5 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
9 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
11 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
13 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
15 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
16 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
17 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
18 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
19 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
20 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
23 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
24 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
25 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
26 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
27 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
31 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
32 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
33 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
34 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
35 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
38 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
39 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
40 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
44 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
45 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
47 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
50 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
52 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
54 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
55 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
57 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
59 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
60 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
64 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
65 exiting on the first error in a request.
68 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
69 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
73 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
74 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
75 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
76 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
78 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
79 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
82 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
83 blocks during encryption.
86 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
87 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
88 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
89 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
93 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
94 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
95 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
96 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
97 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
101 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
103 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
104 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
105 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
106 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
109 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
110 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
111 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
112 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
113 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
115 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
116 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
117 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
118 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
119 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
120 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
121 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
122 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
123 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
126 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
127 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
128 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
129 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
132 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
133 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
136 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
138 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
139 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
140 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
141 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
142 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
144 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
145 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
146 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
148 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
149 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
150 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
151 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
152 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
154 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
155 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
156 used by default when no-err is given.
159 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
160 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
162 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
163 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
164 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
165 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
166 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
168 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
169 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
170 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
171 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
173 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
175 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
177 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
179 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
180 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
181 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
182 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
186 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
187 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
189 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
190 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
193 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
194 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
195 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
196 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
199 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
200 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
201 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
202 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
203 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
204 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
208 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
209 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
212 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
213 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
214 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
215 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
217 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
219 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
222 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
223 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
224 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
225 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
227 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
231 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
232 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
236 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
237 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
238 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
239 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
240 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
241 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
243 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
244 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
245 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
246 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
247 have to be made anyway).
250 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
251 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
252 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
255 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
256 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
257 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
260 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
261 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
262 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
264 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
265 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
266 edit numbers of the version.
267 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
269 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
270 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
271 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
273 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
276 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
277 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
280 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
283 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
286 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
289 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
292 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
296 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
297 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
300 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
301 representations in a platform independent manner.
304 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
305 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
308 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
312 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
315 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
319 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
320 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
323 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
327 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
330 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
333 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
336 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
339 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
343 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
346 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
349 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
350 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
354 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
355 the 0.9.6 release series:
357 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
358 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
362 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
365 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
366 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
368 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
369 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
371 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
372 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
373 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
374 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
376 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
377 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
378 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
380 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
381 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
382 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
383 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
385 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
386 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
387 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
390 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
391 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
392 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
393 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
394 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
395 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
396 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
397 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
400 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
401 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
402 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
405 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
406 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
407 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
408 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
409 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
411 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
412 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
414 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
415 error in AES-CFB decryption.
418 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
419 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
420 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
421 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
422 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
423 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
426 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
427 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
428 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
431 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
432 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
435 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
436 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
437 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
438 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
439 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
440 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
441 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
444 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
445 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
446 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
447 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
448 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
449 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
452 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
453 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
454 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
455 declaration has been changed from
458 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
459 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
460 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
461 has been changed into
462 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
464 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
465 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
466 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
468 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
469 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
471 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
472 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
473 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
474 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
475 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
476 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
477 always load it have also been added.
480 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
481 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
482 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
484 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
486 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
487 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
488 because it couldn't be used for anything.
490 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
491 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
492 command line option can be used to specify an
496 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
497 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
500 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
501 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
502 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
505 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
506 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
507 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
508 to work with the new engine framework.
509 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
511 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
512 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
513 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
514 to work with the new engine framework.
517 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
518 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
519 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
521 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
522 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
524 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
525 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
526 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
527 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
529 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
531 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
532 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
534 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
535 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
537 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
538 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
539 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
544 ERR_peek_last_error_line
545 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
549 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
550 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
551 still in the error queue.
552 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
554 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
556 default_algorithms = ALL
557 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
560 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
563 *) New experimental application configuration code.
566 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
567 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
568 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
569 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
571 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
572 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
574 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
575 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
577 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
578 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
581 *) New functions/macros
583 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
584 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
585 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
586 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
588 to request calling a callback function
590 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
591 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
593 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
594 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
595 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
596 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
597 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
598 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
599 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
600 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
601 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
602 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
604 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
605 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
608 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
609 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
610 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
611 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
612 the configuration scripts.
614 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
615 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
616 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
618 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
619 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
621 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
622 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
623 when reusing an existing buffer.
626 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
627 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
630 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
631 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
634 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
635 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
636 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
638 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
640 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
641 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
642 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
643 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
644 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
645 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
648 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
649 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
650 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
651 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
653 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
654 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
655 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
656 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
658 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
659 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
662 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
663 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
664 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
665 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
666 default), and then completely removed.
669 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
670 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
671 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
672 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
673 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
674 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
675 particular extension is supported.
678 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
679 to retain compatibility with existing code.
682 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
683 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
684 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
685 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
686 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
687 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
688 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
689 requires the destination to be valid.
691 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
692 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
695 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
696 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
697 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
700 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
701 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
703 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
704 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
705 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
706 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
707 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
708 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
709 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
710 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
711 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
712 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
713 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
714 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
715 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
716 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
717 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
718 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
719 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
720 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
721 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
725 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
728 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
729 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
730 become part of libeay.num as well.
733 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
734 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
735 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
736 false once a handshake has been completed.
737 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
738 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
739 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
740 client has followed the request.)
743 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
744 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
745 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
746 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
748 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
749 more bits available for options that should not be part of
750 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
753 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
756 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
757 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
758 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
761 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
762 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
765 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
766 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
767 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
768 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
771 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
772 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
773 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
774 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
775 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
776 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
779 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
780 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
781 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
782 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
783 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
784 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
785 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
786 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
789 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
790 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
793 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
796 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
797 md_data void pointer.
800 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
801 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
802 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
803 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
804 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
805 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
808 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
809 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
810 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
811 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
812 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
813 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
814 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
815 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
816 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
817 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
818 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
819 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
820 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
821 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
822 rather than letting it slide.
824 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
825 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
826 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
829 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
830 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
831 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
832 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
833 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
834 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
835 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
836 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
837 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
840 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
841 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
842 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
843 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
844 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
846 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
849 *) Add EVP test program.
852 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
855 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
856 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
857 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
858 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
859 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
862 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
863 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
864 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
865 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
866 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
867 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
868 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
870 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
871 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
872 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
877 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
878 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
879 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
880 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
881 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
885 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
886 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
887 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
888 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
893 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
894 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
896 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
899 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
900 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
901 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
902 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
903 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
904 functions prevents this.
907 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
910 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
914 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
915 revocation information is handled using the text based index
916 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
917 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
918 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
921 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
924 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
925 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
926 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
927 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
929 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
930 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
932 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
933 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
934 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
937 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
938 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
939 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
940 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
943 *) Speed up EVP routines.
946 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

961 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
962 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
964 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
965 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
966 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
967 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
968 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
969 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
972 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
973 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
976 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
977 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
978 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
979 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
981 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
982 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
983 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
984 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
985 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
986 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
990 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
991 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
992 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
993 and interrupts/cancellations.
996 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
997 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1000 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1001 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1002 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1004 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1005 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1009 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1010 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1011 than this minimum value is recommended.
1014 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1015 that are easily reachable.
1018 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1019 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1021 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1023 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1024 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1025 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1026 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1029 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1030 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1031 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1034 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1035 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1036 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1037 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1038 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1039 internally such as S/MIME.
1041 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1042 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1043 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1045 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1049 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1050 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1051 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1052 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1054 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1056 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1058 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1059 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1060 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1064 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1065 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1066 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1067 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1068 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1069 a window system and the like.
1072 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1073 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1076 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1077 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1078 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1079 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1080 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1081 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1082 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1083 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1084 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1088 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1089 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1093 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1094 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1095 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1096 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1097 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1098 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1099 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1100 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1103 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1104 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1105 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1106 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1107 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1108 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1109 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1110 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1111 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1112 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1113 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1114 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1115 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1116 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1117 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1118 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1119 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1122 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1123 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1124 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1125 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1126 internal engine_int.h header.
1129 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1130 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1131 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1132 modify their own ones).
1135 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1136 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1137 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1138 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1139 later on via ctrl() commands.
1140 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1141 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1142 structural references.
1143 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1144 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1145 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1146 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1147 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1148 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1149 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1150 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1151 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1152 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1153 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1154 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1157 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1158 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1159 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1160 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1161 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1162 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1163 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1164 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1167 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1168 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1171 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1172 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1175 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1176 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1177 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1178 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1179 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1180 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1181 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1184 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1185 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1186 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1187 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1188 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1190 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1191 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1195 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1197 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1198 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1199 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1201 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1202 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.

1208 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1209 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1211 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1212 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1214 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1216 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1217 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1218 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1221 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1222 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1225 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1226 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1227 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1228 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1229 is 40 of more characters long.
1232 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1233 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1237 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1238 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1241 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1242 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1246 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1248 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1249 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1252 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1254 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1255 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1256 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1258 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1259 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1261 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1264 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1268 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1269 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1270 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1271 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1273 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1275 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1276 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1278 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1279 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1280 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1281 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1282 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1283 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1285 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1286 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1288 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1289 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1291 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1292 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1294 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1295 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1296 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1297 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1299 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1300 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1302 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1303 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1305 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1306 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1307 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1308 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1309 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1312 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1313 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1314 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1315 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1318 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1319 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1320 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1324 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1325 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1326 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1327 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1328 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1329 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1330 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1331 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1335 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1336 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1339 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1340 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1341 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1342 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1345 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1346 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1347 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1348 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1349 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1350 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1351 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1352 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1353 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1354 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1357 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1358 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1359 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1360 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1361 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1362 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1363 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1364 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1366 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1367 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1368 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1369 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1372 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1373 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1374 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1375 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1377 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1378 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1379 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1380 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1381 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1385 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1386 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1387 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1388 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1392 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1393 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1394 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1397 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1398 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1399 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1400 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1401 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1404 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1407 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1408 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1409 option to ocsp utility.
1412 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1413 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1414 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1415 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1416 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1417 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1418 the request is nonce-less.
1421 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1422 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1423 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1426 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1427 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1428 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1431 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1432 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1433 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1434 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1435 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1438 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1439 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1443 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1444 additional certificates supplied.
1447 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1448 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1452 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1453 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1456 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1457 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1458 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1459 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1460 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1461 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1462 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1463 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1464 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1466 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1467 request to response.
1470 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1471 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1472 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1473 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1474 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1475 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1476 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1477 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1478 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1479 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1480 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1483 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1484 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1485 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1486 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1489 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1490 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1492 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1493 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1494 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1497 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1498 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1499 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1500 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1501 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1503 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1504 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1505 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1508 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1509 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1510 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1511 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1512 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1513 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1514 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1515 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1517 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1518 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1519 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1520 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1521 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1522 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1525 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1526 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1527 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1528 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1529 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1530 printout format cleaned up.
1533 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1534 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1535 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1536 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1537 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1538 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1539 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1540 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1543 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1544 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1545 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1546 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1547 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1548 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1549 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1550 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1553 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1554 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1555 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1556 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1558 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1560 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1561 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1562 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1563 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1566 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1567 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1568 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1569 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1571 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1573 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1574 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1575 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1576 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1578 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1579 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1581 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1582 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1583 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1586 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1587 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1588 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1591 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1592 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1593 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1594 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1595 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1596 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1597 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1598 functions are provided:
1600 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1601 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1602 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1603 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1605 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1606 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1607 extended allocation function is enabled.
1608 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1609 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1610 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1612 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1613 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1614 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1615 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1616 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1619 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1620 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1621 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1623 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1624 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1625 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1628 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1629 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1630 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1631 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1632 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1633 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1634 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1635 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1636 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1639 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1640 provide utility functions which an application needing
1641 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1642 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1643 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1645 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1646 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1647 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1648 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1649 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1650 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1651 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1652 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1653 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1655 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1656 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1657 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1658 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1661 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1662 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1663 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1664 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1665 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1666 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1667 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1668 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1669 will be added elsewhere.
1672 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1673 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1674 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1675 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1678 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1679 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1680 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1681 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1682 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1683 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1684 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1685 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1686 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1687 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1688 to produce the required SET OF.
1691 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1692 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1693 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1696 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1697 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1698 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1699 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1700 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1701 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1704 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1705 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1706 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1709 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1710 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1711 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1714 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1715 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1716 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1717 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1718 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1721 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1722 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1725 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1726 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1727 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1728 certifcates and CRLs.
1731 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1732 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1733 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1736 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1737 entries for variables.
1740 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1741 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1742 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1743 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1746 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1747 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1748 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1749 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1750 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1751 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1754 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1755 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1757 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1758 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1759 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1762 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1766 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1767 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1768 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1769 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1770 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1771 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1774 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1777 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1778 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1779 for now but they will eventually go away.
1782 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1783 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1784 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1785 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1786 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1787 has also been converted to the new form.
1790 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1791 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1792 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1793 for negative moduli.
1796 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1797 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1800 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1804 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1805 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1806 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1807 type-specific callbacks.
1810 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1812 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1813 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1815 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1816 in sections depending on the subject.
1819 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1823 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1824 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1825 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1826 be handled deterministically).
1827 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1829 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1830 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1831 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1834 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1837 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1838 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1839 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1840 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1841 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1844 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1845 sign of the number in question.
1847 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1849 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1850 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1851 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1852 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1853 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1856 *) New function BN_swap.
1859 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1860 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1861 results on negative inputs.
1864 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1865 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1866 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1869 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1870 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1871 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1872 and add new functions:
1881 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1885 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1887 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1888 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1890 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1891 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1892 be reduced modulo m.
1893 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1896 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
1897 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
1898 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
1900 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1901 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1902 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1903 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1904 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1905 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1910 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1911 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1912 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1913 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1914 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1916 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1917 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1918 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1922 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1925 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1926 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1929 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1930 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1931 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1932 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1936 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1939 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1942 *) Add the following functions:
1944 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1946 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1948 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1950 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1951 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1952 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1953 libraries unless it's really needed.
1955 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1956 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1957 declarations (they differed!).
1960 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1963 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1966 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1969 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1970 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1973 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1974 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1975 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1977 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1978 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1981 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1984 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1987 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1990 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1991 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1992 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1994 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1995 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1996 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1997 different shared library filenames on each system.
2000 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2003 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2004 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2005 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2007 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2010 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2011 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2012 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2013 binary backward compatibility.
2014 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2015 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2016 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2020 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2021 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2022 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2023 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2027 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2030 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2031 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2032 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2033 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2037 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2040 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2042 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2044 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2045 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2047 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2048 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2052 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2053 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2057 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2058 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2059 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2060 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2062 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2063 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2066 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2068 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2069 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2070 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2071 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2074 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2075 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2076 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2077 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2078 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2080 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2081 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2082 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2083 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2084 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2085 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2086 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2087 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2088 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2091 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2093 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2094 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2095 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2096 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2097 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2099 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2100 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2101 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2103 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2105 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2106 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2107 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2108 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2109 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2110 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2113 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2114 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2115 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2116 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2117 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2120 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2121 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2122 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2124 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2125 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2126 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2130 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2131 being properly terminated.
2134 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2135 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2136 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2137 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2139 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2140 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2141 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2142 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2143 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2144 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2145 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2147 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2149 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2150 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2153 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2154 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2155 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2156 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2157 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2158 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2159 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2160 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2162 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2163 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2164 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2165 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2166 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2168 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2169 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2172 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2174 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2175 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2176 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2178 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2180 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2181 and get fix the header length calculation.
2182 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2183 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2186 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2187 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2188 assertions could call abort()).
2189 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2191 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2193 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2194 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2195 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2197 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2199 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2200 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2201 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2204 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2208 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2209 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2210 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2212 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2213 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2214 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2215 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2216 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2220 *) Changes in security patch:
2222 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2223 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2224 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2227 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2228 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2229 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2230 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2231 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2233 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2235 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2237 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2238 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2239 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2241 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2242 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2245 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2246 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2247 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2249 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2251 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2252 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2253 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2255 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2256 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2258 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2259 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2260 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2261 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2262 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2263 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2266 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2267 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2268 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2269 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2272 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2275 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2276 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2277 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2278 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2279 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2280 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2282 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2283 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2284 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2285 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2286 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2289 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2290 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2291 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2292 BN_generate_prime().)
2294 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2295 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2296 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2300 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2301 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2304 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2305 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2306 when using non-blocking I/O.
2307 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2309 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2310 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2312 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2313 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2316 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2317 configuration for the versions before that.
2318 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2320 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2321 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2322 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2323 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2326 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2327 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2328 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2331 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2335 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2336 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2337 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2339 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2340 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2342 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2343 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2344 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2345 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2346 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2347 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2348 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2351 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2352 using a local variable.
2353 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2355 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2356 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2357 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2359 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2362 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2363 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2365 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2366 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2367 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2369 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2371 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2372 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2373 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2374 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2377 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2381 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2382 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2383 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2384 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2385 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2387 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2388 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2389 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2391 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2392 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2393 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2395 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2396 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2397 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2398 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2400 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2401 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2402 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2404 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2406 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2407 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2409 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2411 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2412 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2413 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2414 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2416 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2417 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2418 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2419 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2421 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2422 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2424 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2425 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2426 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2429 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2430 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2431 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2433 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2435 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2436 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2437 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2438 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2439 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2440 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2441 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2444 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2445 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2446 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2447 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2449 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2450 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2451 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2452 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2453 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2454 the client will at least see that alert.
2457 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2461 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2462 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2463 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2465 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2466 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2467 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2468 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2471 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2472 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2473 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2475 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2476 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2477 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2478 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2479 may leak via logfiles.)
2481 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2482 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2483 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2484 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2488 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2489 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2492 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2493 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2494 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2495 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2496 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2499 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2500 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2502 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2503 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2504 followed by modular reduction.
2505 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2507 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2508 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2511 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2512 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2513 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2514 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2517 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2520 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2521 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2524 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2525 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2526 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2527 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2528 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2529 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2531 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2533 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2534 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2535 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2536 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2537 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2539 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2542 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2543 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2544 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2545 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2546 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2547 to allow the necessary settings.
2550 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2551 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2552 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2553 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2556 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2557 dh->length and always used
2559 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2561 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2562 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2563 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2564 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2565 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2570 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2572 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2578 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2579 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2580 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2581 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2583 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2584 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2585 always reject numbers >= n.
2588 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2589 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2590 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2591 variable) is not atomic.
2594 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2595 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2596 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2597 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2599 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2600 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2602 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2604 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2606 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2609 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2611 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2612 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2613 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2614 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2615 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2616 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2617 to traverse all of 'state'.
2619 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2620 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2621 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2623 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2624 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2626 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2627 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2628 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2629 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2630 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2631 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2632 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2633 further strengthens the PRNG.
2636 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2639 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2640 an error message in this case.
2643 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2646 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2647 positive and less than q.
2650 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2651 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2653 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2655 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2656 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2660 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2662 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2663 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2664 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2665 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2666 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2667 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2668 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2671 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2672 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2673 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2674 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2676 Both problems are now fixed.
2679 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2680 (previously it was 1024).
2683 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2684 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2687 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2690 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2691 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2692 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2695 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2696 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2697 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2698 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2699 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2700 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2701 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2702 environment variables.
2704 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2705 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2706 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2709 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2710 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2711 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2712 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2713 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2714 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2717 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2721 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2723 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2724 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2726 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2727 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2728 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2729 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2733 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2734 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2735 amount of data available.
2736 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2737 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2739 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2740 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2741 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2742 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2745 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2746 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2750 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2751 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2752 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2753 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2756 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2759 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2762 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2763 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2765 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2767 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2768 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2769 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2770 (but broken) behaviour.
2773 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2775 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2777 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2778 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2781 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2785 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2786 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2788 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2791 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2792 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2793 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2795 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2796 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2797 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2800 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2801 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2804 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2805 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2807 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2809 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2811 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2812 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2813 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2814 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2817 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2820 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2821 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2822 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2824 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2827 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2829 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2830 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2831 but the code is actually correct.
2834 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2835 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2836 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2837 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2838 and leaves the highest bit random.
2839 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2841 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2842 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2843 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2844 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2845 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2846 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2847 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2850 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2853 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2854 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2857 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2858 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2859 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2860 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2864 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2865 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2866 and break the signature.
2868 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2870 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2874 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2875 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2876 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2877 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2878 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2881 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2882 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2884 *) ./config script fixes.
2885 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2887 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2890 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2891 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2892 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2893 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2894 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2896 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2897 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2900 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2901 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2904 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2905 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2906 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2907 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2909 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2910 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2912 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2913 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2914 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2915 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2916 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2918 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2921 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2924 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2927 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2930 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2931 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2934 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2935 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2936 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2937 result of the server certificate verification.)
2940 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2941 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2942 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2946 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2947 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2948 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2949 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2950 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2951 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2952 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2953 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2956 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2957 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2958 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2959 happening the other way round.
2962 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2963 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2966 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2967 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2968 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2969 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2972 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2973 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2975 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2977 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2978 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2979 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2982 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2984 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2986 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2990 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2992 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2993 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2994 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2995 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2996 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2998 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2999 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3003 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3006 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3008 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3009 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3010 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3011 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3012 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3013 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3014 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3015 by the Finished messages.
3018 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3019 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3021 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3022 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3023 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3024 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3025 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3029 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3030 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3031 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3032 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3033 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3034 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3035 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3036 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3037 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3041 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3042 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3043 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3044 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3046 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3047 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3048 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3049 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3050 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3053 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3054 been tested well enough.
3057 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3058 it can return incorrect results.
3059 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3060 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3063 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3064 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3065 include zero length content when signing messages.
3068 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3069 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3072 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3075 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3079 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3080 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3081 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3082 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3083 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3084 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3087 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3088 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3090 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3091 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3093 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3094 random number < q in the DSA library.
3097 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3098 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3099 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3100 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3101 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3102 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3103 just makes things more complicated.)
3106 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3110 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3111 work better on such systems.
3112 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3114 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3115 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3116 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3119 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3120 if there was more than one signature.
3121 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3123 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3124 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3125 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3126 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3129 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3130 rather than always using the current time.
3133 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3134 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3135 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3136 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3137 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3138 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3140 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3141 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3143 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3145 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3146 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3147 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3148 the same hash value.
3150 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3151 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3152 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3153 with X509_STORE internally.
3155 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3156 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3158 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3159 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3160 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3161 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3162 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3163 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3164 entirely (maybe later...).
3166 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3168 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3169 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3170 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3171 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3172 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3173 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3174 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3175 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3177 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3178 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3180 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3181 to customise the verify behaviour.
3184 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3185 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3188 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3189 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3190 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3191 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3192 request is improperly encoded.
3195 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3196 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3199 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3200 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3202 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3203 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3207 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3208 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3209 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3212 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3213 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3214 BIO/fp routines also added.
3217 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3218 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3220 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3221 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3222 demos/state_machine.
3225 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3226 generation and verification.
3229 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3230 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3231 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3232 encode and decode it manually.
3235 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3237 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3239 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3240 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3241 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3242 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3244 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3245 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3246 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3247 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3248 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3251 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3254 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3255 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3256 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3258 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3259 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3260 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3261 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3262 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3263 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3264 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3265 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3267 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3268 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3270 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3272 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3273 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3274 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3278 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3279 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3280 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3281 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3285 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3287 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3290 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3291 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3292 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3293 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3294 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3295 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3296 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3297 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3298 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3299 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3300 short or long names are found.
3303 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3304 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3306 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3307 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3308 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3309 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3311 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3312 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3313 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3314 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3317 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3318 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3319 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3322 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3323 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3324 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3325 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3326 to allow the various flags to be set.
3329 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3330 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3331 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3332 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3333 dates to be checked.
3336 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3337 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3338 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3341 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3342 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3343 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3346 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3347 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3350 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3351 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3352 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3353 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3354 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3355 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3358 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3359 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3363 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3367 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3368 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3369 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3370 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3371 form signing output easier to verify.
3374 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3377 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3378 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3379 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3380 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3381 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3382 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3383 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3384 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3385 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3386 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3389 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3391 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3392 the syntax given in objects.README.
3393 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3395 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3398 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3399 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3400 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3401 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3402 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3403 consistent name changes.
3406 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3409 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3410 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3411 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3412 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3415 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3416 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3417 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3421 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3422 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3423 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3424 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3427 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3428 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3429 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3430 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3431 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3432 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3433 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3434 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3435 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3436 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3437 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3440 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3441 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3442 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3443 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3444 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3445 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3446 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3447 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3448 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3449 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3452 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3453 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3454 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3455 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3457 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3458 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3459 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3460 omit any duplicate addresses.
3463 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3464 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3467 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3468 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3469 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3470 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3471 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3474 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3476 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3477 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3478 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3479 Free => OPENSSL_free
3482 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3483 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3486 *) CygWin32 support.
3487 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3489 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3490 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3491 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3492 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3493 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3497 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3498 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3499 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3500 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3501 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3502 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3503 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3506 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3507 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3508 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3509 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3510 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3511 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3512 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3513 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3514 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3515 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3516 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3519 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3520 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3521 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3522 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3523 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3525 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3526 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3527 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3528 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3529 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3531 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3534 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3535 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3536 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3537 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3539 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3541 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3544 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3545 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3546 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3549 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3550 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3551 any installed hardware versions can.
3554 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3555 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3556 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3560 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3561 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3562 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3563 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3564 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3566 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3567 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3570 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3571 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3574 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3575 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3576 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3580 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3583 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3584 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3585 but no ssl client purpose.
3586 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3588 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3589 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3590 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3591 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3592 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3593 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3594 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3595 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3596 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3597 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3598 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3601 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3602 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3603 be obtained from the error queue.
3606 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3607 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3608 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3609 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3612 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3615 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3616 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3617 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3618 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3619 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3622 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3623 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3624 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3625 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3626 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3629 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3630 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3631 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3633 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3635 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3636 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3637 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3638 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3639 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3640 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3641 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3642 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3643 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3644 or "the configuration storage API"...
3646 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3648 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3649 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3651 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3653 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3655 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3656 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3657 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3658 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3659 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3660 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3661 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3663 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3664 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3667 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3668 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3669 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3670 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3673 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3674 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3675 them in a portable way.
3676 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3678 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3680 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3682 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3683 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3685 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3686 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3687 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3690 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3691 was larger than the MD block size.
3692 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3694 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3695 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3696 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3697 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3701 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3702 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3703 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3705 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3707 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3709 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3710 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3711 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3712 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3713 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3714 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3716 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3717 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3719 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3720 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3723 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3726 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3727 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3729 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3730 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3731 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3732 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3735 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3736 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3737 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3738 does not suppress any output.
3741 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3742 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3743 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3744 with all the associated security issues.
3746 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3747 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3748 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3749 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3750 use the value in the default purpose.
3753 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3754 and fix a memory leak.
3757 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3758 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3759 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3760 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3763 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3764 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3765 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3766 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3769 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3770 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3771 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3774 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3775 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3778 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3779 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3783 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3784 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3787 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3788 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3789 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3792 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3793 number generation fails.
3796 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3799 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3800 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3802 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3805 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3806 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3808 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3809 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3811 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3813 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3814 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3817 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3818 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3820 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3821 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3824 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3825 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3826 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3827 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3828 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3829 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3831 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3832 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3833 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3837 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3838 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3839 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3840 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3841 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3842 counter, some don't.)
3843 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3844 counters or duplicate objects.
3847 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3848 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3851 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3852 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3853 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3855 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3856 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3857 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3861 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3862 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3865 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3866 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3867 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3871 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3872 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3873 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3876 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3877 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3878 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3879 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3880 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3881 should work without changes.
3884 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3885 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3886 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3887 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3888 must be defined. E.g.,
3889 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3890 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3891 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3892 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3894 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3898 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3899 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3900 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3903 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3904 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3905 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3906 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3909 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3910 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3911 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3912 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3913 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3914 is prompted for as usual.
3917 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3918 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3919 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3920 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3922 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3923 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3924 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3925 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3928 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3931 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3935 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3938 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3941 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3945 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3948 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3951 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3952 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3955 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3956 options to produce them.
3959 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3960 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3963 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3967 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3968 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3969 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3970 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3971 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3972 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3973 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3976 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3979 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3980 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3981 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3984 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3985 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3987 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3988 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3991 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3992 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3993 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3997 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3998 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4000 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4001 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4002 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4003 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4004 generation becomes much faster.
4006 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4007 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4008 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4009 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4010 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4011 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4012 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4013 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4014 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4015 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4018 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4019 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4020 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4021 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4022 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4023 trial division stage.
4026 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4030 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4033 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4036 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4037 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4038 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4042 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4043 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4044 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4047 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4048 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4049 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4050 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4052 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4053 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4056 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4059 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4060 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4061 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4062 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4065 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4066 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4067 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4070 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4071 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4072 (instead of parameters) in future.
4075 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4076 when a new cipher list is set.
4079 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4080 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4083 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4084 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4085 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4087 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4088 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4089 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4090 an error is flagged.
4092 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4093 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4094 the readability was also increased :-)
4095 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4097 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4098 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4099 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4100 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4104 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4105 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4108 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4109 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4110 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4111 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4114 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4115 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4116 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4117 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4118 because they handle more complex structures.)
4121 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4122 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4123 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4124 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4126 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4127 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4128 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4129 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4130 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4131 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4132 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4135 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4136 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4137 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4138 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4139 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4142 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4145 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4146 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4147 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4148 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4149 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4152 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4156 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4157 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4158 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4159 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4162 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4165 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4166 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4167 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4168 international characters are used.
4170 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4171 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4172 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4176 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4177 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4178 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4181 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4182 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4183 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4184 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4185 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4186 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4188 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4189 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4190 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4191 be handled by the string table functions.
4193 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4194 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4195 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4196 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4197 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4201 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4202 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4203 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4204 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4205 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4207 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4208 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4209 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4210 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4213 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4214 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4215 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4216 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4217 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4221 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4222 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4223 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4224 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4225 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4226 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4227 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4228 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4230 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4231 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4232 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4235 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4236 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4237 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4238 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4239 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4240 support to pkcs8 application.
4243 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4244 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4245 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4246 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4247 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4248 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4251 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4252 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4253 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4254 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4255 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4259 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4260 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4261 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4262 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4266 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4267 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4268 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4269 and any application specific purposes.
4271 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4272 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4273 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4274 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4275 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4276 if the certificate is self signed.
4279 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4280 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4283 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4284 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4285 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4286 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4289 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4290 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4291 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4292 Update documentation.
4295 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4296 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4297 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4298 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4299 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4302 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4304 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4306 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4307 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4308 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4309 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4310 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4311 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4312 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4313 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4314 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4315 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4317 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4319 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4320 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4321 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4322 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4323 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4325 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4326 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4327 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4328 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4329 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4330 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4331 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4332 request additional information:
4333 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4334 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4336 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4337 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4338 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4341 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4342 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4345 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4348 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4349 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4351 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4352 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4353 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4357 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4358 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4359 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4361 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4362 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4363 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4364 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4365 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4366 included in OpenSSL.
4369 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4370 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4371 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4372 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4373 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4374 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4377 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4381 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4382 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4383 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4384 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4385 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4389 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4393 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4394 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4395 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4396 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4397 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4398 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4399 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4400 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4401 be maintained manually.
4403 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4404 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4405 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4406 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4407 work because people forget to call this function]
4408 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4409 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4410 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4413 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4414 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4415 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4416 should be discouraged from doing it.
4419 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4420 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4421 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4422 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4423 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4424 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4427 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4428 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4429 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4431 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4432 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4433 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4435 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4436 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4437 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4438 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4439 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4440 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4442 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4443 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4444 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4446 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4447 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4450 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4451 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4452 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4453 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4456 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4459 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4460 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4461 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4462 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4463 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4464 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4465 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4466 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4467 keys so we should be OK.
4469 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4470 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4471 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4472 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4473 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4474 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4475 stay in the name of compatibility.
4477 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4478 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4479 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4481 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4482 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4483 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4484 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4485 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4486 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4490 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4491 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4492 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4493 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4494 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4495 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4496 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4497 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4498 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4499 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4500 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4501 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4502 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4505 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4508 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4509 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4510 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4511 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4512 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4513 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4514 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4515 openssl verify ss.pem
4516 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4517 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4521 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4522 (and add it to external session representation).
4523 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4524 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4525 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4526 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4527 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4528 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4530 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4532 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4533 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4534 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4535 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4537 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4538 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4539 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4542 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4543 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4544 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4548 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4549 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4550 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4552 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4553 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4554 certificate auxiliary information.
4557 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4561 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4562 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4563 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4564 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4565 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4566 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4567 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4570 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4571 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4574 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4575 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4576 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4577 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4580 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4583 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4584 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4587 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4588 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4589 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4590 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4591 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4592 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4593 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4594 using the new 'x509' options.
4596 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4597 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4598 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4599 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4603 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4604 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4605 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4606 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4607 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4610 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4611 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4612 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4613 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4614 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4615 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4616 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4617 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4618 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4619 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4622 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4623 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4624 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4625 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4626 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4627 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4628 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4631 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4632 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4633 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4634 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4635 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4636 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4637 openssl.cnf for more info.
4640 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4641 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4642 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4643 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4644 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4645 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4646 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4647 md should be large enough anyway.
4650 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4651 for handling the random seed file.
4653 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4655 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4658 x509 (when signing).
4659 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4660 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4661 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4663 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4664 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4665 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4666 that support '-rand'.
4669 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4670 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4673 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4674 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4677 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4678 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4679 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4680 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4684 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4685 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4686 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4687 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4690 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4691 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4692 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4693 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4694 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4695 print out all the purposes.
4698 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4702 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4703 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4704 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4705 single function call.
4708 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4709 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4712 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4713 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4714 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4717 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4718 when producing the local key id.
4719 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4721 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4722 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4723 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4727 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4728 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4729 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4730 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4733 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4734 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4735 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4736 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4738 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4739 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4740 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4741 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4743 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4744 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4745 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4746 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4747 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4748 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4749 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4750 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4751 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4752 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4753 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4754 trivial: move one line.
4755 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4757 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4758 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4759 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4760 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4761 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4762 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4763 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4764 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4765 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4766 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4767 with an event loop for example.
4770 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4771 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4772 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4773 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4774 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4775 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4776 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4777 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4778 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4781 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4782 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4783 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4784 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4785 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4786 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4789 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4790 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4791 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4792 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4794 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4795 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4796 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4797 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4801 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4802 (still largely untested)
4805 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4806 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4809 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4810 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4813 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4814 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4815 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4818 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4819 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4820 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4821 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4822 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4825 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4828 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4829 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4830 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4831 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4832 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4836 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4837 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4840 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4843 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4844 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4845 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4846 are otherwise ignored at present.
4849 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4850 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4851 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4852 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4853 copied until the next read.
4856 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4857 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4858 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4861 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4862 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4863 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4864 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4865 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4866 associated functions.
4869 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4870 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4871 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4872 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4873 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4874 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4875 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4876 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4877 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4881 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4882 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4883 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4884 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4887 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4888 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4889 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4890 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4891 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4895 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4896 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4900 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4901 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4902 extensions to be obtained and added.
4905 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4906 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4909 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4911 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4912 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4914 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4915 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4917 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4921 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4922 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4923 DH parameters contain its length).
4925 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4926 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4927 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4928 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4929 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4930 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4931 utter importance to use
4932 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4934 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4935 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4936 attacks may become possible!
4939 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4942 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4943 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4946 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4947 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4948 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4952 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4953 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4954 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4955 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4956 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4957 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4958 private key operations.
4961 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4964 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4965 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4967 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4968 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4969 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4970 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4971 the password callback is called.
4972 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4974 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4976 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4977 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4978 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4979 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4980 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4981 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4984 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4985 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4986 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4987 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4988 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4989 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4992 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4995 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4996 delete an unused file.
4999 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5000 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5001 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5002 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5005 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5006 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5007 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5011 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5012 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5013 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5015 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5016 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5017 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5018 comparison" warnings.
5019 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5022 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5023 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5024 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5027 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5028 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5030 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5031 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5033 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5034 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5035 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5037 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5038 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5039 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5040 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5041 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5043 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5045 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5046 The interface is as follows:
5047 Applications can use
5048 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5049 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5050 "off" is now the default.
5051 The library internally uses
5052 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5053 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5054 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5056 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5057 even the default) are now avoided.
5059 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5060 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5061 than just having a counter.
5063 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5065 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5069 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5070 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5071 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5072 Initial "mode" flags are:
5074 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5075 a single record has been written.
5076 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5077 retries use the same buffer location.
5078 (But all of the contents must be
5082 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5085 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5086 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5088 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5089 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5090 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5093 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5094 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5096 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5098 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5099 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5100 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5101 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5103 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5104 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5106 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5107 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5108 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5109 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5110 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5111 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5114 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5115 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5116 necessary function names.
5119 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5120 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5121 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5122 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5125 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5126 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5127 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5130 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5131 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5132 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5133 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5135 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5139 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5140 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5141 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5144 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5145 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5149 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5150 for the encoded length.
5151 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5153 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5156 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5157 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5158 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5159 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5162 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5163 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5164 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5166 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5167 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5168 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5172 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5173 to use the new extension code.
5176 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5177 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5178 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5182 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5183 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5184 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5188 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5191 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5192 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5193 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5196 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5197 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5198 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5199 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5202 *) DES library cleanups.
5205 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5206 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5207 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5208 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5209 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5213 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5214 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5217 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5218 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5219 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5220 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5221 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5222 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5223 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5224 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5225 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5228 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5229 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5230 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5231 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5232 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5233 value doesn't matter.
5236 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5240 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5241 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5242 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5243 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5245 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5248 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5249 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5250 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5252 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5253 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5255 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5258 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5261 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5264 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5268 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5270 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5272 *) Updated some demos.
5273 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5275 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5278 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5281 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5284 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5285 instead of using a fixed path.
5288 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5291 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5295 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5297 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5298 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5299 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5301 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5302 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5303 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5304 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5305 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5306 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5307 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5308 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5309 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5310 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5313 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5314 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5317 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5318 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5319 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5320 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5321 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5323 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5326 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5327 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5328 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5331 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5334 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5335 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5336 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5337 key elements as negative integers.
5340 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5341 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5344 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5346 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5347 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5348 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5351 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5352 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5353 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5354 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5355 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5358 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5361 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5362 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5363 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5366 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5367 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5368 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5370 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5371 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5372 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5373 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5374 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5375 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5376 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5377 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5378 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5380 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5381 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5382 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5383 does not influence s as it used to.
5385 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5386 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5387 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5388 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5389 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5390 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5393 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5394 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5395 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5399 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5400 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5401 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5405 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5406 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5407 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5411 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5412 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5415 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5416 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5421 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5422 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5424 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5425 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5427 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5430 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5433 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5434 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5436 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5437 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5438 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5442 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5443 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5444 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5445 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5446 now it really counts the depth.
5449 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5450 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5451 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5452 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5453 didn't match the private key).
5455 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5456 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5457 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5460 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5463 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5467 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5468 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5469 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5472 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5475 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5476 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5477 such as /usr/local/bin.
5480 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5481 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5483 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5486 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5487 extension adding in x509 utility.
5490 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5493 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5497 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5500 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5501 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5502 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5503 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5504 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5505 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5506 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5507 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5508 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5509 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5512 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5515 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5516 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5519 *) Fix some race conditions.
5522 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5523 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5526 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5529 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5530 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5531 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5532 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5534 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5535 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5537 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5538 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5539 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5541 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5542 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5544 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5547 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5548 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5550 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5553 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5554 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5556 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5557 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5560 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5561 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5564 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5565 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5568 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5569 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5572 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5573 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5576 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5577 support typesafe stack.
5580 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5581 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5583 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5584 old X509V3 handling code.
5587 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5590 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5593 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5596 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5597 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5599 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5600 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5601 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5602 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5603 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5606 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5607 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5608 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5609 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5610 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5612 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5613 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5614 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5615 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5617 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5618 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5619 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5620 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5622 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5623 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5624 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5625 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5626 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5627 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5630 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5631 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5634 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5635 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5638 *) Tweaks to Configure
5639 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5641 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5645 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5648 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5649 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5652 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5653 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5654 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5657 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5660 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5661 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5664 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5665 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5666 to library startup routines.
5669 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5670 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5671 codes along the way.
5674 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5675 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5676 objects to objects.h
5679 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5680 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5683 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5684 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5686 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5687 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5688 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5690 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5691 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5692 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5694 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5695 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5696 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5699 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5701 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5702 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5705 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5706 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5707 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5708 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5709 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5711 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5712 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5713 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5715 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5717 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5719 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5721 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5722 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5724 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5725 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5726 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5727 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5729 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5732 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5733 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5734 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5735 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5738 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5739 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5740 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5743 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5744 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5745 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5746 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5747 installed as `perl').
5748 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5750 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5751 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5753 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5754 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5755 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5756 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5757 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5760 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5763 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5764 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5765 is horrible: I feel ill....
5768 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5769 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5770 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5771 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5774 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5775 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5777 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5778 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5779 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5780 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5782 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5783 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5784 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5785 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5786 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5787 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5789 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5791 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5792 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5794 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5795 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5797 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5800 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5801 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5805 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5806 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5807 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5808 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5809 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5810 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5811 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5812 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5813 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5814 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5815 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5817 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5820 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5821 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5822 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5823 for linking it into DSOs.
5824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5826 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5830 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5831 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5832 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5833 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5834 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5837 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5838 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5839 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5840 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5841 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5842 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5843 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5845 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5846 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5847 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5851 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5852 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5853 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5854 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5857 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5858 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5859 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5860 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5861 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5865 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5866 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5867 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5868 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5871 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5872 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5873 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5875 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5876 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5878 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5879 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5880 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5881 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5882 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5885 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5886 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5887 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5888 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5889 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5890 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5891 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5894 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5896 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5897 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5900 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5901 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5903 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5904 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5907 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5908 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5909 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5910 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5911 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5913 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5914 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5915 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5916 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5917 no way to reconfigure them.
5918 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5919 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5920 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5921 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5922 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5923 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5925 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5926 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5927 recognized by the users.
5928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5930 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5931 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5932 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5933 already masked variable.
5934 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5936 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5937 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5939 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5940 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5941 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5942 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5944 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5945 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5948 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5949 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5950 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5951 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5952 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5953 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5954 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5955 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5957 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5959 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5960 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5961 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5963 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5964 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5968 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5969 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5971 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5972 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5973 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5974 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5977 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5980 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5981 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5983 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5986 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5987 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5990 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5991 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5994 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5995 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5996 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5997 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5998 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5999 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6000 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6003 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6004 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6006 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6007 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6008 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6009 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6010 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6012 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6013 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6014 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6017 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6018 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6022 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6023 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6024 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6026 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6027 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6028 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6032 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6033 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6034 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6035 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6038 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6039 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6040 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6041 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6044 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6045 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6046 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6047 so it wasn't spotted.
6048 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6050 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6051 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6052 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6053 vectors if you have them.
6056 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6057 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6060 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6061 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6062 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6063 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6065 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6066 it will update them.
6069 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6070 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6071 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6072 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6073 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6074 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6075 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6076 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6078 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6079 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6080 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6081 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6082 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6083 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6084 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6085 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6086 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6087 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6089 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6090 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6091 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6092 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6093 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6096 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6100 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6101 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6103 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6104 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6106 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6107 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6110 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6111 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6113 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6114 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6116 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6119 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6123 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6124 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6125 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6126 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6128 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6131 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6134 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6137 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6138 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6141 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6142 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6146 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6147 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6150 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6151 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6152 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6155 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6156 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6157 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6158 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6159 properly to be processed.
6162 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6163 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6164 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6167 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6168 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6170 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6171 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6172 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6173 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6174 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6175 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6176 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6177 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6178 or delete all the .err files.
6181 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6182 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6183 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6184 to regenerate it if needed.
6185 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6186 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6188 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6189 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6191 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6192 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6193 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6194 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6195 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6198 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6199 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6201 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6202 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6204 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6205 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6206 error, but didn't set one).
6207 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6209 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6212 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6213 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6216 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6217 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6219 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6220 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6221 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6222 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6223 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6224 OID is not part of the table.
6227 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6228 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6231 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6234 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6235 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6239 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6240 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6242 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6244 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6246 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6247 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6249 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6250 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6252 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6253 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6255 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6256 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6259 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6260 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6263 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6264 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6266 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6267 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6269 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6270 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6272 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6273 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6275 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6276 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6277 unused in the certificate verification process.
6278 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6280 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6281 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6284 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6285 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6286 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6288 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6289 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6290 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6291 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6292 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6294 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6295 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6298 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6301 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6304 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6305 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6307 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6310 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6313 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6316 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6317 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6318 other error libraries.
6321 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6324 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6325 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6329 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6330 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6331 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6332 the new set of documenation files.
6333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6335 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6336 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6337 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6338 number of arguments.
6339 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6341 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6344 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6345 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6346 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6348 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6351 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6355 unixware-2.0-pentium
6359 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6360 before they are needed.
6363 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6367 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6369 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6370 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6371 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6373 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6376 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6377 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6378 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6380 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6381 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6382 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6384 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6385 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6386 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6388 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6389 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6391 *) Updated the README file.
6392 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6394 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6395 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6398 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6399 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6400 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6402 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6403 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6404 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6405 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6406 o removed obsolete TODO file
6407 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6408 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6410 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6411 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6412 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6413 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
6414 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
6415 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6416 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6418 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6421 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6422 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6423 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6425 [The OpenSSL Project]
6428 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6430 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6433 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6436 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6437 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6440 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6441 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6445 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6447 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6449 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6452 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6455 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6458 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6461 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6464 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6467 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6470 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6473 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6476 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6479 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6482 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6485 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6488 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6491 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6494 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6497 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
