead return SSL_ERROR_SSL) and
154 therefore give a hint as to what went wrong.
155 [Matt Caswell]
156
157 *) Check that ed25519 and ed448 are allowed by the security level. Previously
158 signature algorithms not using an MD were not being checked that they were
159 allowed by the security level.
160 [Kurt Roeckx]
161
162 *) Fixed SSL_get_servername() behaviour. The behaviour of SSL_get_servername()
163 was not quite right. The behaviour was not consistent between resumption
164 and normal handshakes, and also not quite consistent with historical
165 behaviour. The behaviour in various scenarios has been clarified and
166 it has been updated to make it match historical behaviour as closely as
167 possible.
168 [Matt Caswell]
169
170 *) [VMS only] The header files that the VMS compilers include automatically,
171 __DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H and __DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H, use pragmas that
172 the C++ compiler doesn't understand. This is a shortcoming in the
173 compiler, but can be worked around with __cplusplus guards.
174
175 C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled using the
176 qualifier '/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED)' to be able to use all the OpenSSL
177 functions. Otherwise, only functions with symbols of less than 31
178 characters can be used, as the linker will not be able to successfully
179 resolve symbols with longer names.
180 [Richard Levitte]
181
182 *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
183 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
184 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
185 was removed.
186
187 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
188 like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
189 [Richard Levitte]
190
191 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
192 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
193 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
194 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
195 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
196 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
197 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
198 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
199 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
200 (CVE-2019-1551)
201 [Andy Polyakov]
202
203 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
204 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
205 [Richard Levitte]
206
207 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
208 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
209 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
210 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
211
212 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
213 the first value.
214 [Jon Spillett]
215
216 Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
217
218 *) Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
219 number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
220 event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
221 processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not
222 being used in the default case.
223
224 A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
225 precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
226 and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
227
228 If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
229 OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
230 (CVE-2019-1549)
231 [Matthias St. Pierre]
232
233 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
234 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
235 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
236 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
237 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
238 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
239 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
240 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
241 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
242 [Nicola Tuveri]
243
244 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
245 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
246 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
247 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
248 (CVE-2019-1547)
249 [Billy Bob Brumley]
250
251 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
252 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
253 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
254 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
255 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
256 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
257 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
258 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
259 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
260 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
261 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
262 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
263 (CVE-2019-1563)
264 [Bernd Edlinger]
265
266 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
267 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
268 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
269 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
270 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
271 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
272 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
273 [Paul Dale]
274
275 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
276 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
277 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
278 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
279 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
280 [Matt Caswell]
281
282 *) Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
283
284 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
285 paths should be used for installation.
286 (CVE-2019-1552)
287 [Richard Levitte]
288
289 *) Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q subgroups.
290 With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key is not secret
291 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
292 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
293 [Bernd Edlinger]
294
295 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
296 [Paul Dale]
297
298 *) Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
299
300 The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
301 /dev/random device to become readable before reading from the
302 /dev/urandom device.
303
304 It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
305 performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
306 was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
307 resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
308 during early boot time.
309 [Matthias St. Pierre]
310
311 Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
312
313 *) Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
314 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
315 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
316
317 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
318 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
319 [Richard Levitte]
320
321 *) Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
322 [Patrick Steuer]
323
324 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
325 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
326 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
327 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
328 [Kurt Roeckx]
329
330 *) Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
331 EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
332 util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
333 [Paul Yang, Joshua Lock]
334
335 *) Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
336 [Matt Caswell]
337
338 *) Have apps like 's_client' and 's_server' output the signature scheme
339 along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
340 [Lorinczy Zsigmond]
341
342 *) Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
343 [Richard Levitte]
344
345 *) Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
346 [Bernd Edlinger]
347
348 *) Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
349
350 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
351 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
352 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
353 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
354 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
355 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
356 additional leading bytes are ignored.
357
358 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
359 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
360 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
361 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
362 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
363 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
364 messages with a reused nonce.
365
366 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
367 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
368 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
369 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
370 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
371 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
372 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
373
374 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
375 Greef of Ronomon.
376 (CVE-2019-1543)
377 [Matt Caswell]
378
379 *) Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
380
381 On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not available,
382 OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for seeding its CSPRNG.
383 Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom device will not block during
384 early boot when the kernel CSPRNG has not been seeded yet.
385
386 To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/random to
387 become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
388
389 *) Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
390 [Paul Yang]
391
392 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
393
394 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
395 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
396 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
397 to affine coordinates.
398 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
399
400 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
401 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
402 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
403 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
404 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
405 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
406 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
407 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
408 applications.
409 [Matt Caswell]
410
411 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
412 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
413 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
414 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
415 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
416 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
417
418 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
419 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
420 [Bernd Edlinger]
421
422 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
423 [Richard Levitte]
424
425 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
426 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
427 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
428 [Richard Levitte]
429
430 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
431
432 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
433
434 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
435 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
436 algorithm to recover the private key.
437
438 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
439 (CVE-2018-0734)
440 [Paul Dale]
441
442 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
443
444 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
445 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
446 algorithm to recover the private key.
447
448 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
449 (CVE-2018-0735)
450 [Paul Dale]
451
452 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
453 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
454 are retained for backwards compatibility.
455 [Antoine Salon]
456
457 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
458 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
459 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
460
461 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
462 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
463 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
464 provided by the application.
465
466 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
467
468 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
469 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
470 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
471 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
472 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
473 of the ClientHello
474 [Benjamin Kaduk]
475
476 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
477 [Jack Lloyd]
478
479 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
480 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
481 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
482 [Patrick Steuer]
483
484 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
485 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
486 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
487 [Richard Levitte]
488
489 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
490 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
491 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
492 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
493 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
494 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
495 to work in projective coordinates.
496 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
497
498 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
499 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
500 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
501 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
502 to 2^-128.
503 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
504
505 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
506 [Kurt Roeckx]
507
508 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
509 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
510 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
511 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
512 [Richard Levitte]
513
514 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
515 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
516 [Andy Polyakov]
517
518 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
519 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
520 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
521 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
522 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
523
524 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
525 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
526 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
527 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
528 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
529 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
530
531 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
532 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
533 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
534 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
535 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
536 [Paul Dale]
537
538 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
539 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
540 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
541 authors.
542 [Matt Caswell]
543
544 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
545 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
546 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
547 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
548 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
549 multi-version installation is managed.
550 [Andy Polyakov]
551
552 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
553 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
554 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
555 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
556 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
557 [Billy Bob Brumley]
558
559 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
560 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
561 chosen point SCA attacks.
562 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
563
564 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
565 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
566 [Matt Caswell]
567
568 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
569 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
570 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
571 [Matt Caswell]
572
573 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
574 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
575 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
576 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
577 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
578 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
579 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
580 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
581 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
582 [Kurt Roeckx]
583
584 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
585 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
586 [Richard Levitte]
587
588 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
589 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
590 [Billy Bob Brumley]
591
592 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
593 binary and prime elliptic curves.
594 [Billy Bob Brumley]
595
596 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
597 constant time fixed point multiplication.
598 [Billy Bob Brumley]
599
600 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
601 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
602 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
603 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
604 ECDH derive operations).
605 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
606 Sohaib ul Hassan]
607
608 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
609 [Rich Salz]
610
611 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
612 randomness from the system.
613 [Matthias St. Pierre]
614
615 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
616 [Richard Levitte]
617
618 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
619 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
620 [Matt Caswell]
621
622 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
623 [Matt Caswell]
624
625 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
626 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
627
628 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
629 [Richard Levitte]
630
631 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
632 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
633 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
634 [Matt Caswell]
635
636 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
637 stack.
638 [Rich Salz]
639
640 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
641 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
642 [Bernd Edlinger]
643
644 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
645 [Matt Caswell]
646
647 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
648 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
649 [Matthias St. Pierre]
650
651 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
652 for the license change).
653 [Rich Salz]
654
655 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
656 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
657 [Matt Caswell]
658
659 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
660 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
661 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
662 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
663 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
664 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
665 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
666 [Matt Caswell]
667
668 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
669 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
670 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
671 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
672 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
673 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
674 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
675 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
676 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
677 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
678 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
679 written to stderr.
680 [Viktor Dukhovni]
681
682 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
683 Mike Hamburg.
684 [Matt Caswell]
685
686 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
687 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
688 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
689 get the search data out of them.
690 [Richard Levitte]
691
692 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
693 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
694 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
695 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
696 [Matt Caswell]
697
698 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
699
700 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
701 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
702 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
703 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
704 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
705 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
706
707 Some of its new features are:
708 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
709 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
710 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
711 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
712 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
713 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
714 operation
715 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
716
717 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
718 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
719 to display all sorts of configuration data.
720 [Richard Levitte]
721
722 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
723 [Richard Levitte]
724
725 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
726 [Paul Dale]
727
728 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
729 now been removed.
730 [Rich Salz]
731
732 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
733 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
734 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
735 debug (or make silent).
736 [Richard Levitte]
737
738 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
739 arguments to config / Configure.
740 [Richard Levitte]
741
742 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
743 [Paul Yang]
744
745 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
746 [ Jack Lloyd <[email protected]>,
747 Ronald Tse <[email protected]>,
748 Erick Borsboom <[email protected]> ]
749
750 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
751 as documented in RFC6066.
752 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
753 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
754
755 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
756 [ Jack Lloyd <[email protected]>,
757 Ronald Tse <[email protected]>,
758 Erick Borsboom <[email protected]> ]
759
760 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
761 original author does not agree with the license change.
762 [Rich Salz]
763
764 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
765 [Jon Spillett]
766
767 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
768 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
769 [Rich Salz]
770
771 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
772 without clearing the errors.
773 [Richard Levitte]
774
775 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
776 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
777 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
778 [Rich Salz]
779
780 *) Add SHA3.
781 [Andy Polyakov]
782
783 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
784 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
785 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
786 as a fallback).
787
788 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
789 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
790 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
791 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
792 [Richard Levitte]
793
794 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
795 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
796 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
797 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
798 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
799 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
800 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
801 [Richard Levitte]
802
803 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
804 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
805 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
806 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
807 [Richard Levitte]
808
809 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
810 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
811 error code calls like this:
812
813 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
814
815 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
816 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
817 affect new modules.
818 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
819
820 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
821 [Rich Salz]
822
823 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
824 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
825 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
826 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
827 [Richard Levitte]
828
829 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
830 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
831 than just the call where this user data is passed.
832 [Richard Levitte]
833
834 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
835 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
836 [Tomas Mraz <[email protected]>]
837
838 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
839 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
840 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
841 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
842 prohibits this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
843 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
844 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause interoperability
845 issues.
846 [Matt Caswell]
847
848 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
849 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
850 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
851 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
852 [Richard Levitte]
853
854 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
855 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
856 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
857
858 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
859 does for RSA, etc.
860 [Richard Levitte]
861
862 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
863 platform rather than 'mingw'.
864 [Richard Levitte]
865
866 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
867 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
868 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
869 certificates and CRLs.
870 [Paul Dale]
871
872 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
873 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
874 [Andy Polyakov]
875
876 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
877 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
878 [Richard Levitte]
879
880 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
881 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
882 which is the minimum version we support.
883 [Richard Levitte]
884
885 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
886 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
887 are no longer allowed.
888 [Emilia Käsper]
889
890 *) Add support for ARIA
891 [Paul Dale]
892
893 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
894 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
895 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
896 using "-servername".
897 [Matt Caswell]
898
899 *) Add support for SipHash
900 [Todd Short]
901
902 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
903 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
904 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
905 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
906 [Matt Caswell]
907
908 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
909 using the algorithm defined in
910 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
911 [Richard Levitte]
912
913 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
914 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
915
916 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
917 [Emilia Käsper]
918
919 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
920 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
921 [Rich Salz]
922
923
924 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
925
926 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
927
928 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
929 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
930 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
931 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
932 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
933
934 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
935 (CVE-2018-0732)
936 [Guido Vranken]
937
938 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
939
940 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
941 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
942 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
943 recover the private key.
944
945 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
946 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
947 (CVE-2018-0737)
948 [Billy Brumley]
949
950 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
951 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
952 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
953 [Richard Levitte]
954
955 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
956 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
957 [Andy Polyakov]
958
959 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
960 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
961 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
962 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
963 to 2^-128.
964 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
965
966 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
967 [Kurt Roeckx]
968
969 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
970 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
971 [Matt Caswell]
972
973 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
974 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
975 [Richard Levitte]
976
977 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
978 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
979 are no longer allowed.
980 [Emilia Käsper]
981
982 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
983
984 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
985 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
986 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
987 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
988 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
989 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
990 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
991 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
992 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
993 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
994 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
995 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
996 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
997 [Matt Caswell]

999 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1000
1001 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1002
1003 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1004 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1005 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1006 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1007 so this is considered safe.
1008
1009 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1010 project.

1014 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1015
1016 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1017 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1018 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1019 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1020 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1021 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1022
1023 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1024 (IBM).
1025 (CVE-2018-0733)
1026 [Andy Polyakov]
1027
1028 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1029 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1030 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1031 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1032 [Richard Levitte]
1033
1034 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1035
1036 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1037 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1038 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1039 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1040 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1041
1042 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1043 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1044 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1045 [Matt Caswell]
1046
1047 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1048 exist.
1049 [Rich Salz]
1050
1051 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1052
1053 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1054 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1055 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1056 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1057 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1058 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1059 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1060 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1061 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1062 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1063
1064 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1065 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1066
1067 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1068 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
1069 (CVE-2017-3738)
1070 [Andy Polyakov]
1071
1072 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1073
1074 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1075
1076 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1077 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1078 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1079 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1080 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1081 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1082 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1083 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1084 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1085 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1086 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1087
1088 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1089 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1090
1091 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1092 (CVE-2017-3736)
1093 [Andy Polyakov]
1094
1095 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1096
1097 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1098 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1099 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1100
1101 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1102 (CVE-2017-3735)
1103 [Rich Salz]
1104
1105 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1106
1107 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1108 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1109 [Richard Levitte]
1110
1111 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1112 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1113 which is the minimum version we support.
1114 [Richard Levitte]
1115
1116 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1117
1118 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1119
1120 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1121 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1122 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1123 and servers are affected.
1124
1125 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1126 (CVE-2017-3733)
1127 [Matt Caswell]
1128
1129 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1130
1131 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1132
1133 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1134 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1135 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1136
1137 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1138 (CVE-2017-3731)
1139 [Andy Polyakov]
1140
1141 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1142
1143 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1144 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1145 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1146 of Service attack.
1147
1148 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1149 (CVE-2017-3730)
1150 [Matt Caswell]
1151
1152 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1153
1154 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1155 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1156 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1157 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1158 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1159 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1160 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1161 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1162 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1163 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1164 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1165 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1166 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1167
1168 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1169 (CVE-2017-3732)
1170 [Andy Polyakov]
1171
1172 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1173
1174 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1175
1176 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1177 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1178 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1179
1180 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1181 (CVE-2016-7054)
1182 [Richard Levitte]
1183
1184 *) CMS Null dereference
1185
1186 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1187 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1188 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1189 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1190 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1191 affected.
1192
1193 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1194 (CVE-2016-7053)
1195 [Stephen Henson]
1196
1197 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1198
1199 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1200 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1201 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1202 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1203 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1204 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1205 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1206 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1207 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1208 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1209 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1210 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1211 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1212 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1213
1214 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1215 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1216 providing reproducible case.
1217 (CVE-2016-7055)
1218 [Andy Polyakov]
1219
1220 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1221 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1222 [Richard Levitte]
1223
1224 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1225
1226 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1227
1228 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1229 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1230 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1231 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1232 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1233 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1234
1235 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1236
1237 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1238 (CVE-2016-6309)
1239 [Matt Caswell]
1240
1241 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1242
1243 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1244
1245 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1246 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1247 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1248 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1249 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1250 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1251 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
1252
1253 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1254 (CVE-2016-6304)
1255 [Matt Caswell]
1256
1257 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1258
1259 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1260 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1261 Denial Of Service attack.
1262
1263 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1264 (CVE-2016-6305)
1265 [Matt Caswell]
1266
1267 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1268 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1269
1270 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1271 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1272 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1273 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1274 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1275 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1276 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1277 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1278 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1279 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1280 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1281 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1282 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1283 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1284 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1285
1286 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1287 that the connection fails
1288 or
1289 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1290 very little free memory
1291 or
1292 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1293 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1294 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1295 memory to service the multiple requests.
1296
1297 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1298 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1299 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1300 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1301 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1303 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1304 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1305 [Matt Caswell]
1306
1307 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1308 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1309 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1310 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1311 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1312 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1313 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1314 [Andy Polyakov]
1315
1316 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1317
1318 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1319 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1320 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1321 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1322 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1323 non-ASCII password.
1324 [Andy Polyakov]
1325
1326 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1327 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1328 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1329 [Rich Salz]
1330
1331 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1332 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1333 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1334 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1335 [Matt Caswell]
1336
1337 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1338 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1339 success.
1340 [Matt Caswell]
1341
1342 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1343 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1344 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1345 no-ops and deprecated.
1346 [Matt Caswell]
1347
1348 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1349 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1350 were also closed.
1351 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1352
1353 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1354 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1355 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1356 [Rich Salz]
1357
1358 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1359 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1360 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1361 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1362 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1363 and the validity of object reference counter.
1364 [[email protected]]
1365
1366 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1367 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1368 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1369 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1370 [Richard Levitte]
1371
1372 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1373 [Richard Levitte]
1374
1375 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1376 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1377 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1378 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1379
1380 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1381
1382 [Richard Levitte]
1383
1384 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1385 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1386 [Steve Henson]
1387
1388 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1389 [Andy Polyakov]
1390
1391 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1392 [Rich Salz]
1393
1394 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1395 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1396 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1397 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1398 name and is used as is.
1399 [Richard Levitte]
1400
1401 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1402 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1403 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1404 [Rich Salz]
1405
1406 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1407 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1408 [Matt Caswell]
1409
1410 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1411 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1412 algorithms.
1413 [Matt Caswell]
1414
1415 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1416 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1417 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1418 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1419 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1420 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1421 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1422 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1423 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1424 [Matt Caswell]
1425
1426 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1427 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1428 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1429 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1430
1431 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1432 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1433 these have been added.
1434 [Matt Caswell]
1435
1436 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1437 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1438 functions for managing these have been added.
1439 [Richard Levitte]
1440
1441 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1442 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1443 these have been added.
1444 [Matt Caswell]
1445
1446 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1447 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1448 have been added.
1449 [Matt Caswell]
1450
1451 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1452 [Matt Caswell]
1453
1454 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1455 [Richard Levitte]
1456
1457 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1458 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1459 [Rich Salz]
1460
1461 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1462 [Richard Levitte]
1463
1464 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1465 [Rich Salz]
1466
1467 *) Add support for HKDF.
1468 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1469
1470 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1471 [Bill Cox]
1472
1473 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1474 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1475 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1476 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1477 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1478 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1479 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1480 [Matt Caswell]
1481
1482 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1483 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1484 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1485 [Catriona Lucey]
1486
1487 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1488 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1489 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1490 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1491 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1492 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1493 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1494
1495 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1496 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1497 [Todd Short]
1498
1499 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1500 [Todd Short]
1501
1502 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1503 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1504 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1505 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1506 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1507 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1508 default cipherlist.
1509 [Emilia Käsper]
1510
1511 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1512 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1513 [Rich Salz]
1514
1515 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1516 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1517 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1518 [Matt Caswell]
1519
1520 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1521 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1522 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1523 implemented by other servers.
1524 [Emilia Käsper]
1525
1526 *) Add X25519 support.
1527 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1528 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1529 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1530 key generation and key derivation.
1531
1532 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1533 X25519(29).
1534 [Steve Henson]
1535
1536 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1537 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1538 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1539 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1540 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1541
1542 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1543 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1544 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1545 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1546 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1547 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1548 that of a valid user.
1549 [Emilia Käsper]
1550
1551 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1552 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1553 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1554 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1555
1556 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1557 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1558
1559 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1560 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1561 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1562 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1563
1564 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1565 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1566 irrelevant.
1567 [Richard Levitte]
1568
1569 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1570 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1571 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1572 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1573 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1574 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1575
1576 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1577 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1578 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1579 [Richard Levitte]
1580
1581 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1582 [Rich Salz]
1583
1584 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1585 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1586 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1587 removed.
1588 [Richard Levitte]
1589
1590 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1591 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1592 old #define's might need to be updated.
1593 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1594
1595 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1596 [Rich Salz]
1597
1598 *) New "unified" build system
1599
1600 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1601 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1602
1603 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1604 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1605 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1606
1607 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1608 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1609 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1610 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1611 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1612
1613 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1614 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1615 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1616 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1617 libraries" in INSTALL.
1618
1619 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1620 [Richard Levitte]
1621
1622 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1623 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1624 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1625 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1626 [Matt Caswell]
1627
1628 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1629 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1630
1631 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1632 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1633 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1634 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1635 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1636 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1637 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1638 have been adapted accordingly.
1639 [Richard Levitte]
1640
1641 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1642 the leading 0-byte.
1643 [Emilia Käsper]
1644
1645 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1646 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1647 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1648 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1649 [Emilia Käsper]
1650
1651 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1652 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1653 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1654 'unsigned char*'.
1655 [Emilia Käsper]
1656
1657 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1658 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1659 [Emilia Käsper]
1660
1661 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1662 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1663 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1664 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1665 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1666 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1667 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1668
1669 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1670 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1671
1672 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1673 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1674 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1675 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1676 Text::Template.
1677
1678 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1679 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1680 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1681 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1682 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1683 %target).
1684 [Richard Levitte]
1685
1686 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1687 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1688 straightforward and less interdependent.
1689
1690 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1691 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1692 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1693
1694 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1695 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1696 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1697 installed.
1698 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1699 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1700 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1701 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1702
1703 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1704 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1705 [Richard Levitte]
1706
1707 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1708 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1709 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1710 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1711 is present).
1712 [Matt Caswell]
1713
1714 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1715 configuring.
1716 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1717
1718 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1719 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1720 before trying to build now.*
1721 [Rich Salz]
1722
1723 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1724 has changed.
1725 [Rich Salz]
1726
1727 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1728
1729 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1730 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1731 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1732 used to authenticate the peer.
1733
1734 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1735 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1736 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1737 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1738 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1739 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1740
1741 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1742 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1743 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1744 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1745 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1746 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1747
1748 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1749 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1750 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1751 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1752 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1753 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1754 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1755 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1756 version.
1757
1758 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1759 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1760 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1761 compile with later releases.
1762
1763 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1764 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1765 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1766 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1767 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1768 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1769
1770 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1771 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1772 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1773 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1774 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1775 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1776 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1777 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1778 [Kurt Roeckx]
1779
1780 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1781 [Andy Polyakov]
1782
1783 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1784 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1785 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1786 ECDSA_SIG format.
1787
1788 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1789 include the ec.h header file instead.
1790 [Steve Henson]
1791
1792 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1793 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1794 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1795 [Kurt Roeckx]
1796
1797 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1798 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1799 were added:
1800
1801 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1802 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1803
1804 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1805 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1806 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1807
1808 Additional changes:
1809 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1810 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1811 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1812 an already created structure.
1813 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1814 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1815 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1816 for deprecated builds.
1817 [Richard Levitte]
1818
1819 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1820 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1821 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1822 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1823 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1824 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1825 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1826 [Matt Caswell]
1827
1828 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1829 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1830 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1831 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1832 [Kurt Roeckx]
1833
1834 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1835 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1836 [Kurt Roeckx]
1837
1838 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1839 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1840 [Kurt Roeckx]
1841
1842 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1843 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1844 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1845 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1846 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1847 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1848 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1849 also been removed.
1850 [Matt Caswell]
1851
1852 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1853 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1854 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1855 [Rich Salz]
1856
1857 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1858 [Rich Salz]
1859
1860 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1861 sureware and ubsec.
1862 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1863
1864 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1865
1866 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1867 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1868
1869 FOO *x;
1870
1871 it must be:
1872
1873 FOO x;
1874
1875 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1876 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1877
1878 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1879 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1880 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1881 SEQUENCE OF.
1882 [Steve Henson]
1883
1884 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1885 [Emilia Käsper]
1886
1887 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1888 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1889 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1890 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1891 [Matt Caswell]
1892
1893 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1894 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1895 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1896 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1897 [Emilia Käsper]
1898
1899 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1900 [ David Woodhouse <[email protected]> and also
1901 Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> ]
1902
1903 *) New testing framework
1904 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1905 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1906 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1907 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1908 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1909 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1910
1911 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1912
1913 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1914 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1915
1916 [Richard Levitte]
1917
1918 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1919 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1920 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1921 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1922 [Rich Salz]
1923
1924 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1925 return an error
1926 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <[email protected]>]
1927
1928 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1929 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1930
1931 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1932 original RSA_PSK patch.
1933 [Steve Henson]
1934
1935 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1936 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1937 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1938 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1939 [Matt Caswell]
1940
1941 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1942 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1943 [Richard Levitte]
1944
1945 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1946 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1947 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1948 [Emilia Käsper]
1949
1950 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1951 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1952 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1953 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1954 transferred.
1955 [Matt Caswell]
1956
1957 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1958 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1959 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1960 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1961 [Matt Caswell]
1962
1963 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1964 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1965 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1966 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1967 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1968 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1969 [Matt Caswell]
1970
1971 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1972 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1973 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1974 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1975 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1976 header file has been removed.
1977 [Matt Caswell]
1978
1979 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1980 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1981 [Matt Caswell]
1982
1983 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1984 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1985 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1986
1987 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1988 Added a test.
1989 [Rich Salz]
1990
1991 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1992 [Rich Salz]
1993
1994 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1995 sha256
1996 [Rich Salz]
1997
1998 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1999 [Matt Caswell]
2000
2001 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2002 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2003 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2004 [Steve Henson]
2005
2006 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2007 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2008 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2009 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2010 [Matt Caswell]
2011
2012 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2013 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2014 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2015 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2016 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2017 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2018 [Matt Caswell]
2019
2020 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2021 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2022 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2023 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2024 [Matt Caswell]
2025
2026 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2027 compatible client hello.
2028 [Kurt Roeckx]
2029
2030 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2031 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2032 [Annie Yousar <[email protected]>]
2033
2034 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2035 [Rich Salz]
2036
2037 *) Removed old DES API.
2038 [Rich Salz]
2039
2040 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2041 Sony NEWS4
2042 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2043 NeXT
2044 SUNOS
2045 MPE/iX
2046 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2047 DGUX
2048 NCR
2049 Tandem
2050 Cray
2051 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2052 [Rich Salz]
2053
2054 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2055 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2056 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2057 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2058 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2059 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2060 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2061 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2062 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2063 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2064 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2065 [Rich Salz]
2066
2067 *) Cleaned up dead code
2068 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2069 [Rich Salz]
2070
2071 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2072 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2073 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2074 [Rich Salz]
2075
2076 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2077 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2078 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2079 [Rich Salz]
2080
2081 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2082 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2083 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <[email protected]>]
2084
2085 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2086 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2087 [Martin Kaiser <[email protected]>]
2088
2089 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2090 compilation flags.
2091 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2092
2093 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2094 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2095 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2096
2097 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2098 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2099
2100 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2101 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2102 server.
2103
2104 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2105 Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Bodo Moeller <[email protected]> for
2106 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2107 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2108
2109 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2110 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2111 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2112 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2113
2114 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2115 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2116 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2117
2118 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2119 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2120 [Steve Henson]
2121
2122 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2123
2124 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2125 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2126
2127 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2128 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2129
2130 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2131 effect.
2132
2133 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2134
2135 [Steve Henson]
2136
2137 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2138 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2139 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2140 algorithms and include tests cases.
2141 [Steve Henson]
2142
2143 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2144 enveloped data.
2145 [Steve Henson]
2146
2147 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2148 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2149 [Steve Henson]
2150
2151 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2152 [Chris Palmer <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
2153
2154 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2155 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2156 [Steve Henson]
2157
2158 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2159 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2160 failures.
2161 [Steve Henson]
2162
2163 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2164 sign or verify all in one operation.
2165 [Steve Henson]
2166
2167 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2168 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2169 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2170 [Steve Henson]
2171
2172 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2173 [Steve Henson]
2174
2175 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2176 [Steve Henson]
2177
2178 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2179 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2180 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2181 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2182 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2183 [Steve Henson]
2184
2185 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2186 based on NID.
2187 [Steve Henson]
2188
2189 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2190 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2191 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2192 [Steve Henson]
2193
2194 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2195 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2196
2197 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2198 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2199 [Steve Henson]
2200
2201 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2202 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2203 [Steve Henson]
2204
2205 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2206 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2207 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2208 [Steve Henson]
2209
2210 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2211 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2212 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2213 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2214 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2215 requested amount of entropy.
2216 [Steve Henson]
2217
2218 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2219 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2220 [Steve Henson]
2221
2222 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2223 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2224 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2225 support.
2226 [Steve Henson]
2227
2228 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2229 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2230 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2231 [Steve Henson]
2232
2233 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2234 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2235 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2236 will never use XTS mode.
2237 [Steve Henson]
2238
2239 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2240 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2241 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2242 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2243 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2244 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2245 [Steve Henson]
2246
2247 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2248 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2249 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2250 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2251 [Steve Henson]
2252
2253 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2254 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2255 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2259 [Steve Henson]
2260
2261 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2262 [Steve Henson]
2263
2264 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2265 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2266 [Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2269 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2270 [Steve Henson]
2271
2272 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2273 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2274 [Steve Henson]
2275
2276 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2277 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2278 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2279 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2280 and rename any affected symbols.
2281 [Steve Henson]
2282
2283 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2284 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2288 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2289 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2290 [Steve Henson]
2291
2292 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2293 [Steve Henson]
2294
2295 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2296 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2297 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2298 [Steve Henson]
2299
2300 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2301 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2302 [Steve Henson]
2303
2304 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2305 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2306 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2307 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2308 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2309 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2310 set before the key.
2311 [Steve Henson]
2312
2313 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2314 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2315 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2316 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2317 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2318 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2319 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2320 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2321 [Steve Henson]
2322
2323 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2324 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2325 [Steve Henson]
2326
2327 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2328
2329 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2330 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2331
2332 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2333 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2334 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2335 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2336 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2337 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2338
2339 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2340 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2341 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2342 security.
2343 [Emilia Käsper <[email protected]> (Google)]
2344
2345 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2346 parameters by name.
2347 [Steve Henson]
2348
2349 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2350 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2351 [Steve Henson]
2352
2353 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2354 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2355 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2356 [Steve Henson]
2357
2358 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2359 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2360 multi-process servers.
2361 [Steve Henson]
2362
2363 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2364 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2365 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2366 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2367 RAND_METHOD structure.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2371 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2372 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2373 whose return value is often ignored.
2374 [Steve Henson]
2375
2376 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2377 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2378 validated when establishing a connection.
2379 [Rob Percival <[email protected]>]
2380
2381 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2382
2383 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2384
2385 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2386 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2387 AES-NI.
2388
2389 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2390 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2391 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2392 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2393 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2394 bytes.
2395
2396 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2397 (CVE-2016-2107)
2398 [Kurt Roeckx]
2399
2400 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2401
2402 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2403 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2404 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2405 corruption.
2406
2407 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2408 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2409 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2410 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2411 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2412 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2413
2414 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2415 (CVE-2016-2105)
2416 [Matt Caswell]
2417
2418 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2419
2420 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2421 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2422 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2423 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2424 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2425 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2426 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2427 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2428 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2429 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2430 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2431 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2432 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2433 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2434 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2435 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2436
2437 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2438 (CVE-2016-2106)
2439 [Matt Caswell]
2440
2441 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2442
2443 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2444 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2445 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2446
2447 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2448 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2449 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2450 applications are not affected.
2451
2452 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2453 (CVE-2016-2109)
2454 [Stephen Henson]
2455
2456 *) EBCDIC overread
2457
2458 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2459 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result

2463 (CVE-2016-2176)
2464 [Matt Caswell]
2465
2466 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2467 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2468 [Todd Short]
2469
2470 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2471 default.
2472 [Kurt Roeckx]
2473
2474 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2475 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2476 [Kurt Roeckx]
2477
2478 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2479
2480 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2481 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2482 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2483 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2484
2485 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2486 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2487 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2488 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2489 will need to explicitly call either of:
2490
2491 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2492 or
2493 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2494
2495 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2496 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2497 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2498 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2499 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2500 (CVE-2016-0800)
2501 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2502
2503 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2504
2505 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2506 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2507 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2508 considered rare.
2509
2510 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2511 libFuzzer.
2512 (CVE-2016-0705)
2513 [Stephen Henson]
2514
2515 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2516
2517 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2518
2519 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2520 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2521 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2522 is configured.
2523
2524 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2525 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2526 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2527 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2528 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2529 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2530 that of a valid user.
2531 (CVE-2016-0798)
2532 [Emilia Käsper]
2533
2534 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2535
2536 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2537 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2538 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2539 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2540 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2541 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2542 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2543 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2544 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2545 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2546 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2547
2548 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2549 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2550 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2551 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2552 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2553
2554 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2555 (CVE-2016-0797)
2556 [Matt Caswell]
2557
2558 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2559
2560 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2561 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2562 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2563
2564 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2565 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2566 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2567 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2568 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2569 also occur.
2570
2571 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2572 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2573 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2574 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2575 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2576 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2577 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2578 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2579 as command line arguments.
2580
2581 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2582 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2583 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2584
2585 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2586 (CVE-2016-0799)
2587 [Matt Caswell]
2588
2589 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2590
2591 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2592 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2593 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2594 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2595 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2596
2597 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2598 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2599 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2600 http://cachebleed.info.

2602 [Andy Polyakov]
2603
2604 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2605 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2606 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2607 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2608 [Emilia Käsper]
2609
2610 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2611 *) DH small subgroups
2612
2613 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2614 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2615 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2616 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2617 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2618 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2619 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2620 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2621 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2622 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2623
2624 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2625 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2626 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2627 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2628 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2629
2630 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2631 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2632 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2633 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2634
2635 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2636 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2637
2638 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2639 (CVE-2016-0701)
2640 [Matt Caswell]
2641
2642 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2643
2644 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2645 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2646 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2647 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
2648
2649 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2650 and Sebastian Schinzel.

2653
2654 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2655
2656 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2657
2658 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2659 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2660 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2661 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2662 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2663 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2664 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2665 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2666 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2667 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2668 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2669 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2673 [Andy Polyakov]
2674
2675 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2676
2677 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2678 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2679 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2680 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2681 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2682 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2683 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2684 authentication.
2685
2686 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).

2688 [Stephen Henson]
2689
2690 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2691
2692 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2693 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2694 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2695 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2696
2697 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2698 libFuzzer.

2700 [Stephen Henson]
2701
2702 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.

2713
2714 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2715
2716 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2717 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2718 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2719 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2720 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2721 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2723 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2724 (Google/BoringSSL).

2735
2736 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2737
2738 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2739 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2740 field.
2741
2742 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2743 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2744 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2745 client authentication enabled.
2746
2747 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2748 (CVE-2015-1788)
2749 [Andy Polyakov]
2750
2751 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2752
2753 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2754 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2755 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2756 time string.
2757
2758 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2759 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2760 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2761 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2762 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2763 callbacks.
2764
2765 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2766 independently by Hanno Böck.

2769
2770 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2771
2772 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2773 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2774 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2775
2776 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2777 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2778 servers are not affected.

2782 [Emilia Käsper]
2783
2784 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2785
2786 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2787 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2788 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2789 the CMS code.

2809 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2810
2811 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2812 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2813 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2814
2815 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2816 University.
2817 (CVE-2015-0291)
2818 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2819
2820 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2821
2822 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2823 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2824 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2825 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2826 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2827 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2828 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2829 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2830
2831 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2832 (CVE-2015-0290)
2833 [Matt Caswell]
2834
2835 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2836
2837 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2838 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2839 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2840 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2841 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2842 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2843 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2844 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2845 server.

2847 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2848 (CVE-2015-0207)
2849 [Matt Caswell]
2850
2851 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2852
2853 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2854 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2855 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2856 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2857 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2858 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2859 (CVE-2015-0286)
2860 [Stephen Henson]
2861
2862 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2863
2864 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2865 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2866 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2867 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2868 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2869 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2870 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

2874 [Stephen Henson]
2875
2876 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2877
2878 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2879 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2880 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2881
2882 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2883 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2884 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2885 not affected.

2888
2889 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2890
2891 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2892 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2893 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2894
2895 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2896 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2897 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.

2902
2903 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2904
2905 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2906 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2907 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.

2912 [Emilia Käsper]
2913
2914 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2915
2916 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2917 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2918 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2919 (CVE-2015-1787)
2920 [Matt Caswell]
2921
2922 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2923
2924 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2925 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2926 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2927 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2928 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2929 SSL_client_methodv23)
2930 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2931 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2932
2933 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2934 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2935 output may be predictable.
2936
2937 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2938 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2939
2940 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

2944 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2945
2946 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2947 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2948 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2949 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2950 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2951 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2952
2953 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2954 commit 517073cd4b.
2955 (CVE-2015-0209)
2956 [Matt Caswell]
2957
2958 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2959
2960 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2961 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2962
2963 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2964 (CVE-2015-0288)
2965 [Stephen Henson]
2966
2967 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2968 [Kurt Roeckx]
2969
2970 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2971
2972 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2973 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2974 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2975 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2976 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2977 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2978 [Andy Polyakov]
2979
2980 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2981 (other platforms pending).
2982 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2983
2984 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2985 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2986 [Rob Stradling]
2987
2988 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2989 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2990 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2991 [Bodo Moeller]
2992
2993 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2994 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2995 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2996 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2997 [Andy Polyakov]
2998
2999 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
3000 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
3001
3002 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3003 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3004 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3005 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3006 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3007
3008 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3009 [Andy Polyakov]
3010
3011 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3012 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3013 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3014 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3015
3016 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3017 RSAZ.
3018 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3019
3020 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3021 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3022 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3023 for TLS encrypt.
3024
3025 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3026 [Andy Polyakov]
3027
3028 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3029 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3030 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3031 [Steve Henson]
3032
3033 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3034 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3035 [Steve Henson]
3036
3037 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3038 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3039 [Steve Henson]
3040
3041 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3042 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3043 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3044 algorithms and include tests cases.
3045 [Steve Henson]
3046
3047 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3048 structure.
3049 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3050
3051 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3052 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3053 [Steve Henson]
3054
3055 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3056 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3057 summary of the connection parameters.
3058 [Steve Henson]
3059
3060 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3061 of connection parameters.
3062 [Steve Henson]
3063
3064 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3065 [Trevor Perrin <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3066
3067 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3068 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3069 [Steve Henson]
3070
3071 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3072 [Steve Henson]
3073
3074 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3075 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3076 [Steve Henson]
3077
3078 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3079 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3083 certificates.
3084 [Steve Henson]
3085
3086 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3087 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3088 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3089 [Steve Henson]
3090
3091 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3095 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3096 [Steve Henson]
3097
3098 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3099 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3100 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3101 tracing.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3105 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3106 [Steve Henson]
3107
3108 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3109 OID NID.
3110 [Steve Henson]
3111
3112 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3113 client to OpenSSL.
3114 [Steve Henson]
3115
3116 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3117 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3118 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3119 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3120 [Steve Henson]
3121
3122 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3123 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3124 [Steve Henson]
3125
3126 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3127 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3128 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3129 comparison.
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3133 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3134 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3135 use the certificate.
3136 [Steve Henson]
3137
3138 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3139 [Steve Henson]
3140
3141 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3142 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3143 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3144 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3145 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3146 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3147 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3148
3149 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3150 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3151
3152 [Steve Henson]
3153
3154 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3155 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3156 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3157 [Steve Henson]
3158
3159 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3160 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3161 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3162 supported signature algorithms.
3163 [Steve Henson]
3164
3165 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3166 [Steve Henson]
3167
3168 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3169 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3170 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3171 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3172 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3173 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3174 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3175 [Steve Henson]
3176
3177 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3178 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3179 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3180 to have similar checks in it.
3181
3182 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3183 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3184 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3185 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3186 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3187 [Steve Henson]
3188
3189 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3190 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3191 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3192 shared signature algorithms.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3196 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3197 to support them.
3198 [Steve Henson]
3199
3200 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3201 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3202 it couldn't be removed.
3203 [Steve Henson]
3204
3205 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3206 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3207 [Steve Henson]
3208
3209 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3210 functions. Add manual page.
3211 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3212
3213 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3214 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3215 a certificate.
3216 [Steve Henson]
3217
3218 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3219 [Rob Stradling <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3220
3221 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3222 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3223 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3224 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3225 utility) or reject.
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3229 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3230 [Steve Henson]
3231
3232 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3233 platform support for Linux and Android.
3234 [Andy Polyakov]
3235
3236 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3237 [Andy Polyakov]
3238
3239 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3240 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3241 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3242 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3243 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3244 [Steve Henson]
3245
3246 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3247 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3248 the new parameter format automatically.
3249 [Steve Henson]
3250
3251 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3252 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3253 [Steve Henson]
3254
3255 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3256 [Steve Henson]
3257
3258 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3259 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3260 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3261 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3262 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3263 [Steve Henson]
3264
3265 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3266 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3267 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3268 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3269 to set list of supported curves.
3270 [Steve Henson]
3271
3272 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3273 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3274 to print out received values.
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3278 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3279 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3280 [Steve Henson]
3281
3282 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3283 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3284 [Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3287 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3288 [Steve Henson]
3289
3290 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3291 certificates.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3295 the certificate.
3296 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3297 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3298 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3299
3300 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3301
3302 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3303 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3304
3305 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3306
3307 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3308 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3309 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3310 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3311 (CVE-2014-3571)
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3315 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3316 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3317 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3318 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3319 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3320 (CVE-2015-0206)
3321 [Matt Caswell]
3322
3323 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3324 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3325 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3326 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3327 (CVE-2014-3569)
3328 [Kurt Roeckx]
3329
3330 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3331 ECDH ciphersuites.
3332
3333 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3334 reporting this issue.
3335 (CVE-2014-3572)
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3339 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3340 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3341 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3342 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3343 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3344 (CVE-2015-0204)
3345 [Steve Henson]
3346
3347 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3348 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3349 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3350 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3351 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3352 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3353 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3354 this issue.
3355 (CVE-2015-0205)
3356 [Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3359 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3360
3361 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3362 and can vary with the CTX.
3363 [Adam Langley]
3364
3365 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3366
3367 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3368 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3369 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3370 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3371 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3372
3373 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3374
3375 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3376 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3377
3378 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3379
3380 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3381 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3382 errors for some broken certificates.
3383
3384 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3385
3386 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3387
3388 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3389 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3390
3391 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3392 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3393 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3394 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3395
3396 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3397 of the OpenSSL core team.
3398
3399 (CVE-2014-8275)
3400 [Steve Henson]
3401
3402 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3403 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3404 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3405 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3406 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3407 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3408 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3409 the OpenSSL core team.
3410 (CVE-2014-3570)
3411 [Andy Polyakov]
3412
3413 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3414 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3415 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3416 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3417 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3418
3419 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3420 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3421 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3422 [Emilia Käsper]
3423
3424 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3425 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3426 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3427 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3428 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3429
3430 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3431 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3432 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3433 [Emilia Käsper]
3434
3435 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3436
3437 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3438
3439 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3440 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3441 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3442 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3443 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3444 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3445 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3446
3447 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3448 (CVE-2014-3513)
3449 [OpenSSL team]
3450
3451 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3452
3453 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3454 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3455 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3456 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3457 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3458 attack.
3459 (CVE-2014-3567)
3460 [Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3463
3464 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3465 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3466 configured to send them.
3467 (CVE-2014-3568)
3468 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3469
3470 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3471 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3472 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3473 (CVE-2014-3566)
3474 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3475
3476 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3477
3478 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3479 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3480 DigestInfo structures.
3481
3482 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3483
3484 [Steve Henson]
3485
3486 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3487
3488 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3489 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3490 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3491
3492 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3493 Group for discovering this issue.
3494 (CVE-2014-3512)
3495 [Steve Henson]
3496
3497 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3498 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3499 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3500 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3501 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3502
3503 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3504 researching this issue.
3505 (CVE-2014-3511)
3506 [David Benjamin]
3507
3508 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3509 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3510 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3511 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3512
3513 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3514 issue.
3515 (CVE-2014-3510)
3516 [Emilia Käsper]
3517
3518 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3519 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3520 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3521 (CVE-2014-3507)
3522 [Adam Langley]
3523
3524 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3525 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3526 Denial of Service attack.
3527 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3528 (CVE-2014-3506)
3529 [Adam Langley]
3530
3531 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3532 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3533 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3534 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3535 this issue.
3536 (CVE-2014-3505)
3537 [Adam Langley]
3538
3539 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3540 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3541 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3542
3543 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3544 issue.
3545 (CVE-2014-3509)
3546 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3547
3548 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3549 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3550 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3551 Denial of Service attack.
3552
3553 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3554 discovering and researching this issue.
3555 (CVE-2014-5139)
3556 [Steve Henson]
3557
3558 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3559 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3560 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3561 output to the attacker.
3562
3563 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3564 (CVE-2014-3508)
3565 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3566
3567 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3568 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3569 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3570 [Bodo Moeller]
3571
3572 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3573
3574 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3575 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3576 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3577
3578 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3579 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3580 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3581
3582 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3583 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3584 in a DoS attack.
3585
3586 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3587 (CVE-2014-0221)
3588 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3589
3590 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3591 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3592 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3593 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3594
3595 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3596 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3597
3598 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3599 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3600
3601 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3602 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3603 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3604
3605 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3606 compilation flags.
3607 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3608
3609 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3610 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3611 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3612
3613 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3614 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3615
3616 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3617
3618 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3619 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3620 server.
3621
3622 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3623 Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Bodo Moeller <[email protected]> for
3624 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3625 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3626
3627 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3628 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3629 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3630 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3631
3632 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3633 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3634 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3635
3636 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3637
3638 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3639 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3640 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3641 is at least 512 bytes long.
3642
3643 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3644
3645 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3646
3647 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3648 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3649 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3650 (CVE-2013-4353)
3651
3652 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3653 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3654 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3655 [Steve Henson]
3656
3657 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3658 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3659 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3660 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3661 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3662 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3663 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3664
3665 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3666
3667 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3668 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3669 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3670
3671 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3672
3673 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3674
3675 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3676 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3677 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3678
3679 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3680 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3681 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3682 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3683 (CVE-2013-0169)
3684 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3685
3686 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3687 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3688 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <[email protected]> for discovering
3689 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3690 <[email protected]> for independently discovering this issue.
3691 (CVE-2012-2686)
3692 [Adam Langley]
3693
3694 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3695 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3696 [Steve Henson]
3697
3698 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3699 [Chris Palmer <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3700
3701 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3702 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3703 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3704 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3705 [Rob Stradling <[email protected]>]
3706
3707 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3708 [Steve Henson]
3709
3710 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3711 if renegotiating.
3712 [Steve Henson]
3713
3714 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3715
3716 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3717 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3718
3719 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3720 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3721 (CVE-2012-2333)
3722 [Steve Henson]
3723
3724 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3725 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3726 [Steve Henson]
3727
3728 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3729 approved.
3730 [Steve Henson]
3731
3732 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3733
3734 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3735 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3736 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3737 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3738 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3739 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3740 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3741 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3742 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3743 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3747 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3748 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3749 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3750 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3751 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3752 client side.
3753 [Andy Polyakov]
3754
3755 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3756
3757 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3758 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3759 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3760
3761 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3762 issue and to Adam Langley <[email protected]> for fixing it.
3763 (CVE-2012-2110)
3764 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3765
3766 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3767 [Adam Langley]
3768
3769 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3770 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3771
3772 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3773 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3774 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3775 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3776 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3777 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3778 Most broken servers should now work.
3779 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3780 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3781 [Steve Henson]
3782
3783 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3784 [Andy Polyakov]
3785
3786 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3787
3788 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3789 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3790 [Steve Henson]
3791
3792 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3793 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3794 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3795 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3796 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3797 [Steve Henson]
3798
3799 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3800 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3801 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3802 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3803 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3804 [Steve Henson]
3805
3806 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3807 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
3808
3809 *) Add support for SCTP.
3810 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
3811
3812 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3813 [Paul Green <[email protected]>]
3814
3815 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3816
3817 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3818 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3819 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3820 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3821 - s390x: z196 support;
3822 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3823
3824 [Andy Polyakov]
3825
3826 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3827 (removal of unnecessary code)
3828 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
3829
3830 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3831 [Eric Rescorla]
3832
3833 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3834 [Eric Rescorla]
3835
3836 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3837 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3838 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3839 by Google.
3840 [Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3841
3842 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3843 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3844 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3845 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3846 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3847
3848 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3849 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3850 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3851
3852 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3853 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3854 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3855
3856 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3857 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3858 implementations).
3859 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3860
3861 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instead of ssize_t which isn't available on
3862 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3863 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3864 [Steve Henson]
3865
3866 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3867 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3868 particular PSS.
3869 [Steve Henson]
3870
3871 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3872 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3873 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3874 [Steve Henson]
3875
3876 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3877 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3878 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3879 the appropriate parameters.
3880 [Steve Henson]
3881
3882 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3883 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3884 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3885 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3886 against a number of sample certificates.
3887 [Steve Henson]
3888
3889 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3890 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <[email protected]>]
3891
3892 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3893 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3894
3895 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3896 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3897 parameters r, s.
3898 [Steve Henson]
3899
3900 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3901 RFC3211.
3902 [Steve Henson]
3903
3904 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3905 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3906 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3907 password based CMS).
3908 [Steve Henson]
3909
3910 *) Session-handling fixes:
3911 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3912 but also support Session Tickets.
3913 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3914 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3915 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3916 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3917 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3918 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3919
3920 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3921 [Bodo Moeller]
3922
3923 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3924
3925 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3926 [Andy Polyakov]
3927
3928 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3929 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3930 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3931 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3932 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3933 [Steve Henson]
3934
3935 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3936 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3937 [Steve Henson]
3938
3939 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3940 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3941 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3942 [Steve Henson]
3943
3944 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3945 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3946 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3947 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3948 [Steve Henson]
3949
3950 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3951 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3952 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3953 [Steve Henson]
3954
3955 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3956 [Peter Eckersley <[email protected]>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3957
3958 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3959 [Steve Henson]
3960
3961 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3962 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3963 [Steve Henson]
3964
3965 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3966 [Steve Henson]
3967
3968 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3969 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3973 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3974 [Steve Henson]
3975
3976 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3977 [Steve Henson]
3978
3979 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3980 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3981 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3985 [Steve Henson]
3986
3987 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3988 [Steve Henson]
3989
3990 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3991 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3992 [Steve Henson]
3993
3994 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3995 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3996 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3997 [Steve Henson]
3998
3999 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4000 [Steve Henson]
4001
4002 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4003 and enable MD5.
4004 [Steve Henson]
4005
4006 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4007 FIPS modules versions.
4008 [Steve Henson]
4009
4010 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4011 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4012 until after the certificate request message is received.
4013 [Steve Henson]
4014
4015 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4016 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4017 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4018 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4019 [Steve Henson]
4020
4021 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4022 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4023 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4024 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4025 [Steve Henson]
4026
4027 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4028 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4029 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4030 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4031 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4032 and version checking.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4036 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4037 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4038 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4039 [Steve Henson]
4040
4041 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4042 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4043 [Christophe Renou <[email protected]>, Peter Sylvester
4044 <[email protected]>, Tom Wu <[email protected]>, and
4045 Ben Laurie]
4046
4047 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4048 [Steve Henson]
4049
4050 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4051 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4052 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
4053
4054 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4055 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4056 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4057 [Steve Henson]
4058
4059 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4060 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4063 a few changes are required:
4064
4065 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4066 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4067 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4068 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4069 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4070 [Steve Henson]
4071
4072 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4073
4074 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4075 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4076 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4077 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4078 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4079 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4080 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4081 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> for discovering
4082 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4083 [Steve Henson]
4084
4085 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4086 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4087 Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> for discovering this bug.
4088 [Steve Henson]
4089
4090 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4091
4092 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4093 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4094 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4095 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4096 [Antonio Martin]
4097
4098 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4099
4100 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4101 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4102 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4103 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4104 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4105 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4106 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4107 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4108 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4109 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4110 <[email protected]> and Michael Tuexen <[email protected]>
4111 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4112 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4113
4114 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4115 (CVE-2011-4576)
4116 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4117
4118 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4119 Kadianakis <[email protected]> for discovering this issue and
4120 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4121 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4122
4123 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4124 [Andrey Kulikov <[email protected]>]
4125
4126 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4127 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4128 and Rob Austein <[email protected]> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4129 [Rob Austein <[email protected]>]
4130
4131 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4132 [Paul Green <[email protected]>]
4133
4134 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4135 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4136
4137 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4138 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4139
4140 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4141 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4142 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4143
4144 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4145 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4146 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4147
4148 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4149 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4150 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4151 the last update always remained unused).
4152 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4153
4154 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4155 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4156
4157 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4158
4159 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4160 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4161 [Kaspar Brand <[email protected]>]
4162
4163 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4164 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4165 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4166
4167 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4168 [Bodo Moeller]
4169
4170 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4171 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4172 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4173 [Steve Henson]
4174
4175 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4176 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4177
4178 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4179
4180 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4181
4182 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4183
4184 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4185 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4186
4187 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4188 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4189 ambiguous.
4190 [Steve Henson]
4191
4192 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4193
4194 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4195 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4196 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4200 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4201 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4202 [Ben Laurie]
4203
4204 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4205
4206 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4207 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4208 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4209 [Steve Henson]
4210
4211 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4212 a DLL.
4213 [Steve Henson]
4214
4215 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4216
4217 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4218 (CVE-2010-1633)
4219 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <[email protected]>]
4220
4221 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4222
4223 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4224 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4225 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4226 [Steve Henson]
4227
4228 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4232 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4233 [Willy Weisz <[email protected]>]
4234
4235 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4236 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4237 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4238 [Steve Henson]
4239
4240 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4241 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4242 [Steve Henson]
4243
4244 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4245 some responders need this.
4246 [Steve Henson]
4247
4248 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4249 correctly.
4250 [Julia Lawall <[email protected]>]
4251
4252 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4253 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4254 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4255 [Steve Henson]
4256
4257 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4258 [Steve Henson]
4259
4260 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4261 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4262 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4263 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4264 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4265 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4266 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4267 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4268 [Steve Henson]
4269
4270 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4271 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4272 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4273 [Guenter <[email protected]>]
4274
4275 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4276 [Michael Tuexen <[email protected]>]
4277
4278 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4279 be used on C++.
4280 [Steve Henson]
4281
4282 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4283 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4284 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4285 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4286 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4287 attempting to work them out.
4288 [Steve Henson]
4289
4290 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4291 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4292 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4293 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4294 [Steve Henson]
4295
4296 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4297 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4298 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4299 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4300 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4301 [Steve Henson]
4302
4303 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4304 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4305 you can do:
4306
4307 openssl sha256 foo
4308
4309 as well as:
4310
4311 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4312
4313 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4314
4315 [Steve Henson]
4316
4317 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4318 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4319
4320 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4321 [Oliver Martin <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4322
4323 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4324 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4325 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4326 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4327 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4328 [Steve Henson]
4329
4330 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4331 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4332 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4336 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4337 [Steve Henson]
4338
4339 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4340 [Jouni Malinen <[email protected]>]
4341
4342 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4343 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4344 [Steve Henson]
4345
4346 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4347 [Ben Laurie]
4348
4349 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4350 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4351 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4352 CONF_VALUE.
4353 [Ben Laurie]
4354
4355 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4356 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4357 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4358 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4359 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4360 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4361 [Steve Henson]
4362
4363 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4364 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4365
4366 This work was sponsored by Google.
4367 [Steve Henson]
4368
4369 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4370 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4371 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4372 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4373 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4374 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4375 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4376 default.
4377
4378 This work was sponsored by Google.
4379 [Steve Henson]
4380
4381 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4382
4383 This work was sponsored by Google.
4384 [Steve Henson]
4385
4386 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4387 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4388 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4389 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4390
4391 This work was sponsored by Google.
4392 [Steve Henson]
4393
4394 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4395 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4396 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4397 CRL functionality in future.
4398
4399 This work was sponsored by Google.
4400 [Steve Henson]
4401
4402 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4403
4404 This work was sponsored by Google.
4405 [Steve Henson]
4406
4407 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4408 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4409
4410 This work was sponsored by Google.
4411 [Steve Henson]
4412
4413 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4414 and URI types are currently supported.
4415
4416 This work was sponsored by Google.
4417 [Steve Henson]
4418
4419 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4420 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4421 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4422 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4423 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4424 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4425 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4426 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4427
4428 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4429 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4430 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4431
4432 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4433 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4434 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4435 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4436
4437 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4438 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4439 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4440 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4441 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4442 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4443 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4444 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4445 of &errno.)
4446 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4447
4448 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4449 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4450 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4451
4452 This work was sponsored by Google.
4453 [Steve Henson]
4454
4455 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4456 [Ben Laurie]
4457
4458 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4459 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4460 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4461 [Ben Laurie]
4462
4463 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4464 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4465 [Nick Mathewson]
4466
4467 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4468 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4469 [Ben Laurie]
4470
4471 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4472 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4473 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4474 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4475 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4476 content types and variants.
4477 [Steve Henson]
4478
4479 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4480 [Steve Henson]
4481
4482 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4483 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4484 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4485 files from the associated perl scripts.
4486 [Steve Henson]
4487
4488 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4489 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4490 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4491
4492 *) s390x assembler pack.
4493 [Andy Polyakov]
4494
4495 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4496 "family."
4497 [Andy Polyakov]
4498
4499 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4500 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4501 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4502 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4503 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4504 to use. For example, specify an option
4505
4506 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4507
4508 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4509 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4510 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4511 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4512 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4513 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4514
4515 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4516 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4517 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4518 return non-zero for success.
4519
4520 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4521 by using
4522
4523 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4524 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4525
4526 where
4527
4528 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4529 void *arg;
4530
4531 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4532 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4533 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4534 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4535 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4536 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4537 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4538 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4539 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4540
4541 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4542 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4543 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4544 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4545 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4546 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4547
4548 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4549 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4550 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4551 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4552 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4553 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4554
4555 [Bodo Moeller]
4556
4557 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4558 MAC.
4559
4560 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4561
4562 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4563 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4564 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4565 supported.
4566
4567 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4568 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4569 SSL_SESSION.
4570
4571 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4572 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4573 with no application modification.
4574
4575 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4576 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4577
4578 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4579 or server extensions to be examined.
4580
4581 This work was sponsored by Google.
4582 [Steve Henson]
4583
4584 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4585 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4586 [Peter Hartley <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4587
4588 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4589 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4590 ciphersuite support.
4591 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4592
4593 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4594 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4595 to output in BER and PEM format.
4596 [Steve Henson]
4597
4598 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4599 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4600 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4601 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4602 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4603 [Steve Henson]
4604
4605 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4606 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4607 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4608 utility.
4609 [Steve Henson]
4610
4611 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4612 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4613 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4614 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4615 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4616 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4617 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4618 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4619 enabled again.
4620
4621 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4622 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4623 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4624 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4625
4626 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4627 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4628 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4629 the default order.
4630 [Bodo Moeller]
4631
4632 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4633 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4634 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4635 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4636 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4637 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4638 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4639 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4640 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4641
4642 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4643 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4644 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4645 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4646 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4647 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4648 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4649 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4650 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4651 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4652 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4653 kinds of kludges.
4654
4655 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4656 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4657 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4658
4659 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4660 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4661 "CAMELLIA256".
4662 [Bodo Moeller]
4663
4664 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4665 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4666 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4667 [Nils Larsch]
4668
4669 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4670 it yet and it is largely untested.
4671 [Steve Henson]
4672
4673 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4674 [Nils Larsch]
4675
4676 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4677 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4678 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4679 [Steve Henson]
4680
4681 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4682 [Andy Polyakov]
4683
4684 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4685 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4686 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4687 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4688 [Steve Henson]
4689
4690 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4691 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4692 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4693 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4694 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4695 [Steve Henson]
4696
4697 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4698 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4699 [Cryptocom]
4700
4701 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4702 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4703 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4704 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4705 [Steve Henson]
4706
4707 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4708 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4709 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4710 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4711 [Steve Henson]
4712
4713 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4714 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4715 [Steve Henson]
4716
4717 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4718 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4719 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4720 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4721 [Steve Henson]
4722
4723 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4724 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4725 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4726 [Steve Henson]
4727
4728 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4729 utility.
4730 [Steve Henson]
4731
4732 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4733 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4734 [Steve Henson]
4735
4736 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4737 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4738 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4739 if necessary.
4740 [Steve Henson]
4741
4742 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4743 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4744 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4745 [Steve Henson]
4746
4747 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4748 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4749 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4750 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4751 [Steve Henson]
4752
4753 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4754 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4755 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4756 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4757 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4758 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4759 [Douglas Stebila]
4760
4761 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4762 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4763 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4764 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4765 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4766
4767 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4768 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4769 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4770 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4771 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4772 protocol).
4773
4774 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4775 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4776 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4777 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4778
4779 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4780 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4781 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4782 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4783 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4784
4785 aECDH - ECDH cert
4786 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4787 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4788
4789 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4790 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4791
4792 [Bodo Moeller]
4793
4794 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4795 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4796 [Steve Henson]
4797
4798 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4799 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4800 [Steve Henson]
4801
4802 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4803 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4804 functional reference processing.
4805 [Steve Henson]
4806
4807 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4808 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4809 process.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4813 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4814 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4815 [Steve Henson]
4816
4817 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4818 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4819 application to support multiple signers.
4820 [Steve Henson]
4821
4822 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4823 digest MAC.
4824 [Steve Henson]
4825
4826 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4827 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4828 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4829 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4830 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4831 [Steve Henson]
4832
4833 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4834 new API.
4835 [Steve Henson]
4836
4837 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4838 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4839 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4840 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4841 a no op.
4842 [Steve Henson]
4843
4844 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4845 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4846 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4847 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4848 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4849 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4850 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4851 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4852 [Steve Henson]
4853
4854 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4855 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4856 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4857 between digests and public key types.
4858 [Steve Henson]
4859
4860 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4861 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4862 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4863 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4864 [Steve Henson]
4865
4866 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4867 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4868 key ASN1 method.
4869 [Steve Henson]
4870
4871 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4872 [Steve Henson]
4873
4874 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4875 pkeyutl.
4876 [Steve Henson]
4877
4878 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4879 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4880 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4881 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4882 pkey, genpkey.
4883 [Steve Henson]
4884
4885 *) BeOS support.
4886 [Oliver Tappe <[email protected]>]
4887
4888 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4889 manual pages.
4890 [Oliver Tappe <[email protected]>]
4891
4892 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4893 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4894 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4895 functionality for RSA.
4896 [Steve Henson]
4897
4898 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4899 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4900 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4901 [Steve Henson]
4902
4903 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4904 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4905 [Steve Henson]
4906
4907 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4908 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4909 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4910 [Steve Henson]
4911
4912 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4913 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4914 [Douglas Stebila]
4915
4916 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4917 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4918 [Steve Henson]
4919
4920 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4921 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4922 type.
4923 [Steve Henson]
4924
4925 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4926 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4927 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4928 structure.
4929 [Steve Henson]
4930
4931 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4932 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4933 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4934 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4935 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4936 of public and private key structures.
4937 [Steve Henson]
4938
4939 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4940 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4941 [Douglas Stebila]
4942
4943 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4944 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4945 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4946
4947 New ciphersuites:
4948 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4949 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4950
4951 New functions:
4952 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4953 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4954 SSL_get_psk_identity
4955 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4956
4957 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4958
4959 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4960 and response verification functionality.
4961 [Zoltán Glózik <[email protected]>, The OpenTSA Project]
4962
4963 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4964 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4965 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4966 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4967 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4968 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4969 server_name extension.
4970
4971 New functions (subject to change):
4972
4973 SSL_get_servername()
4974 SSL_get_servername_type()
4975 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4976
4977 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4978
4979 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4980 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4981 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4982 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4983 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4984
4985 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4986
4987 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4988 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4989 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4990 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4991 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4992 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4993 option.
4994
4995 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4996
4997 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4998 [Andy Polyakov]
4999
5000 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
5001 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
5002 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5003 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5004 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5005 [Andy Polyakov]
5006
5007 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5008 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5009 macro.
5010 [Bodo Moeller]
5011
5012 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5013 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5014 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5015 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5016 [Andy Polyakov]
5017
5018 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5019 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5020 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5021 using the maximum available value.
5022 [Steve Henson]
5023
5024 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5025 in addition to the text details.
5026 [Bodo Moeller]
5027
5028 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5029 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5030 handle several customised structures at all.
5031 [Steve Henson]
5032
5033 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5034 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5035 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5036 [Steve Henson]
5037
5038 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5039 [Steve Henson]
5040
5041 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5042 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5043 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5044 [Steve Henson]
5045
5046 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5047 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5048 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5049 [Nils Larsch]
5050
5051 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5052 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5053 all fields.
5054 [Steve Henson]
5055
5056 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5057 [Steve Henson]
5058
5059 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5060 [NTT]
5061
5062 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5063
5064 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5065 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5066 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5067 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5068 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5069 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5070 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5071 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <[email protected]>]
5072
5073 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5074 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5075 [Tomas Hoger <[email protected]>]
5076
5077 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5078
5079 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5080 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5081
5082 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5083 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5084 [Bodo Moeller]
5085
5086 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5087 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5088 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5089 [Steve Henson]
5090
5091 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5092 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5093 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5094 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5095 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5096 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5097 [Steve Henson]
5098
5099 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5100 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5101 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5102 [Steve Henson]
5103
5104 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5105 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5106 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5107 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5108 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5109 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5110 CVE-2009-4355.
5111 [Steve Henson]
5112
5113 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5114 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5115 [Bodo Moeller]
5116
5117 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5118 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5119 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5120 [Steve Henson]
5121
5122 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5123 [Steve Henson]
5124
5125 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5126 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5127 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5128 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5129 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5130 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5131 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5132 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5133 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5134 [Steve Henson]
5135
5136 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5137 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5138 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5139 [Steve Henson]
5140
5141 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5142 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5143 [Steve Henson]
5144
5145 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5146 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5147 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5148 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5149 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5150 know what you are doing.
5151 [Eric Rescorla <[email protected]>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5152
5153 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5154 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5155 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5156 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5157 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5158 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5159 the handshake.
5160 [Steve Henson]
5161
5162 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5163 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5164 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5165 correctly.
5166 [Julia Lawall <[email protected]>]
5167
5168 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5169 warnings in other configurations.
5170 [Steve Henson]
5171
5172 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5173 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5174 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5175 systems need.
5176 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5177
5178 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5179 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5180 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5181
5182 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5183 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5184 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5185 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5186 [Steve Henson]
5187
5188 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5189 and restored.
5190 [Steve Henson]
5191
5192 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5193 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5194 clash.
5195 [Guenter <[email protected]>]
5196
5197 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5198 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5199 other than a simple chain.
5200 [David Woodhouse <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
5201
5202 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5203 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5204 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5205 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5206 [Steve Henson]
5207
5208 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5209 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5210 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5211 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5212 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5213 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5214 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5215 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5216 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5217
5218 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5219 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5220 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5221 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5222 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5223 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5224 (CVE-2009-1377)
5225 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5226
5227 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5228 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5229 [Daniel Mentz]
5230
5231 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5232 [Darryl Miles <[email protected]>]
5233
5234 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5235 [Ilya O. <[email protected]>]
5236
5237 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5238
5239 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5240 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5241 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5242 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5243 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5244 you're doing.
5245 [Ben Laurie]
5246
5247 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5248
5249 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5250 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5251 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5252 [Paolo Ganci <[email protected]>]
5253
5254 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5255 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5256 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5257 [Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]>]
5258
5259 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5260 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5261 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5262 [Steve Henson]
5263
5264 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5265 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5266 level.
5267 [Steve Henson]
5268
5269 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5270 to handle some structures.
5271 [Steve Henson]
5272
5273 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5274 for a '\n'
5275 [Jeremy Shapiro <[email protected]>]
5276
5277 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5278 [Matthieu Herrb]
5279
5280 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5281 [Steve Henson]
5282
5283 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5284 [Steve Henson]
5285
5286 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5287 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5288 chosen compiler.
5289 [Ben Laurie]
5290
5291 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5292
5293 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5294 (CVE-2008-5077).
5295 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5296
5297 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5298 [Ben Laurie]
5299
5300 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5301 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5302 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5303 [Sander Temme <[email protected]>]
5304
5305 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5306 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5307
5308 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5309 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5310 [Bodo Moeller]
5311
5312 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5313 s_client and s_server.
5314 [Ben Laurie]
5315
5316 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5317 [Rob Austein <[email protected]>]
5318
5319 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5320 [Philip Paeps <[email protected]>]
5321
5322 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5323 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5324 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5325 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5326 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5327 [Bodo Moeller]
5328
5329 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5330
5331 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5332 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5333 [PR #1679]
5334
5335 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5336 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5337 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5338
5339 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5340 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5341 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5342 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5343
5344 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5345 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5346
5347 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5348
5349 *) Various precautionary measures:
5350
5351 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5352
5353 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5354 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5355 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5356
5357 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5358 outside the expected range.
5359
5360 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5361 builds.
5362
5363 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5364
5365 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5366 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5367 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5368
5369 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5370 [Steve Henson]
5371
5372 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5373 [Huang Ying]
5374
5375 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5376
5377 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5378 [Steve Henson]
5379
5380 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5381 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5382 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5383
5384 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5385 [Steve Henson]
5386
5387 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5388 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5389 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5390 files.
5391 [Steve Henson]
5392
5393 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5394
5395 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5396 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5397 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5398 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5399
5400 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5401 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5402 [Joe Orton]
5403
5404 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5405
5406 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5407 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5408 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5409
5410 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5411
5412 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5413 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5414 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5415 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5416 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5417
5418 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5419 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5420 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5421 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5422 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5423 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5424 [Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]>]
5425
5426 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5427
5428 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5429 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5430 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5431 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5432 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5433
5434 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5435 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5436
5437 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5438 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5439 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5440 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5441 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5442
5443 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5444
5445 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5446 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5447 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5448 sets may exist with different names.
5449 [Steve Henson]
5450
5451 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5452 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5453 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5454 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5455 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5456 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5457 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5458 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5459 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5460 implementation.
5461 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5462
5463 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5464 implementation in the following ways:
5465
5466 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5467 hard coded.
5468
5469 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5470 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5471 ignored for embedded content.
5472
5473 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5474 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5475 [Steve Henson]
5476
5477 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5478 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5479 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5480 [Paul Sheer <[email protected]>]
5481
5482 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5483 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5484 [Steve Henson]
5485
5486 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5487 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5488 [Steve Henson]
5489
5490 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5491 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5492 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5493 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5494 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5495 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5496 data.
5497 [Steve Henson]
5498
5499 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5500 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5501 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5502
5503 *) Netware support:
5504
5505 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5506 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5507 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5508 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5509 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5510 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5511 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5512 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5513 platform
5514 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5515 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5516 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5517 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5518 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5519 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5520 [Guenter Knauf <[email protected]>]
5521
5522 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5523 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5524 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5525 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5526 to s_client and s_server.
5527 [Steve Henson]
5528
5529 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5530
5531 *) Fix various bugs:
5532 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5533 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5534 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5535 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5536 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5537
5538 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5539
5540 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5541 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5542 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5543 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5544 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5545 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5546 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5547 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5548 [Andy Polyakov]
5549
5550 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5551 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5552 [Kurt Roeckx <[email protected]>, Peter Hartley <[email protected]>,
5553 Steve Henson]
5554
5555 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5556 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5557 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5558 supported.
5559
5560 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5561 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5562 SSL_SESSION.
5563
5564 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5565 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5566 with no application modification.
5567
5568 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5569 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5570
5571 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5572 or server extensions to be examined.
5573
5574 This work was sponsored by Google.
5575 [Steve Henson]
5576
5577 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5578 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5579 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5580 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5581 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5582 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5583 server_name extension.
5584
5585 New functions (subject to change):
5586
5587 SSL_get_servername()
5588 SSL_get_servername_type()
5589 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5590
5591 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5592
5593 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5594 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5595 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5596 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5597 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5598
5599 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5600
5601 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5602 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5603 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5604 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5605 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5606 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5607 option.
5608
5609 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5610
5611 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5612 [Steve Henson]
5613
5614 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5615 [Andy Polyakov]
5616
5617 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5618 (which previously caused an internal error).
5619 [Bodo Moeller]
5620
5621 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5622 [Ben Laurie]
5623
5624 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5625 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5626
5627 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5628 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5629 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5630
5631 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5632 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5633 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5634 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5635
5636 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5637 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5638 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5639 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5640
5641 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5642 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5643 information. For detailed background information, see
5644 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5645 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5646 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5647 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5648 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5649 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5650 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5651 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5652 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5653 remove a conditional branch.
5654
5655 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5656 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5657 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5658 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5659 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5660 remains as a deprecated alias.
5661
5662 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5663 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5664 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5665 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5666
5667 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5668 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5669 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5670 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5671 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5672 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5673 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5674 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5675
5676 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5677
5678 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5679 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5680 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5681 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5682 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5683 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5684 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5685 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5686 in a different context.
5687 [Bodo Moeller]
5688
5689 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5690 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5691 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5692 [Bodo Moeller]
5693
5694 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5695 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5696 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5697
5698 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5699
5700 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5701 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5702 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5703 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5704 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5705 [Victor Duchovni]
5706
5707 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5708 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5709 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5710 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5711 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5712 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5713 [Bodo Moeller]
5714
5715 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5716 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5717 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5718 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5719 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5720 [Bodo Moeller]
5721
5722 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5723 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5724
5725 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5726 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5727 Improve header file function name parsing.
5728 [Steve Henson]
5729
5730 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5731 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5732 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5733
5734 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5735
5736 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5737 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5738 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5739
5740 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5741 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5742
5743 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5744 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5745
5746 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5747 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5748 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5749
5750 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5751 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5752 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5753 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5754 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5755 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5756 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5757 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5758 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5759
5760 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5761 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5762 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5763 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5764 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5765
5766 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5767 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5768 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5769 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5770 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5771 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5772 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5773 multiple values to extend the available space.
5774
5775 [Bodo Moeller]
5776
5777 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5778
5779 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5780 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5781
5782 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5783 [Ben Laurie]
5784
5785 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5786 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5787 undesirable limitations.
5788 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5789
5790 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5791 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5792 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5793 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5794 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5795 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5796 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5797 [Bodo Moeller]
5798
5799 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5800
5801 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5802 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5803 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5804
5805 The latter two were purportedly from
5806 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5807 appear there.
5808
5809 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5810 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5811 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5812 [Bodo Moeller]
5813
5814 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5815 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5816 [Bodo Moeller]
5817
5818 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5819 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5820 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5821 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5822
5823 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5824 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5825 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5826 [NTT]
5827
5828 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5829 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5830 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5831 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5832 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5833 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5834 [Steve Henson]
5835
5836 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5837
5838 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5839 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5840 [Steve Henson]
5841
5842 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5843 [Austin Ziegler <[email protected]>]
5844
5845 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5846 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5847 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5848 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5849 [Douglas Stebila]
5850
5851 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5852 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5853 [Steve Henson]
5854
5855 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5856 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5857 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5858 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5859 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5860 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5861 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5862 can't be loaded.
5863 [Steve Henson]
5864
5865 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5866 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5867 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5868 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5869 [Steve Henson]
5870
5871 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5872 under VC++ build system.
5873 [Steve Henson]
5874
5875 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5876 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5877 [Richard Levitte]
5878
5879 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5880
5881 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5882 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5883 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5884 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5885 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5886
5887 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5888 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5889 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5890
5891 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5892 [Steve Henson]
5893
5894 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5895 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5896 [Nils Larsch]
5897
5898 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5899 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5900
5901 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5902 [Nick Mathewson]
5903
5904 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5905 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5906
5907 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5908 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5909 [Steve Henson]
5910
5911 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5912 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5913 smime utility.
5914 [Steve Henson]
5915
5916 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5917
5918 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5919 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5920
5921 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5922 [Richard Levitte]
5923
5924 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5925 key into the same file any more.
5926 [Richard Levitte]
5927
5928 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5929 [Andy Polyakov]
5930
5931 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5932 [Stefan <[email protected]]
5933
5934 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5935 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5936 [Richard Levitte]
5937
5938 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5939 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5940 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5941 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5942 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5943 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Geoff Thorpe]
5944
5945 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5946 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5947 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5948 [Steve Henson]
5949
5950 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5951 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5952 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5953 - add new function for parameter creation
5954 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5955 BN_BLINDING parameters
5956 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5957 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5958 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5959 threads.
5960 [Nils Larsch]
5961
5962 *) Add support for DTLS.
5963 [Nagendra Modadugu <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
5964
5965 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5966 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5967 [Walter Goulet]
5968
5969 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5970 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5971 [Nils Larsch]
5972
5973 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5974 the apps/openssl applications.
5975 [Nils Larsch]
5976
5977 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5978 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5979 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5980 [Ben Laurie]
5981
5982 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5983 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5984
5985 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5986 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5987
5988 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5989 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5990 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5991 avoid this algorithm.)
5992
5993 [Bodo Moeller]
5994
5995 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5996 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5997 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5998 [Richard Levitte]
5999
6000 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
6001 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6002 [Andy Polyakov]
6003
6004 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6005 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6006 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6007 pod file:
6008
6009 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6010
6011 The blank line is mandatory.
6012
6013 [Steve Henson]
6014
6015 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6016 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6017 sources.
6018 [Steve Henson]
6019
6020 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6021 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6022
6023 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6024 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6025 to support policy checking and print out.
6026 [Steve Henson]
6027
6028 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6029 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6030 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6031 [Michal Ludvig <[email protected]>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6032
6033 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6034 [Geoff Thorpe]
6035
6036 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6037 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6038
6039 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6040 implementation contributed by IBM.
6041 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6042
6043 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6044 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6045 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6046 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6047
6048 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6049 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6050
6051 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6052 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6053 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6054 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6055 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6056 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6057 [Steve Henson]
6058
6059 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6060 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6061 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6062 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6063 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6064 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6065 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6066 [Geoff Thorpe]
6067
6068 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6069 [Steve Henson]
6070
6071 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6072 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6073 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6074 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6075 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6076 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6077 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6078 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6079 [Steve Henson]
6080
6081 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6082 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6083 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6084 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6085 [Steve Henson]
6086
6087 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6088 syntax:
6089
6090 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6091 [Steve Henson]
6092
6093 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6094 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6095 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6096 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6097 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6098 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6099 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6100 [Geoff Thorpe]
6101
6102 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6103 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6104 [Geoff Thorpe]
6105
6106 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6107 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6108 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6109 [Steve Henson]
6110
6111 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6112 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6113 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6114 below).
6115 [Geoff Thorpe]
6116
6117 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6118 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6119 [Richard Levitte]
6120
6121 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6122 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6123 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6124 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6125 [Geoff Thorpe]
6126
6127 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6128 initialised value as BN_new().
6129 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6130
6131 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6132 [Steve Henson]
6133
6134 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6135 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6136 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6137 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6138 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6139 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6140 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6141 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6142 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6143 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6144 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6145 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6146 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6147 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6148 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6149
6150 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6151 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6152 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6153 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6154 [Geoff Thorpe]
6155
6156 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6157 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6158 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6159 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6160 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6161 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6162 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6163 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6164 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6165 [Geoff Thorpe]
6166
6167 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6168 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6169 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6170 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6171 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6172 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6173 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6174 [Geoff Thorpe]
6175
6176 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6177 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6178 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6179 these have been updated also.
6180 [Geoff Thorpe]
6181
6182 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6183 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6184 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6185 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6186 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6187 functions.
6188 [Steve Henson]
6189
6190 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6191 structure of type "other".
6192 [Steve Henson]
6193
6194 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6195 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6196 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6197 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6198 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6199 situation in the script.
6200 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6201
6202 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6203 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6204 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6205 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6206 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6207 used as premaster secret.
6208 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6209
6210 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6211 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6212 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6213
6214 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6215 [Götz Babin-Ebell <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
6216
6217 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6218 control of the error stack.
6219 [Richard Levitte]
6220
6221 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6222 [Richard Levitte]
6223
6224 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6225 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6226 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6227 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6228 [Richard Levitte]
6229
6230 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6231 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6232 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6233 [Richard Levitte]
6234
6235 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6236 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6237 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6238 a memory area.
6239 [Richard Levitte]
6240
6241 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6242 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6243 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6244 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6245 [Richard Levitte]
6246
6247 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6248 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6249 the following flags are defined:
6250
6251 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6252 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6253 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6254 number.
6255
6256 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6257 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6258 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6259 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6260 returns zero.
6261 [Richard Levitte]
6262
6263 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6264 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6265 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6266 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6267 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6268 [Richard Levitte]
6269
6270 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6271 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6272 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6273 [Richard Levitte]
6274
6275 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6276 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6277 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6278 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6279 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6280 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6281 [Richard Levitte]
6282
6283 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6284 req and dirName.
6285 [Steve Henson]
6286
6287 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6288 [Steve Henson]
6289
6290 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6291 [Steve Henson]
6292
6293 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6294 [Steve Henson]
6295
6296 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6297 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6298 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6299 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6300 default implementation more easily.
6301 [Geoff Thorpe]
6302
6303 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6304 in config files.
6305 [Steve Henson]
6306
6307 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6308 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6309 [Richard Levitte]
6310
6311 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6312 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6313 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6314 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6315
6316 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6317 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6318 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6319 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6320 [Steve Henson]
6321
6322 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6323 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6324 to do it.
6325 [Richard Levitte]
6326
6327 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6328 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6329 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6330 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6331 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6332 scalar * generator).
6333 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6334
6335 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6336 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6337 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6338 correctly.
6339 [Steve Henson]
6340
6341 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6342 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6343 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6344 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6345 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6346 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6347 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6348 linker additions, eg;
6349 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6350 [Geoff Thorpe]
6351
6352 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6353 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6354 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6355 [Geoff Thorpe]
6356
6357 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6358 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6359 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <[email protected]>
6360 via PR#459)
6361 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6362
6363 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6364 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6365 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6366 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6367 [Geoff Thorpe]
6368
6369 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6370 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6371 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6372 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6373 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6374 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6375 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6376 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6377 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6378 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6379
6380 Example for using the new callback interface:
6381
6382 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6383 void *my_arg = ...;
6384 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6385
6386 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6387
6388 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6389 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6390 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6391 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6392 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6393 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6394 */
6395
6396 [Geoff Thorpe]
6397
6398 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6399 available to TLS with the number defined in
6400 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6401 [Richard Levitte]
6402
6403 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6404 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6405
6406 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6407 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6408 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6409 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6410
6411 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6412 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6413
6414 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6415 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6416 well.
6417 [Richard Levitte]
6418
6419 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6420 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6421 [Richard Levitte]
6422
6423 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6424 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6425 and a macro that behave like
6426 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6427
6428 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6429 [Nils Larsch]
6430
6431 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6432 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6433 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6434 if applicable.
6435 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6436
6437 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6438 [Bodo Moeller]
6439
6440 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6441 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6442 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6443 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6444 directory engines/.
6445 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6446 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6447 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6448 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6449 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6450 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6451 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6452 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6453
6454 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6455 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6456 [Richard Levitte]
6457
6458 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6459 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <[email protected]>]
6460
6461 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6462 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6463 files while avoiding the low level API.
6464
6465 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6466 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6467 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6468 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6469
6470 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6471 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6472 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6473 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6474 instead of the low level API.
6475 [Steve Henson]
6476
6477 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6478 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6479 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6480 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6481 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6482 PKCS#7 code.
6483
6484 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6485 down to the template encoder.
6486 [Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6489 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6490 [Bodo Moeller]
6491
6492 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6493 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6494 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6495 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6496
6497 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6498 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6499
6500 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6501 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6502
6503 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6504 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6505 [Bodo Moeller]
6506
6507 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6508 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6509 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6510 [Bodo Moeller]
6511
6512 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6513 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6514
6515 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6516 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6517
6518 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6519 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6520 New EC_METHOD:
6521
6522 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6523
6524 New API functions:
6525
6526 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6527 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6528 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6529 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6530 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6531 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6532
6533 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6534 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6535 enable it).
6536
6537 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6538 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6539 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6540 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6541 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6542 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6543 various internal method names.)
6544
6545 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6546 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6547
6548 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6549 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6550
6551 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6552 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6553
6554 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6555 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6556 methods are undefined.
6557
6558 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6559 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6560
6561 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6562 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6563 length of the modulus.
6564
6565 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6566 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6567
6568 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6569 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6570
6571 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6572 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6573
6574 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6575 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6576 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6577
6578 BN_GF2m_add
6579 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6580 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6581 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6582 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6583 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6584 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6585 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6586 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6587 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6588
6589 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6590 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6591
6592 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6593 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6594 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6595 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6596 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6597 where
6598 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6599 This applies to the following functions:
6600
6601 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6602 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6603 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6604 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6605 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6606 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6607 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6608 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6609 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6610 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6611
6612 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6613
6614 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6615 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6616
6617 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6618
6619 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6620 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6621 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6622 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6623 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6624
6625 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6626 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6627
6628 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6629 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6630 [Douglas Stebila <[email protected]>]
6631
6632 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6633 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6634
6635 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6636 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6637 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6638 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6639 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6640
6641 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6642 functions
6643 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6644 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6645 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6646 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6647 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6648 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6649 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6650 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6651 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6652 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6653 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6654 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6655
6656 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6657 functions
6658 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6659 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6660 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6661 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6662 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6663
6664 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6665 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6666 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6667 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6668
6669 *) Add functions
6670 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6671 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6672 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6673 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6674 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6675 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6676 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6677
6678 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6679 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6680 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6681 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6682 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6683 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6684 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6685 adding different types of curves.
6686 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6687
6688 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6689 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6690 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6691 [Bodo Moeller]
6692
6693 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6694 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6695
6696 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6697 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6698 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6699 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6700
6701 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6702
6703 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6704 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6705
6706 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6707 library. Most notably,
6708 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6709 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6710 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6711 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6712 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6713 extracted before the specific public key;
6714 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6715 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6716
6717 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6718 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6719 function
6720 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6721 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6722 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6723 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6724 accessed via
6725 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6726 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6727 [Nils Larsch <[email protected], Bodo Moeller]
6728
6729 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6730 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6731 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6732 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6733 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6734 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6735 differing sizes.
6736 [Richard Levitte]
6737
6738 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6739
6740 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6741 sensitive data.
6742 [Benjamin Bennett <[email protected]>]
6743
6744 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6745 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6746 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6747 [Bodo Moeller]
6748
6749 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6750 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6751 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6752 [Victor Duchovni]
6753
6754 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6755 [Steve Henson]
6756
6757 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6758 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6759 [Steve Henson]
6760
6761 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6762 run algorithm test programs.
6763 [Steve Henson]
6764
6765 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6766 [Steve Henson]
6767
6768 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6769 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6770 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6771 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6772 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6773 [Bodo Moeller]
6774
6775 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6776 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6777 [Steve Henson]
6778
6779 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6780
6781 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6782 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6783 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6784
6785 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6786 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6787
6788 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6789 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6790
6791 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6792 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6793 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6794
6795 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6796 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6797 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6798 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6799 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6800 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6801 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6802 [Bodo Moeller]
6803
6804 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6805
6806 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6807 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6808
6809 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6810 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6811 undesirable limitations.
6812 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6813
6814 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6815
6816 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6817 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6818 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6819
6820 The latter two were purportedly from
6821 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6822 appear there.
6823
6824 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6825 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6826 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6827 [Bodo Moeller]
6828
6829 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6830 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6831 [Bodo Moeller]
6832
6833 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6834
6835 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6836 module in FIPS mode.
6837 [Steve Henson]
6838
6839 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6840 [Steve Henson]
6841
6842 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6843 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6844 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6845 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6846 [Steve Henson]
6847
6848 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6849
6850 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6851 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6852 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6853 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6854 the difference induced by this change.
6855 [Andy Polyakov]
6856
6857 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6858
6859 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6860 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6861 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6862 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6863 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6864
6865 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6866 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6867 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6868
6869 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6870 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6871 [Steve Henson]
6872
6873 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6874 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6875 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6876 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6877 biased k.)
6878 [Bodo Moeller]
6879
6880 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6881 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6882 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6883 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6884 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6885
6886 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6887 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6888 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6889 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6890 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6891 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6892
6893 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6894
6895 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6896 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6897 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6898 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6899 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6900 [Bodo Moeller]
6901
6902 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6903 clients need.
6904 [Steve Henson]
6905
6906 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6907 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6908 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6909 [Steve Henson]
6910
6911 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6912 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6913 structures constant.
6914 [Steve Henson]
6915
6916 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6917
6918 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6919 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6920
6921 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6922 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6923 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6924 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6925 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6926 some needed definitions.
6927 [Steve Henson]
6928
6929 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6930 [Ulf Möller]
6931
6932 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6933 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6934 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6935 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6936 [Richard Levitte]
6937
6938 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6939
6940 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6941 server and client random values. Previously
6942 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6943 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6944
6945 This change has negligible security impact because:
6946
6947 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6948 data.
6949
6950 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6951 handshake.
6952
6953 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6954 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6955 values.
6956
6957 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6958 to our attention.
6959
6960 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6961
6962 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6963 [Ulf Möller]
6964
6965 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6966 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6967 [Darren Tucker <[email protected]> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6968
6969 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6970 [Steve Henson]
6971
6972 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6973 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6974 [Andy Polyakov]
6975
6976 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6977 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6978 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
6979
6980 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6981 [Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6984 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6985 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6986 certificates.
6987 [Steve Henson]
6988
6989 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6990 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6991 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6992 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6993
6994 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6995 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6996 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6997 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6998 been given)
6999 [Richard Levitte]
7000
7001 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7002
7003 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7004 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7005 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7006 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7007 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7008 [Steve Henson]
7009
7010 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7011 [Steve Henson]
7012
7013 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7014 [David Holmes <[email protected]>]
7015
7016 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7017 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7018 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7019 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7020 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7021 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7022 rather than being initialized to 1.
7023 [Steve Henson]
7024
7025 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7026
7027 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7028 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7029 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7030
7031 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7032 (CVE-2004-0112)
7033 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7034
7035 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7036 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7037 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7038 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7039 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7040 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7041 [Richard Levitte]
7042
7043 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7044 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7045 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7046 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7047 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7048 for these cases.
7049 [Steve Henson]
7050
7051 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7052 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7053 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7054 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7055 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7056 [Steve Henson]
7057
7058 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7059 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7060 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7061 < 0.9.7.
7062 [Steve Henson]
7063
7064 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7065 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
7066
7067 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7068 [Steve Henson]
7069
7070 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7071
7072 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7073
7074 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7075 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7076
7077 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7078
7079 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7080 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7081
7082 [Steve Henson]
7083
7084 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7085 exiting on the first error in a request.
7086 [Steve Henson]
7087
7088 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7089 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7090 specifications.
7091 [Steve Henson]
7092
7093 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7094 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7095 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7096 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7097
7098 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7099 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7100 [Richard Levitte]
7101
7102 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7103 blocks during encryption.
7104 [Richard Levitte]
7105
7106 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7107 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7108 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7109 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7110 certain size.
7111 [Steve Henson]
7112
7113 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7114 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7115 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7116 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7117 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7118 parser.
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7122
7123 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7124 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7125 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7126 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7127 [Bodo Moeller]
7128
7129 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7130 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7131 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7132 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7133 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7134
7135 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7136 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7137 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7138 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7139 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7140 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7141 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7142 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7143 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7144 [Bodo Moeller]
7145
7146 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7147 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7148 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7149 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7150 [Geoff Thorpe]
7151
7152 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7153 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7154 [Ulf Moeller]
7155
7156 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7157
7158 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7159 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7160 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7161 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7162 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7163
7164 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7165 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7166 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7167
7168 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7169 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7170 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7171 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7172 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7173
7174 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7175 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7176 used by default when no-err is given.
7177 [Richard Levitte]
7178
7179 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7180 [[email protected] via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7181
7182 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7183 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7184 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7185 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7186 [Kevin Greaney <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7187
7188 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7189 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7190 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7191 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7192
7193 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7194
7195 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7196
7197 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7198
7199 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7200 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7201 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7202 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7203 root is omitted).
7204 [Steve Henson]
7205
7206 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7207 [Steven Reddie <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7208
7209 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7210 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7211 [Steve Henson]
7212
7213 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7214 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7215 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <[email protected]>,
7216 Nils Larsch <[email protected]> via PR#459)
7217 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7218
7219 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7220 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7221 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7222 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7223 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7224 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <[email protected]> as
7225 followup to PR #377.
7226 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7227
7228 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7229 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7230 [Andy Polyakov]
7231
7232 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7233 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7234 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7235 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <[email protected]>]
7236
7237 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7238
7239 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7240 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7241
7242 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7243 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7244 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7245 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7246 client and server.
7247 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <[email protected]> as
7248 PR #377.
7249 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7250
7251 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7252 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7253 removed entirely.
7254 [Richard Levitte]
7255
7256 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7257 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7258 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7259 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7260 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7261 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7262 of libcrypto.
7263 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7264 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7265 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7266 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7267 have to be made anyway).
7268 [Richard Levitte]
7269
7270 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7271 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7272 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7273 [Steve Henson]
7274
7275 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7276 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7277 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7278 [Richard Levitte]
7279
7280 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7281 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7282 [Steven Reddie <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7283
7284 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7285 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7286 edit numbers of the version.
7287 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7288
7289 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7290 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7291 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7292
7293 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7294 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7295
7296 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7297 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7299
7300 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7301 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7302
7303 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7304 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7305
7306 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7307 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7308
7309 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7310 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7311
7312 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7313 overflows.
7314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7315
7316 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7317 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7318 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7319
7320 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7321 representations in a platform independent manner.
7322 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7323
7324 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7325 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7326 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7327
7328 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7329 indents.
7330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7331
7332 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7333 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7334
7335 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7336 full. Fixed.
7337 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7338
7339 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7340 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7341 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7342
7343 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7344 unconditionally).
7345 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7346
7347 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7348 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7349
7350 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7352
7353 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7354 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7355
7356 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7357 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7358
7359 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7360 CBCParameter.
7361 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7362
7363 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7364 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7365
7366 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7367 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7368
7369 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7370 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7371 exploitable.
7372 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7373
7374 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7375 the 0.9.6 release series:
7376
7377 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7378 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7379 (CVE-2002-0657)
7380 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7381
7382 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7383 [Richard Levitte]
7384
7385 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7386 [Michael Bell <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
7387
7388 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7389 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <[email protected]>]
7390
7391 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7392 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7393 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7394 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <[email protected]>]
7395
7396 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7397 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7398 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7399
7400 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7401 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7402 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7403 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7404
7405 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7406 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7407 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7408 some local tweaks:
7409
7410 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7411 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7412 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7413 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7414 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7415 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7416 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7417 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7418 done
7419
7420 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7421 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7422 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7423 [Richard Levitte]
7424
7425 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7426 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7427 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7428 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7429 [Götz Babin-Ebell <[email protected]>]
7430
7431 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7432 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <[email protected]>]
7433
7434 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7435 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7436 [Richard Levitte]
7437
7438 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7439 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7440 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7441 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7442 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7443 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7444 [Steve Henson]
7445
7446 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7447 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7448 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7449 [Steve Henson]
7450
7451 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7452 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <[email protected]>)
7453 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7454
7455 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7456 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7457 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7458 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7459 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7460 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7461 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <[email protected]>)
7462 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7463
7464 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7465 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7466 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7467 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7468 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7469 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7470 [Steve Henson]
7471
7472 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7473 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7474 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7475 declaration has been changed from
7476 int (*cb)()
7477 into
7478 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7479 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7480 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7481 has been changed into
7482 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7483
7484 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7485 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7486 [D. K. Smetters <[email protected]>]
7487
7488 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7489 [Maurice Gittens <[email protected]>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7490
7491 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7492 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7493 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7494 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7495 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7496 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7497 always load it have also been added.
7498 [Steve Henson]
7499
7500 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7501 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7502 [Stephen Sprunk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7503
7504 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7505
7506 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7507 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7508 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7509
7510 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7511 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7512 command line option can be used to specify an
7513 alternative file.
7514 [Steve Henson]
7515
7516 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7517 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7518 [Steve Henson]
7519
7520 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7521 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7522 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7523 [Steve Henson]
7524
7525 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7526 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7527 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7528 to work with the new engine framework.
7529 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7530
7531 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7532 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7533 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7534 to work with the new engine framework.
7535 [Richard Levitte]
7536
7537 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7538 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7539 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7540
7541 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7542 [Robert Dahlem <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7543
7544 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7545 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7546 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7547 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7548 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7549 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7550
7551 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7552 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7553
7554 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7555 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]>]
7556
7557 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7558 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7559 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7560 [Ben Laurie]
7561
7562 *) Add new functions
7563 ERR_peek_last_error
7564 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7565 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7566 These are similar to
7567 ERR_peek_error
7568 ERR_peek_error_line
7569 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7570 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7571 still in the error queue.
7572 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7573
7574 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7575 like:
7576 default_algorithms = ALL
7577 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7578 [Steve Henson]
7579
7580 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7581 [Steve Henson]
7582
7583 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7584 [Steve Henson]
7585
7586 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7587 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7588 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7589 [Stephen Sprunk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7590
7591 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7592 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7593
7594 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7595 [Massimiliano Pala [email protected]]
7596
7597 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7598 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7599 [Bodo Moeller]
7600
7601 *) New functions/macros
7602
7603 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7604 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7605 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7606 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7607
7608 to request calling a callback function
7609
7610 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7611 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7612
7613 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7614 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7615 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7616 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7617 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7618 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7619 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7620 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7621 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7622 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7623
7624 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7625 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7626 [Bodo Moeller]
7627
7628 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7629 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7630 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7631 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7632 the configuration scripts.
7633
7634 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7635 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7636 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7637
7638 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7639 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
7640
7641 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7642 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7643 when reusing an existing buffer.
7644 [Bodo Moeller]
7645
7646 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7647 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7648 [Steve Henson]
7649
7650 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7651 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7652 [Ben Laurie]
7653
7654 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7655 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7656 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7657 has the same effect.
7658 [Massimiliano Pala [email protected]]
7659
7660 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7661 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7662 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7663 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7664 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7665 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7666 exception.
7667
7668 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7669 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7670 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7671 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7672
7673 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7674 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7675 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7676 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7677
7678 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7679 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7680 won't work.
7681
7682 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7683 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7684 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7685 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7686 default), and then completely removed.
7687 [Richard Levitte]
7688
7689 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7690 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7691 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7692 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7693 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7694 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7695 particular extension is supported.
7696 [Steve Henson]
7697
7698 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7699 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7700 [Steve Henson]
7701
7702 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7703 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7704 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7705 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7706 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7707 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7708 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7709 requires the destination to be valid.
7710
7711 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7712 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7713 [Steve Henson]
7714
7715 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7716 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7717 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7718 [Bodo Moeller]
7719
7720 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7721 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7722
7723 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7724 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7725 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7726 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7727 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7728 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7729 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7730 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7731 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7732 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7733 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7734 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7735 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7736 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7737 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7738 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7739 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7740 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7741 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7742 the new code.
7743 [Geoff Thorpe]
7744
7745 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7746 [Steve Henson]
7747
7748 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7749 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7750 become part of libeay.num as well.
7751 [Richard Levitte]
7752
7753 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7754 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7755 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7756 false once a handshake has been completed.
7757 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7758 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7759 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7760 client has followed the request.)
7761 [Bodo Moeller]
7762
7763 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7764 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7765 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7766 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7767
7768 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7769 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7770 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7771 [Bodo Moeller]
7772
7773 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7774 [Steve Henson]
7775
7776 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7777 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7778 "Douglas E. Engert" <[email protected]>.
7779 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7780
7781 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7782 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <[email protected]>).
7783 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7784
7785 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7786 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7787 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7788 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7789 [Geoff Thorpe]
7790
7791 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7792 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7793 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7794 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7795 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7796 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7797 [Geoff Thorpe]
7798
7799 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7800 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7801 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7802 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7803 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7804 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7805 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7806 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7807 [Geoff Thorpe]
7808
7809 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7810 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7811 [Geoff Thorpe]
7812
7813 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7814 [Ben Laurie]
7815
7816 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7817 md_data void pointer.
7818 [Ben Laurie]
7819
7820 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7821 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7822 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7823 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7824 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7825 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7826 [Ben Laurie]
7827
7828 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7829 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7830 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7831 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7832 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7833 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7834 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7835 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7836 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7837 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7838 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7839 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7840 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7841 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7842 rather than letting it slide.
7843
7844 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7845 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7846 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7847 [Geoff Thorpe]
7848
7849 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7850 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7851 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7852 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7853 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7854 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7855 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7856 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7857 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7858 [Geoff Thorpe]
7859
7860 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7861 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7862 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7863 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7864 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7865
7866 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7867 [Geoff Thorpe]
7868
7869 *) Add EVP test program.
7870 [Ben Laurie]
7871
7872 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7873 [Ben Laurie]
7874
7875 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7876 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7877 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7878 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7879 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7880 [Steve Henson]
7881
7882 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7883 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7884 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7885 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7886 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7887 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7888 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7889
7890 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7891 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7892 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7893 Usage example:
7894
7895 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7896
7897 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7898 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7899 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7900 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7901 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7902
7903 [Ben Laurie]
7904
7905 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7906 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7907 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7908 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7909 anyway): E.g.,
7910
7911 des_key_schedule ks;
7912
7913 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7914 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7915
7916 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7917 [Ben Laurie]
7918
7919 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7920 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7921 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7922 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7923 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7924 functions prevents this.
7925 [Steve Henson]
7926
7927 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7928 [Ben Laurie]
7929
7930 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7931 correct _ecb suffix.
7932 [Ben Laurie]
7933
7934 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7935 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7936 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7937 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7938 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7939 [Steve Henson]
7940
7941 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7942 [Richard Levitte]
7943
7944 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7945 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7946 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <[email protected]>]
7947 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7948
7949 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7950 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7951
7952 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7953 [Vern Staats <[email protected]>,
7954 Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>
7955 via Richard Levitte]
7956
7957 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7958 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7959 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7960 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7961 [Geoff Thorpe]
7962
7963 *) Speed up EVP routines.

7979 [Ben Laurie]
7980
7981 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7982 ["Brian Havard" <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7983
7984 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7985 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7986 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7987 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7988 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7989 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7990 [Steve Henson]
7991
7992 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7993 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7994 [Richard Levitte]
7995
7996 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7997 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7998 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7999 [Verdon Walker <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
8000
8001 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8002 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8003 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8004 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8005 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8006 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8007 callback.
8008 [Richard Levitte]
8009
8010 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8011 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8012 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8013 and interrupts/cancellations.
8014 [Richard Levitte]
8015
8016 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8017 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8018 [Steve Henson]
8019
8020 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8021 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8022 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <[email protected]>]
8023
8024 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8025 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8026 kind of callback.
8027 [Richard Levitte]
8028
8029 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8030 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8031 than this minimum value is recommended.
8032 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8033
8034 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8035 that are easily reachable.
8036 [Richard Levitte]
8037
8038 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8039 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8040
8041 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8042
8043 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8044 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8045 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8046 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8047 [Steve Henson]
8048
8049 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8050 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8051 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8052 [Steve Henson]
8053
8054 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8055 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8056 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8057 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8058 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8059 internally such as S/MIME.
8060
8061 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8062 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8063 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8064
8065 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8066 applications.
8067 [Steve Henson]
8068
8069 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8070 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8071 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8072 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8073
8074 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8075
8076 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8077
8078 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8079 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8080 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8081 handling.
8082 [Steve Henson]
8083
8084 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8085 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8086 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8087 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8088 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8089 a window system and the like.
8090 [Richard Levitte]
8091
8092 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8093 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8094 [Geoff]
8095
8096 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8097 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8098 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8099 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8100 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8101 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8102 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8103 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8104 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8105 ENGINE structure.
8106 [Geoff]
8107
8108 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8109 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8110 tag cache.
8111 [Steve Henson]
8112
8113 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8114 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8115 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8116 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8117 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8118 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8119 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8120 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8121 [Geoff]
8122
8123 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8124 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8125 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8126 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8127 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8128 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8129 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8130 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8131 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8132 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8133 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8134 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8135 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8136 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8137 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8138 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8139 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8140 [Geoff]
8141
8142 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8143 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8144 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8145 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8146 internal engine_int.h header.
8147 [Geoff]
8148
8149 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8150 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8151 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8152 modify their own ones).
8153 [Geoff]
8154
8155 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8156 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8157 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8158 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8159 later on via ctrl() commands.
8160 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8161 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8162 structural references.
8163 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8164 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8165 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8166 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8167 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8168 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8169 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8170 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8171 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8172 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8173 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8174 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8175 [Geoff]
8176
8177 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8178 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8179 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8180 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8181 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8182 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8183 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8184 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8185 [Bodo Moeller]
8186
8187 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8188 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8189 [Steve Henson]
8190
8191 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8192 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8193 [Steve Henson]
8194
8195 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8196 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8197 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8198 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8199 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8200 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8201 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8202 [Steve Henson]
8203
8204 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8205 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8206 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8207 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8208 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8209
8210 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8211 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8212 generator).
8213 [Bodo Moeller]
8214
8215 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8216
8217 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8218 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8219 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8220
8221 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8222 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8223
8224 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8225 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8226 Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>]
8227
8228 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8229 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8230
8231 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8232 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8233
8234 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8235
8236 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8237 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8238 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8239 [Bodo Moeller]
8240
8241 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8242 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8243 [Richard Levitte]
8244
8245 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8246 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8247 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8248 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8249 is 40 of more characters long.
8250 [Steve Henson]
8251
8252 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8253 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8254 pointers.
8255 [Steve Henson]
8256
8257 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8258 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8259 [Bodo Moeller]
8260
8261 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8262 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8263 might.
8264 [Steve Henson]
8265
8266 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8267
8268 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8269 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8270
8271 ASN1 error codes
8272 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8273 ...
8274 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8275 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8276 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8277 ...
8278 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8279 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8280
8281 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8282 [Bodo Moeller]
8283
8284 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8285 suffices.
8286 [Bodo Moeller]
8287
8288 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8289 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8290 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8291 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8292 and
8293 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8294
8295 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8296 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8297
8298 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8299 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8300 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8301 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8302 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8303 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8304
8305 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8306 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8307
8308 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8309 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8310
8311 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8312 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8313
8314 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8315 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8316 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8317 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8318
8319 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8320 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8321
8322 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8323 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8324
8325 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8326 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8327 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8328 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8329 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8330 [Richard Levitte]
8331
8332 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8333 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8334 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8335 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8336 [Steve Henson]
8337
8338 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8339 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8340 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8341 trust settings.
8342 [Steve Henson]
8343
8344 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8345 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8346 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8347 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8348 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8349 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8350 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8351 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8352 ocsp utility.
8353 [Steve Henson]
8354
8355 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8356 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8357 [Steve Henson]
8358
8359 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8360 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8361 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8362 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8363 [Steve Henson]
8364
8365 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8366 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8367 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8368 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8369 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8370 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8371 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8372 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8373 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8374 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8375 [Steve Henson]
8376
8377 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8378 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8379 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8380 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8381 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8382 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8383 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8384 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8385
8386 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8387 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8388 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8389 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8390 [Richard Levitte]
8391
8392 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8393 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8394 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8395 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8396 opensslconf.h.
8397 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8398 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8399 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8400 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8401 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8402 what is available.
8403 [Richard Levitte]
8404
8405 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8406 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8407 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8408 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8409 auto incremented.
8410 [Steve Henson]
8411
8412 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8413 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8414 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8415 [Steve Henson]
8416
8417 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8418 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8419 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8420 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8421 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8422 [Steve Henson]
8423
8424 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8425 [Steve Henson]
8426
8427 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8428 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8429 option to ocsp utility.
8430 [Steve Henson]
8431
8432 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8433 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8434 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8435 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8436 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8437 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8438 the request is nonce-less.
8439 [Steve Henson]
8440
8441 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8442 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8443 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8444 [Bodo Moeller]
8445
8446 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8447 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8448 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8449 [Steve Henson]
8450
8451 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8452 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8453 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8454 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8455 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8456 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8457
8458 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8459 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8460 appear to exist.
8461 [Steve Henson]
8462
8463 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8464 additional certificates supplied.
8465 [Steve Henson]
8466
8467 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8468 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8469 signature against.
8470 [Richard Levitte]
8471
8472 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8473 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8474 AES OIDs.
8475
8476 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8477 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8478 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8479 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8480 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8481 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8482 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8483 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8484 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8485
8486 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8487 request to response.
8488 [Steve Henson]
8489
8490 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8491 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8492 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8493 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8494 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8495 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8496 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8497 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8498 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8499 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8500 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8501 [Steve Henson]
8502
8503 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8504 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8505 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8506 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8507 [Steve Henson]
8508
8509 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8510 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8511
8512 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8513 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8514 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8515 [Steve Henson]
8516
8517 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8518 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8519 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8520 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8521 <[email protected]>]
8522
8523 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8524 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8525 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8526 [Steve Henson]
8527
8528 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8529 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8530 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8531 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8532 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8533 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8534 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8535 <[email protected]>]
8536
8537 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8538 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8539 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8540 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8541 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8542 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8543 [Steve Henson]
8544
8545 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8546 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8547 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8548 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8549 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8550 printout format cleaned up.
8551 [Steve Henson]
8552
8553 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8554 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8555 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8556 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8557 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8558 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8559 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8560 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8561 [Steve Henson]
8562
8563 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8564 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8565 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8566 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8567 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8568 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8569 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8570 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8571 [Steve Henson]
8572
8573 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8574 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8575 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8576 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8577 section to use.
8578 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8579
8580 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8581 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8582 parsed, outputted or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8583 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8584 [Steve Henson]
8585
8586 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8587 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8588 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8589 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8590 in the index file.
8591 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8592
8593 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8594 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8595 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8596 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>]
8597
8598 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8599 [Jonathan Bartlett <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
8600
8601 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8602 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8603 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8604 [Steve Henson]
8605
8606 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8607 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8608 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8609 [Bodo Moeller]
8610
8611 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8612 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8613 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8614 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8615 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8616 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8617 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8618 functions are provided:
8619
8620 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8621 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8622 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8623 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8624
8625 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8626 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8627 extended allocation function is enabled.
8628 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8629 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8630 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8631
8632 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8633 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8634 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8635 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8636 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8637 [Geoff Thorpe]
8638
8639 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8640 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8641 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8642 be queried.
8643 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8644 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8645 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8646 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8647
8648 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8649 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8650 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8651 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8652 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8653 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8654 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8655 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8656 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8657 [Richard Levitte]
8658
8659 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8660 provide utility functions which an application needing
8661 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8662 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8663 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8664
8665 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8666 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8667 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8668 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8669 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8670 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8671 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8672 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8673 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8674
8675 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8676 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8677 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8678 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8679 [Steve Henson]
8680
8681 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8682 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8683 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8684 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8685 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8686 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8687 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8688 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8689 will be added elsewhere.
8690 [Steve Henson]
8691
8692 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8693 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8694 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8695 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8696 [Steve Henson]
8697
8698 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8699 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8700 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8701 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8702 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8703 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8704 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8705 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8706 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8707 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8708 to produce the required SET OF.
8709 [Steve Henson]
8710
8711 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8712 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8713 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8714 [Richard Levitte]
8715
8716 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8717 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8718 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8719 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8720 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8721 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8722 [Steve Henson]
8723
8724 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8725 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8726 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8727 [Steve Henson]
8728
8729 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8730 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8731 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8732 [Richard Levitte]
8733
8734 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8735 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8736 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8737 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8738 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8739 [Steve Henson]
8740
8741 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8742 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8743 [Steve Henson]
8744
8745 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8746 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8747 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8748 certificates and CRLs.
8749 [Steve Henson]
8750
8751 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8752 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8753 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8754 [Steve Henson]
8755
8756 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8757 entries for variables.
8758 [Steve Henson]
8759
8760 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8761 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8762 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8763 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8764 [Bodo Moeller]
8765
8766 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8767 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8768 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8769 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8770 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8771 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8772 [Bodo Moeller]
8773
8774 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8775 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8776
8777 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8778 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8779 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8780 [Steve Henson]
8781
8782 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8783 print routines.
8784 [Steve Henson]
8785
8786 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8787 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8788 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8789 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8790 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8791 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8792 [Steve Henson]
8793
8794 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8795 [Steve Henson]
8796
8797 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8798 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8799 for now but they will eventually go away.
8800 [Steve Henson]
8801
8802 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8803 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8804 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8805 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8806 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8807 has also been converted to the new form.
8808 [Steve Henson]
8809
8810 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8811 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8812 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8813 for negative moduli.
8814 [Bodo Moeller]
8815
8816 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8817 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8818 [Bodo Moeller]
8819
8820 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8821 set.
8822 [Bodo Moeller]
8823
8824 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8825 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8826 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8827 type-specific callbacks.
8828 [Geoff Thorpe]
8829
8830 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8831 RFC 2712.
8832 [Veers Staats <[email protected]>,
8833 Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>, via Richard Levitte]
8834
8835 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8836 in sections depending on the subject.
8837 [Richard Levitte]
8838
8839 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8840 Windows.
8841 [Richard Levitte]
8842
8843 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8844 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8845 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8846 be handled deterministically).
8847 [Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
8848
8849 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8850 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8851 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8852 [Bodo Moeller]
8853
8854 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8855 [Bodo Moeller]
8856
8857 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8858 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8859 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8860 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8861 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8862 [Bodo Moeller]
8863
8864 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8865 sign of the number in question.
8866
8867 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8868
8869 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8870 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8871 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8872 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8873 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8874 [Bodo Moeller]
8875
8876 *) New function BN_swap.
8877 [Bodo Moeller]
8878
8879 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8880 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8881 results on negative inputs.
8882 [Bodo Moeller]
8883
8884 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8885 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8886 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8887 [Bodo Moeller]
8888
8889 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8890 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8891 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8892 and add new functions:
8893
8894 BN_nnmod
8895 BN_mod_sqr
8896 BN_mod_add
8897 BN_mod_add_quick
8898 BN_mod_sub
8899 BN_mod_sub_quick
8900 BN_mod_lshift1
8901 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8902 BN_mod_lshift
8903 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8904
8905 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8906
8907 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8908 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8909
8910 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8911 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8912 be reduced modulo m.
8913 [Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
8914
8915#if 0
8916 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8917 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8918 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8919
8920 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8921 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8922 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8923 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8924 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8925 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8926 differing sizes.
8927 [Richard Levitte]
8928#endif
8929
8930 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8931 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8932 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8933 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8934 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8935
8936 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8937 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8938 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8939 cause any problems.
8940 [Bodo Moeller]
8941
8942 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8943 [Richard Levitte]
8944
8945 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8946 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8947 [Richard Levitte]
8948
8949 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8950 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8951 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8952 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8953 time)
8954 [Richard Levitte]
8955
8956 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8957 [Richard Levitte]
8958
8959 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8960 [Richard Levitte]
8961
8962 *) Add the following functions:
8963
8964 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8965 ENGINE_load_chil()
8966 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8967 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8968 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8969
8970 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8971 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8972 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8973 libraries unless it's really needed.
8974
8975 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8976 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8977 declarations (they differed!).
8978 [Richard Levitte]
8979
8980 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8981 [Richard Levitte]
8982
8983 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8984 [Richard Levitte]
8985
8986 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8987 [Bodo Moeller]
8988
8989 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8990 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8991 [Richard Levitte]
8992
8993 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8994 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8995 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>]
8996
8997 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8998 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8999 [Richard Levitte]
9000
9001 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9002 [Richard Levitte]
9003
9004 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9005 [Richard Levitte]
9006
9007 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9008 [Ben Laurie]
9009
9010 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9011 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9012 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9013
9014 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9015 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9016 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9017 different shared library filenames on each system.
9018 [Geoff Thorpe]
9019
9020 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9021 [Richard Levitte]
9022
9023 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9024 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9025 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9026 of two sections.
9027 [Bernd Matthes <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
9028
9029 *) NCONF changes.
9030 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9031 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9032 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9033 binary backward compatibility.
9034 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9035 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9036 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9037 LDAP server.
9038 [Richard Levitte]
9039
9040 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9041 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9042 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9043 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9044 this case.
9045 [Steve Henson]
9046
9047 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9048 [Ben Laurie]
9049
9050 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9051 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9052 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9053 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9054 set.
9055 [Steve Henson]
9056
9057 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9058 [Richard Levitte]
9059
9060 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9061
9062 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9063 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9064 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9065
9066 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9067
9068 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9069
9070 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9071 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9072 [Steve Henson]
9073
9074 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9075
9076 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9077
9078 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9079 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9080
9081 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9082 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9083
9084 [Steve Henson]
9085
9086 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9087 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9088 specifications.
9089 [Steve Henson]
9090
9091 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9092 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9093 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9094 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9095
9096 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9097 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9098 [Richard Levitte]
9099
9100 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9101
9102 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9103 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9104 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9105 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9106 [Bodo Moeller]
9107
9108 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9109 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9110 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9111 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9112 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9113
9114 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9115 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9116 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9117 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9118 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9119 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9120 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9121 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9122 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9123 [Bodo Moeller]
9124
9125 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9126
9127 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9128 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9129 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9130 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9131 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9132
9133 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9134 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9135 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9136
9137 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9138
9139 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9140 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9141 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9142 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9143 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9144 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9145 [Geoff Thorpe]
9146
9147 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9148 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9149 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9150 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9151 (Found by Steve Haslam <[email protected]>.)
9152 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9153
9154 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9155 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9156 [Zeev Lieber <[email protected]>]
9157
9158 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9159 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9160 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9161 EVP_cleanup().
9162 [Richard Levitte]
9163
9164 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9165 being properly terminated.
9166 [Richard Levitte]
9167
9168 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9169 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9170 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9171 [[email protected] via Richard Levitte]
9172
9173 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9174 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9175 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9176 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9177 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9178 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9179 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9180 change.
9181 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9182
9183 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9184 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9185 [Bodo Moeller]
9186
9187 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9188 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9189 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9190 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9191 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9192 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9193 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9194 [Patrick McCormick <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
9195
9196 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9197 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9198 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <[email protected]>
9199 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9200 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9201
9202 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9203 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9204 [Steve Henson]
9205
9206 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9207
9208 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9209 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9210 [Lynn Gazis <[email protected]>]
9211
9212 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9213
9214 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9215 and get fix the header length calculation.
9216 [Florian Weimer <[email protected]>,
9217 Alon Kantor <[email protected]> (and others),
9218 Steve Henson]
9219
9220 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9221 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9222 assertions could call abort()).
9223 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
9224
9225 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9226
9227 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9228 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9229 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9230 supplied buffer.
9231 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <[email protected]>, James Yonan <[email protected]>]
9232
9233 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9234 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9235 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9236 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9237
9238 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9239 [Nils Larsch]
9240
9241 *) New option
9242 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9243 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9244 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9245
9246 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9247 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9248 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9249 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9250 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9251 applications.
9252 [Bodo Moeller]
9253
9254 *) Changes in security patch:
9255
9256 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9257 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9258 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9259 F30602-01-2-0537.
9260
9261 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9262 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9263 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9264 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9265 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <[email protected]>, James Yonan <[email protected]>]
9266
9267 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9268 happen in practice.
9269 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9270
9271 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9272 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9273 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9274
9275 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9276 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9278
9279 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9280 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9282
9283 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9284
9285 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9286 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9287 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9288
9289 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9290 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
9291
9292 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9293 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9294 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9295 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9296 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9297 <[email protected]> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9298 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9299
9300 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9301 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9302 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9303 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9304 [Bodo Moeller]
9305
9306 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9307 [Bodo Moeller]
9308
9309 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9310 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9311 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9312 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9313 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9314 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
9315
9316 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9317 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9318 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9319 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9320 <[email protected]>).
9321 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9322
9323 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9324 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9325 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9326 BN_generate_prime().)
9327
9328 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9329 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9330 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9331 better.
9332 [Bodo Moeller]
9333
9334 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9335 Tom Wu <[email protected]>.
9336 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9337
9338 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9339 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9340 when using non-blocking I/O.
9341 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9342
9343 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9344 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9345
9346 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9347 Yoram Zahavi <[email protected]>).
9348 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9349
9350 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9351 configuration for the versions before that.
9352 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
9353
9354 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9355 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9356 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9357 <[email protected]>.
9358 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9359
9360 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9361 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9362 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <[email protected]>.
9363 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9364
9365 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9366 value is 0.
9367 [Richard Levitte]
9368
9369 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9370 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9371 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9372
9373 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9374 [Neale Ferguson <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9375
9376 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9377 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9378 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9379 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9380 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9381 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9382 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9383 session cache.
9384
9385 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9386 using a local variable.
9387 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9388
9389 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9390 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9391 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9392
9393 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9394 [Richard Levitte]
9395
9396 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9397 ["Dan S. Camper" <[email protected]>]
9398
9399 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9400 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9401 [D P Chang <[email protected]>]
9402
9403 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9404
9405 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9406 <[email protected]>. (The previous implementation
9407 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9408 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9409 [Bodo Moeller]
9410
9411 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9412 present.
9413 [Steve Henson]
9414
9415 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9416 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9417 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9418 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9419 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9420
9421 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9422 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9423 [Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9424
9425 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9426 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9427 [Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9428
9429 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9430 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9431 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9432 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9433
9434 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9435 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9436 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9437 modules).
9438 [Richard Shapiro <[email protected]>]
9439
9440 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9441 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9442 from 0.9.7.
9443 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <[email protected]>, Mark Cox]
9444
9445 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9446 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9447 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9448 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9449
9450 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9451 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9452 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9453 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9454
9455 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9456 [Gary Benson <[email protected]>]
9457
9458 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9459 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9460 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9461 [Bodo Moeller]
9462
9463 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9464 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9465 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9466 become invalid.
9467 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <[email protected]>
9468
9469 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9470 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9471 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9472 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9473 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9474 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9475 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9476 [Bodo Moeller]
9477
9478 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9479 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9480 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9481 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9482
9483 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9484 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9485 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9486 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9487 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9488 the client will at least see that alert.
9489 [Bodo Moeller]
9490
9491 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9492 correctly.
9493 [Bodo Moeller]
9494
9495 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9496 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9497 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9498
9499 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9500 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9501 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9502 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9503 HelloRequest.
9504
9505 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9506 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9507 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <[email protected]>]
9508
9509 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9510 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9511 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9512 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9513 may leak via logfiles.)
9514
9515 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9516 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9517 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9518 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9519 the legal range.
9520 [Bodo Moeller]
9521
9522 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9523 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <[email protected]>).
9524 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9525
9526 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9527 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9528 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9529 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9530 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9531 [Bodo Moeller]
9532
9533 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9534 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <[email protected]>]
9535
9536 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9537 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9538 followed by modular reduction.
9539 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <[email protected]>]
9540
9541 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9542 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9543 [Bodo Moeller]
9544
9545 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9546 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9547 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9548 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <[email protected]>.)
9549 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9550
9551 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9552 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9553
9554 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9555 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <[email protected]>).
9556 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9557
9558 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9559 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9560 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9561 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9562 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9563 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9564 automatically.
9565 [Tim Mooney <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9566
9567 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9568 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9569 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9570 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9571 [Petr Lampa <[email protected]>]
9572
9573 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9574 [Andy Polyakov]
9575
9576 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9577 specifically for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9578 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9579 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9580 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9581 to allow the necessary settings.
9582 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9583
9584 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9585 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9586 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9587 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9588 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9589
9590 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9591 dh->length and always used
9592
9593 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9594
9595 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9596 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9597 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9598 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9599 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9600 dh->length.
9601
9602 So switch back to
9603
9604 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9605
9606 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9607 otherwise.
9608 [Bodo Moeller]
9609
9610 *) In
9611
9612 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9613 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9614 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9615 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9616
9617 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9618 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9619 always reject numbers >= n.
9620 [Bodo Moeller]
9621
9622 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9623 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9624 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9625 variable) is not atomic.
9626 [Bodo Moeller]
9627
9628 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9629 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9630 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9631 [Travis Vitek <[email protected]>]
9632
9633 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9634 [Albert Chin-A-Young <[email protected]>]
9635
9636 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9637 little-endian MIPS.
9638 [Ralf Baechle <[email protected]>]
9639
9640 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9641 [Richard Levitte]
9642
9643 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9644
9645 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9646 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9647 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <[email protected]>:
9648 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9649 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9650 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9651 to traverse all of 'state'.
9652
9653 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9654 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9655 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9656
9657 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9658 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9659
9660 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9661 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9662 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9663 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9664 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9665 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9666 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9667 further strengthens the PRNG.
9668 [Bodo Moeller]
9669
9670 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9671 [Andy Polyakov]
9672
9673 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9674 an error message in this case.
9675 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9676
9677 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9678 [Steve Henson]
9679
9680 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9681 positive and less than q.
9682 [Bodo Moeller]
9683
9684 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9685 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9686 that itself.
9687 [Paul Rose <[email protected]>]
9688
9689 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9690 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9691 [Bodo Moeller]
9692
9693 *) Fix OAEP check.
9694 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9695
9696 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9697 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9698 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9699 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9700 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9701 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9702 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9703 paper.)
9704
9705 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9706 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9707 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9708 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9709
9710 Both problems are now fixed.
9711 [Bodo Moeller]
9712
9713 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9714 (previously it was 1024).
9715 [Bodo Moeller]
9716
9717 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9718 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9719 [Steve Henson]
9720
9721 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9722 [Steve Henson]
9723
9724 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9725 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9726 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9727 [Steve Henson]
9728
9729 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9730 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9731 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9732 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9733 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9734 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9735 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9736 environment variables.
9737
9738 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9739 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9740 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9741 [Bodo Moeller]
9742
9743 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9744 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9745 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9746 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9747 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9748 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9749 [Bodo Moeller]
9750
9751 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9752 versions of 'test'.
9753 [Bodo Moeller]
9754
9755 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9756
9757 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9758 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <[email protected]>]
9759
9760 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9761 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9762 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9763 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9764 CygWin.
9765 [Richard Levitte]
9766
9767 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9768 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9769 amount of data available.
9770 [Steve Henson, reported by [email protected]]
9771 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9772
9773 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9774 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9775 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9776 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9777 [Bodo Moeller]
9778
9779 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9780 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9781 and UnixWare.
9782 [Richard Levitte]
9783
9784 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9785 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9786 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9787 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9788 [Ulf Moeller]
9789
9790 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9791 [Andy Polyakov]
9792
9793 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9794 [Richard Levitte]
9795
9796 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9797 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9798 [Steve Henson]
9799 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9800
9801 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9802 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9803 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9804 (but broken) behaviour.
9805 [Steve Henson]
9806
9807 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9808 it when found.
9809 [Tim Rice <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9810
9811 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9812 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9813 [Bodo Moeller]
9814
9815 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9816 did not exist.
9817 [Bodo Moeller]
9818
9819 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9820 [Jeremy Cooper <[email protected]>]
9821
9822 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9823 [Richard Levitte]
9824
9825 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9826 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9827 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
9828
9829 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9830 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9831 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9832 [Steve Henson]
9833
9834 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9835 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9836 [Ulf Moeller]
9837
9838 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9839 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9840
9841 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9842
9843 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9844
9845 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9846 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9847 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9848 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9849 [Bodo Moeller]
9850
9851 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9852 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9853
9854 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9855 [Kurt Hockenbury <[email protected]> and
9856 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <[email protected]>]
9857
9858 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9859 was empty.
9860 [Steve Henson]
9861 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9862
9863 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9864 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9865 but the code is actually correct.
9866 [Steve Henson]
9867
9868 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9869 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9870 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9871 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9872 and leaves the highest bit random.
9873 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9874
9875 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9876 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9877 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9878 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9879 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9880 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9881 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9882 [Bodo Moeller]
9883
9884 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9885 [Ulf Moeller]
9886
9887 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9888 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9889 [Steve Henson]
9890
9891 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9892 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9893 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9894 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9895 headers.
9896 [Richard Levitte]
9897
9898 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9899 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9900 and break the signature.
9901 [Steve Henson]
9902 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9903
9904 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9905 DH ciphersuites.
9906 [Steve Henson]
9907
9908 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9909 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9910 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9911 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9912 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9913 [Bodo Moeller]
9914
9915 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9916 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <[email protected]>]
9917
9918 *) ./config script fixes.
9919 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9920
9921 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9922 [Bodo Moeller]
9923
9924 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9925 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9926 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9927 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9928 [Steve Henson, reported by <[email protected]>]
9929
9930 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9931 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9932 [Bodo Moeller]
9933
9934 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9935 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9936 [Steve Henson]
9937
9938 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9939 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9940 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9941 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <[email protected]>]
9942
9943 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9944 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9945
9946 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9947 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9948 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9949 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9950 "Reddie, Steven" <[email protected]>]
9951
9952 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9953 [Bodo Moeller]
9954
9955 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9956 [Ulf Möller]
9957
9958 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9959 [Ulf Möller]
9960
9961 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9962 [Bodo Moeller]
9963
9964 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9965 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9966 [Bodo Moeller]
9967
9968 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9969 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9970 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9971 result of the server certificate verification.)
9972 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9973
9974 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9975 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9976 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9977 [Bodo Moeller]
9978
9979 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9980 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9981 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9982 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9983 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9984 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9985 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9986 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9987 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9988 [Bodo Moeller]
9989
9990 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9991 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9992 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9993 happening the other way round.
9994 [Geoff Thorpe]
9995
9996 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9997 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9998 [Bodo Moeller]
9999
10000 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10001 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10002 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10003 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10004 [Richard Levitte]
10005
10006 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10007 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <[email protected]>]
10008
10009 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10010
10011 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10012 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10013 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10014 that.
10015
10016 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10017
10018 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10019
10020 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10021 static ones.
10022 [Richard Levitte]
10023
10024 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10025
10026 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10027 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10028 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10029 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10030 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <[email protected]>]
10031
10032 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10033 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10034 matter what.
10035 [Richard Levitte]
10036
10037 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10038 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10039
10040 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10041
10042 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10043 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10044 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10045 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10046 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10047 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10048 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10049 by the Finished messages.
10050 [Bodo Moeller]
10051
10052 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10053 [Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>]
10054
10055 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10056 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10057 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10058 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10059 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10060 appropriately.
10061 [Steve Henson]
10062
10063 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10064 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10065 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10066 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10067 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10068 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10069 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10070 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10071 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10072 together.
10073 [Steve Henson]
10074
10075 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10076 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10077 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10078 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10079
10080 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10081 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10082 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10083 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10084 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10085 the answer.
10086
10087 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10088 been tested well enough.
10089 [Richard Levitte]
10090
10091 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10092 it can return incorrect results.
10093 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10094 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10095 [Bodo Moeller]
10096
10097 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10098 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10099 include zero length content when signing messages.
10100 [Steve Henson]
10101
10102 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10103 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10104 [Bodo Möller]
10105
10106 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10107 [Richard Levitte]
10108
10109 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10110 wrong sign.
10111 [Ulf Möller]
10112
10113 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10114 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10115 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10116 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10117 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10118 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <[email protected]>.
10119 [Richard Levitte]
10120
10121 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10122 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]>]
10123
10124 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10125 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <[email protected]>]
10126
10127 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10128 random number < q in the DSA library.
10129 [Ulf Möller]
10130
10131 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10132 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10133 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10134 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10135 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10136 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10137 just makes things more complicated.)
10138 [Bodo Moeller]
10139
10140 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10141 from EGD.
10142 [Ben Laurie]
10143
10144 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10145 work better on such systems.
10146 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
10147
10148 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10149 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10150 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10151 [Steve Henson]
10152
10153 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10154 if there was more than one signature.
10155 [Sven Uszpelkat <[email protected]>]
10156
10157 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10158 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10159 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10160 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10161 [Richard Levitte]
10162
10163 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10164 rather than always using the current time.
10165 [Steve Henson]
10166
10167 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10168 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10169 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10170 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10171 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10172 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10173
10174 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10175 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10176
10177 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10178
10179 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10180 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10181 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10182 the same hash value.
10183
10184 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10185 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10186 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10187 with X509_STORE internally.
10188
10189 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10190 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10191
10192 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10193 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10194 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10195 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10196 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10197 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10198 entirely (maybe later...).
10199
10200 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10201
10202 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10203 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10204 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10205 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10206 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10207 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10208 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10209 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10210
10211 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10212 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10213
10214 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10215 to customise the verify behaviour.
10216 [Steve Henson]
10217
10218 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10219 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10220 [Steve Henson]
10221
10222 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10223 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10224 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10225 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10226 request is improperly encoded.
10227 [Steve Henson]
10228
10229 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10230 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10231 BIO_write(b, ...).
10232
10233 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10234 [[email protected]]
10235
10236 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10237 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10238 words set to zero.)
10239 [Bodo Moeller]
10240
10241 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10242 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10243 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10244 [Bodo Moeller]
10245
10246 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10247 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10248 BIO/fp routines also added.
10249 [Steve Henson]
10250
10251 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10252 [Andreas Schneider <[email protected]>]
10253
10254 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10255 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10256 demos/state_machine.
10257 [Ben Laurie]
10258
10259 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10260 generation and verification.
10261 [Steve Henson]
10262
10263 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10264 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10265 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10266 encode and decode it manually.
10267 [Steve Henson]
10268
10269 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10270 compile under VC++.
10271 [Oscar Jacobsson <[email protected]>]
10272
10273 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10274 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10275 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10276 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <[email protected]>]
10277
10278 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10279 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10280 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10281 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10282 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10283 [Steve Henson]
10284
10285 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10286 [Richard Levitte]
10287
10288 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10289 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10290 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10291
10292 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10293 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10294 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10295 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10296 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10297 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10298 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10299 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10300
10301 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10302 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10303
10304 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10305
10306 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10307 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10308 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10309
10310 [Richard Levitte]
10311
10312 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10313 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10314 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10315 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10316 [Richard Levitte]
10317
10318 *) MD4 implemented.
10319 [Assar Westerlund <[email protected]>, Richard Levitte]
10320
10321 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10322 [Richard Levitte]
10323
10324 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10325 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10326 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10327 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10328 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10329 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10330 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10331 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10332 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10333 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10334 short or long names are found.
10335 [Steve Henson]
10336
10337 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10338 [Scott Uroff <[email protected]>]
10339
10340 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10341 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10342 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10343 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10344
10345 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10346 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10347 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10348 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10349 [Bodo Moeller]
10350
10351 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10352 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10353 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10354 [Richard Levitte]
10355
10356 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10357 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10358 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10359 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10360 to allow the various flags to be set.
10361 [Steve Henson]
10362
10363 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10364 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10365 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10366 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10367 dates to be checked.
10368 [Steve Henson]
10369
10370 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10371 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10372 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10373 [Steve Henson]
10374
10375 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10376 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10377 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10378 [Steve Henson]
10379
10380 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10381 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10382 [Bodo Moeller]
10383
10384 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10385 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10386 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10387 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10388 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10389 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10390 [Richard Levitte]
10391
10392 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10393 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10394 Random Numbers.
10395 [Ulf Möller]
10396
10397 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10398 DSA key.
10399 [Steve Henson]
10400
10401 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10402 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10403 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10404 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10405 form signing output easier to verify.
10406 [Steve Henson]
10407
10408 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10409 [Steve Henson]
10410
10411 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10412 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10413 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10414 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10415 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10416 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10417 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10418 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10419 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10420 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10421 [Steve Henson]
10422
10423 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10424
10425 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10426 the syntax given in objects.README.
10427 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10428 obj_mac.h.
10429 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10430 obj_mac.h.
10431
10432 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10433 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10434 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10435 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10436 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10437 consistent name changes.
10438 [Richard Levitte]
10439
10440 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10441 [Bodo Moeller]
10442
10443 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10444 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10445 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10446 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10447 [Richard Levitte]
10448
10449 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10450 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10451 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10452 of safestack.h .
10453 [Steve Henson]
10454
10455 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10456 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10457 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10458 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10459 [Steve Henson]
10460
10461 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10462 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10463 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10464 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10465 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10466 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10467 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10468 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10469 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10470 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10471 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10472 [Steve Henson]
10473
10474 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10475 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10476 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10477 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10478 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10479 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10480 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10481 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10482 Adrian Peck <[email protected]> for posting details of the modified
10483 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10484 [Steve Henson]
10485
10486 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10487 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10488 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10489 [Phillip Porch <[email protected]>]
10490
10491 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10492 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10493 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10494 omit any duplicate addresses.
10495 [Steve Henson]
10496
10497 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10498 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10499 [Bodo Moeller]
10500
10501 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10502 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10503 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10504 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10505 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10506 [Bodo Moeller]
10507
10508 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10509 software:
10510 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10511 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10512 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10513 Free => OPENSSL_free
10514 [Richard Levitte]
10515
10516 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10517 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10518 [Bodo Moeller]
10519
10520 *) CygWin32 support.
10521 [John Jarvie <[email protected]>]
10522
10523 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10524 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10525 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10526 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10527 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10528 approach.
10529 [Geoff Thorpe]
10530
10531 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10532 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10533 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10534 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10535 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10536 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10537 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10538 [Geoff Thorpe]
10539
10540 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10541 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10542 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10543 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10544 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10545 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10546 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10547 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10548 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10549 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10550 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10551 [Bodo Moeller]
10552
10553 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10554 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10555 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10556 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10557 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10558
10559 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10560 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10561 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10562 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10563 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10564
10565 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10566 ciphers.
10567
10568 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10569 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10570 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10571 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10572
10573 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10574
10575 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10576 of macros.
10577
10578 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10579 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10580 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10581 flags.
10582
10583 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10584 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10585 any installed hardware versions can.
10586 [Steve Henson]
10587
10588 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10589 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10590 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10591 number.
10592 [Bodo Moeller]
10593
10594 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10595 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10596 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10597 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10598 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10599
10600 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10601 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10602 [Steve Henson]
10603
10604 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10605 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10606 [Richard Levitte]
10607
10608 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10609 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10610 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10611 features.
10612 [Steve Henson]
10613
10614 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10615 [Ulf Möller]
10616
10617 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10618 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10619 but no ssl client purpose.
10620 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <[email protected]>]
10621
10622 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10623 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10624 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10625 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10626 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10627 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10628 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10629 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10630 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10631 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10632 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10633 [Steve Henson]
10634
10635 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10636 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10637 be obtained from the error queue.
10638 [Bodo Moeller]
10639
10640 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10641 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10642 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10643 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10644 [Bodo Moeller]
10645
10646 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10647 [Ulf Möller]
10648
10649 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10650 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10651 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10652 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10653 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10654 [Geoff Thorpe]
10655
10656 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10657 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10658 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10659 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10660 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10661 [Geoff Thorpe]
10662
10663 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10664 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10665 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10666 may not be NULL.
10667 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
10668
10669 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10670 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10671 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10672 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10673 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10674 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10675 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10676 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10677 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10678 or "the configuration storage API"...
10679
10680 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10681
10682 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10683 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10684
10685 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10686
10687 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10688
10689 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10690 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10691 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10692 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10693 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10694 arguments as the old CONF_* functions with the exception of the
10695 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10696
10697 To make it easier to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10698 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10699 [Richard Levitte]
10700
10701 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10702 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10703 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10704 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10705 [Bodo Moeller]
10706
10707 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10708 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10709 them in a portable way.
10710 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10711
10712 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10713
10714 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10715
10716 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10717 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10718
10719 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10720 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10721 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10722 <[email protected]>]
10723
10724 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10725 was larger than the MD block size.
10726 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <[email protected]>]
10727
10728 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10729 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10730 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10731 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10732 components.
10733 [Steve Henson]
10734
10735 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10736 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10737 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <[email protected]>]
10738
10739 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10740 discouraged.
10741 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <[email protected]>]
10742
10743 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10744 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10745 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10746 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10747 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10748 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10749
10750 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10751 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10752
10753 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10754 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10755 [Bodo Moeller]
10756
10757 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10758 [Bodo Moeller]
10759
10760 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10761 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10762 its own key.
10763 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10764 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10765 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10766 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10767 [Bodo Moeller]
10768
10769 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10770 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10771 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10772 does not suppress any output.
10773 [Richard Levitte]
10774
10775 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10776 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10777 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10778 with all the associated security issues.
10779
10780 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10781 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10782 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10783 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10784 use the value in the default purpose.
10785 [Steve Henson]
10786
10787 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10788 and fix a memory leak.
10789 [Steve Henson]
10790
10791 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10792 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10793 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10794 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10795 [Bodo Moeller]
10796
10797 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10798 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10799 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10800 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10801 [Bodo Moeller]
10802
10803 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10804 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10805 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10806 [Bodo Moeller]
10807
10808 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10809 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10810 [Bodo Moeller]
10811
10812 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10813 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10814 which was free.
10815 [Steve Henson]
10816
10817 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10818 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10819 [Bodo Moeller]
10820
10821 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10822 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10823 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10824 [Bodo Moeller]
10825
10826 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10827 number generation fails.
10828 [Bodo Moeller]
10829
10830 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10831 [Bodo Moeller]
10832
10833 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10834 [Rolf Haberrecker <[email protected]>]
10835
10836 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10837 [Ulf Möller]
10838
10839 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10840 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]> and Anonymous]
10841
10842 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10843 [Lutz Behnke <[email protected]>]
10844
10845 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10846
10847 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10848 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10849 [Steve Henson]
10850
10851 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10852 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <[email protected]>]
10853
10854 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10855 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10856 [Ulf Möller]
10857
10858 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10859 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10860 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10861 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10862 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10863 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <[email protected]>]
10864
10865 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10866 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10867 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10868 for example.
10869 [Steve Henson]
10870
10871 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10872 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10873 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10874 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10875 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10876 counter, some don't.)
10877 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10878 counters or duplicate objects.
10879 [Steve Henson]
10880
10881 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10882 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10883 [Steve Henson]
10884
10885 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10886 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10887 pointed out by David Sacerdote <[email protected]>]
10888
10889 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10890 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10891 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10892 or -rand.
10893 [Ulf Möller]
10894
10895 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10896 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10897 [Steve Henson]
10898
10899 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10900 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10901 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10902 cipher list.
10903 [Steve Henson]
10904
10905 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10906 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10907 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10908 [Steve Henson]
10909
10910 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10911 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10912 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10913 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10914 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10915 should work without changes.
10916 [Richard Levitte]
10917
10918 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10919 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10920 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10921 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10922 must be defined. E.g.,
10923 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10924 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10925 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10926 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10927
10928 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10929 record layer.
10930 [Bodo Moeller]
10931
10932 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10933 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10934 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10935 [Steve Henson]
10936
10937 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10938 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10939 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10940 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10941 [Steve Henson]
10942
10943 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10944 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10945 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10946 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10947 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10948 is prompted for as usual.
10949 [Steve Henson]
10950
10951 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10952 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10953 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10954 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10955
10956 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10957 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10958 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10959 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10960 [Steve Henson]
10961
10962 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10963 [Andy Polyakov]
10964
10965 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10966 of seed file.
10967 [Steve Henson]
10968
10969 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10970 [Bodo Moeller]
10971
10972 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10973 [Steve Henson]
10974
10975 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10976 bits.
10977 [Ulf Möller]
10978
10979 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10980 [Ulf Möller]
10981
10982 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10983 [Andy Polyakov]
10984
10985 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10986 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10987 [Ulf Möller]
10988
10989 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10990 options to produce them.
10991 [Steve Henson]
10992
10993 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10994 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10995 [Ulf Möller]
10996
10997 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10998 for p == 0.
10999 [Ulf Möller]
11000
11001 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11002 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11003 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11004 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11005 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11006 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11007 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11008 [Steve Henson]
11009
11010 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11011 [Steve Henson]
11012
11013 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11014 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11015 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11016 [Bodo Moeller]
11017
11018 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11019 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
11020
11021 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11022 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11023 [Ulf Möller]
11024
11025 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11026 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11027 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11028 has already seen).
11029 [Bodo Moeller]
11030
11031 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11032 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11033
11034 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11035 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11036 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11037 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11038 generation becomes much faster.
11039
11040 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11041 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11042 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11043 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11044 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11045 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11046 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11047 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11048 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11049 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11050 [Bodo Moeller]
11051
11052 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11053 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11054 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11055 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11056 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11057 trial division stage.
11058 [Bodo Moeller]
11059
11060 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11061 as ASN1_TIME.
11062 [Steve Henson]
11063
11064 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11065 [Steve Henson]
11066
11067 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11068 [Ulf Möller]
11069
11070 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11071 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11072 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11073 the comments.
11074 [Ulf Möller]
11075
11076 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11077 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11078 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11079 [Bodo Moeller]
11080
11081 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11082 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11083 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11084 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11085
11086 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11087 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11088 [Steve Henson]
11089
11090 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11091 [Ulf Möller]
11092
11093 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11094 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11095 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11096 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11097 [Ulf Möller]
11098
11099 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11100 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11101 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11102 [Ulf Möller]
11103
11104 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11105 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11106 (instead of parameters) in future.
11107 [Steve Henson]
11108
11109 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11110 when a new cipher list is set.
11111 [Steve Henson]
11112
11113 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11114 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11115 wrong.
11116
11117 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11118 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11119 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11120
11121 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11122 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11123 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11124 an error is flagged.
11125
11126 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11127 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11128 the readability was also increased :-)
11129 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]>]
11130
11131 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11132 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11133 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11134 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11135 as the root CA.
11136 [Steve Henson]
11137
11138 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11139 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11140 [Steve Henson]
11141
11142 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11143 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11144 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11145 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11146 instead.
11147
11148 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11149 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11150 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11151 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11152 because they handle more complex structures.)
11153 [Steve Henson]
11154
11155 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11156 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11157 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11158 [Kris Kennaway <[email protected]>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11159
11160 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11161 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11162 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11163 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11164 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11165 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11166 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11167 [Ulf Möller]
11168
11169 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11170 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11171 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11172 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11173 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11174 [Bodo Moeller]
11175
11176 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11177 [Bodo Moeller]
11178
11179 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11180 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11181 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11182 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11183 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11184 to use this.
11185
11186 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11187 code.
11188 [Steve Henson]
11189
11190 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11191 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11192 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11193 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11194 [Steve Henson]
11195
11196 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11197 [Ulf Möller]
11198
11199 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11200 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11201 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11202 international characters are used.
11203
11204 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11205 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11206 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11207 in ASN1 order.
11208 [Steve Henson]
11209
11210 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11211 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11212 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11213 request.
11214
11215 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11216 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11217 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11218 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11219 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11220 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11221
11222 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11223 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11224 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11225 be handled by the string table functions.
11226
11227 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11228 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11229 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11230 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11231 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11232 types at all.
11233 [Steve Henson]
11234
11235 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11236 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11237 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11238 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11239 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11240
11241 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11242 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11243 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11244 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11245 [Bodo Moeller]
11246
11247 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11248 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11249 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11250 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11251 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11252 SHA1.
11253 [Andy Polyakov]
11254
11255 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11256 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11257 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11258 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11259 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11260 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11261 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11262 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11263
11264 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11265 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11266 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11267 [Steve Henson]
11268
11269 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11270 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11271 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11272 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11273 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11274 support to pkcs8 application.
11275 [Steve Henson]
11276
11277 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11278 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11279 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11280 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11281 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11282 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11283 [Bodo Moeller]
11284
11285 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11286 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11287 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11288 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11289 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11290 consistency.
11291 [Bodo Moeller]
11292
11293 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11294 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11295 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11296 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11297 example.
11298 [Steve Henson]
11299
11300 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11301 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11302 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11303 and any application specific purposes.
11304
11305 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11306 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11307 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11308 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11309 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11310 if the certificate is self signed.
11311 [Steve Henson]
11312
11313 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11314 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11315 [Steve Henson]
11316
11317 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11318 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11319 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11320 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11321 [Steve Henson]
11322
11323 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11324 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11325 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11326 Update documentation.
11327 [Steve Henson]
11328
11329 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11330 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11331 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11332 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11333 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11334 [Steve Henson]
11335
11336 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11337 for details.
11338 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <[email protected]>]
11339
11340 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11341 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11342 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11343 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11344 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11345 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11346 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11347 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11348 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11349 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11350
11351 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11352
11353 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11354 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11355 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11356 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11357 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11358
11359 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11360 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11361 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11362 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11363 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11364 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11365 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11366 request additional information:
11367 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11368 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11369
11370 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11371 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11372 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11373 options.
11374
11375 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11376 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11377
11378 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11379 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11380 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11381
11382 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11383 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11384
11385 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11386 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11387 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11388 algorithm.
11389 [Steve Henson]
11390
11391 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11392 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11393 [Frans Heymans <[email protected]>, modified by Steve Henson]
11394
11395 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11396 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11397 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11398 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11399 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11400 included in OpenSSL.
11401 [Steve Henson]
11402
11403 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11404 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11405 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11406 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11407 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11408 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11409 [Bodo Moeller]
11410
11411 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11412 PKCS12 structure.
11413 [Steve Henson]
11414
11415 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11416 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11417 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11418 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11419 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11420 structure.
11421 [Steve Henson]
11422
11423 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11424 need initialising.
11425 [Steve Henson]
11426
11427 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11428 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11429 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11430 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11431 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11432 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11433 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11434 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11435 be maintained manually.
11436
11437 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11438 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11439 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11440 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11441 work because people forget to call this function]
11442 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11443 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11444 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11445 [Steve Henson]
11446
11447 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11448 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11449 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11450 should be discouraged from doing it.
11451 [Ben Laurie]
11452
11453 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11454 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11455 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11456 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11457 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11458 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11459 [Steve Henson]
11460
11461 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11462 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11463 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11464
11465 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11466 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11467 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11468
11469 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11470 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11471 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11472 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11473 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11474 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11475
11476 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11477 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11478 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11479
11480 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11481 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11482 and vice versa.
11483
11484 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11485 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11486 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11487 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11488 [Steve Henson]
11489
11490 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11491 [Steve Henson]
11492
11493 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11494 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11495 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11496 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11497 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11498 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11499 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11500 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11501 keys so we should be OK.
11502
11503 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11504 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11505 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11506 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11507 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11508 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11509 stay in the name of compatibility.
11510
11511 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11512 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11513 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11514
11515 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11516 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11517 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11518 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11519 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11520 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11521 supplied key).
11522 [Steve Henson]
11523
11524 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11525 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11526 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11527 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11528 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11529 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11530 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11531 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11532 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11533 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11534 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11535 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11536 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11537 [Steve Henson]
11538
11539 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11540 [Steve Henson]
11541
11542 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11543 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11544 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11545 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11546 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11547 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11548 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11549 openssl verify ss.pem
11550 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11551 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11552 is OK.
11553 [Steve Henson]
11554
11555 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11556 (and add it to external session representation).
11557 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11558 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11559 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11560 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11561 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11562 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11563 security holes.
11564 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11565
11566 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11567 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11568 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11569 [Po-Cheng Chen <[email protected]>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11570
11571 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11572 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11573 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11574 [Steve Henson]
11575
11576 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11577 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11578 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11579 code.
11580 [Steve Henson]
11581
11582 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11583 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11584 [Geoff Thorpe <[email protected]>]
11585
11586 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11587 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11588 certificate auxiliary information.
11589 [Steve Henson]
11590
11591 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11592 the 'enc' command.
11593 [Steve Henson]
11594
11595 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11596 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11597 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11598 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11599 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11600 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11601 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11602 [Richard Levitte]
11603
11604 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11605 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11606 [Steve Henson]
11607
11608 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11609 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11610 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11611 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11612 [Steve Henson]
11613
11614 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11615 [Steve Henson]
11616
11617 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11618 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11619 [Steve Henson]
11620
11621 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11622 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11623 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11624 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11625 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11626 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11627 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11628 using the new 'x509' options.
11629
11630 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11631 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11632 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11633 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11634 for all purposes.
11635 [Steve Henson]
11636
11637 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11638 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11639 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11640 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11641 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11642 [Mark Cox]
11643
11644 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11645 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11646 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11647 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11648 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11649 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11650 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11651 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11652 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11653 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11654 [Steve Henson]
11655
11656 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11657 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11658 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11659 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11660 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11661 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11662 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11663 [Steve Henson]
11664
11665 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11666 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11667 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11668 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11669 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11670 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11671 openssl.cnf for more info.
11672 [Steve Henson]
11673
11674 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11675 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11676 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11677 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11678 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11679 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11680 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11681 md should be large enough anyway.
11682 [Bodo Moeller]
11683
11684 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11685 for handling the random seed file.
11686
11687 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11688 ca,
11689 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11690 s_client,
11691 s_server,
11692 x509 (when signing).
11693 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11694 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11695 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11696
11697 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11698 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11699 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11700 that support '-rand'.
11701 [Bodo Moeller]
11702
11703 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11704 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11705 [Bodo Moeller]
11706
11707 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11708 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11709 [Bill Perry]
11710
11711 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11712 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11713 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11714 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11715 is suitable.
11716 [Steve Henson]
11717
11718 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11719 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11720 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11721 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11722 [Steve Henson]
11723
11724 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11725 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11726 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11727 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11728 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11729 print out all the purposes.
11730 [Steve Henson]
11731
11732 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11733 functions.
11734 [Steve Henson]
11735
11736 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11737 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11738 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11739 single function call.
11740 [Steve Henson]
11741
11742 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11743 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11744 [Andy Polyakov]
11745
11746 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11747 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11748 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11749 [Steve Henson]
11750
11751 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11752 when producing the local key id.
11753 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
11754
11755 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11756 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11757 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11758 "server.pem".
11759 [Steve Henson]
11760
11761 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11762 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11763 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11764 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11765 [Steve Henson]
11766
11767 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11768 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11769 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11770 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <[email protected]>]
11771
11772 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11773 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11774 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11775 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
11776
11777 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11778 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11779 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11780 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11781 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11782 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11783 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11784 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11785 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11786 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11787 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11788 trivial: move one line.
11789 [Steve Henson, reported by [email protected] (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11790
11791 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11792 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11793 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11794 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11795 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11796 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11797 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11798 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11799 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11800 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11801 with an event loop for example.
11802 [Steve Henson]
11803
11804 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11805 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11806 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11807 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11808 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11809 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11810 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11811 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11812 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11813 [Steve Henson]
11814
11815 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11816 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11817 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11818 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11819 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11820 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11821 [Steve Henson]
11822
11823 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11824 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11825 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11826 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11827
11828 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11829 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11830 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11831 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11832 key generation.
11833 [Steve Henson]
11834
11835 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11836 (still largely untested)
11837 [Bodo Moeller]
11838
11839 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11840 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11841 [Steve Henson]
11842
11843 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11844 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11845 [Steve Henson]
11846
11847 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11848 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11849 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11850 [Bodo Moeller]
11851
11852 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11853 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11854 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11855 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11856 Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]> but extensively modified.
11857 [Steve Henson]
11858
11859 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11860 [Andy Polyakov]
11861
11862 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11863 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11864 <[email protected]>. The new option is called -extensions
11865 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11866 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11867 in ca.
11868 [Steve Henson]
11869
11870 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11871 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11872 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11873 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11874 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11875 [Steve Henson]
11876
11877 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11878 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11879 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11880 are otherwise ignored at present.
11881 [Steve Henson]
11882
11883 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11884 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11885 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11886 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11887 copied until the next read.
11888 [Steve Henson]
11889
11890 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11891 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11892 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11893 [Steve Henson]
11894
11895 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11896 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11897 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11898 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11899 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11900 associated functions.
11901 [Steve Henson]
11902
11903 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11904 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11905 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11906 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11907 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11908 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11909 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11910 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11911 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11912 memory BIOs.
11913 [Steve Henson]
11914
11915 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11916 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11917 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11918 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11919 [Bodo Moeller]
11920
11921 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11922 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11923 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11924 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11925 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11926 functionality.
11927 [Steve Henson]
11928
11929 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11930 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11931 under Win32.
11932 [Steve Henson]
11933
11934 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11935 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11936 extensions to be obtained and added.
11937 [Steve Henson]
11938
11939 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11940 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11941 [Bodo Moeller]
11942
11943 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11944
11945 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11947
11948 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11949 [Andrija Antonijevic <[email protected]>]
11950
11951 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11952 program.
11953 [Steve Henson]
11954
11955 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11956 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11957 DH parameters contain its length).
11958
11959 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11960 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11961 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11962 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11963 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11964 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11965 utter importance to use
11966 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11967 or
11968 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11969 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11970 attacks may become possible!
11971 [Bodo Moeller]
11972
11973 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11974 [Bodo Moeller]
11975
11976 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11977 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11978 [Steve Henson]
11979
11980 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11981 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11982 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11983 or long name.
11984 [Steve Henson]
11985
11986 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11987 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11988 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11989 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11990 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11991 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11992 private key operations.
11993 [Steve Henson]
11994
11995 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11996 [Andy Polyakov]
11997
11998 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11999 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12000 to
12001 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12002 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12003 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12004 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12005 the password callback is called.
12006 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12007
12008 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12009
12010 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12011 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12012 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12013 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12014 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12015 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12016 this will work.
12017
12018 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12019 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12020 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12021 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12022 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12023 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12024 [Bodo Moeller]
12025
12026 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12027 [Andy Polyakov]
12028
12029 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12030 delete an unused file.
12031 [Ulf Möller]
12032
12033 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12034 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12035 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12036 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12037 [Steve Henson]
12038
12039 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12040 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12041 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12042 of an error.
12043 [Bodo Moeller]
12044
12045 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12046 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12047 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12048
12049 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12050 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12051 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12052 comparison" warnings.
12053 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12054 [Steve Henson]
12055
12056 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12057 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12058 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12059 [Steve Henson]
12060
12061 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12062 [Roman E. Pavlov <[email protected]>]
12063
12064 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12065 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12066
12067 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12068 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12069 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12070
12071 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12072 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12073 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12074 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12075 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12076 this bug.
12077 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <[email protected]>]
12078
12079 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12080 The interface is as follows:
12081 Applications can use
12082 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12083 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12084 "off" is now the default.
12085 The library internally uses
12086 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12087 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12088 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12089
12090 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12091 even the default) are now avoided.
12092
12093 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12094 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12095 than just having a counter.
12096
12097 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12098
12099 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12100 extensions.
12101 [Bodo Moeller]
12102
12103 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12104 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12105 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12106 Initial "mode" flags are:
12107
12108 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12109 a single record has been written.
12110 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12111 retries use the same buffer location.
12112 (But all of the contents must be
12113 copied!)
12114 [Bodo Moeller]
12115
12116 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12117 worked.
12118
12119 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12120 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <[email protected]>]
12121
12122 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12123 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12124 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12125 [Steve Henson]
12126
12127 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12128 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12129 test programs.
12130 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12131
12132 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12133 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12134 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12135 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12136 point to the end.
12137 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12138 <[email protected]>]
12139
12140 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12141 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12142 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12143 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12144 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12145 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12146 [Steve Henson]
12147
12148 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12149 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12150 necessary function names.
12151 [Steve Henson]
12152
12153 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12154 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12155 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12156 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12157 [Bodo Moeller]
12158
12159 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12160 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12161 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12162 [Steve Henson]
12163
12164 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12165 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12166 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12167 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12168 such programs?)
12169 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12170 need locks.
12171 [Bodo Moeller]
12172
12173 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12174 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12175 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12176 [Bodo Moeller]
12177
12178 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12179 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12180 appropriate.
12181 [Bodo Moeller]
12182
12183 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12184 for the encoded length.
12185 [Jeon KyoungHo <[email protected]>]
12186
12187 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12188 [Steve Henson]
12189
12190 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12191 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12192 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12193 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12194 [Steve Henson]
12195
12196 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12197 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12198 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12199
12200 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12201 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12202 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12203 unusual formatting.
12204 [Steve Henson]
12205
12206 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12207 to use the new extension code.
12208 [Steve Henson]
12209
12210 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12211 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12212 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12213 constant.
12214 [Steve Henson]
12215
12216 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12217 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12218 according to Mark Crispin <[email protected]>.
12219 [Bodo Moeller]
12220
12221#if 0
12222 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12223 [Ben Laurie]
12224#else
12225 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12226 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12227 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12228#endif
12229
12230 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12231 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12232 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12233 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12234 [Ben Laurie]
12235
12236 *) DES library cleanups.
12237 [Ulf Möller]
12238
12239 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12240 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12241 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12242 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12243 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12244 of v2.0.
12245 [Steve Henson]
12246
12247 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12248 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12249 [Bodo Moeller]
12250
12251 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12252 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12253 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12254 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12255 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12256 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12257 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12258 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12259 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12260 [Steve Henson]
12261
12262 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12263 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12264 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12265 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12266 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12267 value doesn't matter.
12268 [Steve Henson]
12269
12270 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12271 support mutable.
12272 [Ben Laurie]
12273
12274 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12275 [Ray Miller <[email protected]>]
12276 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12277 [Christian Forster <[email protected]>]
12278
12279 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12280 [Ulf Möller]
12281
12282 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12283 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12284 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
12285
12286 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12287 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
12288
12289 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12290 [Ben Laurie]
12291
12292 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12293 [Ben Laurie]
12294
12295 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12296 [Ben Laurie]
12297
12298 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12299 [Bodo Moeller]
12300
12301
12302 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12303
12304 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12305
12306 *) Updated some demos.
12307 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12308
12309 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12310 [Wu Zhigang]
12311
12312 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12313 [Steve Henson]
12314
12315 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12316 [Steve Henson]
12317
12318 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12319 instead of using a fixed path.
12320 [Bodo Moeller]
12321
12322 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12323 [Andy Polyakov]
12324
12325 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12326 [Richard Levitte]
12327
12328
12329 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12330
12331 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12332 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12333 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12334
12335 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12336 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12337 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12338 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12339 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12340 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12341 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12342 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12343 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12344 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12345 [Steve Henson]
12346
12347 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12348 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12349 [Steve Henson]
12350
12351 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12352 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12353 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12354 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12355 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12356
12357 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12358 [Bodo Moeller]
12359
12360 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12361 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12362 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12363 [Steve Henson]
12364
12365 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12366 [Ben Laurie]
12367
12368 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12369 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12370 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12371 key elements as negative integers.
12372 [Steve Henson]
12373
12374 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12375 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12376
12377 *) VMS support.
12378 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12379
12380 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12381 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12382 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12383 [Steve Henson]
12384
12385 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12386 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12387 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12388 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12389 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12390 [Bodo Moeller]
12391
12392 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12393 [Ulf Möller]
12394
12395 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12396 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12397 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12398 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12399
12400 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12401 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12402 [Sebastian Akerman <[email protected]>, modified by Steve]
12403
12404 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12405 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12406 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12407 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12408 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12409 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12410 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12411 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12412 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12413
12414 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12415 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12416 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12417 does not influence s as it used to.
12418
12419 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12420 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12421 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12422 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12423 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12424 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12425 [Bodo Moeller]
12426
12427 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12428 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12429 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12430 key type.
12431 [Steve Henson]
12432
12433 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12434 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12435 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12436 and 'x509').
12437 [Steve Henson]
12438
12439 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12440 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12441 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12442 extension option.
12443 [Steve Henson]
12444
12445 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12446 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12447 [Ben Laurie]
12448
12449 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12450 [Janez Jere <[email protected]>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12451
12452 *) Support Mingw32.
12453 [Ulf Möller]
12454
12455 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12456 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12457
12458 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12459 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12460
12461 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12462 [Ulf Möller]
12463
12464 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12465 [Anonymous]
12466
12467 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12468 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12469
12470 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12471 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12472 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12473 DER-encoded.)
12474 [Bodo Moeller]
12475
12476 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12477 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12478 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12479 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12480 now it really counts the depth.
12481 [Bodo Moeller]
12482
12483 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12484 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12485 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12486 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12487 didn't match the private key).
12488
12489 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12490 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12491 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12492 [Bodo Moeller]
12493
12494 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12495 [Ulf Möller]
12496
12497 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12498 David Harris.
12499 [Bodo Moeller]
12500
12501 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12502 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12503 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12504 [Bodo Moeller]
12505
12506 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12507 [Bodo Moeller]
12508
12509 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12510 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12511 such as /usr/local/bin.
12512 [Bodo Moeller]
12513
12514 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12515 [Niels Poppe <[email protected]>]
12516
12517 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12518 [Ulf Möller]
12519
12520 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12521 extension adding in x509 utility.
12522 [Steve Henson]
12523
12524 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12525 [Ulf Möller]
12526
12527 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12528 prototypes.
12529 [Steve Henson]
12530
12531 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12532 [Ulf Möller]
12533
12534 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12535 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12536 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12537 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12538 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12539 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12540 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code embedded
12541 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12542 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12543 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12544 [Steve Henson]
12545
12546 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12547 [Bodo Moeller]
12548
12549 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12550 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12551 [Bodo Moeller]
12552
12553 *) Fix some race conditions.
12554 [Bodo Moeller]
12555
12556 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12557 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12558 [Steve Henson]
12559
12560 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12561 [Ulf Möller]
12562
12563 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12564 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12565 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12566 [Merlin Hughes <[email protected]>]
12567
12568 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12569 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12570
12571 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12572 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12573 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12574
12575 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12576 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12577
12578 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12579 [Ulf Möller]
12580
12581 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12582 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>, Ulf Möller]
12583
12584 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12585 [Ulf Möller]
12586
12587 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12588 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12589
12590 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12591 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12592 [Steve Henson]
12593
12594 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12595 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12596 [Ben Laurie]
12597
12598 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12599 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12600 [Steve Henson]
12601
12602 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12603 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12604 [Steve Henson]
12605
12606 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12607 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12608 [Steve Henson]
12609
12610 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12611 support typesafe stack.
12612 [Steve Henson]
12613
12614 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12615 [Nils Frostberg <[email protected]>]
12616
12617 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12618 old X509V3 handling code.
12619 [Steve Henson]
12620
12621 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12622 [Ulf Möller]
12623
12624 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12625 [Bodo Moeller]
12626
12627 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12628 [Ben Laurie]
12629
12630 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12631 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12632
12633 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12634 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12635 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12636 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12637 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12638 [Ben Laurie]
12639
12640 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12641 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12642 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12643 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12644 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12645
12646 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12647 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12648 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12649 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12650
12651 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12652 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12653 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12654 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12655
12656 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12657 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12658 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12659 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12660 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12661 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12662 [Bodo Moeller]
12663
12664 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12665 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12666 [Bodo Moeller]
12667
12668 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12669 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12670 [Ulf Möller]
12671
12672 *) Tweaks to Configure
12673 [Niels Poppe <[email protected]>]
12674
12675 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12676 yet...
12677 [Steve Henson]
12678
12679 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12680 [Ulf Möller]
12681
12682 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12683 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12684 [Ulf Möller]
12685
12686 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12687 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12688 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12689 [Bodo Moeller]
12690
12691 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12692 [Bodo Moeller]
12693
12694 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12695 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12696 [Steve Henson]
12697
12698 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12699 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12700 to library startup routines.
12701 [Steve Henson]
12702
12703 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12704 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12705 codes along the way.
12706 [Steve Henson]
12707
12708 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12709 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12710 objects to objects.h
12711 [Steve Henson]
12712
12713 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12714 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12715 [Steve Henson]
12716
12717 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12718 [Jeff Dubrule <[email protected]>]
12719
12720 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12721 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12722 [Hannes Reinecke <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
12723
12724 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12725 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12726 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12727
12728 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12729 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12730 [Soren S. Jorvang <[email protected]>]
12731
12732
12733 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12734
12735 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12736 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12737 [Ben Laurie]
12738
12739 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12740 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12741 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12742 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12743 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12744
12745 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12746 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12747 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12748 document.
12749 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12750
12751 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12752 Malloc, Free.
12753 [Lennart Bang <[email protected]>, with minor changes by Steve]
12754
12755 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12756 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12757
12758 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12759 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12760 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12761 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12762
12763 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12764 [Ben Laurie]
12765
12766 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12767 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12768 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12769 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12770 [Steve Henson]
12771
12772 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12773 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12774 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12775 [Steve Henson]
12776
12777 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12778 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12779 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12780 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12781 installed as `perl').
12782 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12783
12784 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12785 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12786
12787 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12788 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12789 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <[email protected]> for the
12790 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12791 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12792 [Steve Henson]
12793
12794 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12795 [Ben Laurie]
12796
12797 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12798 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12799 is horrible: I feel ill....
12800 [Steve Henson]
12801
12802 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12803 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12804 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12805 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12806 [Steve Henson]
12807
12808 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12809 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12810
12811 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12812 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12813 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12815
12816 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12817 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12818 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12819 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12820 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12821 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12822 openssl_bio.xs.
12823 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12824
12825 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12826 [Kenji Miyake <[email protected]>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12827
12828 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12829 [John Tobey <[email protected]>]
12830
12831 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12832 [Ben Laurie]
12833
12834 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12835 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12836 in CRLs.
12837 [Steve Henson]
12838
12839 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12840 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12841 Configure script every time: One now can use ``perl Configure
12842 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12843 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12844 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12845 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12846 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12847 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12848 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12849 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12850
12851 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12852 [Ben Laurie]
12853
12854 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12855 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12856 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12857 for linking it into DSOs.
12858 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12859
12860 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12861 Fixed.
12862 [Ben Laurie]
12863
12864 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12865 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under [email protected].
12866 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12867 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12868 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12870
12871 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12872 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12873 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12874 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12875 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12876 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12877 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12878
12879 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12880 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12881 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12882 encryption.
12883 [Ben Laurie]
12884
12885 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12886 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12887 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12888 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12889 [Steve Henson]
12890
12891 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12892 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12893 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12894 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12895 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12896 field as blank.
12897 [Steve Henson]
12898
12899 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12900 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12901 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12902 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12903 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12904
12905 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12906 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12907 [Lennart Bong <[email protected]>]
12908
12909 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12910 [Lennart Bong <[email protected]>]
12911
12912 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12913 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12914 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12915 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12916 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12917 [Steve Henson]
12918
12919 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12920 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12921 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12922 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12923 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12924 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12925 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12926 [Ben Laurie]
12927
12928 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12929 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12930 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12931 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12932 [Ben Laurie]
12933
12934 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12935 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12936
12937 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12938 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12939 [Steve Henson]
12940
12941 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12942 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12943 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12944 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12945 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12946 (e.g. s_server).
12947 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12948 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12949 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12950 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12951 no way to reconfigure them.
12952 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12953 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12954 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12955 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12956 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12957 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12958
12959 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12960 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12961 recognized by the users.
12962 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12963
12964 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12965 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12966 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12967 already masked variable.
12968 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12969
12970 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12971 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12972
12973 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12974 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12975 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12976 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12977
12978 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12979 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12980 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12981
12982 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12983 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12984 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12985 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12986 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12987 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12988 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12989 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12990 now, too.
12991 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12992
12993 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12994 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12995 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
12996
12997 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12998 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12999 config file.
13000 [Steve Henson]
13001
13002 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13003 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13004
13005 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13006 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13007 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13008 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13009 [Ben Laurie]
13010
13011 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13012 [Steve Henson]
13013
13014 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13015 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
13016
13017 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13018 [Ben Laurie]
13019
13020 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13021 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13022 [Steve Henson]
13023
13024 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13025 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13026 [Steve Henson]
13027
13028 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13029 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13030 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13031 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13032 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13033 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13034 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13035 Ben Laurie]
13036
13037 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13038 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13039
13040 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13041 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13042 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13043 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13044 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13045
13046 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13047 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13048 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13049 [Steve Henson]
13050
13051 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13052 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13053 an example.
13054 [Steve Henson]
13055
13056 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13057 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13058 [Lars Weber <[email protected]>]
13059
13060 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13061 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13062 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13063 build instructions.
13064 [Steve Henson]
13065
13066 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13067 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13068 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13069 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13070 [Steve Henson]
13071
13072 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13073 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13074 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13075 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13076 [Ben Laurie]
13077
13078 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13079 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13080 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13081 so it wasn't spotted.
13082 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <[email protected]>]
13083
13084 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13085 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13086 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13087 vectors if you have them.
13088 [Ben Laurie]
13089
13090 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13091 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13092 [Ben Laurie]
13093
13094 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13095 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13096 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13097 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13098 If you do a:
13099 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13100 it will update them.
13101 [Steve Henson]
13102
13103 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13104 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13105 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13106 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13107 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13108 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13109 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13110 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13111
13112 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13113 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13114 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13115 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13116 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13117 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13118 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13119 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13120 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13121 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13122
13123 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13124 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13125 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13126 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13127 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13128 [Steve Henson]
13129
13130 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13131 INTEGER code.
13132 [Steve Henson]
13133
13134 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13135 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13136
13137 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13138 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
13139
13140 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13141 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13142 [Ben Laurie]
13143
13144 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13145 [Alan Batie <[email protected]>]
13146
13147 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13148 [Rainer W. Gerling <[email protected]>]
13149
13150 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13151 [Steve Henson]
13152
13153 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13154 few typos.
13155 [Steve Henson]
13156
13157 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13158 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13159 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13160 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13161
13162 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13163 [Steve Henson]
13164
13165 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13166 [Steve Henson]
13167
13168 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13169 [Steve Henson]
13170
13171 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13172 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13173 [Steve Henson]
13174
13175 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13176 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13177 CA extensions.
13178 [Steve Henson]
13179
13180 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13181 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13182 [Steve Henson]
13183
13184 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13185 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13186 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13187 [Steve Henson]
13188
13189 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13190 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13191 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13192 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13193 properly to be processed.
13194 [Steve Henson]
13195
13196 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13197 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13198 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13199 [Ben Laurie]
13200
13201 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13202 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <[email protected]>]
13203
13204 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13205 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13206 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13207 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13208 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13209 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13210 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13211 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13212 or delete all the .err files.
13213 [Steve Henson]
13214
13215 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13216 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13217 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13218 to regenerate it if needed.
13219 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13220 Hagino <[email protected]>]
13221
13222 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13223 [Ulf Möller <[email protected]>]
13224
13225 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13226 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13227 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13228 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13229 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13230 [Steve Henson]
13231
13232 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13233 [Ulf Möller <[email protected]>]
13234
13235 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13236 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13237
13238 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13239 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13240 error, but didn't set one).
13241 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13242
13243 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13244 [Ben Laurie]
13245
13246 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13247 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13248 [Steve Henson]
13249
13250 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13251 [Neil Costigan <[email protected]>]
13252
13253 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13254 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13255 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13256 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13257 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13258 OID is not part of the table.
13259 [Steve Henson]
13260
13261 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13262 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13263 [Ben Laurie]
13264
13265 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13266 [Ben Laurie]
13267
13268 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13269 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13270 was "1234").
13271 [Steve Henson]
13272
13273 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13274 [Frans Heymans <[email protected]>]
13275
13276 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13277 NULL pointers.
13278 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13279
13280 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13281 [Bodo Moeller <[email protected]>]
13282
13283 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13284 [Bodo Moeller <[email protected]>]
13285
13286 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13287 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13288
13289 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13290 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13291 [Ben Laurie]
13292
13293 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13294 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13295 [Steve Henson]
13296
13297 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13298 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13299
13300 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13301 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13302
13303 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13304 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13305
13306 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13307 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13308
13309 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13310 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13311 unused in the certificate verification process.
13312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13313
13314 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13315 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13316 [Steve Henson]
13317
13318 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13319 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13320 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13321
13322 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13323 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13324 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13325 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13326 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13327
13328 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13329 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13330 [Steve Henson]
13331
13332 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13333 [Steve Henson]
13334
13335 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13336 [Paul Sutton]
13337
13338 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13339 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13340
13341 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13342 [Ben Laurie]
13343
13344 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13345 [Ben Laurie]
13346
13347 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13348 [Ben Laurie]
13349
13350 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13351 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13352 other error libraries.
13353 [Steve Henson]
13354
13355 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13356 [Steve Henson]
13357
13358 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13359 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13360 be read in.
13361 [Steve Henson]
13362
13363 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13364 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13365 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13366 the new set of documentation files.
13367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13368
13369 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13370 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13371 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13372 number of arguments.
13373 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <[email protected]>]
13374
13375 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13376 [Ben Laurie]
13377
13378 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13379 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13380 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <[email protected]>]
13381
13382 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13383 [Ben Laurie]
13384
13385 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13386 nextstep
13387 ncr-scde
13388 unixware-2.0
13389 unixware-2.0-pentium
13390 sco5-cc.
13391 [Ben Laurie]
13392
13393 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13394 before they are needed.
13395 [Ben Laurie]
13396
13397 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13398 [Ben Laurie]
13399
13400
13401 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13402
13403 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13404 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13405 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13406
13407 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13408 [Paul Sutton]
13409
13410 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13411 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13412 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13413
13414 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13415 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13416 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13417
13418 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13419 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13420 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13421
13422 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13423 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <[email protected]>]
13424
13425 *) Updated the README file.
13426 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13427
13428 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13429 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13431
13432 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13433 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13434 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13435

13449 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13450 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13451
13452 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13453 [Mark J. Cox]
13454
13455 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13456 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13457 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13458 summer 1998.

13476 available).
13477 [Eric A. Young]
13478
