10 Changes between 1.1.1j and 1.1.1k [25 Mar 2021]
11
12 *) Fixed a problem with verifying a certificate chain when using the
13 X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag. This flag enables additional security checks
14 of the certificates present in a certificate chain. It is not set by
15 default.
16
17 Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow certificates in
18 the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic curve parameters was added
19 as an additional strict check.
20
21 An error in the implementation of this check meant that the result of a
22 previous check to confirm that certificates in the chain are valid CA
23 certificates was overwritten. This effectively bypasses the check
24 that non-CA certificates must not be able to issue other certificates.
25
26 If a "purpose" has been configured then there is a subsequent opportunity
27 for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of the named "purpose"
28 values implemented in libcrypto perform this check. Therefore, where
29 a purpose is set the certificate chain will still be rejected even when the
30 strict flag has been used. A purpose is set by default in libssl client and
31 server certificate verification routines, but it can be overridden or
32 removed by an application.
33
34 In order to be affected, an application must explicitly set the
35 X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification flag and either not set a purpose
36 for the certificate verification or, in the case of TLS client or server
37 applications, override the default purpose.
38 (CVE-2021-3450)
39 [Tomáš Mráz]
40
41 *) Fixed an issue where an OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously
42 crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2
43 renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms extension (where
44 it was present in the initial ClientHello), but includes a
45 signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer dereference will
46 result, leading to a crash and a denial of service attack.
47
48 A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation enabled
49 (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients are not impacted
50 by this issue.
51 (CVE-2021-3449)
52 [Peter Kästle and Samuel Sapalski]
53
54 Changes between 1.1.1i and 1.1.1j [16 Feb 2021]
55
56 *) Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts to
57 create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial number data
58 contained within an X509 certificate. However it was failing to correctly
59 handle any errors that may occur while parsing the issuer field (which might
60 occur if the issuer field is maliciously constructed). This may subsequently
61 result in a NULL pointer deref and a crash leading to a potential denial of
62 service attack.
63 (CVE-2021-23841)
64 [Matt Caswell]
65
66 *) Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the RSA_SSLV23_PADDING
67 padding mode to correctly check for rollback attacks. This is considered a
68 bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1 because it does not support SSLv2. In 1.0.2 this is
69 CVE-2021-23839.
70 [Matt Caswell]
71
72 *) Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate
73 functions. Previously they could overflow the output length argument in some
74 cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissable length for
75 an integer on the platform. In such cases the return value from the function
76 call would be 1 (indicating success), but the output length value would be
77 negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly or crash.
78 (CVE-2021-23840)
79 [Matt Caswell]
80
81 *) Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time. The previous
82 implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This
83 could be exploited in a side channel attack to recover the password. Since
84 the attack is local host only this is outside of the current OpenSSL
85 threat model and therefore no CVE is assigned.
86
87 Thanks to Mohammed Sabt and Daniel De Almeida Braga for reporting this
88 issue.
89 [Matt Caswell]
90
91 Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [8 Dec 2020]
92
93 *) Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function
94 This function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
95 If an attacker can control both items being compared then this could lead
96 to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself uses the
97 GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
98 1) Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL and a
99 CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate
100 2) When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
101 timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
102 TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token)
103 (CVE-2020-1971)
104 [Matt Caswell]
105
106 *) Add support for Apple Silicon M1 Macs with the darwin64-arm64-cc target.
107 [Stuart Carnie]
108
109 *) The security callback, which can be customised by application code, supports
110 the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. This is defined to take an EVP_PKEY
111 in the "other" parameter. In most places this is what is passed. All these
112 places occur server side. However there was one client side call of this
113 security operation and it passed a DH object instead. This is incorrect
114 according to the definition of SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH, and is inconsistent with all
115 of the other locations. Therefore this client side call has been changed to
116 pass an EVP_PKEY instead.
117 [Matt Caswell]
118
119 *) In 1.1.1h, an expired trusted (root) certificate was not anymore rejected
120 when validating a certificate path. This check is restored in 1.1.1i.
121 [David von Oheimb]
122
123 Changes between 1.1.1g and 1.1.1h [22 Sep 2020]
124
125 *) Certificates with explicit curve parameters are now disallowed in
126 verification chains if the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag is used.
127 [Tomas Mraz]
128
129 *) The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently
130 ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring DTLS-based contexts, and
131 conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring
132 TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both
133 types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and
134 "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS
135 and DTLS.
136
137 SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
138 TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
139 attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
140 error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
141 limits in configuration files in command-line options.
142 [Viktor Dukhovni]
143
144 *) Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
145 on renegotiation.
146 [Tomas Mraz]
147
148 *) Accidentally, an expired trusted (root) certificate is not anymore rejected
149 when validating a certificate path.
150 [David von Oheimb]
151
152 *) The Oracle Developer Studio compiler will start reporting deprecated APIs
153
154 Changes between 1.1.1f and 1.1.1g [21 Apr 2020]
155
156 *) Fixed segmentation fault in SSL_check_chain()
157 Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function
158 during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer
159 dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the
160 "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid
161 or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could
162 be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack.
163 (CVE-2020-1967)
164 [Benjamin Kaduk]
165
166 *) Added AES consttime code for no-asm configurations
167 an optional constant time support for AES was added
168 when building openssl for no-asm.
169 Enable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_AES_CONST_TIME
170 Disable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_NO_AES_CONST_TIME
171 At this time this feature is by default disabled.
172 It will be enabled by default in 3.0.
173 [Bernd Edlinger]
174
175 Changes between 1.1.1e and 1.1.1f [31 Mar 2020]
176
177 *) Revert the change of EOF detection while reading in libssl to avoid
178 regressions in applications depending on the current way of reporting
179 the EOF. As the existing method is not fully accurate the change to
180 reporting the EOF via SSL_ERROR_SSL is kept on the current development
181 branch and will be present in the 3.0 release.
182 [Tomas Mraz]
183
184 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 3..17863 in p-1
185 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
186 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
187 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
188 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
189 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
190 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
191 [Bernd Edlinger]
192
193 Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [17 Mar 2020]
194 *) Properly detect EOF while reading in libssl. Previously if we hit an EOF
195 while reading in libssl then we would report an error back to the
196 application (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL) but errno would be 0. We now add
197 an error to the stack (which means we instead return SSL_ERROR_SSL) and
198 therefore give a hint as to what went wrong.
199 [Matt Caswell]
200
201 *) Check that ed25519 and ed448 are allowed by the security level. Previously
202 signature algorithms not using an MD were not being checked that they were
203 allowed by the security level.
204 [Kurt Roeckx]
205
206 *) Fixed SSL_get_servername() behaviour. The behaviour of SSL_get_servername()
207 was not quite right. The behaviour was not consistent between resumption
208 and normal handshakes, and also not quite consistent with historical
209 behaviour. The behaviour in various scenarios has been clarified and
210 it has been updated to make it match historical behaviour as closely as
211 possible.
212 [Matt Caswell]
213
214 *) [VMS only] The header files that the VMS compilers include automatically,
215 __DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H and __DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H, use pragmas that
216 the C++ compiler doesn't understand. This is a shortcoming in the
217 compiler, but can be worked around with __cplusplus guards.
218
219 C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled using the
220 qualifier '/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED)' to be able to use all the OpenSSL
221 functions. Otherwise, only functions with symbols of less than 31
222 characters can be used, as the linker will not be able to successfully
223 resolve symbols with longer names.
224 [Richard Levitte]
225
226 *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
227 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
228 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
229 was removed.
230
231 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
232 like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
233 [Richard Levitte]
234
235 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
236 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
237 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
238 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
239 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
240 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
241 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
242 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
243 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
244 (CVE-2019-1551)
245 [Andy Polyakov]
246
247 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
248 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
249 [Richard Levitte]
250
251 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
252 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
253 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
254 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
255
256 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
257 the first value.
258 [Jon Spillett]
259
260 Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
261
262 *) Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
263 number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
264 event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
265 processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not
266 being used in the default case.
267
268 A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
269 precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
270 and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
271
272 If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
273 OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
274 (CVE-2019-1549)
275 [Matthias St. Pierre]
276
277 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
278 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
279 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
280 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
281 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
282 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
283 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
284 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
285 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
286 [Nicola Tuveri]
287
288 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
289 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
290 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
291 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
292 (CVE-2019-1547)
293 [Billy Bob Brumley]
294
295 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
296 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
297 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
298 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
299 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
300 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
301 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
302 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
303 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
304 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
305 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
306 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
307 (CVE-2019-1563)
308 [Bernd Edlinger]
309
310 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
311 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
312 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
313 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
314 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
315 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
316 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
317 [Paul Dale]
318
319 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
320 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
321 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
322 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
323 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
324 [Matt Caswell]
325
326 *) Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
327
328 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
329 paths should be used for installation.
330 (CVE-2019-1552)
331 [Richard Levitte]
332
333 *) Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q subgroups.
334 With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key is not secret
335 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
336 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
337 [Bernd Edlinger]
338
339 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
340 [Paul Dale]
341
342 *) Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
343
344 The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
345 /dev/random device to become readable before reading from the
346 /dev/urandom device.
347
348 It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
349 performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
350 was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
351 resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
352 during early boot time.
353 [Matthias St. Pierre]
354
355 Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
356
357 *) Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
358 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
359 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
360
361 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
362 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
363 [Richard Levitte]
364
365 *) Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
366 [Patrick Steuer]
367
368 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
369 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
370 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
371 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
372 [Kurt Roeckx]
373
374 *) Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
375 EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
376 util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
377 [Paul Yang, Joshua Lock]
378
379 *) Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
380 [Matt Caswell]
381
382 *) Have apps like 's_client' and 's_server' output the signature scheme
383 along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
384 [Lorinczy Zsigmond]
385
386 *) Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
387 [Richard Levitte]
388
389 *) Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
390 [Bernd Edlinger]
391
392 *) Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
393
394 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
395 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
396 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
397 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
398 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
399 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
400 additional leading bytes are ignored.
401
402 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
403 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
404 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
405 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
406 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
407 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
408 messages with a reused nonce.
409
410 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
411 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
412 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
413 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
414 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
415 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
416 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
417
418 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
419 Greef of Ronomon.
420 (CVE-2019-1543)
421 [Matt Caswell]
422
423 *) Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
424
425 On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not available,
426 OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for seeding its CSPRNG.
427 Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom device will not block during
428 early boot when the kernel CSPRNG has not been seeded yet.
429
430 To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/random to
431 become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
432
433 *) Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
434 [Paul Yang]
435
436 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
437
438 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
439 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
440 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
441 to affine coordinates.
442 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
443
444 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
445 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
446 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
447 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
448 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
449 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
450 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
451 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
452 applications.
453 [Matt Caswell]
454
455 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
456 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
457 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
458 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
459 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
460 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
461
462 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
463 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
464 [Bernd Edlinger]
465
466 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
467 [Richard Levitte]
468
469 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
470 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
471 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
472 [Richard Levitte]
473
474 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
475
476 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
477
478 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
479 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
480 algorithm to recover the private key.
481
482 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
483 (CVE-2018-0734)
484 [Paul Dale]
485
486 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
487
488 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
489 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
490 algorithm to recover the private key.
491
492 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
493 (CVE-2018-0735)
494 [Paul Dale]
495
496 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
497 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
498 are retained for backwards compatibility.
499 [Antoine Salon]
500
501 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
502 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
503 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
504
505 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
506 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
507 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
508 provided by the application.
509
510 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
511
512 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
513 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
514 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
515 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
516 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
517 of the ClientHello
518 [Benjamin Kaduk]
519
520 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
521 [Jack Lloyd]
522
523 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
524 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
525 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
526 [Patrick Steuer]
527
528 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
529 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
530 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
531 [Richard Levitte]
532
533 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
534 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
535 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
536 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
537 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
538 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
539 to work in projective coordinates.
540 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
541
542 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
543 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
544 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
545 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
546 to 2^-128.
547 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
548
549 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
550 [Kurt Roeckx]
551
552 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
553 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
554 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
555 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
556 [Richard Levitte]
557
558 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
559 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
560 [Andy Polyakov]
561
562 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
563 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
564 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
565 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
566 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
567
568 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
569 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
570 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
571 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
572 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
573 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
574
575 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
576 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
577 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
578 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
579 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
580 [Paul Dale]
581
582 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
583 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
584 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
585 authors.
586 [Matt Caswell]
587
588 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
589 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
590 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
591 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
592 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
593 multi-version installation is managed.
594 [Andy Polyakov]
595
596 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
597 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
598 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
599 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
600 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
601 [Billy Bob Brumley]
602
603 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
604 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
605 chosen point SCA attacks.
606 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
607
608 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
609 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
610 [Matt Caswell]
611
612 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
613 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
614 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
615 [Matt Caswell]
616
617 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
618 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
619 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
620 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
621 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
622 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
623 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
624 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
625 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
626 [Kurt Roeckx]
627
628 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
629 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
630 [Richard Levitte]
631
632 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
633 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
634 [Billy Bob Brumley]
635
636 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
637 binary and prime elliptic curves.
638 [Billy Bob Brumley]
639
640 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
641 constant time fixed point multiplication.
642 [Billy Bob Brumley]
643
644 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
645 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
646 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
647 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
648 ECDH derive operations).
649 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
650 Sohaib ul Hassan]
651
652 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
653 [Rich Salz]
654
655 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
656 randomness from the system.
657 [Matthias St. Pierre]
658
659 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
660 [Richard Levitte]
661
662 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
663 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
664 [Matt Caswell]
665
666 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
667 [Matt Caswell]
668
669 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
670 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
671
672 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
673 [Richard Levitte]
674
675 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
676 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
677 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
678 [Matt Caswell]
679
680 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
681 stack.
682 [Rich Salz]
683
684 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
685 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
686 [Bernd Edlinger]
687
688 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
689 [Matt Caswell]
690
691 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
692 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
693 [Matthias St. Pierre]
694
695 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
696 for the license change).
697 [Rich Salz]
698
699 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
700 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
701 [Matt Caswell]
702
703 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
704 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
705 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
706 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
707 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
708 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
709 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
710 [Matt Caswell]
711
712 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
713 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
714 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
715 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
716 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
717 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
718 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
719 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
720 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
721 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
722 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
723 written to stderr.
724 [Viktor Dukhovni]
725
726 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
727 Mike Hamburg.
728 [Matt Caswell]
729
730 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
731 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
732 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
733 get the search data out of them.
734 [Richard Levitte]
735
736 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
737 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
738 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
739 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
740 [Matt Caswell]
741
742 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
743
744 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
745 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
746 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
747 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
748 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
749 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
750
751 Some of its new features are:
752 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
753 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
754 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
755 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
756 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
757 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
758 operation
759 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
760
761 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
762 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
763 to display all sorts of configuration data.
764 [Richard Levitte]
765
766 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
767 [Richard Levitte]
768
769 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
770 [Paul Dale]
771
772 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
773 now been removed.
774 [Rich Salz]
775
776 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
777 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
778 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
779 debug (or make silent).
780 [Richard Levitte]
781
782 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
783 arguments to config / Configure.
784 [Richard Levitte]
785
786 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
787 [Paul Yang]
788
789 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
790 [ Jack Lloyd <[email protected]>,
791 Ronald Tse <[email protected]>,
792 Erick Borsboom <[email protected]> ]
793
794 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
795 as documented in RFC6066.
796 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
797 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
798
799 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
800 [ Jack Lloyd <[email protected]>,
801 Ronald Tse <[email protected]>,
802 Erick Borsboom <[email protected]> ]
803
804 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
805 original author does not agree with the license change.
806 [Rich Salz]
807
808 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
809 [Jon Spillett]
810
811 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
812 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
813 [Rich Salz]
814
815 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
816 without clearing the errors.
817 [Richard Levitte]
818
819 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
820 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
821 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
822 [Rich Salz]
823
824 *) Add SHA3.
825 [Andy Polyakov]
826
827 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
828 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
829 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
830 as a fallback).
831
832 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
833 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
834 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
835 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
836 [Richard Levitte]
837
838 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
839 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
840 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
841 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
842 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
843 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
844 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
845 [Richard Levitte]
846
847 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
848 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
849 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
850 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
851 [Richard Levitte]
852
853 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
854 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
855 error code calls like this:
856
857 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
858
859 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
860 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
861 affect new modules.
862 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
863
864 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
865 [Rich Salz]
866
867 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
868 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
869 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
870 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
871 [Richard Levitte]
872
873 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
874 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
875 than just the call where this user data is passed.
876 [Richard Levitte]
877
878 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
879 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
880 [Tomas Mraz <[email protected]>]
881
882 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
883 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
884 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
885 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
886 prohibits this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
887 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
888 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause interoperability
889 issues.
890 [Matt Caswell]
891
892 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
893 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
894 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
895 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
896 [Richard Levitte]
897
898 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
899 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
900 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
901
902 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
903 does for RSA, etc.
904 [Richard Levitte]
905
906 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
907 platform rather than 'mingw'.
908 [Richard Levitte]
909
910 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
911 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
912 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
913 certificates and CRLs.
914 [Paul Dale]
915
916 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
917 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
918 [Andy Polyakov]
919
920 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
921 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
922 [Richard Levitte]
923
924 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
925 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
926 which is the minimum version we support.
927 [Richard Levitte]
928
929 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
930 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
931 are no longer allowed.
932 [Emilia Käsper]
933
934 *) Add support for ARIA
935 [Paul Dale]
936
937 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
938 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
939 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
940 using "-servername".
941 [Matt Caswell]
942
943 *) Add support for SipHash
944 [Todd Short]
945
946 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
947 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
948 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
949 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
950 [Matt Caswell]
951
952 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
953 using the algorithm defined in
954 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
955 [Richard Levitte]
956
957 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
958 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
959
960 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
961 [Emilia Käsper]
962
963 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
964 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
965 [Rich Salz]
966
967
968 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
969
970 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
971
972 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
973 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
974 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
975 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
976 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
977
978 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
979 (CVE-2018-0732)
980 [Guido Vranken]
981
982 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
983
984 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
985 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
986 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
987 recover the private key.
988
989 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
990 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
991 (CVE-2018-0737)
992 [Billy Brumley]
993
994 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
995 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
996 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
997 [Richard Levitte]
998
999 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
1000 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
1001 [Andy Polyakov]
1002
1003 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
1004 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
1005 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
1006 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
1007 to 2^-128.
1008 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
1009
1010 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
1011 [Kurt Roeckx]
1012
1013 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
1014 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
1015 [Matt Caswell]
1016
1017 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
1018 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
1019 [Richard Levitte]
1020
1021 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1022 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1023 are no longer allowed.
1024 [Emilia Käsper]
1025
1026 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
1027
1028 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
1029 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
1030 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
1031 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
1032 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
1033 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
1034 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
1035 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
1036 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
1037 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
1038 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
1039 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
1040 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).

1043 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1044
1045 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1046
1047 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1048 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1049 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1050 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1051 so this is considered safe.
1052
1053 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1054 project.
1055 (CVE-2018-0739)
1056 [Matt Caswell]
1057
1058 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1059
1060 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1061 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1062 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1063 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1064 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1065 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1066
1067 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1068 (IBM).
1069 (CVE-2018-0733)
1070 [Andy Polyakov]
1071
1072 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1073 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1074 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1075 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1076 [Richard Levitte]
1077
1078 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1079
1080 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1081 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1082 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1083 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1084 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1085
1086 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1087 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1088 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1089 [Matt Caswell]
1090
1091 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1092 exist.
1093 [Rich Salz]
1094
1095 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1096
1097 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1098 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1099 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1100 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1101 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1102 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1103 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1104 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1105 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1106 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1107
1108 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1109 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1110
1111 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1112 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.

1115
1116 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1117
1118 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1119
1120 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1121 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1122 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1123 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1124 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1125 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1126 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1127 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1128 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1129 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1130 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1131
1132 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1133 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1134
1135 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1136 (CVE-2017-3736)
1137 [Andy Polyakov]
1138
1139 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1140
1141 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1142 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1143 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1144
1145 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1146 (CVE-2017-3735)
1147 [Rich Salz]
1148
1149 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1150
1151 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1152 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1153 [Richard Levitte]
1154
1155 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1156 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1157 which is the minimum version we support.

1159
1160 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1161
1162 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1163
1164 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1165 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1166 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1167 and servers are affected.
1168
1169 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).

1173 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1174
1175 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1176
1177 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1178 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1179 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1180
1181 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1182 (CVE-2017-3731)
1183 [Andy Polyakov]
1184
1185 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1186
1187 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1188 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1189 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1190 of Service attack.
1191
1192 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1193 (CVE-2017-3730)
1194 [Matt Caswell]
1195
1196 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1197
1198 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1199 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1200 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1201 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1202 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1203 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1204 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1205 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1206 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1207 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1208 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1209 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1210 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1211
1212 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1216 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1217
1218 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1219
1220 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1221 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1222 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1223
1224 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1225 (CVE-2016-7054)
1226 [Richard Levitte]
1227
1228 *) CMS Null dereference
1229
1230 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1231 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1232 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1233 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1234 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1235 affected.
1236
1237 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1238 (CVE-2016-7053)
1239 [Stephen Henson]
1240
1241 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1242
1243 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1244 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1245 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1246 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1247 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1248 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1249 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1250 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1251 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1252 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1253 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1254 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1255 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1256 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1257
1258 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1259 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1260 providing reproducible case.
1261 (CVE-2016-7055)
1262 [Andy Polyakov]
1263
1264 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1265 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1266 [Richard Levitte]
1267
1268 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1269
1270 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1271
1272 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1273 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1274 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1275 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1276 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1277 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1278
1279 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

1281 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.

1285 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1286
1287 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1288
1289 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1290 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1291 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1292 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1293 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1294 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1295 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1298 (CVE-2016-6304)
1299 [Matt Caswell]
1300
1301 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1302
1303 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1304 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1305 Denial Of Service attack.
1306
1307 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1308 (CVE-2016-6305)
1309 [Matt Caswell]
1310
1311 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1312 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1313
1314 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1315 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1316 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1317 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1318 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1319 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1320 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1321 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1322 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1323 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1324 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1325 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1326 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1327 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1328 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1329
1330 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1331 that the connection fails
1332 or
1333 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1334 very little free memory
1335 or
1336 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1337 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1338 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1339 memory to service the multiple requests.
1340
1341 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1342 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1343 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1344 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1345 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1347 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1348 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1349 [Matt Caswell]
1350
1351 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1352 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1353 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1354 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1355 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1356 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1357 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1358 [Andy Polyakov]
1359
1360 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1361
1362 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1363 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1364 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1365 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1366 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1367 non-ASCII password.
1368 [Andy Polyakov]
1369
1370 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1371 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1372 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1373 [Rich Salz]
1374
1375 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1376 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1377 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1378 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1379 [Matt Caswell]
1380
1381 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1382 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1383 success.
1384 [Matt Caswell]
1385
1386 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1387 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1388 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1389 no-ops and deprecated.
1390 [Matt Caswell]
1391
1392 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1393 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1394 were also closed.
1395 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1396
1397 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1398 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1399 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1400 [Rich Salz]
1401
1402 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1403 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1404 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1405 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1406 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1407 and the validity of object reference counter.
1408 [[email protected]]
1409
1410 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1411 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1412 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1413 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1414 [Richard Levitte]
1415
1416 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1417 [Richard Levitte]
1418
1419 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1420 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1421 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1422 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1423
1424 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1425
1426 [Richard Levitte]
1427
1428 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1429 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1430 [Steve Henson]
1431
1432 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1433 [Andy Polyakov]
1434
1435 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1436 [Rich Salz]
1437
1438 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1439 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1440 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1441 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1442 name and is used as is.
1443 [Richard Levitte]
1444
1445 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1446 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1447 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1448 [Rich Salz]
1449
1450 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1451 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1452 [Matt Caswell]
1453
1454 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1455 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1456 algorithms.
1457 [Matt Caswell]
1458
1459 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1460 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1461 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1462 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1463 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1464 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1465 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1466 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1467 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1468 [Matt Caswell]
1469
1470 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1471 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1472 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1473 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1474
1475 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1476 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1477 these have been added.
1478 [Matt Caswell]
1479
1480 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1481 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1482 functions for managing these have been added.
1483 [Richard Levitte]
1484
1485 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1486 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1487 these have been added.
1488 [Matt Caswell]
1489
1490 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1491 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1492 have been added.
1493 [Matt Caswell]
1494
1495 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1496 [Matt Caswell]
1497
1498 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1499 [Richard Levitte]
1500
1501 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1502 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1503 [Rich Salz]
1504
1505 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1506 [Richard Levitte]
1507
1508 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1509 [Rich Salz]
1510
1511 *) Add support for HKDF.
1512 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1513
1514 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1515 [Bill Cox]
1516
1517 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1518 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1519 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1520 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1521 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1522 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1523 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1524 [Matt Caswell]
1525
1526 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1527 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1528 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1529 [Catriona Lucey]
1530
1531 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1532 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1533 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1534 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1535 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1536 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1537 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1538
1539 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1540 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1541 [Todd Short]
1542
1543 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1544 [Todd Short]
1545
1546 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1547 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1548 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1549 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1550 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1551 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1552 default cipherlist.
1553 [Emilia Käsper]
1554
1555 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1556 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1557 [Rich Salz]
1558
1559 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1560 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1561 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1562 [Matt Caswell]
1563
1564 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1565 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1566 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1567 implemented by other servers.
1568 [Emilia Käsper]
1569
1570 *) Add X25519 support.
1571 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1572 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1573 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1574 key generation and key derivation.
1575
1576 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1577 X25519(29).
1578 [Steve Henson]
1579
1580 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1581 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1582 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1583 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1584 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1585
1586 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1587 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1588 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1589 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1590 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1591 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1592 that of a valid user.
1593 [Emilia Käsper]
1594
1595 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1596 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1597 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1598 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1599
1600 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1601 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1602
1603 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1604 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1605 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1606 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1607
1608 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1609 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1610 irrelevant.
1611 [Richard Levitte]
1612
1613 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1614 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1615 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1616 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1617 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1618 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1619
1620 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1621 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1622 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1623 [Richard Levitte]
1624
1625 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1626 [Rich Salz]
1627
1628 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1629 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1630 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1631 removed.
1632 [Richard Levitte]
1633
1634 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1635 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1636 old #define's might need to be updated.
1637 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1638
1639 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1640 [Rich Salz]
1641
1642 *) New "unified" build system
1643
1644 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1645 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1646
1647 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1648 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1649 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1650
1651 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1652 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1653 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1654 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1655 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1656
1657 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1658 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1659 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1660 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1661 libraries" in INSTALL.
1662
1663 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1664 [Richard Levitte]
1665
1666 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1667 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1668 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1669 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1670 [Matt Caswell]
1671
1672 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1673 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1674
1675 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1676 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1677 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1678 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1679 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1680 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1681 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1682 have been adapted accordingly.
1683 [Richard Levitte]
1684
1685 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1686 the leading 0-byte.
1687 [Emilia Käsper]
1688
1689 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1690 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1691 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1692 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1693 [Emilia Käsper]
1694
1695 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1696 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1697 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1698 'unsigned char*'.
1699 [Emilia Käsper]
1700
1701 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1702 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1703 [Emilia Käsper]
1704
1705 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1706 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1707 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1708 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1709 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1710 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1711 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1712
1713 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1714 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1715
1716 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1717 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1718 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1719 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1720 Text::Template.
1721
1722 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1723 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1724 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1725 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1726 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1727 %target).
1728 [Richard Levitte]
1729
1730 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1731 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1732 straightforward and less interdependent.
1733
1734 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1735 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1736 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1737
1738 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1739 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1740 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1741 installed.
1742 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1743 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1744 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1745 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1746
1747 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1748 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1749 [Richard Levitte]
1750
1751 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1752 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1753 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1754 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1755 is present).
1756 [Matt Caswell]
1757
1758 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1759 configuring.
1760 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1761
1762 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1763 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1764 before trying to build now.*
1765 [Rich Salz]
1766
1767 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1768 has changed.
1769 [Rich Salz]
1770
1771 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1772
1773 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1774 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1775 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1776 used to authenticate the peer.
1777
1778 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1779 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1780 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1781 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1782 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1783 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1784
1785 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1786 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1787 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1788 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1789 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1790 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1791
1792 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1793 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1794 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1795 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1796 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1797 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1798 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1799 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1800 version.
1801
1802 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1803 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1804 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1805 compile with later releases.
1806
1807 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1808 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1809 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1810 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1811 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1812 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1813
1814 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1815 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1816 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1817 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1818 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1819 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1820 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1821 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1822 [Kurt Roeckx]
1823
1824 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1825 [Andy Polyakov]
1826
1827 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1828 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1829 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1830 ECDSA_SIG format.
1831
1832 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1833 include the ec.h header file instead.
1834 [Steve Henson]
1835
1836 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1837 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1838 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1839 [Kurt Roeckx]
1840
1841 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1842 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1843 were added:
1844
1845 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1846 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1847
1848 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1849 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1850 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1851
1852 Additional changes:
1853 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1854 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1855 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1856 an already created structure.
1857 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1858 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1859 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1860 for deprecated builds.
1861 [Richard Levitte]
1862
1863 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1864 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1865 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1866 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1867 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1868 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1869 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1870 [Matt Caswell]
1871
1872 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1873 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1874 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1875 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1876 [Kurt Roeckx]
1877
1878 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1879 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1880 [Kurt Roeckx]
1881
1882 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1883 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1884 [Kurt Roeckx]
1885
1886 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1887 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1888 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1889 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1890 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1891 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1892 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1893 also been removed.
1894 [Matt Caswell]
1895
1896 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1897 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1898 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1899 [Rich Salz]
1900
1901 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1902 [Rich Salz]
1903
1904 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1905 sureware and ubsec.
1906 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1907
1908 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1909
1910 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1911 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1912
1913 FOO *x;
1914
1915 it must be:
1916
1917 FOO x;
1918
1919 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1920 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1921
1922 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1923 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1924 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1925 SEQUENCE OF.
1926 [Steve Henson]
1927
1928 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1929 [Emilia Käsper]
1930
1931 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1932 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1933 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1934 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1935 [Matt Caswell]
1936
1937 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1938 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1939 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1940 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1941 [Emilia Käsper]
1942
1943 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1944 [ David Woodhouse <[email protected]> and also
1945 Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> ]
1946
1947 *) New testing framework
1948 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1949 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1950 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1951 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1952 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1953 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1954
1955 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1956
1957 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1958 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1959
1960 [Richard Levitte]
1961
1962 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1963 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1964 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1965 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1966 [Rich Salz]
1967
1968 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1969 return an error
1970 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <[email protected]>]
1971
1972 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1973 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1974
1975 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1976 original RSA_PSK patch.
1977 [Steve Henson]
1978
1979 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1980 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1981 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1982 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1983 [Matt Caswell]
1984
1985 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1986 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1987 [Richard Levitte]
1988
1989 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1990 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1991 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1992 [Emilia Käsper]
1993
1994 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1995 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1996 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1997 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1998 transferred.
1999 [Matt Caswell]
2000
2001 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
2002 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
2003 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
2004 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
2005 [Matt Caswell]
2006
2007 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
2008 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
2009 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
2010 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
2011 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
2012 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
2013 [Matt Caswell]
2014
2015 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
2016 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
2017 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
2018 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
2019 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
2020 header file has been removed.
2021 [Matt Caswell]
2022
2023 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
2024 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
2025 [Matt Caswell]
2026
2027 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
2028 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
2029 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
2030
2031 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
2032 Added a test.
2033 [Rich Salz]
2034
2035 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
2036 [Rich Salz]
2037
2038 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
2039 sha256
2040 [Rich Salz]
2041
2042 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
2043 [Matt Caswell]
2044
2045 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2046 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2047 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2048 [Steve Henson]
2049
2050 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2051 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2052 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2053 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2054 [Matt Caswell]
2055
2056 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2057 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2058 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2059 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2060 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2061 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2062 [Matt Caswell]
2063
2064 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2065 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2066 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2067 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2068 [Matt Caswell]
2069
2070 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2071 compatible client hello.
2072 [Kurt Roeckx]
2073
2074 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2075 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2076 [Annie Yousar <[email protected]>]
2077
2078 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2079 [Rich Salz]
2080
2081 *) Removed old DES API.
2082 [Rich Salz]
2083
2084 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2085 Sony NEWS4
2086 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2087 NeXT
2088 SUNOS
2089 MPE/iX
2090 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2091 DGUX
2092 NCR
2093 Tandem
2094 Cray
2095 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2096 [Rich Salz]
2097
2098 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2099 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2100 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2101 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2102 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2103 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2104 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2105 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2106 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2107 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2108 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2109 [Rich Salz]
2110
2111 *) Cleaned up dead code
2112 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2113 [Rich Salz]
2114
2115 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2116 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2117 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2118 [Rich Salz]
2119
2120 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2121 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2122 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2123 [Rich Salz]
2124
2125 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2126 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2127 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <[email protected]>]
2128
2129 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2130 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2131 [Martin Kaiser <[email protected]>]
2132
2133 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2134 compilation flags.
2135 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2136
2137 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2138 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2139 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2140
2141 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2142 [mancha <[email protected]>]
2143
2144 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2145 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2146 server.
2147
2148 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2149 Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Bodo Moeller <[email protected]> for
2150 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2151 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2152
2153 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2154 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2155 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2156 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2157
2158 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2159 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2160 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2161
2162 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2163 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2164 [Steve Henson]
2165
2166 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2167
2168 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2169 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2170
2171 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2172 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2173
2174 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2175 effect.
2176
2177 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2178
2179 [Steve Henson]
2180
2181 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2182 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2183 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2184 algorithms and include tests cases.
2185 [Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2188 enveloped data.
2189 [Steve Henson]
2190
2191 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2192 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2193 [Steve Henson]
2194
2195 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2196 [Chris Palmer <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
2197
2198 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2199 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2203 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2204 failures.
2205 [Steve Henson]
2206
2207 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2208 sign or verify all in one operation.
2209 [Steve Henson]
2210
2211 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2212 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2213 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2214 [Steve Henson]
2215
2216 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2217 [Steve Henson]
2218
2219 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2220 [Steve Henson]
2221
2222 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2223 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2224 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2225 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2226 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2227 [Steve Henson]
2228
2229 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2230 based on NID.
2231 [Steve Henson]
2232
2233 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2234 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2235 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2236 [Steve Henson]
2237
2238 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2239 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2240
2241 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2242 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2243 [Steve Henson]
2244
2245 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2246 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2247 [Steve Henson]
2248
2249 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2250 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2251 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2252 [Steve Henson]
2253
2254 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2255 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2256 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2257 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2258 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2259 requested amount of entropy.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2263 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2264 [Steve Henson]
2265
2266 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2267 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2268 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2269 support.
2270 [Steve Henson]
2271
2272 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2273 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2274 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2275 [Steve Henson]
2276
2277 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2278 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2279 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2280 will never use XTS mode.
2281 [Steve Henson]
2282
2283 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2284 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2285 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2286 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2287 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2288 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2292 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2293 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2294 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2295 [Steve Henson]
2296
2297 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2298 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2299 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2300 [Steve Henson]
2301
2302 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2303 [Steve Henson]
2304
2305 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2306 [Steve Henson]
2307
2308 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2309 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2310 [Steve Henson]
2311
2312 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2313 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2314 [Steve Henson]
2315
2316 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2317 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2318 [Steve Henson]
2319
2320 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2321 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2322 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2323 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2324 and rename any affected symbols.
2325 [Steve Henson]
2326
2327 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2328 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2329 [Steve Henson]
2330
2331 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2332 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2333 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2334 [Steve Henson]
2335
2336 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2337 [Steve Henson]
2338
2339 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2340 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2341 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2342 [Steve Henson]
2343
2344 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2345 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2346 [Steve Henson]
2347
2348 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2349 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2350 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2351 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2352 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2353 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2354 set before the key.
2355 [Steve Henson]
2356
2357 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2358 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2359 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2360 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2361 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2362 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2363 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2364 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2365 [Steve Henson]
2366
2367 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2368 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2369 [Steve Henson]
2370
2371 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2372
2373 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2374 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2375
2376 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2377 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2378 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2379 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2380 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2381 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2382
2383 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2384 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2385 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2386 security.
2387 [Emilia Käsper <[email protected]> (Google)]
2388
2389 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2390 parameters by name.
2391 [Steve Henson]
2392
2393 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2394 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2398 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2399 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2400 [Steve Henson]
2401
2402 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2403 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2404 multi-process servers.
2405 [Steve Henson]
2406
2407 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2408 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2409 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2410 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2411 RAND_METHOD structure.
2412 [Steve Henson]
2413
2414 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2415 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2416 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2417 whose return value is often ignored.
2418 [Steve Henson]
2419
2420 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2421 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2422 validated when establishing a connection.
2423 [Rob Percival <[email protected]>]
2424
2425 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2426
2427 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2428
2429 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2430 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2431 AES-NI.
2432
2433 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2434 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2435 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2436 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2437 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2438 bytes.
2439
2440 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2441 (CVE-2016-2107)
2442 [Kurt Roeckx]
2443
2444 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2445
2446 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2447 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2448 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2449 corruption.
2450
2451 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2452 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2453 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2454 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2455 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2456 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2457
2458 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2459 (CVE-2016-2105)
2460 [Matt Caswell]

2462 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2463
2464 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2465 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2466 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2467 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2468 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2469 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2470 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2471 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2472 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2473 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2474 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2475 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2476 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2477 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2478 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2479 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

2483 [Matt Caswell]
2484
2485 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2486
2487 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2488 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2489 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2490
2491 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2492 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2493 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2494 applications are not affected.

2500 *) EBCDIC overread
2501
2502 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2503 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2504 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

2522 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2523
2524 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2525 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2526 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2527 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2528
2529 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2530 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2531 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2532 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2533 will need to explicitly call either of:
2534
2535 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2536 or
2537 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2538
2539 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2540 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2541 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2542 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2543 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

2546
2547 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2548
2549 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2550 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2551 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2552 considered rare.
2553
2554 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2555 libFuzzer.
2556 (CVE-2016-0705)
2557 [Stephen Henson]
2558
2559 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2560
2561 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2562
2563 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2564 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2565 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2566 is configured.
2567
2568 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2569 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2570 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2571 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2572 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2573 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2574 that of a valid user.
2575 (CVE-2016-0798)
2576 [Emilia Käsper]
2577
2578 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2579
2580 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2581 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2582 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2583 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2584 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2585 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2586 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2587 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2588 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2589 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2590 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2591
2592 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2593 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2594 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2595 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2596 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

2598 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2599 (CVE-2016-0797)
2600 [Matt Caswell]
2601
2602 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2603
2604 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2605 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2606 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2607
2608 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2609 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2610 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2611 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2612 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2613 also occur.
2614
2615 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2616 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2617 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2618 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2619 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2620 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2621 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2622 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2623 as command line arguments.
2624
2625 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2626 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2627 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2628

2633 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2634
2635 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2636 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2637 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2638 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2639 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2640
2641 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

2653
2654 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2655 *) DH small subgroups
2656
2657 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2658 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2659 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2660 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2661 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2662 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2663 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2664 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2665 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2666 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2667
2668 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2669 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2670 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2671 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2672 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2673
2674 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2675 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2676 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2677 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2678
2679 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2680 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

2690 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2691 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2700 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2701
2702 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2703 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2704 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2705 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2706 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2707 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2708 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2709 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2710 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2711 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2712 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2713 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2720
2721 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2722 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2723 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2724 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2725 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2726 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is

2759
2760 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2761 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2762 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2763 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2764 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2765 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2782 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2783 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2784 field.
2785
2786 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2787 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2788 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with

2797 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2798 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2799 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2800 time string.
2801
2802 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2803 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2804 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2805 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2806 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification

2863
2864 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2865
2866 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2867 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2868 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2869 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2870 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2871 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2872 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2873 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.

2877 [Matt Caswell]
2878
2879 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2880
2881 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2882 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2883 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2884 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2885 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2886 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2887 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2888 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2889 server.

2897 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2898 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2899 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any

2924 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2925
2926 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY

2949 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2950 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2951 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2952
2953 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2954 (OpenSSL development team).
2955 (CVE-2015-0293)
2956 [Emilia Käsper]
2957
2958 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2959
2960 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2961 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2962 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2963 (CVE-2015-1787)
2964 [Matt Caswell]
2965
2966 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2967
2968 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2969 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2970 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2971 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2972 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2973 SSL_client_methodv23)
2974 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2975 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2976
2977 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2978 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2979 output may be predictable.
2980
2981 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2982 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2983
2984 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2985 (CVE-2015-0285)
2986 [Matt Caswell]
2987
2988 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2989
2990 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2991 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2992 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2993 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2994 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2995 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2996
2997 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2998 commit 517073cd4b.
2999 (CVE-2015-0209)
3000 [Matt Caswell]
3001
3002 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
3003
3004 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
3005 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
3006
3007 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
3008 (CVE-2015-0288)
3009 [Stephen Henson]
3010
3011 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
3012 [Kurt Roeckx]
3013
3014 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
3015
3016 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
3017 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
3018 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
3019 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
3020 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
3021 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
3022 [Andy Polyakov]
3023
3024 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
3025 (other platforms pending).
3026 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
3027
3028 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
3029 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
3030 [Rob Stradling]
3031
3032 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3033 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3034 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3035 [Bodo Moeller]
3036
3037 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
3038 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
3039 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
3040 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
3041 [Andy Polyakov]
3042
3043 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
3044 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
3045
3046 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3047 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3048 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3049 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3050 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3051
3052 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3053 [Andy Polyakov]
3054
3055 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3056 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3057 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3058 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3059
3060 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3061 RSAZ.
3062 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3063
3064 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3065 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3066 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3067 for TLS encrypt.
3068
3069 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3070 [Andy Polyakov]
3071
3072 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3073 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3074 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3075 [Steve Henson]
3076
3077 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3078 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3079 [Steve Henson]
3080
3081 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3082 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3083 [Steve Henson]
3084
3085 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3086 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3087 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3088 algorithms and include tests cases.
3089 [Steve Henson]
3090
3091 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3092 structure.
3093 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3094
3095 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3096 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3097 [Steve Henson]
3098
3099 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3100 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3101 summary of the connection parameters.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3105 of connection parameters.
3106 [Steve Henson]
3107
3108 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3109 [Trevor Perrin <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3110
3111 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3112 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3113 [Steve Henson]
3114
3115 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3116 [Steve Henson]
3117
3118 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3119 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3120 [Steve Henson]
3121
3122 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3123 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3124 [Steve Henson]
3125
3126 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3127 certificates.
3128 [Steve Henson]
3129
3130 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3131 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3132 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3133 [Steve Henson]
3134
3135 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3136 [Steve Henson]
3137
3138 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3139 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3140 [Steve Henson]
3141
3142 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3143 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3144 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3145 tracing.
3146 [Steve Henson]
3147
3148 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3149 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3150 [Steve Henson]
3151
3152 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3153 OID NID.
3154 [Steve Henson]
3155
3156 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3157 client to OpenSSL.
3158 [Steve Henson]
3159
3160 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3161 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3162 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3163 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3164 [Steve Henson]
3165
3166 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3167 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3168 [Steve Henson]
3169
3170 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3171 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3172 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3173 comparison.
3174 [Steve Henson]
3175
3176 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3177 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3178 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3179 use the certificate.
3180 [Steve Henson]
3181
3182 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3183 [Steve Henson]
3184
3185 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3186 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3187 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3188 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3189 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3190 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3191 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3192
3193 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3194 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3195
3196 [Steve Henson]
3197
3198 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3199 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3200 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3201 [Steve Henson]
3202
3203 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3204 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3205 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3206 supported signature algorithms.
3207 [Steve Henson]
3208
3209 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3213 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3214 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3215 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3216 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3217 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3218 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3219 [Steve Henson]
3220
3221 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3222 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3223 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3224 to have similar checks in it.
3225
3226 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3227 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3228 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3229 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3230 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3231 [Steve Henson]
3232
3233 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3234 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3235 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3236 shared signature algorithms.
3237 [Steve Henson]
3238
3239 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3240 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3241 to support them.
3242 [Steve Henson]
3243
3244 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3245 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3246 it couldn't be removed.
3247 [Steve Henson]
3248
3249 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3250 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3251 [Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3254 functions. Add manual page.
3255 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3256
3257 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3258 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3259 a certificate.
3260 [Steve Henson]
3261
3262 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3263 [Rob Stradling <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3264
3265 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3266 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3267 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3268 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3269 utility) or reject.
3270 [Steve Henson]
3271
3272 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3273 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3274 [Steve Henson]
3275
3276 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3277 platform support for Linux and Android.
3278 [Andy Polyakov]
3279
3280 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3281 [Andy Polyakov]
3282
3283 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3284 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3285 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3286 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3287 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3288 [Steve Henson]
3289
3290 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3291 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3292 the new parameter format automatically.
3293 [Steve Henson]
3294
3295 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3296 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3297 [Steve Henson]
3298
3299 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3300 [Steve Henson]
3301
3302 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3303 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3304 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3305 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3306 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3307 [Steve Henson]
3308
3309 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3310 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3311 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3312 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3313 to set list of supported curves.
3314 [Steve Henson]
3315
3316 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3317 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3318 to print out received values.
3319 [Steve Henson]
3320
3321 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3322 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3323 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3327 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3328 [Steve Henson]
3329
3330 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3331 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3332 [Steve Henson]
3333
3334 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3335 certificates.
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3339 the certificate.
3340 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3341 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3342 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3343
3344 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3345
3346 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3347 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3348
3349 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3350
3351 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3352 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3353 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3354 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3355 (CVE-2014-3571)
3356 [Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3359 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3360 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3361 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3362 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3363 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3364 (CVE-2015-0206)
3365 [Matt Caswell]
3366
3367 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3368 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3369 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3370 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3371 (CVE-2014-3569)
3372 [Kurt Roeckx]
3373
3374 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3375 ECDH ciphersuites.
3376
3377 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3378 reporting this issue.
3379 (CVE-2014-3572)
3380 [Steve Henson]
3381
3382 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3383 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3384 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3385 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3386 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3387 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3388 (CVE-2015-0204)
3389 [Steve Henson]
3390
3391 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3392 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3393 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3394 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3395 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3396 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3397 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3398 this issue.
3399 (CVE-2015-0205)
3400 [Steve Henson]
3401
3402 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3403 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3404
3405 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3406 and can vary with the CTX.
3407 [Adam Langley]
3408
3409 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3410
3411 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3412 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3413 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3414 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3415 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3416
3417 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3418
3419 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3420 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3421
3422 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3423
3424 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3425 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3426 errors for some broken certificates.
3427
3428 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3429
3430 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3431
3432 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3433 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3434
3435 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3436 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3437 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3438 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3439
3440 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3441 of the OpenSSL core team.
3442
3443 (CVE-2014-8275)
3444 [Steve Henson]
3445
3446 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3447 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3448 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3449 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3450 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3451 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3452 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3453 the OpenSSL core team.
3454 (CVE-2014-3570)
3455 [Andy Polyakov]
3456
3457 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3458 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3459 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3460 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3461 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3462
3463 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3464 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3465 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3466 [Emilia Käsper]
3467
3468 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3469 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3470 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3471 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3472 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3473
3474 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3475 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3476 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3477 [Emilia Käsper]
3478
3479 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3480
3481 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3482
3483 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3484 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3485 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3486 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3487 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3488 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3489 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3490
3491 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3492 (CVE-2014-3513)
3493 [OpenSSL team]
3494
3495 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3496
3497 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3498 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3499 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3500 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3501 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3502 attack.
3503 (CVE-2014-3567)
3504 [Steve Henson]
3505
3506 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3507
3508 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3509 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3510 configured to send them.
3511 (CVE-2014-3568)
3512 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3513
3514 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3515 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3516 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3517 (CVE-2014-3566)
3518 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3519
3520 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3521
3522 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3523 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3524 DigestInfo structures.
3525
3526 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3527
3528 [Steve Henson]
3529
3530 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3531
3532 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3533 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3534 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3535
3536 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3537 Group for discovering this issue.
3538 (CVE-2014-3512)
3539 [Steve Henson]
3540
3541 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3542 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3543 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3544 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3545 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3546
3547 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3548 researching this issue.
3549 (CVE-2014-3511)
3550 [David Benjamin]
3551
3552 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3553 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3554 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3555 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3556
3557 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3558 issue.
3559 (CVE-2014-3510)
3560 [Emilia Käsper]
3561
3562 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3563 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3564 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3565 (CVE-2014-3507)
3566 [Adam Langley]
3567
3568 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3569 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3570 Denial of Service attack.
3571 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3572 (CVE-2014-3506)
3573 [Adam Langley]
3574
3575 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3576 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3577 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3578 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3579 this issue.
3580 (CVE-2014-3505)
3581 [Adam Langley]
3582
3583 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3584 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3585 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3586
3587 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3588 issue.
3589 (CVE-2014-3509)
3590 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3591
3592 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3593 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3594 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3595 Denial of Service attack.
3596
3597 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3598 discovering and researching this issue.
3599 (CVE-2014-5139)
3600 [Steve Henson]
3601
3602 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3603 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3604 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3605 output to the attacker.
3606
3607 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3608 (CVE-2014-3508)
3609 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3610
3611 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3612 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3613 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3614 [Bodo Moeller]
3615
3616 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3617
3618 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3619 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3620 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3621
3622 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3623 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3624 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3625
3626 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3627 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3628 in a DoS attack.
3629
3630 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3631 (CVE-2014-0221)
3632 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3633
3634 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3635 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3636 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3637 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3638
3639 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3640 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3641
3642 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3643 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3644
3645 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3646 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3647 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3650 compilation flags.
3651 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3652
3653 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3654 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3655 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3656
3657 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3658 [mancha <[email protected]>]
3659
3660 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3661
3662 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3663 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3664 server.
3665
3666 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3667 Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Bodo Moeller <[email protected]> for
3668 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3669 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3670
3671 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3672 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3673 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3674 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3675
3676 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3677 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3678 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3679
3680 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3681
3682 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3683 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3684 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3685 is at least 512 bytes long.
3686
3687 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3688
3689 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3690
3691 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3692 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3693 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3694 (CVE-2013-4353)
3695
3696 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3697 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3698 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3699 [Steve Henson]
3700
3701 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3702 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3703 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3704 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3705 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3706 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3707 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3708
3709 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3710
3711 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3712 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3713 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3714
3715 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3716
3717 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3718
3719 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3720 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3721 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3722
3723 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3724 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3725 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3726 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3727 (CVE-2013-0169)
3728 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3731 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3732 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <[email protected]> for discovering
3733 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3734 <[email protected]> for independently discovering this issue.
3735 (CVE-2012-2686)
3736 [Adam Langley]
3737
3738 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3739 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3740 [Steve Henson]
3741
3742 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3743 [Chris Palmer <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3744
3745 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3746 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3747 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3748 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3749 [Rob Stradling <[email protected]>]
3750
3751 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3752 [Steve Henson]
3753
3754 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3755 if renegotiating.
3756 [Steve Henson]
3757
3758 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3759
3760 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3761 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3762
3763 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3764 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3765 (CVE-2012-2333)
3766 [Steve Henson]
3767
3768 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3769 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3770 [Steve Henson]
3771
3772 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3773 approved.
3774 [Steve Henson]
3775
3776 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3777
3778 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3779 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3780 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3781 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3782 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3783 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3784 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3785 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3786 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3787 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3788 [Steve Henson]
3789
3790 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3791 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3792 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3793 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3794 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3795 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3796 client side.
3797 [Andy Polyakov]
3798
3799 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3800
3801 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3802 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3803 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3804
3805 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3806 issue and to Adam Langley <[email protected]> for fixing it.
3807 (CVE-2012-2110)
3808 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3809
3810 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3811 [Adam Langley]
3812
3813 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3814 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3815
3816 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3817 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3818 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3819 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3820 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3821 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3822 Most broken servers should now work.
3823 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3824 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3825 [Steve Henson]
3826
3827 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3828 [Andy Polyakov]
3829
3830 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3831
3832 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3833 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3834 [Steve Henson]
3835
3836 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3837 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3838 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3839 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3840 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3844 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3845 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3846 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3847 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3848 [Steve Henson]
3849
3850 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3851 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
3852
3853 *) Add support for SCTP.
3854 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
3855
3856 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3857 [Paul Green <[email protected]>]
3858
3859 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3860
3861 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3862 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3863 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3864 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3865 - s390x: z196 support;
3866 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3867
3868 [Andy Polyakov]
3869
3870 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3871 (removal of unnecessary code)
3872 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
3873
3874 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3875 [Eric Rescorla]
3876
3877 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3878 [Eric Rescorla]
3879
3880 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3881 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3882 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3883 by Google.
3884 [Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
3885
3886 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3887 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3888 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3889 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3890 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3891
3892 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3893 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3894 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3895
3896 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3897 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3898 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3899
3900 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3901 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3902 implementations).
3903 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3904
3905 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instead of ssize_t which isn't available on
3906 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3907 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3908 [Steve Henson]
3909
3910 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3911 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3912 particular PSS.
3913 [Steve Henson]
3914
3915 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3916 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3917 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3918 [Steve Henson]
3919
3920 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3921 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3922 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3923 the appropriate parameters.
3924 [Steve Henson]
3925
3926 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3927 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3928 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3929 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3930 against a number of sample certificates.
3931 [Steve Henson]
3932
3933 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3934 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <[email protected]>]
3935
3936 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3937 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3938
3939 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3940 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3941 parameters r, s.
3942 [Steve Henson]
3943
3944 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3945 RFC3211.
3946 [Steve Henson]
3947
3948 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3949 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3950 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3951 password based CMS).
3952 [Steve Henson]
3953
3954 *) Session-handling fixes:
3955 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3956 but also support Session Tickets.
3957 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3958 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3959 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3960 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3961 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3962 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3963
3964 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3965 [Bodo Moeller]
3966
3967 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3968
3969 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3970 [Andy Polyakov]
3971
3972 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3973 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3974 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3975 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3976 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3977 [Steve Henson]
3978
3979 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3980 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3981 [Steve Henson]
3982
3983 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3984 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3985 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3986 [Steve Henson]
3987
3988 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3989 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3990 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3991 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3992 [Steve Henson]
3993
3994 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3995 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3996 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3997 [Steve Henson]
3998
3999 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
4000 [Peter Eckersley <[email protected]>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
4001
4002 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
4003 [Steve Henson]
4004
4005 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
4006 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4010 [Steve Henson]
4011
4012 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
4013 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
4017 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
4018 [Steve Henson]
4019
4020 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
4021 [Steve Henson]
4022
4023 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
4024 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
4025 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
4026 [Steve Henson]
4027
4028 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4029 [Steve Henson]
4030
4031 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4032 [Steve Henson]
4033
4034 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
4035 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
4036 [Steve Henson]
4037
4038 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
4039 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
4040 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4044 [Steve Henson]
4045
4046 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4047 and enable MD5.
4048 [Steve Henson]
4049
4050 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4051 FIPS modules versions.
4052 [Steve Henson]
4053
4054 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4055 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4056 until after the certificate request message is received.
4057 [Steve Henson]
4058
4059 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4060 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4061 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4062 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4063 [Steve Henson]
4064
4065 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4066 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4067 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4068 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4069 [Steve Henson]
4070
4071 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4072 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4073 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4074 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4075 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4076 and version checking.
4077 [Steve Henson]
4078
4079 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4080 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4081 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4082 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4083 [Steve Henson]
4084
4085 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4086 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4087 [Christophe Renou <[email protected]>, Peter Sylvester
4088 <[email protected]>, Tom Wu <[email protected]>, and
4089 Ben Laurie]
4090
4091 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4092 [Steve Henson]
4093
4094 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4095 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4096 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>]
4097
4098 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4099 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4100 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4104 [Robin Seggelmann <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4105
4106 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4107 a few changes are required:
4108
4109 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4110 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4111 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4112 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4113 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4117
4118 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4119 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4120 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4121 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4122 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4123 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4124 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4125 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> for discovering
4126 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4130 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4131 Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]> for discovering this bug.
4132 [Steve Henson]
4133
4134 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4135
4136 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4137 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4138 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4139 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4140 [Antonio Martin]
4141
4142 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4143
4144 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4145 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4146 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4147 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4148 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4149 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4150 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4151 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4152 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4153 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4154 <[email protected]> and Michael Tuexen <[email protected]>
4155 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4156 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4157
4158 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4159 (CVE-2011-4576)
4160 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4161
4162 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4163 Kadianakis <[email protected]> for discovering this issue and
4164 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4165 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4166
4167 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4168 [Andrey Kulikov <[email protected]>]
4169
4170 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4171 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4172 and Rob Austein <[email protected]> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4173 [Rob Austein <[email protected]>]
4174
4175 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4176 [Paul Green <[email protected]>]
4177
4178 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4179 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4180
4181 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4182 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4183
4184 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4185 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4186 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4187
4188 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4189 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4190 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4191
4192 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4193 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4194 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4195 the last update always remained unused).
4196 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4197
4198 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4199 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4200
4201 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4202
4203 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4204 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4205 [Kaspar Brand <[email protected]>]
4206
4207 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4208 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4209 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4210
4211 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4212 [Bodo Moeller]
4213
4214 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4215 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4216 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4217 [Steve Henson]
4218
4219 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4220 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4221
4222 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4223
4224 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4225
4226 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4227
4228 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4229 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4230
4231 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4232 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4233 ambiguous.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4237
4238 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4239 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4240 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4241 [Steve Henson]
4242
4243 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4244 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4245 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4246 [Ben Laurie]
4247
4248 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4249
4250 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4251 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4252 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4253 [Steve Henson]
4254
4255 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4256 a DLL.
4257 [Steve Henson]
4258
4259 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4260
4261 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4262 (CVE-2010-1633)
4263 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <[email protected]>]
4264
4265 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4266
4267 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4268 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4269 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4270 [Steve Henson]
4271
4272 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4273 [Steve Henson]
4274
4275 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4276 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4277 [Willy Weisz <[email protected]>]
4278
4279 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4280 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4281 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4282 [Steve Henson]
4283
4284 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4285 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4286 [Steve Henson]
4287
4288 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4289 some responders need this.
4290 [Steve Henson]
4291
4292 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4293 correctly.
4294 [Julia Lawall <[email protected]>]
4295
4296 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4297 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4298 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4299 [Steve Henson]
4300
4301 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4302 [Steve Henson]
4303
4304 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4305 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4306 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4307 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4308 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4309 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4310 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4311 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4312 [Steve Henson]
4313
4314 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4315 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4316 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4317 [Guenter <[email protected]>]
4318
4319 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4320 [Michael Tuexen <[email protected]>]
4321
4322 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4323 be used on C++.
4324 [Steve Henson]
4325
4326 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4327 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4328 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4329 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4330 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4331 attempting to work them out.
4332 [Steve Henson]
4333
4334 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4335 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4336 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4337 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4338 [Steve Henson]
4339
4340 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4341 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4342 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4343 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4344 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4345 [Steve Henson]
4346
4347 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4348 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4349 you can do:
4350
4351 openssl sha256 foo
4352
4353 as well as:
4354
4355 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4356
4357 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4358
4359 [Steve Henson]
4360
4361 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4362 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4363
4364 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4365 [Oliver Martin <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4366
4367 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4368 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4369 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4370 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4371 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4372 [Steve Henson]
4373
4374 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4375 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4376 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4377 [Steve Henson]
4378
4379 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4380 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4381 [Steve Henson]
4382
4383 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4384 [Jouni Malinen <[email protected]>]
4385
4386 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4387 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4388 [Steve Henson]
4389
4390 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4391 [Ben Laurie]
4392
4393 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4394 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4395 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4396 CONF_VALUE.
4397 [Ben Laurie]
4398
4399 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4400 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4401 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4402 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4403 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4404 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4405 [Steve Henson]
4406
4407 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4408 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4409
4410 This work was sponsored by Google.
4411 [Steve Henson]
4412
4413 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4414 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4415 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4416 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4417 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4418 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4419 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4420 default.
4421
4422 This work was sponsored by Google.
4423 [Steve Henson]
4424
4425 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4426
4427 This work was sponsored by Google.
4428 [Steve Henson]
4429
4430 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4431 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4432 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4433 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4434
4435 This work was sponsored by Google.
4436 [Steve Henson]
4437
4438 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4439 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4440 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4441 CRL functionality in future.
4442
4443 This work was sponsored by Google.
4444 [Steve Henson]
4445
4446 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4447
4448 This work was sponsored by Google.
4449 [Steve Henson]
4450
4451 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4452 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4453
4454 This work was sponsored by Google.
4455 [Steve Henson]
4456
4457 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4458 and URI types are currently supported.
4459
4460 This work was sponsored by Google.
4461 [Steve Henson]
4462
4463 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4464 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4465 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4466 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4467 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4468 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4469 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4470 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4471
4472 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4473 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4474 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4475
4476 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4477 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4478 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4479 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4480
4481 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4482 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4483 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4484 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4485 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4486 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4487 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4488 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4489 of &errno.)
4490 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4491
4492 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4493 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4494 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4495
4496 This work was sponsored by Google.
4497 [Steve Henson]
4498
4499 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4500 [Ben Laurie]
4501
4502 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4503 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4504 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4505 [Ben Laurie]
4506
4507 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4508 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4509 [Nick Mathewson]
4510
4511 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4512 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4513 [Ben Laurie]
4514
4515 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4516 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4517 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4518 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4519 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4520 content types and variants.
4521 [Steve Henson]
4522
4523 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4524 [Steve Henson]
4525
4526 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4527 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4528 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4529 files from the associated perl scripts.
4530 [Steve Henson]
4531
4532 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4533 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4534 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4535
4536 *) s390x assembler pack.
4537 [Andy Polyakov]
4538
4539 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4540 "family."
4541 [Andy Polyakov]
4542
4543 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4544 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4545 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4546 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4547 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4548 to use. For example, specify an option
4549
4550 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4551
4552 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4553 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4554 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4555 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4556 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4557 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4558
4559 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4560 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4561 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4562 return non-zero for success.
4563
4564 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4565 by using
4566
4567 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4568 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4569
4570 where
4571
4572 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4573 void *arg;
4574
4575 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4576 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4577 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4578 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4579 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4580 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4581 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4582 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4583 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4584
4585 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4586 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4587 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4588 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4589 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4590 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4591
4592 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4593 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4594 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4595 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4596 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4597 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4598
4599 [Bodo Moeller]
4600
4601 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4602 MAC.
4603
4604 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>]
4605
4606 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4607 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4608 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4609 supported.
4610
4611 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4612 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4613 SSL_SESSION.
4614
4615 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4616 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4617 with no application modification.
4618
4619 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4620 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4621
4622 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4623 or server extensions to be examined.
4624
4625 This work was sponsored by Google.
4626 [Steve Henson]
4627
4628 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4629 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4630 [Peter Hartley <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4631
4632 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4633 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4634 ciphersuite support.
4635 [Victor B. Wagner <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
4636
4637 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4638 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4639 to output in BER and PEM format.
4640 [Steve Henson]
4641
4642 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4643 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4644 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4645 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4646 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4647 [Steve Henson]
4648
4649 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4650 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4651 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4652 utility.
4653 [Steve Henson]
4654
4655 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4656 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4657 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4658 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4659 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4660 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4661 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4662 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4663 enabled again.
4664
4665 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4666 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4667 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4668 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4669
4670 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4671 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4672 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4673 the default order.
4674 [Bodo Moeller]
4675
4676 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4677 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4678 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4679 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4680 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4681 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4682 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4683 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4684 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4685
4686 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4687 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4688 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4689 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4690 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4691 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4692 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4693 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4694 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4695 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4696 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4697 kinds of kludges.
4698
4699 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4700 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4701 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4702
4703 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4704 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4705 "CAMELLIA256".
4706 [Bodo Moeller]
4707
4708 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4709 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4710 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4711 [Nils Larsch]
4712
4713 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4714 it yet and it is largely untested.
4715 [Steve Henson]
4716
4717 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4718 [Nils Larsch]
4719
4720 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4721 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4722 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4723 [Steve Henson]
4724
4725 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4726 [Andy Polyakov]
4727
4728 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4729 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4730 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4731 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4732 [Steve Henson]
4733
4734 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4735 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4736 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4737 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4738 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4739 [Steve Henson]
4740
4741 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4742 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4743 [Cryptocom]
4744
4745 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4746 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4747 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4748 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4749 [Steve Henson]
4750
4751 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4752 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4753 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4754 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4755 [Steve Henson]
4756
4757 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4758 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4762 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4763 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4764 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4765 [Steve Henson]
4766
4767 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4768 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4769 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4770 [Steve Henson]
4771
4772 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4773 utility.
4774 [Steve Henson]
4775
4776 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4777 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4778 [Steve Henson]
4779
4780 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4781 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4782 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4783 if necessary.
4784 [Steve Henson]
4785
4786 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4787 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4788 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4789 [Steve Henson]
4790
4791 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4792 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4793 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4794 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4795 [Steve Henson]
4796
4797 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4798 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4799 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4800 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4801 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4802 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4803 [Douglas Stebila]
4804
4805 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4806 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4807 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4808 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4809 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4810
4811 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4812 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4813 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4814 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4815 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4816 protocol).
4817
4818 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4819 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4820 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4821 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4822
4823 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4824 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4825 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4826 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4827 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4828
4829 aECDH - ECDH cert
4830 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4831 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4832
4833 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4834 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4835
4836 [Bodo Moeller]
4837
4838 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4839 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4840 [Steve Henson]
4841
4842 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4843 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4844 [Steve Henson]
4845
4846 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4847 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4848 functional reference processing.
4849 [Steve Henson]
4850
4851 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4852 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4853 process.
4854 [Steve Henson]
4855
4856 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4857 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4858 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4859 [Steve Henson]
4860
4861 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4862 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4863 application to support multiple signers.
4864 [Steve Henson]
4865
4866 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4867 digest MAC.
4868 [Steve Henson]
4869
4870 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4871 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4872 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4873 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4874 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4875 [Steve Henson]
4876
4877 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4878 new API.
4879 [Steve Henson]
4880
4881 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4882 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4883 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4884 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4885 a no op.
4886 [Steve Henson]
4887
4888 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4889 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4890 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4891 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4892 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4893 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4894 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4895 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4896 [Steve Henson]
4897
4898 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4899 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4900 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4901 between digests and public key types.
4902 [Steve Henson]
4903
4904 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4905 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4906 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4907 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4908 [Steve Henson]
4909
4910 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4911 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4912 key ASN1 method.
4913 [Steve Henson]
4914
4915 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4916 [Steve Henson]
4917
4918 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4919 pkeyutl.
4920 [Steve Henson]
4921
4922 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4923 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4924 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4925 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4926 pkey, genpkey.
4927 [Steve Henson]
4928
4929 *) BeOS support.
4930 [Oliver Tappe <[email protected]>]
4931
4932 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4933 manual pages.
4934 [Oliver Tappe <[email protected]>]
4935
4936 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4937 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4938 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4939 functionality for RSA.
4940 [Steve Henson]
4941
4942 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4943 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4944 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4945 [Steve Henson]
4946
4947 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4948 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4949 [Steve Henson]
4950
4951 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4952 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4953 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4954 [Steve Henson]
4955
4956 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4957 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4958 [Douglas Stebila]
4959
4960 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4961 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4962 [Steve Henson]
4963
4964 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4965 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4966 type.
4967 [Steve Henson]
4968
4969 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4970 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4971 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4972 structure.
4973 [Steve Henson]
4974
4975 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4976 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4977 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4978 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4979 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4980 of public and private key structures.
4981 [Steve Henson]
4982
4983 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4984 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4985 [Douglas Stebila]
4986
4987 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4988 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4989 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4990
4991 New ciphersuites:
4992 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4993 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4994
4995 New functions:
4996 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4997 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4998 SSL_get_psk_identity
4999 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
5000
5001 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
5002
5003 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
5004 and response verification functionality.
5005 [Zoltán Glózik <[email protected]>, The OpenTSA Project]
5006
5007 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5008 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5009 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5010 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5011 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5012 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5013 server_name extension.
5014
5015 New functions (subject to change):
5016
5017 SSL_get_servername()
5018 SSL_get_servername_type()
5019 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5020
5021 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5022
5023 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5024 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5025 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5026 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5027 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5028
5029 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5030
5031 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5032 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5033 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5034 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5035 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5036 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5037 option.
5038
5039 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
5040
5041 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
5042 [Andy Polyakov]
5043
5044 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
5045 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
5046 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5047 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5048 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5049 [Andy Polyakov]
5050
5051 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5052 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5053 macro.
5054 [Bodo Moeller]
5055
5056 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5057 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5058 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5059 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5060 [Andy Polyakov]
5061
5062 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5063 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5064 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5065 using the maximum available value.
5066 [Steve Henson]
5067
5068 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5069 in addition to the text details.
5070 [Bodo Moeller]
5071
5072 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5073 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5074 handle several customised structures at all.
5075 [Steve Henson]
5076
5077 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5078 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5079 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5080 [Steve Henson]
5081
5082 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5083 [Steve Henson]
5084
5085 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5086 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5087 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5088 [Steve Henson]
5089
5090 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5091 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5092 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5093 [Nils Larsch]
5094
5095 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5096 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5097 all fields.
5098 [Steve Henson]
5099
5100 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5101 [Steve Henson]
5102
5103 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5104 [NTT]
5105
5106 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5107
5108 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5109 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5110 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5111 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5112 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5113 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5114 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5115 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <[email protected]>]
5116
5117 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5118 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5119 [Tomas Hoger <[email protected]>]
5120
5121 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5122
5123 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5124 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5125
5126 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5127 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5128 [Bodo Moeller]
5129
5130 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5131 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5132 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5133 [Steve Henson]
5134
5135 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5136 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5137 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5138 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5139 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5140 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5141 [Steve Henson]
5142
5143 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5144 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5145 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5146 [Steve Henson]
5147
5148 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5149 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5150 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5151 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5152 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5153 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5154 CVE-2009-4355.
5155 [Steve Henson]
5156
5157 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5158 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5159 [Bodo Moeller]
5160
5161 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5162 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5163 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5164 [Steve Henson]
5165
5166 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5167 [Steve Henson]
5168
5169 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5170 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5171 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5172 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5173 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5174 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5175 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5176 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5177 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5178 [Steve Henson]
5179
5180 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5181 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5182 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5183 [Steve Henson]
5184
5185 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5186 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5187 [Steve Henson]
5188
5189 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5190 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5191 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5192 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5193 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5194 know what you are doing.
5195 [Eric Rescorla <[email protected]>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5196
5197 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5198 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5199 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5200 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5201 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5202 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5203 the handshake.
5204 [Steve Henson]
5205
5206 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5207 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5208 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5209 correctly.
5210 [Julia Lawall <[email protected]>]
5211
5212 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5213 warnings in other configurations.
5214 [Steve Henson]
5215
5216 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5217 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5218 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5219 systems need.
5220 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5221
5222 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5223 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5224 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5225
5226 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5227 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5228 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5229 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5230 [Steve Henson]
5231
5232 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5233 and restored.
5234 [Steve Henson]
5235
5236 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5237 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5238 clash.
5239 [Guenter <[email protected]>]
5240
5241 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5242 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5243 other than a simple chain.
5244 [David Woodhouse <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
5245
5246 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5247 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5248 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5249 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5250 [Steve Henson]
5251
5252 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5253 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5254 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5255 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5256 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5257 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5258 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5259 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5260 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5261
5262 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5263 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5264 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5265 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5266 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5267 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5268 (CVE-2009-1377)
5269 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5270
5271 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5272 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5273 [Daniel Mentz]
5274
5275 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5276 [Darryl Miles <[email protected]>]
5277
5278 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5279 [Ilya O. <[email protected]>]
5280
5281 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5282
5283 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5284 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5285 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5286 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5287 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5288 you're doing.
5289 [Ben Laurie]
5290
5291 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5292
5293 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5294 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5295 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5296 [Paolo Ganci <[email protected]>]
5297
5298 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5299 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5300 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5301 [Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]>]
5302
5303 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5304 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5305 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5306 [Steve Henson]
5307
5308 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5309 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5310 level.
5311 [Steve Henson]
5312
5313 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5314 to handle some structures.
5315 [Steve Henson]
5316
5317 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5318 for a '\n'
5319 [Jeremy Shapiro <[email protected]>]
5320
5321 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5322 [Matthieu Herrb]
5323
5324 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5325 [Steve Henson]
5326
5327 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5328 [Steve Henson]
5329
5330 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5331 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5332 chosen compiler.
5333 [Ben Laurie]
5334
5335 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5336
5337 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5338 (CVE-2008-5077).
5339 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5340
5341 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5342 [Ben Laurie]
5343
5344 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5345 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5346 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5347 [Sander Temme <[email protected]>]
5348
5349 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5350 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5351
5352 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5353 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5354 [Bodo Moeller]
5355
5356 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5357 s_client and s_server.
5358 [Ben Laurie]
5359
5360 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5361 [Rob Austein <[email protected]>]
5362
5363 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5364 [Philip Paeps <[email protected]>]
5365
5366 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5367 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5368 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5369 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5370 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5371 [Bodo Moeller]
5372
5373 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5374
5375 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5376 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5377 [PR #1679]
5378
5379 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5380 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5381 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5382
5383 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5384 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5385 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5386 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5387
5388 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5389 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5390
5391 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5392
5393 *) Various precautionary measures:
5394
5395 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5396
5397 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5398 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5399 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5400
5401 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5402 outside the expected range.
5403
5404 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5405 builds.
5406
5407 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5408
5409 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5410 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5411 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5412
5413 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5414 [Steve Henson]
5415
5416 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5417 [Huang Ying]
5418
5419 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5420
5421 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5422 [Steve Henson]
5423
5424 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5425 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5426 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5427
5428 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5429 [Steve Henson]
5430
5431 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5432 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5433 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5434 files.
5435 [Steve Henson]
5436
5437 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5438
5439 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5440 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5441 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5442 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5443
5444 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5445 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5446 [Joe Orton]
5447
5448 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5449
5450 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5451 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5452 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5453
5454 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5455
5456 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5457 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5458 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5459 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5460 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5461
5462 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5463 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5464 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5465 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5466 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5467 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5468 [Ivan Nestlerode <[email protected]>]
5469
5470 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5471
5472 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5473 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5474 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5475 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5476 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5477
5478 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5479 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5480
5481 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5482 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5483 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5484 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5485 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5486
5487 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5488
5489 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5490 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5491 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5492 sets may exist with different names.
5493 [Steve Henson]
5494
5495 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5496 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5497 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5498 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5499 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5500 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5501 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5502 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5503 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5504 implementation.
5505 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5506
5507 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5508 implementation in the following ways:
5509
5510 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5511 hard coded.
5512
5513 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5514 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5515 ignored for embedded content.
5516
5517 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5518 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5519 [Steve Henson]
5520
5521 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5522 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5523 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5524 [Paul Sheer <[email protected]>]
5525
5526 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5527 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5528 [Steve Henson]
5529
5530 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5531 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5532 [Steve Henson]
5533
5534 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5535 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5536 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5537 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5538 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5539 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5540 data.
5541 [Steve Henson]
5542
5543 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5544 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5545 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5546
5547 *) Netware support:
5548
5549 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5550 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5551 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5552 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5553 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5554 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5555 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5556 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5557 platform
5558 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5559 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5560 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5561 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5562 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5563 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5564 [Guenter Knauf <[email protected]>]
5565
5566 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5567 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5568 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5569 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5570 to s_client and s_server.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5574
5575 *) Fix various bugs:
5576 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5577 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5578 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5579 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5580 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5581
5582 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5583
5584 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5585 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5586 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5587 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5588 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5589 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5590 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5591 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5592 [Andy Polyakov]
5593
5594 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5595 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5596 [Kurt Roeckx <[email protected]>, Peter Hartley <[email protected]>,
5597 Steve Henson]
5598
5599 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5600 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5601 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5602 supported.
5603
5604 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5605 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5606 SSL_SESSION.
5607
5608 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5609 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5610 with no application modification.
5611
5612 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5613 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5614
5615 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5616 or server extensions to be examined.
5617
5618 This work was sponsored by Google.
5619 [Steve Henson]
5620
5621 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5622 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5623 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5624 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5625 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5626 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5627 server_name extension.
5628
5629 New functions (subject to change):
5630
5631 SSL_get_servername()
5632 SSL_get_servername_type()
5633 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5634
5635 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5636
5637 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5638 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5639 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5640 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5641 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5642
5643 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5644
5645 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5646 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5647 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5648 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5649 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5650 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5651 option.
5652
5653 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5654
5655 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5656 [Steve Henson]
5657
5658 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5659 [Andy Polyakov]
5660
5661 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5662 (which previously caused an internal error).
5663 [Bodo Moeller]
5664
5665 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5666 [Ben Laurie]
5667
5668 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5669 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5670
5671 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5672 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5673 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5674
5675 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5676 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5677 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5678 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5679
5680 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5681 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5682 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5683 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5684
5685 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5686 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5687 information. For detailed background information, see
5688 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5689 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5690 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5691 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5692 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5693 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5694 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5695 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5696 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5697 remove a conditional branch.
5698
5699 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5700 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5701 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5702 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5703 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5704 remains as a deprecated alias.
5705
5706 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5707 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5708 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5709 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5710
5711 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5712 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5713 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5714 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5715 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5716 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5717 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5718 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5719
5720 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5721
5722 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5723 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5724 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5725 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5726 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5727 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5728 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5729 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5730 in a different context.
5731 [Bodo Moeller]
5732
5733 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5734 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5735 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5736 [Bodo Moeller]
5737
5738 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5739 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5740 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5741
5742 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5743
5744 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5745 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5746 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5747 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5748 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5749 [Victor Duchovni]
5750
5751 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5752 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5753 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5754 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5755 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5756 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5757 [Bodo Moeller]
5758
5759 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5760 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5761 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5762 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5763 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5764 [Bodo Moeller]
5765
5766 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5767 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5768
5769 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5770 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5771 Improve header file function name parsing.
5772 [Steve Henson]
5773
5774 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5775 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5776 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5777
5778 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5779
5780 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5781 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5782 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5783
5784 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5785 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5786
5787 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5788 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5789
5790 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5791 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5792 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5793
5794 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5795 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5796 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5797 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5798 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5799 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5800 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5801 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5802 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5803
5804 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5805 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5806 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5807 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5808 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5809
5810 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5811 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5812 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5813 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5814 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5815 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5816 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5817 multiple values to extend the available space.
5818
5819 [Bodo Moeller]
5820
5821 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5822
5823 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5824 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5825
5826 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5827 [Ben Laurie]
5828
5829 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5830 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5831 undesirable limitations.
5832 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5833
5834 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5835 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5836 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5837 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5838 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5839 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5840 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5841 [Bodo Moeller]
5842
5843 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5844
5845 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5846 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5847 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5848
5849 The latter two were purportedly from
5850 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5851 appear there.
5852
5853 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5854 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5855 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5856 [Bodo Moeller]
5857
5858 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5859 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5860 [Bodo Moeller]
5861
5862 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5863 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5864 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5865 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5866
5867 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5868 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5869 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5870 [NTT]
5871
5872 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5873 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5874 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5875 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5876 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5877 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5878 [Steve Henson]
5879
5880 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5881
5882 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5883 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5884 [Steve Henson]
5885
5886 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5887 [Austin Ziegler <[email protected]>]
5888
5889 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5890 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5891 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5892 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5893 [Douglas Stebila]
5894
5895 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5896 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5897 [Steve Henson]
5898
5899 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5900 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5901 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5902 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5903 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5904 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5905 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5906 can't be loaded.
5907 [Steve Henson]
5908
5909 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5910 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5911 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5912 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5913 [Steve Henson]
5914
5915 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5916 under VC++ build system.
5917 [Steve Henson]
5918
5919 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5920 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5921 [Richard Levitte]
5922
5923 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5924
5925 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5926 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5927 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5928 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5929 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5930
5931 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5932 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5933 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5934
5935 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5936 [Steve Henson]
5937
5938 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5939 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5940 [Nils Larsch]
5941
5942 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5943 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5944
5945 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5946 [Nick Mathewson]
5947
5948 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5949 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5950
5951 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5952 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5953 [Steve Henson]
5954
5955 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5956 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5957 smime utility.
5958 [Steve Henson]
5959
5960 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5961
5962 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5963 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5964
5965 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5966 [Richard Levitte]
5967
5968 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5969 key into the same file any more.
5970 [Richard Levitte]
5971
5972 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5973 [Andy Polyakov]
5974
5975 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5976 [Stefan <[email protected]]
5977
5978 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5979 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5980 [Richard Levitte]
5981
5982 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5983 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5984 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5985 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5986 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5987 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Geoff Thorpe]
5988
5989 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5990 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5991 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5992 [Steve Henson]
5993
5994 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5995 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5996 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5997 - add new function for parameter creation
5998 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5999 BN_BLINDING parameters
6000 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
6001 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
6002 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
6003 threads.
6004 [Nils Larsch]
6005
6006 *) Add support for DTLS.
6007 [Nagendra Modadugu <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
6008
6009 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
6010 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
6011 [Walter Goulet]
6012
6013 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
6014 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
6015 [Nils Larsch]
6016
6017 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
6018 the apps/openssl applications.
6019 [Nils Larsch]
6020
6021 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
6022 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
6023 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
6024 [Ben Laurie]
6025
6026 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
6027 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
6028
6029 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
6030 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
6031
6032 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
6033 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
6034 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
6035 avoid this algorithm.)
6036
6037 [Bodo Moeller]
6038
6039 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
6040 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
6041 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
6042 [Richard Levitte]
6043
6044 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
6045 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6046 [Andy Polyakov]
6047
6048 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6049 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6050 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6051 pod file:
6052
6053 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6054
6055 The blank line is mandatory.
6056
6057 [Steve Henson]
6058
6059 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6060 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6061 sources.
6062 [Steve Henson]
6063
6064 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6065 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6066
6067 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6068 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6069 to support policy checking and print out.
6070 [Steve Henson]
6071
6072 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6073 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6074 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6075 [Michal Ludvig <[email protected]>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6076
6077 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6078 [Geoff Thorpe]
6079
6080 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6081 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6082
6083 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6084 implementation contributed by IBM.
6085 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6086
6087 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6088 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6089 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6090 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6091
6092 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6093 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6094
6095 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6096 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6097 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6098 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6099 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6100 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6101 [Steve Henson]
6102
6103 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6104 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6105 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6106 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6107 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6108 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6109 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6110 [Geoff Thorpe]
6111
6112 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6113 [Steve Henson]
6114
6115 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6116 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6117 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6118 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6119 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6120 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6121 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6122 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6123 [Steve Henson]
6124
6125 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6126 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6127 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6128 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6129 [Steve Henson]
6130
6131 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6132 syntax:
6133
6134 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6135 [Steve Henson]
6136
6137 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6138 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6139 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6140 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6141 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6142 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6143 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6144 [Geoff Thorpe]
6145
6146 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6147 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6148 [Geoff Thorpe]
6149
6150 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6151 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6152 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6153 [Steve Henson]
6154
6155 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6156 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6157 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6158 below).
6159 [Geoff Thorpe]
6160
6161 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6162 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6163 [Richard Levitte]
6164
6165 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6166 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6167 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6168 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6169 [Geoff Thorpe]
6170
6171 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6172 initialised value as BN_new().
6173 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6174
6175 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6176 [Steve Henson]
6177
6178 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6179 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6180 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6181 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6182 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6183 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6184 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6185 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6186 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6187 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6188 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6189 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6190 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6191 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6192 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6193
6194 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6195 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6196 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6197 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6198 [Geoff Thorpe]
6199
6200 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6201 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6202 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6203 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6204 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6205 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6206 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6207 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6208 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6209 [Geoff Thorpe]
6210
6211 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6212 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6213 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6214 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6215 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6216 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6217 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6218 [Geoff Thorpe]
6219
6220 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6221 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6222 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6223 these have been updated also.
6224 [Geoff Thorpe]
6225
6226 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6227 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6228 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6229 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6230 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6231 functions.
6232 [Steve Henson]
6233
6234 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6235 structure of type "other".
6236 [Steve Henson]
6237
6238 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6239 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6240 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6241 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6242 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6243 situation in the script.
6244 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6245
6246 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6247 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6248 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6249 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6250 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6251 used as premaster secret.
6252 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6253
6254 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6255 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6256 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6257
6258 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6259 [Götz Babin-Ebell <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
6260
6261 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6262 control of the error stack.
6263 [Richard Levitte]
6264
6265 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6266 [Richard Levitte]
6267
6268 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6269 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6270 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6271 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6272 [Richard Levitte]
6273
6274 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6275 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6276 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6277 [Richard Levitte]
6278
6279 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6280 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6281 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6282 a memory area.
6283 [Richard Levitte]
6284
6285 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6286 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6287 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6288 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6289 [Richard Levitte]
6290
6291 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6292 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6293 the following flags are defined:
6294
6295 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6296 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6297 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6298 number.
6299
6300 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6301 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6302 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6303 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6304 returns zero.
6305 [Richard Levitte]
6306
6307 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6308 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6309 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6310 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6311 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6312 [Richard Levitte]
6313
6314 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6315 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6316 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6317 [Richard Levitte]
6318
6319 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6320 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6321 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6322 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6323 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6324 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6325 [Richard Levitte]
6326
6327 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6328 req and dirName.
6329 [Steve Henson]
6330
6331 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6332 [Steve Henson]
6333
6334 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6335 [Steve Henson]
6336
6337 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6338 [Steve Henson]
6339
6340 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6341 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6342 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6343 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6344 default implementation more easily.
6345 [Geoff Thorpe]
6346
6347 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6348 in config files.
6349 [Steve Henson]
6350
6351 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6352 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6353 [Richard Levitte]
6354
6355 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6356 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6357 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6358 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6359
6360 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6361 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6362 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6363 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6364 [Steve Henson]
6365
6366 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6367 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6368 to do it.
6369 [Richard Levitte]
6370
6371 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6372 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6373 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6374 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6375 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6376 scalar * generator).
6377 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6378
6379 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6380 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6381 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6382 correctly.
6383 [Steve Henson]
6384
6385 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6386 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6387 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6388 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6389 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6390 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6391 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6392 linker additions, eg;
6393 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6394 [Geoff Thorpe]
6395
6396 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6397 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6398 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6399 [Geoff Thorpe]
6400
6401 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6402 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6403 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <[email protected]>
6404 via PR#459)
6405 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6406
6407 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6408 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6409 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6410 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6411 [Geoff Thorpe]
6412
6413 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6414 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6415 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6416 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6417 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6418 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6419 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6420 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6421 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6422 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6423
6424 Example for using the new callback interface:
6425
6426 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6427 void *my_arg = ...;
6428 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6429
6430 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6431
6432 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6433 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6434 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6435 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6436 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6437 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6438 */
6439
6440 [Geoff Thorpe]
6441
6442 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6443 available to TLS with the number defined in
6444 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6445 [Richard Levitte]
6446
6447 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6448 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6449
6450 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6451 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6452 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6453 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6454
6455 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6456 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6457
6458 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6459 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6460 well.
6461 [Richard Levitte]
6462
6463 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6464 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6465 [Richard Levitte]
6466
6467 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6468 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6469 and a macro that behave like
6470 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6471
6472 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6473 [Nils Larsch]
6474
6475 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6476 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6477 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6478 if applicable.
6479 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6480
6481 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6482 [Bodo Moeller]
6483
6484 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6485 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6486 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6487 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6488 directory engines/.
6489 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6490 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6491 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6492 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6493 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6494 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6495 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6496 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6497
6498 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6499 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6500 [Richard Levitte]
6501
6502 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6503 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <[email protected]>]
6504
6505 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6506 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6507 files while avoiding the low level API.
6508
6509 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6510 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6511 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6512 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6513
6514 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6515 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6516 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6517 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6518 instead of the low level API.
6519 [Steve Henson]
6520
6521 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6522 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6523 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6524 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6525 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6526 PKCS#7 code.
6527
6528 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6529 down to the template encoder.
6530 [Steve Henson]
6531
6532 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6533 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6534 [Bodo Moeller]
6535
6536 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6537 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6538 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6539 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6540
6541 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6542 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6543
6544 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6545 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6546
6547 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6548 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6549 [Bodo Moeller]
6550
6551 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6552 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6553 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6554 [Bodo Moeller]
6555
6556 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6557 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6558
6559 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6560 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6561
6562 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6563 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6564 New EC_METHOD:
6565
6566 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6567
6568 New API functions:
6569
6570 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6571 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6572 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6573 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6574 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6575 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6576
6577 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6578 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6579 enable it).
6580
6581 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6582 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6583 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6584 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6585 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6586 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6587 various internal method names.)
6588
6589 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6590 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6591
6592 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6593 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6594
6595 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6596 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6597
6598 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6599 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6600 methods are undefined.
6601
6602 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6603 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6604
6605 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6606 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6607 length of the modulus.
6608
6609 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6610 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6611
6612 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6613 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6614
6615 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6616 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6617
6618 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6619 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6620 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6621
6622 BN_GF2m_add
6623 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6624 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6625 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6626 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6627 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6628 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6629 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6630 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6631 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6632
6633 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6634 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6635
6636 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6637 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6638 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6639 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6640 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6641 where
6642 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6643 This applies to the following functions:
6644
6645 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6646 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6647 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6648 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6649 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6650 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6651 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6652 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6653 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6654 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6655
6656 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6657
6658 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6659 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6660
6661 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6662
6663 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6664 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6665 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6666 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6667 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6668
6669 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6670 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6671
6672 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6673 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6674 [Douglas Stebila <[email protected]>]
6675
6676 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6677 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6678
6679 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6680 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6681 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6682 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6683 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6684
6685 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6686 functions
6687 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6688 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6689 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6690 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6691 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6692 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6693 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6694 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6695 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6696 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6697 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6698 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6699
6700 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6701 functions
6702 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6703 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6704 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6705 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6706 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6707
6708 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6709 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6710 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6711 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6712
6713 *) Add functions
6714 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6715 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6716 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6717 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6718 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6719 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6720 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6721
6722 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6723 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6724 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6725 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6726 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6727 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6728 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6729 adding different types of curves.
6730 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6731
6732 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6733 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6734 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6735 [Bodo Moeller]
6736
6737 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6738 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6739
6740 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6741 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6742 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6743 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6744
6745 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6746
6747 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6748 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6749
6750 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6751 library. Most notably,
6752 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6753 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6754 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6755 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6756 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6757 extracted before the specific public key;
6758 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6759 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
6760
6761 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6762 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6763 function
6764 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6765 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6766 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6767 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6768 accessed via
6769 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6770 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6771 [Nils Larsch <[email protected], Bodo Moeller]
6772
6773 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6774 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6775 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6776 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6777 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6778 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6779 differing sizes.
6780 [Richard Levitte]
6781
6782 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6783
6784 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6785 sensitive data.
6786 [Benjamin Bennett <[email protected]>]
6787
6788 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6789 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6790 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6791 [Bodo Moeller]
6792
6793 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6794 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6795 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6796 [Victor Duchovni]
6797
6798 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6799 [Steve Henson]
6800
6801 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6802 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6803 [Steve Henson]
6804
6805 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6806 run algorithm test programs.
6807 [Steve Henson]
6808
6809 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6810 [Steve Henson]
6811
6812 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6813 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6814 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6815 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6816 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6817 [Bodo Moeller]
6818
6819 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6820 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6821 [Steve Henson]
6822
6823 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6824
6825 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6826 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6827 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6828
6829 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6830 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6831
6832 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6833 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6834
6835 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6836 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6837 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6838
6839 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6840 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6841 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6842 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6843 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6844 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6845 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6846 [Bodo Moeller]
6847
6848 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6849
6850 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6851 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6852
6853 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6854 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6855 undesirable limitations.
6856 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6857
6858 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6859
6860 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6861 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6862 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6863
6864 The latter two were purportedly from
6865 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6866 appear there.
6867
6868 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6869 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6870 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6871 [Bodo Moeller]
6872
6873 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6874 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6875 [Bodo Moeller]
6876
6877 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6878
6879 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6880 module in FIPS mode.
6881 [Steve Henson]
6882
6883 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6884 [Steve Henson]
6885
6886 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6887 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6888 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6889 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6890 [Steve Henson]
6891
6892 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6893
6894 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6895 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6896 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6897 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6898 the difference induced by this change.
6899 [Andy Polyakov]
6900
6901 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6902
6903 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6904 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6905 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6906 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6907 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6908
6909 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6910 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6911 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6912
6913 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6914 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6915 [Steve Henson]
6916
6917 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6918 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6919 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6920 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6921 biased k.)
6922 [Bodo Moeller]
6923
6924 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6925 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6926 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6927 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6928 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6929
6930 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6931 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6932 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6933 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6934 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6935 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6936
6937 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6938
6939 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6940 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6941 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6942 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6943 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6944 [Bodo Moeller]
6945
6946 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6947 clients need.
6948 [Steve Henson]
6949
6950 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6951 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6952 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6953 [Steve Henson]
6954
6955 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6956 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6957 structures constant.
6958 [Steve Henson]
6959
6960 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6961
6962 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6963 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6964
6965 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6966 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6967 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6968 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6969 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6970 some needed definitions.
6971 [Steve Henson]
6972
6973 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6974 [Ulf Möller]
6975
6976 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6977 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6978 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6979 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6980 [Richard Levitte]
6981
6982 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6983
6984 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6985 server and client random values. Previously
6986 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6987 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6988
6989 This change has negligible security impact because:
6990
6991 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6992 data.
6993
6994 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6995 handshake.
6996
6997 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6998 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6999 values.
7000
7001 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
7002 to our attention.
7003
7004 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
7005
7006 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
7007 [Ulf Möller]
7008
7009 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
7010 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
7011 [Darren Tucker <[email protected]> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
7012
7013 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
7014 [Steve Henson]
7015
7016 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
7017 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
7018 [Andy Polyakov]
7019
7020 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
7021 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
7022 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
7023
7024 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
7025 [Steve Henson]
7026
7027 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
7028 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
7029 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
7030 certificates.
7031 [Steve Henson]
7032
7033 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
7034 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
7035 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
7036 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
7037
7038 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
7039 has chosen to ignore this fault)
7040 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
7041 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
7042 been given)
7043 [Richard Levitte]
7044
7045 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7046
7047 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7048 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7049 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7050 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7051 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7052 [Steve Henson]
7053
7054 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7055 [Steve Henson]
7056
7057 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7058 [David Holmes <[email protected]>]
7059
7060 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7061 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7062 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7063 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7064 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7065 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7066 rather than being initialized to 1.
7067 [Steve Henson]
7068
7069 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7070
7071 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7072 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7073 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7074
7075 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7076 (CVE-2004-0112)
7077 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7078
7079 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7080 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7081 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7082 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7083 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7084 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7085 [Richard Levitte]
7086
7087 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7088 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7089 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7090 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7091 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7092 for these cases.
7093 [Steve Henson]
7094
7095 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7096 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7097 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7098 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7099 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7100 [Steve Henson]
7101
7102 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7103 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7104 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7105 < 0.9.7.
7106 [Steve Henson]
7107
7108 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7109 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
7110
7111 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7112 [Steve Henson]
7113
7114 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7115
7116 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7117
7118 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7119 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7120
7121 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7122
7123 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7124 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7125
7126 [Steve Henson]
7127
7128 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7129 exiting on the first error in a request.
7130 [Steve Henson]
7131
7132 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7133 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7134 specifications.
7135 [Steve Henson]
7136
7137 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7138 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7139 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7140 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7141
7142 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7143 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7144 [Richard Levitte]
7145
7146 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7147 blocks during encryption.
7148 [Richard Levitte]
7149
7150 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7151 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7152 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7153 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7154 certain size.
7155 [Steve Henson]
7156
7157 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7158 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7159 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7160 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7161 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7162 parser.
7163 [Steve Henson]
7164
7165 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7166
7167 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7168 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7169 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7170 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7171 [Bodo Moeller]
7172
7173 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7174 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7175 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7176 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7177 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7178
7179 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7180 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7181 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7182 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7183 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7184 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7185 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7186 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7187 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7188 [Bodo Moeller]
7189
7190 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7191 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7192 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7193 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7194 [Geoff Thorpe]
7195
7196 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7197 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7198 [Ulf Moeller]
7199
7200 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7201
7202 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7203 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7204 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7205 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7206 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7207
7208 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7209 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7210 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7211
7212 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7213 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7214 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7215 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7216 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7217
7218 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7219 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7220 used by default when no-err is given.
7221 [Richard Levitte]
7222
7223 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7224 [[email protected] via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7225
7226 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7227 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7228 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7229 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7230 [Kevin Greaney <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7231
7232 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7233 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7234 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7235 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7236
7237 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7238
7239 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7240
7241 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7242
7243 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7244 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7245 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7246 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7247 root is omitted).
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7251 [Steven Reddie <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7252
7253 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7254 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7255 [Steve Henson]
7256
7257 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7258 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7259 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <[email protected]>,
7260 Nils Larsch <[email protected]> via PR#459)
7261 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7262
7263 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7264 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7265 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7266 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7267 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7268 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <[email protected]> as
7269 followup to PR #377.
7270 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7271
7272 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7273 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7274 [Andy Polyakov]
7275
7276 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7277 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7278 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7279 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <[email protected]>]
7280
7281 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7282
7283 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7284 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7285
7286 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7287 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7288 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7289 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7290 client and server.
7291 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <[email protected]> as
7292 PR #377.
7293 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7294
7295 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7296 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7297 removed entirely.
7298 [Richard Levitte]
7299
7300 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7301 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7302 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7303 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7304 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7305 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7306 of libcrypto.
7307 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7308 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7309 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7310 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7311 have to be made anyway).
7312 [Richard Levitte]
7313
7314 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7315 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7316 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7317 [Steve Henson]
7318
7319 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7320 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7321 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7322 [Richard Levitte]
7323
7324 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7325 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7326 [Steven Reddie <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7327
7328 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7329 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7330 edit numbers of the version.
7331 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7332
7333 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7334 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7335 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7336
7337 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7338 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7339
7340 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7341 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7342 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7343
7344 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7345 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7346
7347 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7348 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7349
7350 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7352
7353 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7354 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7355
7356 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7357 overflows.
7358 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7359
7360 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7361 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7362 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7363
7364 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7365 representations in a platform independent manner.
7366 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7367
7368 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7369 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7370 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7371
7372 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7373 indents.
7374 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7375
7376 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7377 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7378
7379 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7380 full. Fixed.
7381 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7382
7383 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7384 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7385 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7386
7387 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7388 unconditionally).
7389 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7390
7391 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7392 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7393
7394 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7395 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7396
7397 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7398 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7399
7400 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7401 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7402
7403 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7404 CBCParameter.
7405 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7406
7407 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7408 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7409
7410 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7411 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7412
7413 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7414 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7415 exploitable.
7416 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7417
7418 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7419 the 0.9.6 release series:
7420
7421 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7422 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7423 (CVE-2002-0657)
7424 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7425
7426 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7427 [Richard Levitte]
7428
7429 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7430 [Michael Bell <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
7431
7432 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7433 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <[email protected]>]
7434
7435 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7436 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7437 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7438 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <[email protected]>]
7439
7440 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7441 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7442 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7443
7444 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7445 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7446 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7447 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7448
7449 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7450 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7451 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7452 some local tweaks:
7453
7454 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7455 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7456 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7457 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7458 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7459 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7460 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7461 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7462 done
7463
7464 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7465 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7466 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7467 [Richard Levitte]
7468
7469 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7470 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7471 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7472 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7473 [Götz Babin-Ebell <[email protected]>]
7474
7475 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7476 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <[email protected]>]
7477
7478 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7479 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7480 [Richard Levitte]
7481
7482 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7483 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7484 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7485 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7486 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7487 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7488 [Steve Henson]
7489
7490 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7491 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7492 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7493 [Steve Henson]
7494
7495 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7496 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <[email protected]>)
7497 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7498
7499 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7500 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7501 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7502 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7503 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7504 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7505 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <[email protected]>)
7506 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7507
7508 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7509 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7510 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7511 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7512 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7513 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7514 [Steve Henson]
7515
7516 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7517 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7518 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7519 declaration has been changed from
7520 int (*cb)()
7521 into
7522 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7523 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7524 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7525 has been changed into
7526 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7527
7528 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7529 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7530 [D. K. Smetters <[email protected]>]
7531
7532 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7533 [Maurice Gittens <[email protected]>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7534
7535 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7536 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7537 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7538 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7539 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7540 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7541 always load it have also been added.
7542 [Steve Henson]
7543
7544 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7545 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7546 [Stephen Sprunk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7547
7548 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7549
7550 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7551 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7552 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7553
7554 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7555 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7556 command line option can be used to specify an
7557 alternative file.
7558 [Steve Henson]
7559
7560 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7561 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7562 [Steve Henson]
7563
7564 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7565 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7566 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7567 [Steve Henson]
7568
7569 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7570 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7571 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7572 to work with the new engine framework.
7573 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7574
7575 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7576 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7577 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7578 to work with the new engine framework.
7579 [Richard Levitte]
7580
7581 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7582 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7583 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7584
7585 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7586 [Robert Dahlem <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7587
7588 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7589 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7590 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7591 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7592 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7593 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7594
7595 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7596 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
7597
7598 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7599 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]>]
7600
7601 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7602 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7603 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7604 [Ben Laurie]
7605
7606 *) Add new functions
7607 ERR_peek_last_error
7608 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7609 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7610 These are similar to
7611 ERR_peek_error
7612 ERR_peek_error_line
7613 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7614 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7615 still in the error queue.
7616 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7617
7618 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7619 like:
7620 default_algorithms = ALL
7621 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7622 [Steve Henson]
7623
7624 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7625 [Steve Henson]
7626
7627 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7628 [Steve Henson]
7629
7630 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7631 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7632 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7633 [Stephen Sprunk <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7634
7635 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7636 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7637
7638 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7639 [Massimiliano Pala [email protected]]
7640
7641 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7642 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7643 [Bodo Moeller]
7644
7645 *) New functions/macros
7646
7647 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7648 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7649 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7650 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7651
7652 to request calling a callback function
7653
7654 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7655 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7656
7657 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7658 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7659 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7660 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7661 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7662 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7663 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7664 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7665 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7666 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7667
7668 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7669 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7670 [Bodo Moeller]
7671
7672 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7673 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7674 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7675 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7676 the configuration scripts.
7677
7678 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7679 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7680 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
7681
7682 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7683 [Peter Sylvester <[email protected]>]
7684
7685 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7686 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7687 when reusing an existing buffer.
7688 [Bodo Moeller]
7689
7690 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7691 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7692 [Steve Henson]
7693
7694 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7695 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7696 [Ben Laurie]
7697
7698 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7699 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7700 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7701 has the same effect.
7702 [Massimiliano Pala [email protected]]
7703
7704 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7705 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7706 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7707 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7708 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7709 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7710 exception.
7711
7712 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7713 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7714 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7715 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7716
7717 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7718 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7719 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7720 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7721
7722 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7723 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7724 won't work.
7725
7726 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7727 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7728 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7729 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7730 default), and then completely removed.
7731 [Richard Levitte]
7732
7733 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7734 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7735 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7736 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7737 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7738 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7739 particular extension is supported.
7740 [Steve Henson]
7741
7742 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7743 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7744 [Steve Henson]
7745
7746 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7747 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7748 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7749 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7750 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7751 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7752 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7753 requires the destination to be valid.
7754
7755 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7756 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7757 [Steve Henson]
7758
7759 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7760 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7761 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7762 [Bodo Moeller]
7763
7764 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7765 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7766
7767 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7768 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7769 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7770 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7771 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7772 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7773 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7774 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7775 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7776 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7777 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7778 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7779 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7780 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7781 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7782 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7783 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7784 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7785 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7786 the new code.
7787 [Geoff Thorpe]
7788
7789 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7790 [Steve Henson]
7791
7792 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7793 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7794 become part of libeay.num as well.
7795 [Richard Levitte]
7796
7797 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7798 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7799 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7800 false once a handshake has been completed.
7801 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7802 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7803 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7804 client has followed the request.)
7805 [Bodo Moeller]
7806
7807 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7808 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7809 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7810 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7811
7812 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7813 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7814 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7815 [Bodo Moeller]
7816
7817 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7818 [Steve Henson]
7819
7820 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7821 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7822 "Douglas E. Engert" <[email protected]>.
7823 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7824
7825 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7826 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <[email protected]>).
7827 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7828
7829 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7830 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7831 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7832 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7833 [Geoff Thorpe]
7834
7835 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7836 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7837 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7838 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7839 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7840 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7841 [Geoff Thorpe]
7842
7843 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7844 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7845 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7846 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7847 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7848 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7849 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7850 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7851 [Geoff Thorpe]
7852
7853 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7854 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7855 [Geoff Thorpe]
7856
7857 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7858 [Ben Laurie]
7859
7860 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7861 md_data void pointer.
7862 [Ben Laurie]
7863
7864 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7865 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7866 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7867 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7868 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7869 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7870 [Ben Laurie]
7871
7872 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7873 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7874 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7875 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7876 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7877 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7878 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7879 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7880 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7881 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7882 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7883 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7884 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7885 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7886 rather than letting it slide.
7887
7888 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7889 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7890 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7891 [Geoff Thorpe]
7892
7893 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7894 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7895 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7896 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7897 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7898 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7899 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7900 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7901 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7902 [Geoff Thorpe]
7903
7904 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7905 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7906 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7907 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7908 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7909
7910 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7911 [Geoff Thorpe]
7912
7913 *) Add EVP test program.
7914 [Ben Laurie]
7915
7916 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7917 [Ben Laurie]
7918
7919 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7920 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7921 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7922 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7923 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7924 [Steve Henson]
7925
7926 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7927 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7928 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7929 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7930 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7931 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7932 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7933
7934 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7935 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7936 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7937 Usage example:
7938
7939 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7940
7941 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7942 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7943 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7944 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7945 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7946
7947 [Ben Laurie]
7948
7949 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7950 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7951 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7952 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7953 anyway): E.g.,
7954
7955 des_key_schedule ks;
7956
7957 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7958 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7959
7960 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7961 [Ben Laurie]
7962
7963 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7964 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7965 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7966 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7967 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7968 functions prevents this.
7969 [Steve Henson]
7970
7971 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7972 [Ben Laurie]
7973
7974 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7975 correct _ecb suffix.
7976 [Ben Laurie]
7977
7978 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7979 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7980 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7981 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7982 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7983 [Steve Henson]
7984
7985 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7986 [Richard Levitte]
7987
7988 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7989 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7990 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <[email protected]>]
7991 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7992
7993 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7994 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7995
7996 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7997 [Vern Staats <[email protected]>,
7998 Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>
7999 via Richard Levitte]
8000
8001 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
8002 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
8003 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
8004 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
8005 [Geoff Thorpe]
8006
8007 *) Speed up EVP routines.

8023 [Ben Laurie]
8024
8025 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
8026 ["Brian Havard" <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
8027
8028 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
8029 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
8030 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
8031 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
8032 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
8033 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
8034 [Steve Henson]
8035
8036 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
8037 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
8038 [Richard Levitte]
8039
8040 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
8041 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
8042 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
8043 [Verdon Walker <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
8044
8045 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8046 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8047 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8048 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8049 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8050 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8051 callback.
8052 [Richard Levitte]
8053
8054 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8055 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8056 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8057 and interrupts/cancellations.
8058 [Richard Levitte]
8059
8060 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8061 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8062 [Steve Henson]
8063
8064 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8065 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8066 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <[email protected]>]
8067
8068 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8069 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8070 kind of callback.
8071 [Richard Levitte]
8072
8073 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8074 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8075 than this minimum value is recommended.
8076 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8077
8078 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8079 that are easily reachable.
8080 [Richard Levitte]
8081
8082 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8083 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8084
8085 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8086
8087 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8088 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8089 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8090 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8091 [Steve Henson]
8092
8093 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8094 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8095 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8096 [Steve Henson]
8097
8098 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8099 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8100 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8101 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8102 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8103 internally such as S/MIME.
8104
8105 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8106 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8107 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8108
8109 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8110 applications.
8111 [Steve Henson]
8112
8113 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8114 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8115 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8116 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8117
8118 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8119
8120 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8121
8122 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8123 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8124 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8125 handling.
8126 [Steve Henson]
8127
8128 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8129 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8130 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8131 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8132 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8133 a window system and the like.
8134 [Richard Levitte]
8135
8136 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8137 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8138 [Geoff]
8139
8140 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8141 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8142 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8143 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8144 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8145 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8146 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8147 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8148 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8149 ENGINE structure.
8150 [Geoff]
8151
8152 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8153 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8154 tag cache.
8155 [Steve Henson]
8156
8157 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8158 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8159 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8160 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8161 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8162 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8163 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8164 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8165 [Geoff]
8166
8167 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8168 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8169 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8170 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8171 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8172 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8173 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8174 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8175 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8176 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8177 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8178 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8179 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8180 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8181 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8182 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8183 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8184 [Geoff]
8185
8186 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8187 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8188 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8189 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8190 internal engine_int.h header.
8191 [Geoff]
8192
8193 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8194 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8195 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8196 modify their own ones).
8197 [Geoff]
8198
8199 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8200 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8201 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8202 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8203 later on via ctrl() commands.
8204 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8205 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8206 structural references.
8207 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8208 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8209 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8210 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8211 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8212 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8213 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8214 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8215 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8216 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8217 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8218 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8219 [Geoff]
8220
8221 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8222 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8223 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8224 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8225 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8226 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8227 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8228 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8229 [Bodo Moeller]
8230
8231 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8232 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8233 [Steve Henson]
8234
8235 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8236 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8237 [Steve Henson]
8238
8239 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8240 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8241 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8242 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8243 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8244 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8245 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8246 [Steve Henson]
8247
8248 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8249 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8250 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8251 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8252 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8253
8254 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8255 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8256 generator).
8257 [Bodo Moeller]
8258
8259 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8260
8261 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8262 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8263 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8264
8265 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8266 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8267
8268 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8269 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8270 Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>]
8271
8272 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8273 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8274
8275 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8276 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8277
8278 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8279
8280 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8281 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8282 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8283 [Bodo Moeller]
8284
8285 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8286 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8287 [Richard Levitte]
8288
8289 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8290 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8291 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8292 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8293 is 40 of more characters long.
8294 [Steve Henson]
8295
8296 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8297 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8298 pointers.
8299 [Steve Henson]
8300
8301 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8302 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8303 [Bodo Moeller]
8304
8305 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8306 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8307 might.
8308 [Steve Henson]
8309
8310 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8311
8312 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8313 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8314
8315 ASN1 error codes
8316 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8317 ...
8318 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8319 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8320 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8321 ...
8322 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8323 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8324
8325 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8326 [Bodo Moeller]
8327
8328 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8329 suffices.
8330 [Bodo Moeller]
8331
8332 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8333 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8334 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8335 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8336 and
8337 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8338
8339 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8340 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8341
8342 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8343 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8344 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8345 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8346 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8347 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8348
8349 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8350 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8351
8352 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8353 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8354
8355 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8356 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8357
8358 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8359 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8360 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8361 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8362
8363 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8364 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8365
8366 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8367 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8368
8369 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8370 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8371 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8372 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8373 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8374 [Richard Levitte]
8375
8376 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8377 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8378 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8379 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8380 [Steve Henson]
8381
8382 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8383 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8384 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8385 trust settings.
8386 [Steve Henson]
8387
8388 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8389 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8390 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8391 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8392 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8393 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8394 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8395 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8396 ocsp utility.
8397 [Steve Henson]
8398
8399 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8400 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8401 [Steve Henson]
8402
8403 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8404 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8405 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8406 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8407 [Steve Henson]
8408
8409 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8410 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8411 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8412 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8413 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8414 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8415 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8416 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8417 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8418 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8419 [Steve Henson]
8420
8421 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8422 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8423 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8424 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8425 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8426 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8427 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8428 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8429
8430 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8431 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8432 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8433 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8434 [Richard Levitte]
8435
8436 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8437 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8438 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8439 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8440 opensslconf.h.
8441 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8442 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8443 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8444 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8445 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8446 what is available.
8447 [Richard Levitte]
8448
8449 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8450 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8451 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8452 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8453 auto incremented.
8454 [Steve Henson]
8455
8456 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8457 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8458 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8459 [Steve Henson]
8460
8461 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8462 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8463 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8464 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8465 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8466 [Steve Henson]
8467
8468 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8469 [Steve Henson]
8470
8471 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8472 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8473 option to ocsp utility.
8474 [Steve Henson]
8475
8476 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8477 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8478 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8479 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8480 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8481 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8482 the request is nonce-less.
8483 [Steve Henson]
8484
8485 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8486 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8487 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8488 [Bodo Moeller]
8489
8490 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8491 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8492 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8493 [Steve Henson]
8494
8495 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8496 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8497 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8498 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8499 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8500 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8501
8502 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8503 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8504 appear to exist.
8505 [Steve Henson]
8506
8507 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8508 additional certificates supplied.
8509 [Steve Henson]
8510
8511 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8512 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8513 signature against.
8514 [Richard Levitte]
8515
8516 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8517 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8518 AES OIDs.
8519
8520 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8521 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8522 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8523 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8524 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8525 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8526 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8527 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8528 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8529
8530 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8531 request to response.
8532 [Steve Henson]
8533
8534 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8535 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8536 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8537 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8538 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8539 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8540 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8541 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8542 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8543 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8544 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8545 [Steve Henson]
8546
8547 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8548 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8549 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8550 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8551 [Steve Henson]
8552
8553 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8554 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8555
8556 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8557 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8558 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8559 [Steve Henson]
8560
8561 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8562 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8563 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8564 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8565 <[email protected]>]
8566
8567 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8568 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8569 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8570 [Steve Henson]
8571
8572 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8573 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8574 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8575 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8576 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8577 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8578 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8579 <[email protected]>]
8580
8581 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8582 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8583 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8584 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8585 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8586 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8587 [Steve Henson]
8588
8589 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8590 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8591 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8592 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8593 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8594 printout format cleaned up.
8595 [Steve Henson]
8596
8597 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8598 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8599 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8600 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8601 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8602 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8603 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8604 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8605 [Steve Henson]
8606
8607 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8608 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8609 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8610 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8611 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8612 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8613 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8614 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8615 [Steve Henson]
8616
8617 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8618 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8619 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8620 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8621 section to use.
8622 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8623
8624 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8625 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8626 parsed, outputted or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8627 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8628 [Steve Henson]
8629
8630 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8631 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8632 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8633 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8634 in the index file.
8635 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
8636
8637 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8638 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8639 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8640 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>]
8641
8642 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8643 [Jonathan Bartlett <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
8644
8645 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8646 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8647 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8648 [Steve Henson]
8649
8650 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8651 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8652 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8653 [Bodo Moeller]
8654
8655 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8656 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8657 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8658 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8659 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8660 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8661 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8662 functions are provided:
8663
8664 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8665 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8666 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8667 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8668
8669 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8670 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8671 extended allocation function is enabled.
8672 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8673 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8674 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8675
8676 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8677 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8678 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8679 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8680 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8681 [Geoff Thorpe]
8682
8683 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8684 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8685 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8686 be queried.
8687 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8688 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8689 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8690 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8691
8692 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8693 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8694 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8695 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8696 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8697 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8698 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8699 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8700 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8701 [Richard Levitte]
8702
8703 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8704 provide utility functions which an application needing
8705 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8706 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8707 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8708
8709 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8710 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8711 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8712 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8713 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8714 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8715 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8716 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8717 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8718
8719 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8720 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8721 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8722 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8723 [Steve Henson]
8724
8725 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8726 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8727 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8728 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8729 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8730 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8731 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8732 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8733 will be added elsewhere.
8734 [Steve Henson]
8735
8736 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8737 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8738 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8739 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8740 [Steve Henson]
8741
8742 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8743 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8744 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8745 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8746 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8747 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8748 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8749 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8750 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8751 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8752 to produce the required SET OF.
8753 [Steve Henson]
8754
8755 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8756 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8757 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8758 [Richard Levitte]
8759
8760 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8761 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8762 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8763 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8764 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8765 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8766 [Steve Henson]
8767
8768 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8769 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8770 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8771 [Steve Henson]
8772
8773 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8774 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8775 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8776 [Richard Levitte]
8777
8778 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8779 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8780 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8781 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8782 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8783 [Steve Henson]
8784
8785 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8786 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8787 [Steve Henson]
8788
8789 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8790 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8791 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8792 certificates and CRLs.
8793 [Steve Henson]
8794
8795 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8796 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8797 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8798 [Steve Henson]
8799
8800 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8801 entries for variables.
8802 [Steve Henson]
8803
8804 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8805 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8806 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8807 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8808 [Bodo Moeller]
8809
8810 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8811 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8812 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8813 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8814 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8815 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8816 [Bodo Moeller]
8817
8818 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8819 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8820
8821 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8822 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8823 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8824 [Steve Henson]
8825
8826 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8827 print routines.
8828 [Steve Henson]
8829
8830 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8831 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8832 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8833 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8834 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8835 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8836 [Steve Henson]
8837
8838 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8839 [Steve Henson]
8840
8841 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8842 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8843 for now but they will eventually go away.
8844 [Steve Henson]
8845
8846 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8847 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8848 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8849 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8850 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8851 has also been converted to the new form.
8852 [Steve Henson]
8853
8854 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8855 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8856 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8857 for negative moduli.
8858 [Bodo Moeller]
8859
8860 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8861 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8862 [Bodo Moeller]
8863
8864 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8865 set.
8866 [Bodo Moeller]
8867
8868 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8869 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8870 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8871 type-specific callbacks.
8872 [Geoff Thorpe]
8873
8874 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8875 RFC 2712.
8876 [Veers Staats <[email protected]>,
8877 Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>, via Richard Levitte]
8878
8879 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8880 in sections depending on the subject.
8881 [Richard Levitte]
8882
8883 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8884 Windows.
8885 [Richard Levitte]
8886
8887 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8888 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8889 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8890 be handled deterministically).
8891 [Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
8892
8893 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8894 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8895 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8896 [Bodo Moeller]
8897
8898 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8899 [Bodo Moeller]
8900
8901 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8902 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8903 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8904 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8905 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8906 [Bodo Moeller]
8907
8908 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8909 sign of the number in question.
8910
8911 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8912
8913 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8914 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8915 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8916 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8917 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8918 [Bodo Moeller]
8919
8920 *) New function BN_swap.
8921 [Bodo Moeller]
8922
8923 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8924 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8925 results on negative inputs.
8926 [Bodo Moeller]
8927
8928 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8929 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8930 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8931 [Bodo Moeller]
8932
8933 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8934 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8935 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8936 and add new functions:
8937
8938 BN_nnmod
8939 BN_mod_sqr
8940 BN_mod_add
8941 BN_mod_add_quick
8942 BN_mod_sub
8943 BN_mod_sub_quick
8944 BN_mod_lshift1
8945 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8946 BN_mod_lshift
8947 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8948
8949 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8950
8951 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8952 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8953
8954 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8955 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8956 be reduced modulo m.
8957 [Lenka Fibikova <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
8958
8959#if 0
8960 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8961 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8962 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8963
8964 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8965 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8966 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8967 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8968 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8969 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8970 differing sizes.
8971 [Richard Levitte]
8972#endif
8973
8974 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8975 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8976 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8977 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8978 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8979
8980 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8981 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8982 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8983 cause any problems.
8984 [Bodo Moeller]
8985
8986 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8987 [Richard Levitte]
8988
8989 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8990 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8991 [Richard Levitte]
8992
8993 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8994 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8995 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8996 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8997 time)
8998 [Richard Levitte]
8999
9000 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
9001 [Richard Levitte]
9002
9003 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
9004 [Richard Levitte]
9005
9006 *) Add the following functions:
9007
9008 ENGINE_load_cswift()
9009 ENGINE_load_chil()
9010 ENGINE_load_atalla()
9011 ENGINE_load_nuron()
9012 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
9013
9014 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
9015 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
9016 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
9017 libraries unless it's really needed.
9018
9019 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
9020 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
9021 declarations (they differed!).
9022 [Richard Levitte]
9023
9024 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
9025 [Richard Levitte]
9026
9027 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
9028 [Richard Levitte]
9029
9030 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
9031 [Bodo Moeller]
9032
9033 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
9034 identity, and test if they are actually available.
9035 [Richard Levitte]
9036
9037 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
9038 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
9039 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>]
9040
9041 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
9042 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
9043 [Richard Levitte]
9044
9045 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9046 [Richard Levitte]
9047
9048 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9049 [Richard Levitte]
9050
9051 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9052 [Ben Laurie]
9053
9054 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9055 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9056 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9057
9058 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9059 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9060 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9061 different shared library filenames on each system.
9062 [Geoff Thorpe]
9063
9064 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9065 [Richard Levitte]
9066
9067 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9068 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9069 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9070 of two sections.
9071 [Bernd Matthes <[email protected]>, Steve Henson]
9072
9073 *) NCONF changes.
9074 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9075 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9076 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9077 binary backward compatibility.
9078 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9079 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9080 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9081 LDAP server.
9082 [Richard Levitte]
9083
9084 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9085 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9086 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9087 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9088 this case.
9089 [Steve Henson]
9090
9091 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9092 [Ben Laurie]
9093
9094 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9095 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9096 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9097 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9098 set.
9099 [Steve Henson]
9100
9101 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9102 [Richard Levitte]
9103
9104 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9105
9106 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9107 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9108 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9109
9110 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9111
9112 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9113
9114 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9115 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9116 [Steve Henson]
9117
9118 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9119
9120 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9121
9122 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9123 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9124
9125 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9126 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9127
9128 [Steve Henson]
9129
9130 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9131 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9132 specifications.
9133 [Steve Henson]
9134
9135 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9136 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9137 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9138 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9139
9140 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9141 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9142 [Richard Levitte]
9143
9144 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9145
9146 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9147 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9148 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9149 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9150 [Bodo Moeller]
9151
9152 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9153 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9154 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9155 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9156 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9157
9158 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9159 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9160 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9161 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9162 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9163 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9164 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9165 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9166 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9167 [Bodo Moeller]
9168
9169 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9170
9171 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9172 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9173 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9174 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9175 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9176
9177 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9178 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9179 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9180
9181 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9182
9183 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9184 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9185 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9186 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9187 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9188 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9189 [Geoff Thorpe]
9190
9191 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9192 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9193 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9194 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9195 (Found by Steve Haslam <[email protected]>.)
9196 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9197
9198 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9199 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9200 [Zeev Lieber <[email protected]>]
9201
9202 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9203 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9204 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9205 EVP_cleanup().
9206 [Richard Levitte]
9207
9208 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9209 being properly terminated.
9210 [Richard Levitte]
9211
9212 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9213 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9214 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9215 [[email protected] via Richard Levitte]
9216
9217 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9218 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9219 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9220 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9221 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9222 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9223 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9224 change.
9225 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9226
9227 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9228 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9229 [Bodo Moeller]
9230
9231 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9232 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9233 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9234 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9235 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9236 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9237 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9238 [Patrick McCormick <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
9239
9240 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9241 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9242 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <[email protected]>
9243 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9244 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9245
9246 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9247 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9248 [Steve Henson]
9249
9250 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9251
9252 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9253 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9254 [Lynn Gazis <[email protected]>]
9255
9256 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9257
9258 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9259 and get fix the header length calculation.
9260 [Florian Weimer <[email protected]>,
9261 Alon Kantor <[email protected]> (and others),
9262 Steve Henson]
9263
9264 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9265 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9266 assertions could call abort()).
9267 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
9268
9269 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9270
9271 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9272 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9273 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9274 supplied buffer.
9275 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <[email protected]>, James Yonan <[email protected]>]
9276
9277 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9278 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9279 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9280 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9281
9282 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9283 [Nils Larsch]
9284
9285 *) New option
9286 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9287 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9288 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9289
9290 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9291 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9292 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9293 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9294 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9295 applications.
9296 [Bodo Moeller]
9297
9298 *) Changes in security patch:
9299
9300 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9301 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9302 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9303 F30602-01-2-0537.
9304
9305 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9306 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9307 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9308 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9309 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <[email protected]>, James Yonan <[email protected]>]
9310
9311 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9312 happen in practice.
9313 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9314
9315 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9316 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9317 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9318
9319 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9320 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9321 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9322
9323 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9324 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9325 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9326
9327 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9328
9329 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9330 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9331 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9332
9333 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9334 [Nils Larsch <[email protected]>]
9335
9336 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9337 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9338 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9339 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9340 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9341 <[email protected]> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9342 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9343
9344 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9345 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9346 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9347 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9348 [Bodo Moeller]
9349
9350 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9351 [Bodo Moeller]
9352
9353 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9354 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9355 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9356 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9357 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9358 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
9359
9360 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9361 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9362 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9363 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9364 <[email protected]>).
9365 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9366
9367 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9368 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9369 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9370 BN_generate_prime().)
9371
9372 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9373 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9374 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9375 better.
9376 [Bodo Moeller]
9377
9378 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9379 Tom Wu <[email protected]>.
9380 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9381
9382 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9383 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9384 when using non-blocking I/O.
9385 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9386
9387 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9388 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9389
9390 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9391 Yoram Zahavi <[email protected]>).
9392 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9393
9394 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9395 configuration for the versions before that.
9396 [Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Richard Levitte]
9397
9398 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9399 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9400 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9401 <[email protected]>.
9402 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9403
9404 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9405 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9406 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <[email protected]>.
9407 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9408
9409 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9410 value is 0.
9411 [Richard Levitte]
9412
9413 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9414 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9415 [Toomas Kiisk <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9416
9417 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9418 [Neale Ferguson <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9419
9420 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9421 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9422 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9423 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9424 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9425 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9426 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9427 session cache.
9428
9429 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9430 using a local variable.
9431 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9432
9433 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9434 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9435 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9436
9437 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9438 [Richard Levitte]
9439
9440 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9441 ["Dan S. Camper" <[email protected]>]
9442
9443 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9444 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9445 [D P Chang <[email protected]>]
9446
9447 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9448
9449 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9450 <[email protected]>. (The previous implementation
9451 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9452 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9453 [Bodo Moeller]
9454
9455 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9456 present.
9457 [Steve Henson]
9458
9459 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9460 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9461 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9462 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9463 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9464
9465 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9466 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9467 [Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9468
9469 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9470 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9471 [Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9472
9473 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9474 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9475 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9476 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9477
9478 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9479 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9480 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9481 modules).
9482 [Richard Shapiro <[email protected]>]
9483
9484 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9485 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9486 from 0.9.7.
9487 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <[email protected]>, Mark Cox]
9488
9489 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9490 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9491 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9492 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9493
9494 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9495 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9496 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9497 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9498
9499 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9500 [Gary Benson <[email protected]>]
9501
9502 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9503 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9504 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9505 [Bodo Moeller]
9506
9507 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9508 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9509 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9510 become invalid.
9511 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <[email protected]>
9512
9513 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9514 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9515 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9516 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9517 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9518 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9519 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9520 [Bodo Moeller]
9521
9522 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9523 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9524 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9525 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9526
9527 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9528 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9529 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9530 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9531 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9532 the client will at least see that alert.
9533 [Bodo Moeller]
9534
9535 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9536 correctly.
9537 [Bodo Moeller]
9538
9539 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9540 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9541 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <[email protected]>]
9542
9543 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9544 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9545 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9546 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9547 HelloRequest.
9548
9549 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9550 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9551 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <[email protected]>]
9552
9553 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9554 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9555 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9556 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9557 may leak via logfiles.)
9558
9559 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9560 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9561 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9562 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9563 the legal range.
9564 [Bodo Moeller]
9565
9566 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9567 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <[email protected]>).
9568 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9569
9570 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9571 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9572 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9573 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9574 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9575 [Bodo Moeller]
9576
9577 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9578 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <[email protected]>]
9579
9580 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9581 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9582 followed by modular reduction.
9583 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <[email protected]>]
9584
9585 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9586 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9587 [Bodo Moeller]
9588
9589 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9590 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9591 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9592 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <[email protected]>.)
9593 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9594
9595 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9596 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9597
9598 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9599 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <[email protected]>).
9600 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9601
9602 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9603 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9604 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9605 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9606 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9607 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9608 automatically.
9609 [Tim Mooney <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9610
9611 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9612 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9613 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9614 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9615 [Petr Lampa <[email protected]>]
9616
9617 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9618 [Andy Polyakov]
9619
9620 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9621 specifically for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9622 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9623 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9624 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9625 to allow the necessary settings.
9626 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9627
9628 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9629 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9630 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9631 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9632 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9633
9634 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9635 dh->length and always used
9636
9637 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9638
9639 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9640 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9641 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9642 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9643 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9644 dh->length.
9645
9646 So switch back to
9647
9648 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9649
9650 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9651 otherwise.
9652 [Bodo Moeller]
9653
9654 *) In
9655
9656 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9657 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9658 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9659 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9660
9661 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9662 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9663 always reject numbers >= n.
9664 [Bodo Moeller]
9665
9666 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9667 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9668 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9669 variable) is not atomic.
9670 [Bodo Moeller]
9671
9672 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9673 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9674 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9675 [Travis Vitek <[email protected]>]
9676
9677 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9678 [Albert Chin-A-Young <[email protected]>]
9679
9680 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9681 little-endian MIPS.
9682 [Ralf Baechle <[email protected]>]
9683
9684 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9685 [Richard Levitte]
9686
9687 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9688
9689 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9690 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9691 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <[email protected]>:
9692 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9693 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9694 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9695 to traverse all of 'state'.
9696
9697 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9698 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9699 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9700
9701 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9702 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9703
9704 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9705 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9706 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9707 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9708 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9709 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9710 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9711 further strengthens the PRNG.
9712 [Bodo Moeller]
9713
9714 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9715 [Andy Polyakov]
9716
9717 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9718 an error message in this case.
9719 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9720
9721 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9722 [Steve Henson]
9723
9724 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9725 positive and less than q.
9726 [Bodo Moeller]
9727
9728 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9729 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9730 that itself.
9731 [Paul Rose <[email protected]>]
9732
9733 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9734 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9735 [Bodo Moeller]
9736
9737 *) Fix OAEP check.
9738 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9739
9740 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9741 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9742 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9743 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9744 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9745 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9746 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9747 paper.)
9748
9749 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9750 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9751 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9752 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9753
9754 Both problems are now fixed.
9755 [Bodo Moeller]
9756
9757 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9758 (previously it was 1024).
9759 [Bodo Moeller]
9760
9761 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9762 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9763 [Steve Henson]
9764
9765 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9766 [Steve Henson]
9767
9768 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9769 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9770 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9771 [Steve Henson]
9772
9773 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9774 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9775 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9776 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9777 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9778 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9779 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9780 environment variables.
9781
9782 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9783 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9784 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9785 [Bodo Moeller]
9786
9787 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9788 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9789 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9790 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9791 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9792 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9793 [Bodo Moeller]
9794
9795 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9796 versions of 'test'.
9797 [Bodo Moeller]
9798
9799 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9800
9801 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9802 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <[email protected]>]
9803
9804 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9805 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9806 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9807 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9808 CygWin.
9809 [Richard Levitte]
9810
9811 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9812 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9813 amount of data available.
9814 [Steve Henson, reported by [email protected]]
9815 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9816
9817 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9818 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9819 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9820 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9821 [Bodo Moeller]
9822
9823 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9824 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9825 and UnixWare.
9826 [Richard Levitte]
9827
9828 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9829 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9830 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9831 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9832 [Ulf Moeller]
9833
9834 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9835 [Andy Polyakov]
9836
9837 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9838 [Richard Levitte]
9839
9840 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9841 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9842 [Steve Henson]
9843 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9844
9845 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9846 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9847 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9848 (but broken) behaviour.
9849 [Steve Henson]
9850
9851 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9852 it when found.
9853 [Tim Rice <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
9854
9855 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9856 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9857 [Bodo Moeller]
9858
9859 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9860 did not exist.
9861 [Bodo Moeller]
9862
9863 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9864 [Jeremy Cooper <[email protected]>]
9865
9866 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9867 [Richard Levitte]
9868
9869 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9870 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9871 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>]
9872
9873 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9874 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9875 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9876 [Steve Henson]
9877
9878 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9879 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9880 [Ulf Moeller]
9881
9882 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9883 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9884
9885 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9886
9887 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9888
9889 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9890 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9891 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9892 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9893 [Bodo Moeller]
9894
9895 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9896 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9897
9898 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9899 [Kurt Hockenbury <[email protected]> and
9900 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <[email protected]>]
9901
9902 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9903 was empty.
9904 [Steve Henson]
9905 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9906
9907 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9908 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9909 but the code is actually correct.
9910 [Steve Henson]
9911
9912 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9913 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9914 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9915 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9916 and leaves the highest bit random.
9917 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9918
9919 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9920 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9921 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9922 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9923 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9924 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9925 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9926 [Bodo Moeller]
9927
9928 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9929 [Ulf Moeller]
9930
9931 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9932 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9933 [Steve Henson]
9934
9935 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9936 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9937 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9938 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9939 headers.
9940 [Richard Levitte]
9941
9942 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9943 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9944 and break the signature.
9945 [Steve Henson]
9946 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9947
9948 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9949 DH ciphersuites.
9950 [Steve Henson]
9951
9952 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9953 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9954 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9955 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9956 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9957 [Bodo Moeller]
9958
9959 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9960 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <[email protected]>]
9961
9962 *) ./config script fixes.
9963 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9964
9965 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9966 [Bodo Moeller]
9967
9968 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9969 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9970 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9971 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9972 [Steve Henson, reported by <[email protected]>]
9973
9974 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9975 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9976 [Bodo Moeller]
9977
9978 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9979 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9980 [Steve Henson]
9981
9982 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9983 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9984 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9985 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <[email protected]>]
9986
9987 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9988 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9989
9990 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9991 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9992 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9993 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9994 "Reddie, Steven" <[email protected]>]
9995
9996 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9997 [Bodo Moeller]
9998
9999 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
10000 [Ulf Möller]
10001
10002 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
10003 [Ulf Möller]
10004
10005 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
10006 [Bodo Moeller]
10007
10008 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
10009 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
10010 [Bodo Moeller]
10011
10012 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
10013 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
10014 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
10015 result of the server certificate verification.)
10016 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10017
10018 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
10019 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
10020 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
10021 [Bodo Moeller]
10022
10023 *) Fix SSL_peek:
10024 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
10025 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
10026 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
10027 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
10028 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
10029 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
10030 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
10031 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
10032 [Bodo Moeller]
10033
10034 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
10035 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
10036 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
10037 happening the other way round.
10038 [Geoff Thorpe]
10039
10040 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
10041 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
10042 [Bodo Moeller]
10043
10044 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10045 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10046 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10047 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10048 [Richard Levitte]
10049
10050 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10051 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <[email protected]>]
10052
10053 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10054
10055 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10056 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10057 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10058 that.
10059
10060 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10061
10062 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10063
10064 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10065 static ones.
10066 [Richard Levitte]
10067
10068 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10069
10070 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10071 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10072 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10073 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10074 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <[email protected]>]
10075
10076 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10077 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10078 matter what.
10079 [Richard Levitte]
10080
10081 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10082 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10083
10084 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10085
10086 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10087 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10088 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10089 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10090 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10091 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10092 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10093 by the Finished messages.
10094 [Bodo Moeller]
10095
10096 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10097 [Jeffrey Altman <[email protected]>]
10098
10099 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10100 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10101 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10102 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10103 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10104 appropriately.
10105 [Steve Henson]
10106
10107 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10108 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10109 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10110 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10111 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10112 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10113 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10114 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10115 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10116 together.
10117 [Steve Henson]
10118
10119 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10120 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10121 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10122 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10123
10124 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10125 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10126 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10127 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10128 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10129 the answer.
10130
10131 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10132 been tested well enough.
10133 [Richard Levitte]
10134
10135 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10136 it can return incorrect results.
10137 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10138 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10139 [Bodo Moeller]
10140
10141 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10142 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10143 include zero length content when signing messages.
10144 [Steve Henson]
10145
10146 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10147 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10148 [Bodo Möller]
10149
10150 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10151 [Richard Levitte]
10152
10153 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10154 wrong sign.
10155 [Ulf Möller]
10156
10157 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10158 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10159 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10160 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10161 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10162 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <[email protected]>.
10163 [Richard Levitte]
10164
10165 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10166 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]>]
10167
10168 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10169 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <[email protected]>]
10170
10171 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10172 random number < q in the DSA library.
10173 [Ulf Möller]
10174
10175 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10176 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10177 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10178 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10179 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10180 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10181 just makes things more complicated.)
10182 [Bodo Moeller]
10183
10184 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10185 from EGD.
10186 [Ben Laurie]
10187
10188 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10189 work better on such systems.
10190 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
10191
10192 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10193 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10194 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10195 [Steve Henson]
10196
10197 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10198 if there was more than one signature.
10199 [Sven Uszpelkat <[email protected]>]
10200
10201 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10202 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10203 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10204 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10205 [Richard Levitte]
10206
10207 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10208 rather than always using the current time.
10209 [Steve Henson]
10210
10211 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10212 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10213 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10214 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10215 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10216 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10217
10218 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10219 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10220
10221 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10222
10223 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10224 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10225 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10226 the same hash value.
10227
10228 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10229 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10230 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10231 with X509_STORE internally.
10232
10233 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10234 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10235
10236 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10237 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10238 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10239 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10240 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10241 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10242 entirely (maybe later...).
10243
10244 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10245
10246 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10247 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10248 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10249 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10250 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10251 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10252 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10253 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10254
10255 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10256 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10257
10258 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10259 to customise the verify behaviour.
10260 [Steve Henson]
10261
10262 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10263 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10264 [Steve Henson]
10265
10266 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10267 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10268 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10269 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10270 request is improperly encoded.
10271 [Steve Henson]
10272
10273 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10274 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10275 BIO_write(b, ...).
10276
10277 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10278 [[email protected]]
10279
10280 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10281 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10282 words set to zero.)
10283 [Bodo Moeller]
10284
10285 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10286 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10287 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10288 [Bodo Moeller]
10289
10290 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10291 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10292 BIO/fp routines also added.
10293 [Steve Henson]
10294
10295 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10296 [Andreas Schneider <[email protected]>]
10297
10298 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10299 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10300 demos/state_machine.
10301 [Ben Laurie]
10302
10303 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10304 generation and verification.
10305 [Steve Henson]
10306
10307 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10308 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10309 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10310 encode and decode it manually.
10311 [Steve Henson]
10312
10313 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10314 compile under VC++.
10315 [Oscar Jacobsson <[email protected]>]
10316
10317 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10318 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10319 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10320 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <[email protected]>]
10321
10322 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10323 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10324 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10325 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10326 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10327 [Steve Henson]
10328
10329 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10330 [Richard Levitte]
10331
10332 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10333 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10334 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10335
10336 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10337 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10338 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10339 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10340 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10341 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10342 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10343 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10344
10345 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10346 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10347
10348 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10349
10350 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10351 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10352 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10353
10354 [Richard Levitte]
10355
10356 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10357 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10358 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10359 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10360 [Richard Levitte]
10361
10362 *) MD4 implemented.
10363 [Assar Westerlund <[email protected]>, Richard Levitte]
10364
10365 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10366 [Richard Levitte]
10367
10368 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10369 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10370 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10371 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10372 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10373 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10374 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10375 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10376 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10377 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10378 short or long names are found.
10379 [Steve Henson]
10380
10381 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10382 [Scott Uroff <[email protected]>]
10383
10384 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10385 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10386 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10387 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10388
10389 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10390 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10391 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10392 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10393 [Bodo Moeller]
10394
10395 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10396 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10397 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10398 [Richard Levitte]
10399
10400 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10401 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10402 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10403 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10404 to allow the various flags to be set.
10405 [Steve Henson]
10406
10407 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10408 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10409 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10410 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10411 dates to be checked.
10412 [Steve Henson]
10413
10414 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10415 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10416 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10417 [Steve Henson]
10418
10419 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10420 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10421 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10422 [Steve Henson]
10423
10424 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10425 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10426 [Bodo Moeller]
10427
10428 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10429 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10430 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10431 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10432 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10433 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10434 [Richard Levitte]
10435
10436 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10437 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10438 Random Numbers.
10439 [Ulf Möller]
10440
10441 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10442 DSA key.
10443 [Steve Henson]
10444
10445 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10446 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10447 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10448 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10449 form signing output easier to verify.
10450 [Steve Henson]
10451
10452 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10453 [Steve Henson]
10454
10455 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10456 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10457 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10458 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10459 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10460 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10461 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10462 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10463 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10464 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10465 [Steve Henson]
10466
10467 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10468
10469 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10470 the syntax given in objects.README.
10471 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10472 obj_mac.h.
10473 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10474 obj_mac.h.
10475
10476 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10477 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10478 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10479 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10480 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10481 consistent name changes.
10482 [Richard Levitte]
10483
10484 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10485 [Bodo Moeller]
10486
10487 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10488 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10489 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10490 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10491 [Richard Levitte]
10492
10493 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10494 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10495 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10496 of safestack.h .
10497 [Steve Henson]
10498
10499 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10500 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10501 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10502 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10503 [Steve Henson]
10504
10505 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10506 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10507 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10508 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10509 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10510 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10511 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10512 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10513 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10514 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10515 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10516 [Steve Henson]
10517
10518 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10519 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10520 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10521 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10522 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10523 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10524 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10525 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10526 Adrian Peck <[email protected]> for posting details of the modified
10527 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10528 [Steve Henson]
10529
10530 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10531 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10532 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10533 [Phillip Porch <[email protected]>]
10534
10535 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10536 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10537 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10538 omit any duplicate addresses.
10539 [Steve Henson]
10540
10541 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10542 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10543 [Bodo Moeller]
10544
10545 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10546 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10547 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10548 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10549 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10550 [Bodo Moeller]
10551
10552 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10553 software:
10554 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10555 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10556 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10557 Free => OPENSSL_free
10558 [Richard Levitte]
10559
10560 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10561 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10562 [Bodo Moeller]
10563
10564 *) CygWin32 support.
10565 [John Jarvie <[email protected]>]
10566
10567 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10568 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10569 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10570 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10571 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10572 approach.
10573 [Geoff Thorpe]
10574
10575 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10576 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10577 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10578 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10579 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10580 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10581 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10582 [Geoff Thorpe]
10583
10584 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10585 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10586 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10587 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10588 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10589 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10590 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10591 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10592 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10593 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10594 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10595 [Bodo Moeller]
10596
10597 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10598 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10599 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10600 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10601 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10602
10603 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10604 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10605 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10606 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10607 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10608
10609 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10610 ciphers.
10611
10612 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10613 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10614 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10615 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10616
10617 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10618
10619 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10620 of macros.
10621
10622 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10623 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10624 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10625 flags.
10626
10627 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10628 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10629 any installed hardware versions can.
10630 [Steve Henson]
10631
10632 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10633 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10634 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10635 number.
10636 [Bodo Moeller]
10637
10638 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10639 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10640 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10641 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10642 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10643
10644 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10645 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10646 [Steve Henson]
10647
10648 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10649 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10650 [Richard Levitte]
10651
10652 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10653 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10654 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10655 features.
10656 [Steve Henson]
10657
10658 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10659 [Ulf Möller]
10660
10661 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10662 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10663 but no ssl client purpose.
10664 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <[email protected]>]
10665
10666 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10667 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10668 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10669 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10670 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10671 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10672 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10673 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10674 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10675 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10676 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10677 [Steve Henson]
10678
10679 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10680 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10681 be obtained from the error queue.
10682 [Bodo Moeller]
10683
10684 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10685 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10686 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10687 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10688 [Bodo Moeller]
10689
10690 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10691 [Ulf Möller]
10692
10693 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10694 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10695 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10696 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10697 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10698 [Geoff Thorpe]
10699
10700 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10701 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10702 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10703 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10704 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10705 [Geoff Thorpe]
10706
10707 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10708 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10709 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10710 may not be NULL.
10711 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>, Bodo Moeller]
10712
10713 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10714 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10715 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10716 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10717 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10718 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10719 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10720 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10721 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10722 or "the configuration storage API"...
10723
10724 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10725
10726 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10727 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10728
10729 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10730
10731 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10732
10733 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10734 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10735 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10736 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10737 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10738 arguments as the old CONF_* functions with the exception of the
10739 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10740
10741 To make it easier to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10742 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10743 [Richard Levitte]
10744
10745 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10746 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10747 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10748 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10749 [Bodo Moeller]
10750
10751 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10752 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10753 them in a portable way.
10754 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10755
10756 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10757
10758 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10759
10760 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10761 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10762
10763 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10764 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10765 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10766 <[email protected]>]
10767
10768 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10769 was larger than the MD block size.
10770 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <[email protected]>]
10771
10772 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10773 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10774 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10775 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10776 components.
10777 [Steve Henson]
10778
10779 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10780 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10781 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <[email protected]>]
10782
10783 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10784 discouraged.
10785 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <[email protected]>]
10786
10787 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10788 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10789 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10790 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10791 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10792 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10793
10794 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10795 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10796
10797 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10798 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10799 [Bodo Moeller]
10800
10801 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10802 [Bodo Moeller]
10803
10804 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10805 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10806 its own key.
10807 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10808 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10809 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10810 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10811 [Bodo Moeller]
10812
10813 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10814 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10815 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10816 does not suppress any output.
10817 [Richard Levitte]
10818
10819 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10820 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10821 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10822 with all the associated security issues.
10823
10824 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10825 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10826 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10827 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10828 use the value in the default purpose.
10829 [Steve Henson]
10830
10831 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10832 and fix a memory leak.
10833 [Steve Henson]
10834
10835 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10836 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10837 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10838 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10839 [Bodo Moeller]
10840
10841 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10842 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10843 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10844 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10845 [Bodo Moeller]
10846
10847 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10848 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10849 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10850 [Bodo Moeller]
10851
10852 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10853 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10854 [Bodo Moeller]
10855
10856 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10857 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10858 which was free.
10859 [Steve Henson]
10860
10861 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10862 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10863 [Bodo Moeller]
10864
10865 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10866 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10867 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10868 [Bodo Moeller]
10869
10870 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10871 number generation fails.
10872 [Bodo Moeller]
10873
10874 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10875 [Bodo Moeller]
10876
10877 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10878 [Rolf Haberrecker <[email protected]>]
10879
10880 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10881 [Ulf Möller]
10882
10883 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10884 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]> and Anonymous]
10885
10886 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10887 [Lutz Behnke <[email protected]>]
10888
10889 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10890
10891 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10892 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10893 [Steve Henson]
10894
10895 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10896 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <[email protected]>]
10897
10898 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10899 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10900 [Ulf Möller]
10901
10902 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10903 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10904 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10905 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10906 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10907 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <[email protected]>]
10908
10909 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10910 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10911 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10912 for example.
10913 [Steve Henson]
10914
10915 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10916 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10917 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10918 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10919 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10920 counter, some don't.)
10921 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10922 counters or duplicate objects.
10923 [Steve Henson]
10924
10925 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10926 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10927 [Steve Henson]
10928
10929 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10930 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10931 pointed out by David Sacerdote <[email protected]>]
10932
10933 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10934 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10935 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10936 or -rand.
10937 [Ulf Möller]
10938
10939 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10940 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10941 [Steve Henson]
10942
10943 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10944 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10945 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10946 cipher list.
10947 [Steve Henson]
10948
10949 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10950 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10951 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10952 [Steve Henson]
10953
10954 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10955 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10956 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10957 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10958 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10959 should work without changes.
10960 [Richard Levitte]
10961
10962 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10963 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10964 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10965 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10966 must be defined. E.g.,
10967 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10968 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10969 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10970 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10971
10972 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10973 record layer.
10974 [Bodo Moeller]
10975
10976 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10977 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10978 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10979 [Steve Henson]
10980
10981 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10982 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10983 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10984 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10985 [Steve Henson]
10986
10987 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10988 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10989 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10990 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10991 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10992 is prompted for as usual.
10993 [Steve Henson]
10994
10995 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10996 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10997 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10998 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10999
11000 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
11001 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
11002 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
11003 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
11004 [Steve Henson]
11005
11006 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
11007 [Andy Polyakov]
11008
11009 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
11010 of seed file.
11011 [Steve Henson]
11012
11013 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
11014 [Bodo Moeller]
11015
11016 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
11017 [Steve Henson]
11018
11019 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
11020 bits.
11021 [Ulf Möller]
11022
11023 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
11024 [Ulf Möller]
11025
11026 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
11027 [Andy Polyakov]
11028
11029 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
11030 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
11031 [Ulf Möller]
11032
11033 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
11034 options to produce them.
11035 [Steve Henson]
11036
11037 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
11038 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
11039 [Ulf Möller]
11040
11041 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
11042 for p == 0.
11043 [Ulf Möller]
11044
11045 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11046 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11047 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11048 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11049 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11050 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11051 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11052 [Steve Henson]
11053
11054 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11055 [Steve Henson]
11056
11057 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11058 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11059 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11060 [Bodo Moeller]
11061
11062 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11063 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
11064
11065 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11066 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11067 [Ulf Möller]
11068
11069 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11070 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11071 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11072 has already seen).
11073 [Bodo Moeller]
11074
11075 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11076 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11077
11078 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11079 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11080 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11081 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11082 generation becomes much faster.
11083
11084 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11085 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11086 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11087 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11088 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11089 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11090 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11091 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11092 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11093 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11094 [Bodo Moeller]
11095
11096 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11097 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11098 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11099 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11100 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11101 trial division stage.
11102 [Bodo Moeller]
11103
11104 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11105 as ASN1_TIME.
11106 [Steve Henson]
11107
11108 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11109 [Steve Henson]
11110
11111 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11112 [Ulf Möller]
11113
11114 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11115 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11116 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11117 the comments.
11118 [Ulf Möller]
11119
11120 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11121 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11122 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11123 [Bodo Moeller]
11124
11125 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11126 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11127 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11128 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11129
11130 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11131 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11132 [Steve Henson]
11133
11134 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11135 [Ulf Möller]
11136
11137 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11138 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11139 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11140 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11141 [Ulf Möller]
11142
11143 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11144 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11145 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11146 [Ulf Möller]
11147
11148 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11149 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11150 (instead of parameters) in future.
11151 [Steve Henson]
11152
11153 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11154 when a new cipher list is set.
11155 [Steve Henson]
11156
11157 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11158 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11159 wrong.
11160
11161 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11162 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11163 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11164
11165 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11166 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11167 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11168 an error is flagged.
11169
11170 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11171 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11172 the readability was also increased :-)
11173 [Lutz Jaenicke <[email protected]>]
11174
11175 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11176 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11177 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11178 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11179 as the root CA.
11180 [Steve Henson]
11181
11182 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11183 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11184 [Steve Henson]
11185
11186 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11187 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11188 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11189 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11190 instead.
11191
11192 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11193 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11194 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11195 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11196 because they handle more complex structures.)
11197 [Steve Henson]
11198
11199 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11200 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11201 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11202 [Kris Kennaway <[email protected]>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11203
11204 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11205 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11206 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11207 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11208 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11209 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11210 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11211 [Ulf Möller]
11212
11213 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11214 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11215 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11216 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11217 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11218 [Bodo Moeller]
11219
11220 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11221 [Bodo Moeller]
11222
11223 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11224 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11225 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11226 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11227 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11228 to use this.
11229
11230 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11231 code.
11232 [Steve Henson]
11233
11234 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11235 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11236 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11237 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11238 [Steve Henson]
11239
11240 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11241 [Ulf Möller]
11242
11243 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11244 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11245 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11246 international characters are used.
11247
11248 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11249 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11250 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11251 in ASN1 order.
11252 [Steve Henson]
11253
11254 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11255 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11256 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11257 request.
11258
11259 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11260 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11261 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11262 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11263 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11264 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11265
11266 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11267 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11268 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11269 be handled by the string table functions.
11270
11271 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11272 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11273 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11274 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11275 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11276 types at all.
11277 [Steve Henson]
11278
11279 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11280 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11281 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11282 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11283 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11284
11285 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11286 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11287 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11288 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11289 [Bodo Moeller]
11290
11291 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11292 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11293 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11294 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11295 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11296 SHA1.
11297 [Andy Polyakov]
11298
11299 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11300 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11301 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11302 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11303 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11304 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11305 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11306 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11307
11308 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11309 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11310 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11311 [Steve Henson]
11312
11313 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11314 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11315 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11316 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11317 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11318 support to pkcs8 application.
11319 [Steve Henson]
11320
11321 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11322 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11323 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11324 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11325 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11326 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11327 [Bodo Moeller]
11328
11329 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11330 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11331 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11332 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11333 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11334 consistency.
11335 [Bodo Moeller]
11336
11337 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11338 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11339 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11340 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11341 example.
11342 [Steve Henson]
11343
11344 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11345 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11346 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11347 and any application specific purposes.
11348
11349 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11350 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11351 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11352 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11353 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11354 if the certificate is self signed.
11355 [Steve Henson]
11356
11357 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11358 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11359 [Steve Henson]
11360
11361 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11362 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11363 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11364 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11365 [Steve Henson]
11366
11367 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11368 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11369 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11370 Update documentation.
11371 [Steve Henson]
11372
11373 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11374 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11375 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11376 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11377 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11378 [Steve Henson]
11379
11380 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11381 for details.
11382 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <[email protected]>]
11383
11384 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11385 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11386 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11387 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11388 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11389 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11390 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11391 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11392 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11393 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11394
11395 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11396
11397 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11398 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11399 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11400 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11401 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11402
11403 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11404 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11405 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11406 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11407 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11408 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11409 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11410 request additional information:
11411 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11412 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11413
11414 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11415 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11416 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11417 options.
11418
11419 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11420 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11421
11422 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11423 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11424 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11425
11426 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11427 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11428
11429 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11430 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11431 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11432 algorithm.
11433 [Steve Henson]
11434
11435 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11436 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11437 [Frans Heymans <[email protected]>, modified by Steve Henson]
11438
11439 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11440 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11441 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11442 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11443 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11444 included in OpenSSL.
11445 [Steve Henson]
11446
11447 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11448 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11449 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11450 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11451 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11452 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11453 [Bodo Moeller]
11454
11455 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11456 PKCS12 structure.
11457 [Steve Henson]
11458
11459 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11460 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11461 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11462 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11463 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11464 structure.
11465 [Steve Henson]
11466
11467 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11468 need initialising.
11469 [Steve Henson]
11470
11471 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11472 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11473 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11474 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11475 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11476 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11477 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11478 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11479 be maintained manually.
11480
11481 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11482 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11483 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11484 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11485 work because people forget to call this function]
11486 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11487 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11488 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11489 [Steve Henson]
11490
11491 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11492 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11493 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11494 should be discouraged from doing it.
11495 [Ben Laurie]
11496
11497 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11498 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11499 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11500 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11501 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11502 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11503 [Steve Henson]
11504
11505 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11506 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11507 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11508
11509 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11510 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11511 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11512
11513 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11514 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11515 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11516 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11517 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11518 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11519
11520 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11521 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11522 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11523
11524 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11525 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11526 and vice versa.
11527
11528 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11529 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11530 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11531 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11532 [Steve Henson]
11533
11534 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11535 [Steve Henson]
11536
11537 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11538 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11539 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11540 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11541 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11542 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11543 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11544 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11545 keys so we should be OK.
11546
11547 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11548 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11549 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11550 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11551 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11552 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11553 stay in the name of compatibility.
11554
11555 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11556 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11557 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11558
11559 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11560 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11561 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11562 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11563 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11564 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11565 supplied key).
11566 [Steve Henson]
11567
11568 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11569 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11570 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11571 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11572 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11573 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11574 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11575 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11576 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11577 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11578 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11579 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11580 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11581 [Steve Henson]
11582
11583 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11584 [Steve Henson]
11585
11586 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11587 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11588 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11589 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11590 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11591 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11592 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11593 openssl verify ss.pem
11594 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11595 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11596 is OK.
11597 [Steve Henson]
11598
11599 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11600 (and add it to external session representation).
11601 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11602 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11603 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11604 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11605 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11606 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11607 security holes.
11608 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11609
11610 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11611 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11612 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11613 [Po-Cheng Chen <[email protected]>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11614
11615 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11616 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11617 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11618 [Steve Henson]
11619
11620 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11621 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11622 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11623 code.
11624 [Steve Henson]
11625
11626 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11627 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11628 [Geoff Thorpe <[email protected]>]
11629
11630 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11631 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11632 certificate auxiliary information.
11633 [Steve Henson]
11634
11635 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11636 the 'enc' command.
11637 [Steve Henson]
11638
11639 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11640 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11641 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11642 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11643 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11644 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11645 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11646 [Richard Levitte]
11647
11648 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11649 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11650 [Steve Henson]
11651
11652 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11653 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11654 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11655 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11656 [Steve Henson]
11657
11658 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11659 [Steve Henson]
11660
11661 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11662 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11663 [Steve Henson]
11664
11665 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11666 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11667 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11668 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11669 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11670 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11671 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11672 using the new 'x509' options.
11673
11674 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11675 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11676 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11677 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11678 for all purposes.
11679 [Steve Henson]
11680
11681 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11682 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11683 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11684 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11685 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11686 [Mark Cox]
11687
11688 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11689 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11690 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11691 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11692 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11693 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11694 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11695 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11696 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11697 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11698 [Steve Henson]
11699
11700 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11701 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11702 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11703 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11704 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11705 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11706 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11707 [Steve Henson]
11708
11709 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11710 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11711 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11712 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11713 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11714 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11715 openssl.cnf for more info.
11716 [Steve Henson]
11717
11718 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11719 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11720 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11721 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11722 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11723 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11724 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11725 md should be large enough anyway.
11726 [Bodo Moeller]
11727
11728 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11729 for handling the random seed file.
11730
11731 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11732 ca,
11733 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11734 s_client,
11735 s_server,
11736 x509 (when signing).
11737 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11738 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11739 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11740
11741 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11742 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11743 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11744 that support '-rand'.
11745 [Bodo Moeller]
11746
11747 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11748 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11749 [Bodo Moeller]
11750
11751 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11752 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11753 [Bill Perry]
11754
11755 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11756 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11757 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11758 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11759 is suitable.
11760 [Steve Henson]
11761
11762 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11763 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11764 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11765 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11766 [Steve Henson]
11767
11768 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11769 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11770 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11771 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11772 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11773 print out all the purposes.
11774 [Steve Henson]
11775
11776 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11777 functions.
11778 [Steve Henson]
11779
11780 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11781 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11782 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11783 single function call.
11784 [Steve Henson]
11785
11786 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11787 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11788 [Andy Polyakov]
11789
11790 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11791 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11792 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11793 [Steve Henson]
11794
11795 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11796 when producing the local key id.
11797 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
11798
11799 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11800 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11801 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11802 "server.pem".
11803 [Steve Henson]
11804
11805 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11806 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11807 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11808 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11809 [Steve Henson]
11810
11811 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11812 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11813 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11814 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <[email protected]>]
11815
11816 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11817 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11818 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11819 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
11820
11821 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11822 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11823 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11824 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11825 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11826 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11827 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11828 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11829 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11830 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11831 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11832 trivial: move one line.
11833 [Steve Henson, reported by [email protected] (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11834
11835 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11836 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11837 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11838 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11839 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11840 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11841 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11842 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11843 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11844 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11845 with an event loop for example.
11846 [Steve Henson]
11847
11848 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11849 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11850 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11851 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11852 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11853 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11854 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11855 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11856 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11857 [Steve Henson]
11858
11859 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11860 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11861 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11862 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11863 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11864 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11865 [Steve Henson]
11866
11867 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11868 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11869 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11870 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11871
11872 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11873 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11874 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11875 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11876 key generation.
11877 [Steve Henson]
11878
11879 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11880 (still largely untested)
11881 [Bodo Moeller]
11882
11883 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11884 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11885 [Steve Henson]
11886
11887 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11888 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11889 [Steve Henson]
11890
11891 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11892 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11893 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11894 [Bodo Moeller]
11895
11896 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11897 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11898 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11899 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11900 Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]> but extensively modified.
11901 [Steve Henson]
11902
11903 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11904 [Andy Polyakov]
11905
11906 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11907 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11908 <[email protected]>. The new option is called -extensions
11909 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11910 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11911 in ca.
11912 [Steve Henson]
11913
11914 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11915 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11916 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11917 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11918 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11919 [Steve Henson]
11920
11921 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11922 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11923 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11924 are otherwise ignored at present.
11925 [Steve Henson]
11926
11927 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11928 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11929 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11930 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11931 copied until the next read.
11932 [Steve Henson]
11933
11934 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11935 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11936 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11937 [Steve Henson]
11938
11939 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11940 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11941 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11942 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11943 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11944 associated functions.
11945 [Steve Henson]
11946
11947 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11948 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11949 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11950 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11951 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11952 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11953 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11954 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11955 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11956 memory BIOs.
11957 [Steve Henson]
11958
11959 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11960 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11961 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11962 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11963 [Bodo Moeller]
11964
11965 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11966 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11967 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11968 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11969 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11970 functionality.
11971 [Steve Henson]
11972
11973 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11974 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11975 under Win32.
11976 [Steve Henson]
11977
11978 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11979 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11980 extensions to be obtained and added.
11981 [Steve Henson]
11982
11983 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11984 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11985 [Bodo Moeller]
11986
11987 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11988
11989 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11990 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11991
11992 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11993 [Andrija Antonijevic <[email protected]>]
11994
11995 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11996 program.
11997 [Steve Henson]
11998
11999 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
12000 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
12001 DH parameters contain its length).
12002
12003 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
12004 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
12005 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
12006 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
12007 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
12008 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
12009 utter importance to use
12010 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12011 or
12012 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12013 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
12014 attacks may become possible!
12015 [Bodo Moeller]
12016
12017 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
12018 [Bodo Moeller]
12019
12020 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
12021 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
12022 [Steve Henson]
12023
12024 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
12025 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
12026 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
12027 or long name.
12028 [Steve Henson]
12029
12030 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
12031 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
12032 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
12033 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
12034 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
12035 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
12036 private key operations.
12037 [Steve Henson]
12038
12039 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
12040 [Andy Polyakov]
12041
12042 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
12043 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12044 to
12045 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12046 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12047 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12048 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12049 the password callback is called.
12050 [Damien Miller <[email protected]>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12051
12052 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12053
12054 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12055 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12056 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12057 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12058 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12059 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12060 this will work.
12061
12062 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12063 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12064 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12065 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12066 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12067 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12068 [Bodo Moeller]
12069
12070 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12071 [Andy Polyakov]
12072
12073 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12074 delete an unused file.
12075 [Ulf Möller]
12076
12077 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12078 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12079 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12080 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12081 [Steve Henson]
12082
12083 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12084 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12085 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12086 of an error.
12087 [Bodo Moeller]
12088
12089 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12090 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12091 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12092
12093 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12094 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12095 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12096 comparison" warnings.
12097 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12098 [Steve Henson]
12099
12100 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12101 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12102 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12103 [Steve Henson]
12104
12105 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12106 [Roman E. Pavlov <[email protected]>]
12107
12108 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12109 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12110
12111 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12112 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12113 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12114
12115 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12116 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12117 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12118 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12119 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12120 this bug.
12121 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <[email protected]>]
12122
12123 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12124 The interface is as follows:
12125 Applications can use
12126 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12127 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12128 "off" is now the default.
12129 The library internally uses
12130 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12131 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12132 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12133
12134 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12135 even the default) are now avoided.
12136
12137 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12138 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12139 than just having a counter.
12140
12141 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12142
12143 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12144 extensions.
12145 [Bodo Moeller]
12146
12147 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12148 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12149 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12150 Initial "mode" flags are:
12151
12152 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12153 a single record has been written.
12154 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12155 retries use the same buffer location.
12156 (But all of the contents must be
12157 copied!)
12158 [Bodo Moeller]
12159
12160 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12161 worked.
12162
12163 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12164 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <[email protected]>]
12165
12166 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12167 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12168 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12169 [Steve Henson]
12170
12171 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12172 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12173 test programs.
12174 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12175
12176 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12177 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12178 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12179 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12180 point to the end.
12181 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12182 <[email protected]>]
12183
12184 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12185 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12186 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12187 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12188 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12189 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12190 [Steve Henson]
12191
12192 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12193 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12194 necessary function names.
12195 [Steve Henson]
12196
12197 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12198 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12199 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12200 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12201 [Bodo Moeller]
12202
12203 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12204 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12205 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12206 [Steve Henson]
12207
12208 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12209 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12210 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12211 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12212 such programs?)
12213 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12214 need locks.
12215 [Bodo Moeller]
12216
12217 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12218 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12219 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12220 [Bodo Moeller]
12221
12222 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12223 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12224 appropriate.
12225 [Bodo Moeller]
12226
12227 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12228 for the encoded length.
12229 [Jeon KyoungHo <[email protected]>]
12230
12231 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12232 [Steve Henson]
12233
12234 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12235 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12236 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12237 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12238 [Steve Henson]
12239
12240 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12241 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12242 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12243
12244 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12245 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12246 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12247 unusual formatting.
12248 [Steve Henson]
12249
12250 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12251 to use the new extension code.
12252 [Steve Henson]
12253
12254 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12255 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12256 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12257 constant.
12258 [Steve Henson]
12259
12260 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12261 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12262 according to Mark Crispin <[email protected]>.
12263 [Bodo Moeller]
12264
12265#if 0
12266 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12267 [Ben Laurie]
12268#else
12269 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12270 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12271 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12272#endif
12273
12274 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12275 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12276 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12277 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12278 [Ben Laurie]
12279
12280 *) DES library cleanups.
12281 [Ulf Möller]
12282
12283 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12284 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12285 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12286 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12287 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12288 of v2.0.
12289 [Steve Henson]
12290
12291 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12292 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12293 [Bodo Moeller]
12294
12295 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12296 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12297 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12298 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12299 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12300 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12301 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12302 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12303 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12304 [Steve Henson]
12305
12306 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12307 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12308 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12309 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12310 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12311 value doesn't matter.
12312 [Steve Henson]
12313
12314 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12315 support mutable.
12316 [Ben Laurie]
12317
12318 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12319 [Ray Miller <[email protected]>]
12320 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12321 [Christian Forster <[email protected]>]
12322
12323 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12324 [Ulf Möller]
12325
12326 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12327 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12328 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
12329
12330 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12331 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>]
12332
12333 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12334 [Ben Laurie]
12335
12336 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12337 [Ben Laurie]
12338
12339 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12340 [Ben Laurie]
12341
12342 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12343 [Bodo Moeller]
12344
12345
12346 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12347
12348 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12349
12350 *) Updated some demos.
12351 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12352
12353 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12354 [Wu Zhigang]
12355
12356 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12357 [Steve Henson]
12358
12359 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12360 [Steve Henson]
12361
12362 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12363 instead of using a fixed path.
12364 [Bodo Moeller]
12365
12366 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12367 [Andy Polyakov]
12368
12369 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12370 [Richard Levitte]
12371
12372
12373 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12374
12375 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12376 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12377 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12378
12379 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12380 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12381 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12382 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12383 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12384 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12385 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12386 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12387 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12388 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12389 [Steve Henson]
12390
12391 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12392 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12393 [Steve Henson]
12394
12395 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12396 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12397 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12398 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12399 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12400
12401 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12402 [Bodo Moeller]
12403
12404 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12405 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12406 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12407 [Steve Henson]
12408
12409 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12410 [Ben Laurie]
12411
12412 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12413 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12414 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12415 key elements as negative integers.
12416 [Steve Henson]
12417
12418 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12419 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12420
12421 *) VMS support.
12422 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12423
12424 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12425 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12426 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12427 [Steve Henson]
12428
12429 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12430 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12431 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12432 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12433 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12434 [Bodo Moeller]
12435
12436 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12437 [Ulf Möller]
12438
12439 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12440 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12441 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12442 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12443
12444 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12445 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12446 [Sebastian Akerman <[email protected]>, modified by Steve]
12447
12448 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12449 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12450 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12451 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12452 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12453 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12454 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12455 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12456 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12457
12458 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12459 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12460 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12461 does not influence s as it used to.
12462
12463 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12464 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12465 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12466 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12467 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12468 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12469 [Bodo Moeller]
12470
12471 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12472 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12473 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12474 key type.
12475 [Steve Henson]
12476
12477 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12478 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12479 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12480 and 'x509').
12481 [Steve Henson]
12482
12483 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12484 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12485 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12486 extension option.
12487 [Steve Henson]
12488
12489 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12490 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12491 [Ben Laurie]
12492
12493 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12494 [Janez Jere <[email protected]>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12495
12496 *) Support Mingw32.
12497 [Ulf Möller]
12498
12499 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12500 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12501
12502 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12503 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12504
12505 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12506 [Ulf Möller]
12507
12508 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12509 [Anonymous]
12510
12511 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12512 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12513
12514 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12515 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12516 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12517 DER-encoded.)
12518 [Bodo Moeller]
12519
12520 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12521 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12522 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12523 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12524 now it really counts the depth.
12525 [Bodo Moeller]
12526
12527 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12528 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12529 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12530 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12531 didn't match the private key).
12532
12533 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12534 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12535 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12536 [Bodo Moeller]
12537
12538 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12539 [Ulf Möller]
12540
12541 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12542 David Harris.
12543 [Bodo Moeller]
12544
12545 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12546 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12547 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12548 [Bodo Moeller]
12549
12550 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12551 [Bodo Moeller]
12552
12553 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12554 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12555 such as /usr/local/bin.
12556 [Bodo Moeller]
12557
12558 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12559 [Niels Poppe <[email protected]>]
12560
12561 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12562 [Ulf Möller]
12563
12564 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12565 extension adding in x509 utility.
12566 [Steve Henson]
12567
12568 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12569 [Ulf Möller]
12570
12571 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12572 prototypes.
12573 [Steve Henson]
12574
12575 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12576 [Ulf Möller]
12577
12578 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12579 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12580 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12581 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12582 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12583 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12584 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code embedded
12585 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12586 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12587 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12588 [Steve Henson]
12589
12590 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12591 [Bodo Moeller]
12592
12593 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12594 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12595 [Bodo Moeller]
12596
12597 *) Fix some race conditions.
12598 [Bodo Moeller]
12599
12600 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12601 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12602 [Steve Henson]
12603
12604 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12605 [Ulf Möller]
12606
12607 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12608 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12609 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12610 [Merlin Hughes <[email protected]>]
12611
12612 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12613 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12614
12615 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12616 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12617 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
12618
12619 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12620 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12621
12622 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12623 [Ulf Möller]
12624
12625 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12626 [Martin Kraemer <[email protected]>, Ulf Möller]
12627
12628 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12629 [Ulf Möller]
12630
12631 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12632 [Andy Polyakov <[email protected]>]
12633
12634 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12635 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12636 [Steve Henson]
12637
12638 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12639 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12640 [Ben Laurie]
12641
12642 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12643 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12644 [Steve Henson]
12645
12646 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12647 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12648 [Steve Henson]
12649
12650 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12651 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12652 [Steve Henson]
12653
12654 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12655 support typesafe stack.
12656 [Steve Henson]
12657
12658 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12659 [Nils Frostberg <[email protected]>]
12660
12661 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12662 old X509V3 handling code.
12663 [Steve Henson]
12664
12665 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12666 [Ulf Möller]
12667
12668 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12669 [Bodo Moeller]
12670
12671 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12672 [Ben Laurie]
12673
12674 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12675 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12676
12677 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12678 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12679 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12680 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12681 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12682 [Ben Laurie]
12683
12684 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12685 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12686 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12687 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12688 [Massimiliano Pala <[email protected]>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12689
12690 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12691 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12692 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12693 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12694
12695 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12696 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12697 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12698 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12699
12700 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12701 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12702 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12703 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12704 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12705 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12706 [Bodo Moeller]
12707
12708 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12709 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12710 [Bodo Moeller]
12711
12712 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12713 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12714 [Ulf Möller]
12715
12716 *) Tweaks to Configure
12717 [Niels Poppe <[email protected]>]
12718
12719 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12720 yet...
12721 [Steve Henson]
12722
12723 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12724 [Ulf Möller]
12725
12726 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12727 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12728 [Ulf Möller]
12729
12730 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12731 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12732 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12733 [Bodo Moeller]
12734
12735 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12736 [Bodo Moeller]
12737
12738 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12739 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12740 [Steve Henson]
12741
12742 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12743 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12744 to library startup routines.
12745 [Steve Henson]
12746
12747 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12748 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12749 codes along the way.
12750 [Steve Henson]
12751
12752 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12753 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12754 objects to objects.h
12755 [Steve Henson]
12756
12757 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12758 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12759 [Steve Henson]
12760
12761 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12762 [Jeff Dubrule <[email protected]>]
12763
12764 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12765 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12766 [Hannes Reinecke <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
12767
12768 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12769 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12770 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12771
12772 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12773 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12774 [Soren S. Jorvang <[email protected]>]
12775
12776
12777 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12778
12779 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12780 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12781 [Ben Laurie]
12782
12783 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12784 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12785 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12786 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12787 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12788
12789 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12790 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12791 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12792 document.
12793 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12794
12795 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12796 Malloc, Free.
12797 [Lennart Bang <[email protected]>, with minor changes by Steve]
12798
12799 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12800 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
12801
12802 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12803 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12804 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12805 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12806
12807 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12808 [Ben Laurie]
12809
12810 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12811 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12812 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12813 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12814 [Steve Henson]
12815
12816 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12817 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12818 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12819 [Steve Henson]
12820
12821 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12822 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12823 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12824 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12825 installed as `perl').
12826 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12827
12828 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12829 [Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
12830
12831 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12832 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12833 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <[email protected]> for the
12834 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12835 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12836 [Steve Henson]
12837
12838 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12839 [Ben Laurie]
12840
12841 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12842 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12843 is horrible: I feel ill....
12844 [Steve Henson]
12845
12846 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12847 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12848 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12849 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12850 [Steve Henson]
12851
12852 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12853 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12854
12855 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12856 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12857 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12858 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12859
12860 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12861 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12862 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12863 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12864 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12865 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12866 openssl_bio.xs.
12867 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12868
12869 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12870 [Kenji Miyake <[email protected]>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12871
12872 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12873 [John Tobey <[email protected]>]
12874
12875 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12876 [Ben Laurie]
12877
12878 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12879 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12880 in CRLs.
12881 [Steve Henson]
12882
12883 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12884 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12885 Configure script every time: One now can use ``perl Configure
12886 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12887 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12888 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12889 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12890 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12891 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12892 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12893 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12894
12895 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12896 [Ben Laurie]
12897
12898 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12899 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12900 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12901 for linking it into DSOs.
12902 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12903
12904 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12905 Fixed.
12906 [Ben Laurie]
12907
12908 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12909 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under [email protected].
12910 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12911 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12912 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12913 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12914
12915 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12916 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12917 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12918 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12919 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12920 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12921 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12922
12923 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12924 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12925 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12926 encryption.
12927 [Ben Laurie]
12928
12929 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12930 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12931 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12932 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12933 [Steve Henson]
12934
12935 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12936 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12937 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12938 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12939 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12940 field as blank.
12941 [Steve Henson]
12942
12943 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12944 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12945 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12946 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12947 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12948
12949 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12950 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12951 [Lennart Bong <[email protected]>]
12952
12953 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12954 [Lennart Bong <[email protected]>]
12955
12956 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12957 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12958 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12959 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12960 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12961 [Steve Henson]
12962
12963 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12964 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12965 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12966 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12967 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12968 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12969 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12970 [Ben Laurie]
12971
12972 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12973 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12974 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12975 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12976 [Ben Laurie]
12977
12978 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12979 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12980
12981 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12982 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12983 [Steve Henson]
12984
12985 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12986 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12987 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12988 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12989 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12990 (e.g. s_server).
12991 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12992 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12993 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12994 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12995 no way to reconfigure them.
12996 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12997 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12998 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12999 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
13000 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
13001 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13002
13003 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
13004 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
13005 recognized by the users.
13006 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13007
13008 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
13009 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
13010 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
13011 already masked variable.
13012 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
13013
13014 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
13015 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
13016
13017 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
13018 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
13019 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
13020 [Richard Levitte <[email protected]>]
13021
13022 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
13023 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
13024 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13025
13026 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
13027 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
13028 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
13029 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
13030 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
13031 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
13032 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
13033 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
13034 now, too.
13035 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13036
13037 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
13038 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
13039 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13040
13041 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
13042 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
13043 config file.
13044 [Steve Henson]
13045
13046 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13047 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13048
13049 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13050 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13051 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13052 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13053 [Ben Laurie]
13054
13055 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13056 [Steve Henson]
13057
13058 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13059 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>]
13060
13061 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13062 [Ben Laurie]
13063
13064 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13065 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13066 [Steve Henson]
13067
13068 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13069 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13070 [Steve Henson]
13071
13072 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13073 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13074 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13075 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13076 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13077 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13078 [Ulf Moeller <[email protected]>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13079 Ben Laurie]
13080
13081 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13082 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13083
13084 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13085 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13086 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13087 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13088 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13089
13090 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13091 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13092 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13093 [Steve Henson]
13094
13095 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13096 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13097 an example.
13098 [Steve Henson]
13099
13100 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13101 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13102 [Lars Weber <[email protected]>]
13103
13104 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13105 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13106 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13107 build instructions.
13108 [Steve Henson]
13109
13110 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13111 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13112 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13113 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13114 [Steve Henson]
13115
13116 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13117 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13118 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13119 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13120 [Ben Laurie]
13121
13122 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13123 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13124 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13125 so it wasn't spotted.
13126 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <[email protected]>]
13127
13128 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13129 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13130 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13131 vectors if you have them.
13132 [Ben Laurie]
13133
13134 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13135 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13136 [Ben Laurie]
13137
13138 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13139 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13140 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13141 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13142 If you do a:
13143 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13144 it will update them.
13145 [Steve Henson]
13146
13147 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13148 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13149 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13150 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13151 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13152 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13153 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13154 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13155
13156 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13157 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13158 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13159 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13160 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13161 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13162 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13163 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13164 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13165 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13166
13167 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13168 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13169 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13170 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13171 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13172 [Steve Henson]
13173
13174 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13175 INTEGER code.
13176 [Steve Henson]
13177
13178 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13179 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13180
13181 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13182 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <[email protected]>]
13183
13184 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13185 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13186 [Ben Laurie]
13187
13188 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13189 [Alan Batie <[email protected]>]
13190
13191 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13192 [Rainer W. Gerling <[email protected]>]
13193
13194 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13195 [Steve Henson]
13196
13197 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13198 few typos.
13199 [Steve Henson]
13200
13201 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13202 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13203 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13204 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13205
13206 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13207 [Steve Henson]
13208
13209 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13210 [Steve Henson]
13211
13212 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13213 [Steve Henson]
13214
13215 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13216 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13217 [Steve Henson]
13218
13219 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13220 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13221 CA extensions.
13222 [Steve Henson]
13223
13224 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13225 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13226 [Steve Henson]
13227
13228 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13229 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13230 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13231 [Steve Henson]
13232
13233 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13234 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13235 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13236 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13237 properly to be processed.
13238 [Steve Henson]
13239
13240 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13241 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13242 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13243 [Ben Laurie]
13244
13245 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13246 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <[email protected]>]
13247
13248 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13249 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13250 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13251 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13252 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13253 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13254 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13255 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13256 or delete all the .err files.
13257 [Steve Henson]
13258
13259 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13260 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13261 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13262 to regenerate it if needed.
13263 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13264 Hagino <[email protected]>]
13265
13266 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13267 [Ulf Möller <[email protected]>]
13268
13269 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13270 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13271 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13272 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13273 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13274 [Steve Henson]
13275
13276 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13277 [Ulf Möller <[email protected]>]
13278
13279 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13280 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13281
13282 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13283 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13284 error, but didn't set one).
13285 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13286
13287 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13288 [Ben Laurie]
13289
13290 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13291 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13292 [Steve Henson]
13293
13294 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13295 [Neil Costigan <[email protected]>]
13296
13297 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13298 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13299 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13300 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13301 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13302 OID is not part of the table.
13303 [Steve Henson]
13304
13305 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13306 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13307 [Ben Laurie]
13308
13309 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13310 [Ben Laurie]
13311
13312 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13313 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13314 was "1234").
13315 [Steve Henson]
13316
13317 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13318 [Frans Heymans <[email protected]>]
13319
13320 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13321 NULL pointers.
13322 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13323
13324 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13325 [Bodo Moeller <[email protected]>]
13326
13327 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13328 [Bodo Moeller <[email protected]>]
13329
13330 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13331 [Anonymous <[email protected]>]
13332
13333 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13334 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13335 [Ben Laurie]
13336
13337 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13338 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13339 [Steve Henson]
13340
13341 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13342 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13343
13344 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13345 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13346
13347 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13348 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13349
13350 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13351 [Arne Ansper <[email protected]>]
13352
13353 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13354 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13355 unused in the certificate verification process.
13356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13357
13358 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13359 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13360 [Steve Henson]
13361
13362 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13363 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13364 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13365
13366 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13367 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13368 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13369 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13370 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13371
13372 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13373 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13374 [Steve Henson]
13375
13376 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13377 [Steve Henson]
13378
13379 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13380 [Paul Sutton]
13381
13382 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13383 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13384
13385 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13386 [Ben Laurie]
13387
13388 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13389 [Ben Laurie]
13390
13391 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13392 [Ben Laurie]
13393
13394 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13395 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13396 other error libraries.
13397 [Steve Henson]
13398
13399 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13400 [Steve Henson]
13401
13402 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13403 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13404 be read in.
13405 [Steve Henson]
13406
13407 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13408 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13409 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13410 the new set of documentation files.
13411 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13412
13413 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13414 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13415 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13416 number of arguments.
13417 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <[email protected]>]
13418
13419 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13420 [Ben Laurie]
13421
13422 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13423 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13424 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <[email protected]>]
13425
13426 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13427 [Ben Laurie]
13428
13429 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13430 nextstep
13431 ncr-scde
13432 unixware-2.0
13433 unixware-2.0-pentium
13434 sco5-cc.
13435 [Ben Laurie]
13436
13437 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13438 before they are needed.
13439 [Ben Laurie]
13440
13441 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13442 [Ben Laurie]
13443
13444
13445 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13446
13447 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13448 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13449 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13450
13451 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13452 [Paul Sutton]
13453
13454 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13455 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13456 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13457
13458 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13459 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13460 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13461
13462 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13463 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13464 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13465
13466 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13467 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <[email protected]>]
13468
13469 *) Updated the README file.
13470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13471
13472 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13473 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13474 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13475
13476 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13477 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13478 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13479
13480 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13481 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13482 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13483 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13484 o removed obsolete TODO file
13485 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13486 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13487
13488 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13489 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13490 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13491 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13492 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13493 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13494 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13495
13496 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13497 [Mark J. Cox]
13498
13499 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13500 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13501 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13502 summer 1998.

13516 [Eric A. Young]
13517
13518 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13519 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13520 available).
13521 [Eric A. Young]
13522
13523 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13524 binary structures

13580 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13581 [Eric A. Young]
13582
13583 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13584 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13585 [Eric A. Young]
