Changelog
When a release is created, that branch is forked off, and its
changelog is also forked. For example, none of the changes after
0.9.8n appear in the other logs, because 1.0.0 was created after that
release and before 0.9.8o. Any changes that are merged across
branches, however, should have an entry in each branch's changelog.
This is the changelog for the master branch, the one that is
currently in active development. The plain-text / markdown version of
this document is available here: changelog.md
For other branches, the changelogs are distributed with the source,
but are also available here:
* 1.1.1
Table of contents
* OpenSSL 3.0
* OpenSSL 1.1.1
* OpenSSL 1.1.0
* OpenSSL 1.0.2
* OpenSSL 1.0.1
* OpenSSL 1.0.0
* OpenSSL 0.9.x
OpenSSL 3.0
Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
* The EVP_PKEY_public_check() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() functions
now work for more key types including RSA, DSA, ED25519, X25519,
ED448 and X448. Previously (in 1.1.1) they would return -2. For
key types that do not have parameters then EVP_PKEY_param_check()
will always return 1.
* The output from numerous "printing" functions such as
X509_signature_print(), X509_print_ex(), X509_CRL_print_ex(), and
other similar functions has been amended such that there may be
cosmetic differences between the output observed in 1.1.1 and
3.0. This also applies to the "-text" output from the x509 and
crl applications.
David von Oheimb
* Windows thread synchronization uses read/write primitives
(SRWLock) when supported by the OS, otherwise CriticalSection
continues to be used.
Vincent Drake
* Add filter BIO BIO_f_readbuffer() that allows BIO_tell() and
BIO_seek() to work on read only BIO source/sinks that do not
support these functions. This allows piping or redirection of a
file BIO using stdin to be buffered into memory. This is used
internally in OSSL_DECODER_from_bio().
Shane Lontis
* OSSL_STORE_INFO_get_type() may now return an additional value. In
1.1.1 this function would return one of the values
OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME, OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY,
OSSL_STORE_INFO_PARAMS, OSSL_STORE_INFO_CERT or
OSSL_STORE_INFO_CRL. Decoded public keys would previously have
been reported as type OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY in 1.1.1. In 3.0
decoded public keys are now reported as having the new type
OSSL_STORE_INFO_PUBKEY. Applications using this function should
be amended to handle the changed return value.
Richard Levitte
* Improved adherence to Enhanced Security Services (ESS, RFC 2634
and RFC 5035) for the TSP and CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures
(CAdES) implementations. As required by RFC 5035 check both
ESSCertID and ESSCertIDv2 if both present. Correct the semantics
of checking the validation chain in case ESSCertID{,v2} contains
more than one certificate identifier: This means that all
certificates referenced there MUST be part of the validation
chain.
David von Oheimb
* The implementation of the EVP ciphers CAST5-ECB, CAST5-CBC,
CAST5-OFB, CAST5-CFB, BF-ECB, BF-CBC, BF-OFB, BF-CFB, IDEA-ECB,
IDEC-CBC, IDEA-OFB, IDEA-CFB, SEED-ECB, SEED-CBC, SEED-OFB,
SEED-CFB, RC2-ECB, RC2-CBC, RC2-40-CBC, RC2-64-CBC, RC2-OFB,
RC2-CFB, RC4, RC4-40, RC4-HMAC-MD5, RC5-ECB, RC5-CBC, RC5-OFB,
RC5-CFB, DESX-CBC, DES-ECB, DES-CBC, DES-OFB, DES-CFB, DES-CFB1
and DES-CFB8 have been moved to the legacy provider. Applications
using the EVP APIs to access these ciphers should instead use
more modern ciphers. If that is not possible then these
applications should ensure that the legacy provider has been
loaded. This can be achieved either programmatically or via
configuration. See the provider(7) man page for further details.
Matt Caswell
* The implementation of the EVP digests MD2, MD4, MDC2, WHIRLPOOL
and RIPEMD-160 have been moved to the legacy provider.
Applications using the EVP APIs to access these digests should
instead use more modern digests. If that is not possible then
these applications should ensure that the legacy provider has
been loaded. This can be achieved either programmatically or via
configuration. See the provider(7) man page for further details.
Matt Caswell
* The deprecated function EVP_PKEY_get0() now returns NULL being
called for a provided key.
Dmitry Belyavskiy
* The deprecated functions EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA
(), EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(),
EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and
EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash() as well as the similarly named "get1"
functions behave slightly differently in OpenSSL 3.0. Previously
they returned a pointer to the low-level key used internally by
libcrypto. From OpenSSL 3.0 this key may now be held in a
provider. Calling these functions will only return a handle on
the internal key where the EVP_PKEY was constructed using this
key in the first place, for example using a function or macro
such as EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(), etc. Where
the EVP_PKEY holds a provider managed key, then these functions
now return a cached copy of the key. Changes to the internal
provider key that take place after the first time the cached key
is accessed will not be reflected back in the cached copy.
Similarly any changes made to the cached copy by application code
will not be reflected back in the internal provider key.
For the above reasons the keys returned from these functions
should typically be treated as read-only. To emphasise this the
value returned from EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(),
EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() and EVP_PKEY_get0_DH() has been made
const. This may break some existing code. Applications broken by
this change should be modified. The preferred solution is to
refactor the code to avoid the use of these deprecated functions.
Failing this the code should be modified to use a const pointer
instead. The EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(),
EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY() and EVP_PKEY_get1_DH() functions continue
to return a non-const pointer to enable them to be "freed".
However they should also be treated as read-only.
Matt Caswell
* A number of functions handling low level keys or engines were
deprecated including EVP_PKEY_set1_engine(), EVP_PKEY_get0_engine
(), EVP_PKEY_assign(), EVP_PKEY_get0(), EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(),
EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash().
Applications using engines should instead use providers.
Applications getting or setting low level keys in an EVP_PKEY
should instead use the OSSL_ENCODER or OSSL_DECODER APIs, or
alternatively use EVP_PKEY_fromdata() or EVP_PKEY_get_params().
Matt Caswell
* Deprecated obsolete EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_dh_kdf_ukm() and
EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_ecdh_kdf_ukm() functions. They are not needed
and require returning octet ptr parameters from providers that
would like to support them which complicates provider
implementations.
Tomas Mraz
* The RAND_METHOD APIs have been deprecated. The functions
deprecated are: RAND_OpenSSL(), RAND_get_rand_method(),
RAND_set_rand_engine() and RAND_set_rand_method(). Provider based
random number generators should be used instead via EVP_RAND(3).
Paul Dale
* The SRP APIs have been deprecated. The old APIs do not work via
providers, and there is no EVP interface to them. Unfortunately
there is no replacement for these APIs at this time.
Matt Caswell
* Add a compile time option to prevent the caching of provider
fetched algorithms. This is enabled by including the
no-cached-fetch option at configuration time.
Paul Dale
* The default algorithms for pkcs12 creation with the PKCS12_create
() function were changed to more modern PBKDF2 and AES based
algorithms. The default MAC iteration count was changed to
PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER to make it equal with the password-based
encryption iteration count. The default digest algorithm for the
MAC computation was changed to SHA-256. The pkcs12 application
now supports -legacy option that restores the previous default
algorithms to support interoperability with legacy systems.
Tomas Mraz and Sahana Prasad
* The openssl speed command does not use low-level API calls
anymore. This implies some of the performance numbers might not
be fully comparable with the previous releases due to higher
overhead. This applies particularly to measuring performance on
smaller data chunks.
Tomas Mraz
* Parallel dual-prime 1024-bit modular exponentiation for
AVX512_IFMA capable processors.
Ilya Albrekht, Sergey Kirillov, Andrey Matyukov (Intel Corp)
* Combining the Configure options no-ec and no-dh no longer
disables TLSv1.3. Typically if OpenSSL has no EC or DH algorithms
then it cannot support connections with TLSv1.3. However OpenSSL
now supports "pluggable" groups through providers. Therefore
third party providers may supply group implementations even where
there are no built-in ones. Attempting to create TLS connections
in such a build without also disabling TLSv1.3 at run time or
using third party provider groups may result in handshake
failures. TLSv1.3 can be disabled at compile time using the
"no-tls1_3" Configure option.
Matt Caswell
* The undocumented function X509_certificate_type() has been
deprecated; applications can use X509_get0_pubkey() and
X509_get0_signature() to get the same information.
Rich Salz
* Deprecated the obsolete BN_pseudo_rand() and BN_pseudo_rand_range
() functions. They are identical to BN_rand() and BN_rand_range()
respectively.
Tomas Mraz
* Removed RSA padding mode for SSLv23 (which was only used for
SSLv2). This includes the functions RSA_padding_check_SSLv23()
and RSA_padding_add_SSLv23() and the -ssl option in the
deprecated rsautl command.
Rich Salz
* Deprecated the obsolete X9.31 RSA key generation related
functions BN_X931_generate_Xpq(), BN_X931_derive_prime_ex(), and
BN_X931_generate_prime_ex().
Tomas Mraz
* The default key generation method for the regular 2-prime RSA
keys was changed to the FIPS 186-4 B.3.6 method (Generation of
Probable Primes with Conditions Based on Auxiliary Probable
Primes). This method is slower than the original method.
Shane Lontis
* Deprecated the BN_is_prime_ex() and BN_is_prime_fasttest_ex()
functions. They are replaced with the BN_check_prime() function
that avoids possible misuse and always uses at least 64 rounds of
the Miller-Rabin primality test. At least 64 rounds of the
Miller-Rabin test are now also used for all prime generation,
including RSA key generation. This increases key generation time,
especially for larger keys.
Kurt Roeckx
* Deprecated EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn() and EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn()
as they are not useful with non-deprecated functions.
Rich Salz
* Deprecated the type OCSP_REQ_CTX and the functions
OCSP_REQ_CTX_new(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_free(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_http(),
OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_nbio
(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_nbio_d2i(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_get0_mem_bio() and
OCSP_set_max_response_length(). These were used to collect all
necessary data to form a HTTP request, and to perform the HTTP
transfer with that request. With OpenSSL 3.0, the type is
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX, and the deprecated functions are replaced with
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_free(),
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_request_line(),
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d(),
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_nbio(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_sendreq_d2i(),
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_get0_mem_bio() and
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_max_response_length().
Rich Salz and Richard Levitte
* Deprecated OCSP_parse_url(), which is replaced with
OSSL_HTTP_parse_url.
David von Oheimb
* Validation of SM2 keys has been separated from the validation of
regular EC keys, allowing to improve the SM2 validation process
to reject loaded private keys that are not conforming to the SM2
ISO standard. In particular, a private scalar k outside the range
1 <= k < n-1 is now correctly rejected.
Nicola Tuveri
* Behavior of the pkey app is changed, when using the -check or
-pubcheck switches: a validation failure triggers an early exit,
returning a failure exit status to the parent process.
Nicola Tuveri
* Changed behavior of SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() and
SSL_set_ciphersuites() to ignore unknown ciphers.
Otto Hollmann
* The -cipher-commands and -digest-commands options of the command
line utility list have been deprecated. Instead use the
-cipher-algorithms and -digest-algorithms options.
Dmitry Belyavskiy
* All of the low level EC_KEY functions have been deprecated
including:
EC_KEY_OpenSSL, EC_KEY_get_default_method,
EC_KEY_set_default_method, EC_KEY_get_method, EC_KEY_set_method,
EC_KEY_new_method EC_KEY_METHOD_new, EC_KEY_METHOD_free,
EC_KEY_METHOD_set_init, EC_KEY_METHOD_set_keygen,
EC_KEY_METHOD_set_compute_key, EC_KEY_METHOD_set_sign,
EC_KEY_METHOD_set_verify, EC_KEY_METHOD_get_init,
EC_KEY_METHOD_get_keygen, EC_KEY_METHOD_get_compute_key,
EC_KEY_METHOD_get_sign, EC_KEY_METHOD_get_verify, EC_KEY_new_ex,
EC_KEY_new, EC_KEY_get_flags, EC_KEY_set_flags,
EC_KEY_clear_flags, EC_KEY_decoded_from_explicit_params,
EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name_ex, EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name,
EC_KEY_free, EC_KEY_copy, EC_KEY_dup, EC_KEY_up_ref,
EC_KEY_get0_engine, EC_KEY_get0_group, EC_KEY_set_group,
EC_KEY_get0_private_key, EC_KEY_set_private_key,
EC_KEY_get0_public_key, EC_KEY_set_public_key,
EC_KEY_get_enc_flags, EC_KEY_set_enc_flags, EC_KEY_get_conv_form,
EC_KEY_set_conv_form, EC_KEY_set_ex_data, EC_KEY_get_ex_data,
EC_KEY_set_asn1_flag, EC_KEY_generate_key, EC_KEY_check_key,
EC_KEY_can_sign, EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates,
EC_KEY_key2buf, EC_KEY_oct2key, EC_KEY_oct2priv, EC_KEY_priv2oct
and EC_KEY_priv2buf. Applications that need to implement an
EC_KEY_METHOD need to consider implementation of the
functionality in a special provider. For replacement of the
functions manipulating the EC_KEY objects see the EVP_PKEY-EC(7)
manual page.
Additionally functions that read and write EC_KEY objects such as
o2i_ECPublicKey, i2o_ECPublicKey, ECParameters_print_fp,
EC_KEY_print_fp, d2i_ECPKParameters, d2i_ECParameters,
d2i_ECPrivateKey, d2i_ECPrivateKey_bio, d2i_ECPrivateKey_fp,
d2i_EC_PUBKEY, d2i_EC_PUBKEY_bio, d2i_EC_PUBKEY_fp,
i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters, i2d_ECPrivateKey,
i2d_ECPrivateKey_bio, i2d_ECPrivateKey_fp, i2d_EC_PUBKEY,
i2d_EC_PUBKEY_bio and i2d_EC_PUBKEY_fp have also been deprecated.
Applications should instead use the OSSL_DECODER and OSSL_ENCODER
APIs to read and write EC files.
Finally functions that assign or obtain EC_KEY objects from an
EVP_PKEY such as EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY, EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY,
EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY and EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY are also
deprecated. Applications should instead either read or write an
EVP_PKEY directly using the OSSL_DECODER and OSSL_ENCODER APIs.
Or load an EVP_PKEY directly from EC data using EVP_PKEY_fromdata
().
Shane Lontis, Paul Dale, Richard Levitte, and Tomas Mraz
* Deprecated all the libcrypto and libssl error string loading
functions: ERR_load_ASN1_strings(), ERR_load_ASYNC_strings(),
ERR_load_BIO_strings(), ERR_load_BN_strings(),
ERR_load_BUF_strings(), ERR_load_CMS_strings(),
ERR_load_COMP_strings(), ERR_load_CONF_strings(),
ERR_load_CRYPTO_strings(), ERR_load_CT_strings(),
ERR_load_DH_strings(), ERR_load_DSA_strings(),
ERR_load_EC_strings(), ERR_load_ENGINE_strings(),
ERR_load_ERR_strings(), ERR_load_EVP_strings(),
ERR_load_KDF_strings(), ERR_load_OBJ_strings(),
ERR_load_OCSP_strings(), ERR_load_PEM_strings(),
ERR_load_PKCS12_strings(), ERR_load_PKCS7_strings(),
ERR_load_RAND_strings(), ERR_load_RSA_strings(),
ERR_load_OSSL_STORE_strings(), ERR_load_TS_strings(),
ERR_load_UI_strings(), ERR_load_X509_strings(),
ERR_load_X509V3_strings().
Calling these functions is not necessary since OpenSSL 1.1.0, as
OpenSSL now loads error strings automatically.
Richard Levitte
* The functions SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback and
SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback, as well as the macros SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh
() and SSL_set_tmp_dh() have been deprecated. These are used to
set the Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters that are to be used by
servers requiring ephemeral DH keys. Instead applications should
consider using the built-in DH parameters that are available by
calling SSL_CTX_set_dh_auto() or SSL_set_dh_auto(). If custom
parameters are necessary then applications can use the
alternative functions SSL_CTX_set0_tmp_dh_pkey() and
SSL_set0_tmp_dh_pkey(). There is no direct replacement for the
"callback" functions. The callback was originally useful in order
to have different parameters for export and non-export
ciphersuites. Export ciphersuites are no longer supported by
OpenSSL. Use of the callback functions should be replaced by one
of the other methods described above.
Matt Caswell
* The -crypt option to the passwd command line tool has been
removed.
Paul Dale
* The -C option to the x509, dhparam, dsaparam, and ecparam
commands were removed.
Rich Salz
* Add support for AES Key Wrap inverse ciphers to the EVP layer.
The algorithms are: "AES-128-WRAP-INV", "AES-192-WRAP-INV",
"AES-256-WRAP-INV", "AES-128-WRAP-PAD-INV",
"AES-192-WRAP-PAD-INV" and "AES-256-WRAP-PAD-INV". The inverse
ciphers use AES decryption for wrapping, and AES encryption for
unwrapping.
Shane Lontis
* Deprecated EVP_PKEY_set1_tls_encodedpoint() and
EVP_PKEY_get1_tls_encodedpoint(). These functions were previously
used by libssl to set or get an encoded public key in/from an
EVP_PKEY object. With OpenSSL 3.0 these are replaced by the more
generic functions EVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key() and
EVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key(). The old versions have been
converted to deprecated macros that just call the new functions.
Matt Caswell
* The security callback, which can be customised by application
code, supports the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. This is
defined to take an EVP_PKEY in the "other" parameter. In most
places this is what is passed. All these places occur server
side. However there was one client side call of this security
operation and it passed a DH object instead. This is incorrect
according to the definition of SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH, and is
inconsistent with all of the other locations. Therefore this
client side call has been changed to pass an EVP_PKEY instead.
Matt Caswell
* Add PKCS7_get_octet_string() and PKCS7_type_is_other() to the
public interface. Their functionality remains unchanged.
Jordan Montgomery
* Added new option for 'openssl list', '-providers', which will
display the list of loaded providers, their names, version and
status. It optionally displays their gettable parameters.
Paul Dale
* Deprecated EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(). This function was
previously needed as a workaround to recognise SM2 keys. With
OpenSSL 3.0, this key type is internally recognised so the
workaround is no longer needed.
Functionality is still retained as it is, but will only work with
EVP_PKEYs with a legacy internal key.
Richard Levitte
* Deprecated EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp() and introduced
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_rsa_keygen_pubexp(), which is now preferred.
Jeremy Walch
* Changed all "STACK" functions to be macros instead of inline
functions. Macro parameters are still checked for type safety at
compile time via helper inline functions.
Matt Caswell
* Remove the RAND_DRBG API
The RAND_DRBG API did not fit well into the new provider concept
as implemented by EVP_RAND and EVP_RAND_CTX. The main reason is
that the RAND_DRBG API is a mixture of 'front end' and 'back end'
API calls and some of its API calls are rather low-level. This
holds in particular for the callback mechanism
(RAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()).
Adding a compatibility layer to continue supporting the RAND_DRBG
API as a legacy API for a regular deprecation period turned out
to come at the price of complicating the new provider API
unnecessarily. Since the RAND_DRBG API exists only since version
1.1.1, it was decided by the OMC to drop it entirely.
Paul Dale and Matthias St. Pierre
* Allow SSL_set1_host() and SSL_add1_host() to take IP literal
addresses as well as actual hostnames.
David Woodhouse
* The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now
silently ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring
DTLS-based contexts, and conversely, silently ignore DTLS
protocol version bounds when configuring TLS-based contexts. The
commands can be repeated to set bounds of both types. The same
applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and "max_protocol"
command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS and
DTLS.
SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version
(e.g. TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds.
Previously attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions
would result in an error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX
instances are subject to limits in configuration files in
command-line options.
Viktor Dukhovni
* Deprecated the ENGINE API. Engines should be replaced with
providers going forward.
Paul Dale
* Reworked the recorded ERR codes to make better space for system
errors. To distinguish them, the macro ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR()
indicates if the given code is a system error (true) or an
OpenSSL error (false).
Richard Levitte
* Reworked the test perl framework to better allow parallel
testing.
Nicola Tuveri and David von Oheimb
* Added ciphertext stealing algorithms AES-128-CBC-CTS,
AES-192-CBC-CTS and AES-256-CBC-CTS to the providers. CS1, CS2
and CS3 variants are supported.
Shane Lontis
* 'Configure' has been changed to figure out the configuration
target if none is given on the command line. Consequently, the
'config' script is now only a mere wrapper. All documentation is
changed to only mention 'Configure'.
Rich Salz and Richard Levitte
* Added a library context OSSL_LIB_CTX that applications as well as
other libraries can use to form a separate context within which
libcrypto operations are performed.
There are two ways this can be used:
+ Directly, by passing a library context to functions that take
such an argument, such as EVP_CIPHER_fetch and similar
algorithm fetching functions.
+ Indirectly, by creating a new library context and then
assigning it as the new default, with
OSSL_LIB_CTX_set0_default.
All public OpenSSL functions that take an OSSL_LIB_CTX pointer,
apart from the functions directly related to OSSL_LIB_CTX, accept
NULL to indicate that the default library context should be used.
Library code that changes the default library context using
OSSL_LIB_CTX_set0_default should take care to restore it with a
second call before returning to the caller.
(Note: the library context was initially called OPENSSL_CTX and
renamed to OSSL_LIB_CTX in version 3.0.0 alpha7.)
Richard Levitte
* Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is
dropped on renegotiation.
Tomas Mraz
* Dropped interactive mode from the openssl program. From now on,
running it without arguments is equivalent to openssl help.
Richard Levitte
* Renamed EVP_PKEY_cmp() to EVP_PKEY_eq() and
EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() to EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq(). While the
old function names have been retained for backward compatibility
they should not be used in new developments because their return
values are confusing: Unlike other _cmp() functions they do not
return 0 in case their arguments are equal.
David von Oheimb
* Deprecated EC_METHOD_get_field_type(). Applications should switch
to EC_GROUP_get_field_type().
Billy Bob Brumley
* Deprecated EC_GFp_simple_method(), EC_GFp_mont_method(),
EC_GF2m_simple_method(), EC_GFp_nist_method(),
EC_GFp_nistp224_method() EC_GFp_nistp256_method(), and
EC_GFp_nistp521_method(). Applications should rely on the library
automatically assigning a suitable EC_METHOD internally upon
EC_GROUP construction.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Deprecated EC_GROUP_new(), EC_GROUP_method_of(), and
EC_POINT_method_of(). EC_METHOD is now an internal-only concept
and a suitable EC_METHOD is assigned internally without
application intervention. Users of EC_GROUP_new() should switch
to a different suitable constructor.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Add CAdES-BES signature verification support, mostly derived from
ESSCertIDv2 TS (RFC 5816) contribution by Marek Klein.
Filipe Raimundo da Silva
* Add CAdES-BES signature scheme and attributes support (RFC 5126)
to CMS API.
Antonio Iacono
* Added the AuthEnvelopedData content type structure (RFC 5083)
with AES-GCM parameter (RFC 5084) for the Cryptographic Message
Syntax (CMS). Its purpose is to support encryption and decryption
of a digital envelope that is both authenticated and encrypted
using AES GCM mode.
Jakub Zelenka
* Deprecated EC_POINT_make_affine() and EC_POINTs_make_affine().
These functions are not widely used and now OpenSSL automatically
perform this conversion when needed.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Deprecated EC_GROUP_precompute_mult(),
EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult(), and EC_KEY_precompute_mult().
These functions are not widely used and applications should
instead switch to named curves which OpenSSL has hardcoded lookup
tables for.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Deprecated EC_POINTs_mul(). This function is not widely used and
applications should instead use the L function.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Removed FIPS_mode() and FIPS_mode_set(). These functions are
legacy API's that are not applicable to the new provider model.
Applications should instead use
EVP_default_properties_is_fips_enabled() and
EVP_default_properties_enable_fips().
Shane Lontis
* The SSL option SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF is introduced. If
that option is set, an unexpected EOF is ignored, it pretends a
close notify was received instead and so the returned error
becomes SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN.
Dmitry Belyavskiy
* Deprecated EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and
EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp(). These functions are
not widely used and applications should instead use the L
and L
functions.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Added OSSL_PARAM_BLD to the public interface. This allows
OSSL_PARAM arrays to be more easily constructed via a series of
utility functions. Create a parameter builder using
OSSL_PARAM_BLD_new(), add parameters using the various push
functions and finally convert to a passable OSSL_PARAM array
using OSSL_PARAM_BLD_to_param().
Paul Dale
* The security strength of SHA1 and MD5 based signatures in TLS has
been reduced. This results in SSL 3, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS
1.0 no longer working at the default security level of 1 and
instead requires security level 0. The security level can be
changed either using the cipher string with @SECLEVEL, or calling
SSL_CTX_set_security_level(). This also means that where the
signature algorithms extension is missing from a ClientHello then
the handshake will fail in TLS 1.2 at security level 1. This is
because, although this extension is optional, failing to provide
one means that OpenSSL will fallback to a default set of
signature algorithms. This default set requires the availability
of SHA1.
Kurt Roeckx
* Added EVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt(), to initialise an EVP_PKEY
to contain a provider side internal key.
Richard Levitte
* ASN1_verify(), ASN1_digest() and ASN1_sign() have been
deprecated. They are old functions that we don't use, and that
you could disable with the macro NO_ASN1_OLD. This goes all the
way back to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
Richard Levitte
* Project text documents not yet having a proper file name
extension (HACKING, LICENSE, NOTES*, README*, VERSION) have been
renamed to *.md as far as reasonable, else *.txt, for better use
with file managers.
David von Oheimb
* The main project documents (README, NEWS, CHANGES, INSTALL,
SUPPORT) have been converted to Markdown with the goal to produce
documents which not only look pretty when viewed online in the
browser, but remain well readable inside a plain text editor.
To achieve this goal, a 'minimalistic' Markdown style has been
applied which avoids formatting elements that interfere too much
with the reading flow in the text file. For example, it
+ avoids ATX headings and uses setext headings instead (which
works for and headings only).
+ avoids inline links and uses reference links instead.
+ avoids fenced code blocks and uses indented code blocks
instead.
Matthias St. Pierre
* The test suite is changed to preserve results of each test
recipe. A new directory test-runs/ with subdirectories named like
the test recipes are created in the build tree for this purpose.
Richard Levitte
* Added an implementation of CMP and CRMF (RFC 4210, RFC 4211 RFC
6712). This adds crypto/cmp/, crpyto/crmf/, apps/cmp.c, and test/
cmp_*. See L and L as
starting points.
David von Oheimb, Martin Peylo
* Generalized the HTTP client code from crypto/ocsp/ into crpyto/
http/. The legacy OCSP-focused and only partly documented API is
retained for backward compatibility. See L
etc. for details.
David von Oheimb
* Added util/check-format.pl, a tool for checking adherence to the
OpenSSL coding style https://www.openssl.org/policies/
codingstyle.html. The checks performed are incomplete and yield
some false positives. Still the tool should be useful for
detecting most typical glitches.
David von Oheimb
* BIO_do_connect() and BIO_do_handshake() have been extended: If
domain name resolution yields multiple IP addresses all of them
are tried after connect() failures.
David von Oheimb
* All of the low level RSA functions have been deprecated
including:
RSA_new_method, RSA_size, RSA_security_bits, RSA_get0_pss_params,

Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
for a long time. Instead applications should use L
, L, L
and L.
Paul Dale
* X509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at
security level 1 and above. In TLS/SSL the default security level
is 1. It can be set either using the cipher string with
@SECLEVEL, or calling SSL_CTX_set_security_level(). If the leaf
certificate is signed with SHA-1, a call to
SSL_CTX_use_certificate() will fail if the security level is not
lowered first. Outside TLS/SSL, the default security level is -1
(effectively 0). It can be set using
X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_auth_level() or using the -auth_level
options of the commands.
Kurt Roeckx
* The command line utilities dhparam, dsa, gendsa and dsaparam have
been modified to use PKEY APIs. These commands are now in
maintenance mode and no new features will be added to them.
Paul Dale
* The command line utility rsautl has been deprecated. Instead use
the pkeyutl program.
Paul Dale
* The command line utilities genrsa and rsa have been modified to
use PKEY APIs. They now write PKCS#8 keys by default. These
commands are now in maintenance mode and no new features will be
added to them.
Paul Dale
* All of the low level DH functions have been deprecated including:
DH_OpenSSL, DH_set_default_method, DH_get_default_method,
DH_set_method, DH_new_method, DH_new, DH_free, DH_up_ref,
DH_bits, DH_set0_pqg, DH_size, DH_security_bits,

DH_meth_set_init, DH_meth_get_finish, DH_meth_set_finish,
DH_meth_get_generate_params and DH_meth_set_generate_params.
Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
for a long time. Instead applications should use L
and L.
Additionally functions that read and write DH objects such as
d2i_DHparams, i2d_DHparams, PEM_read_DHparam, PEM_write_DHparams
and other similar functions have also been deprecated.
Applications should instead use the OSSL_DECODER and OSSL_ENCODER
APIs to read and write DH files.
Finaly functions that assign or obtain DH objects from an
EVP_PKEY such as EVP_PKEY_assign_DH(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(),
EVP_PKEY_get1_DH(), and EVP_PKEY_set1_DH() are also deprecated.
Applications should instead either read or write an EVP_PKEY
directly using the OSSL_DECODER and OSSL_ENCODER APIs. Or load an
EVP_PKEY directly from DH data using EVP_PKEY_fromdata().
Paul Dale and Matt Caswell
* All of the low level DSA functions have been deprecated
including:
DSA_new, DSA_free, DSA_up_ref, DSA_bits, DSA_get0_pqg,
DSA_set0_pqg, DSA_get0_key, DSA_set0_key, DSA_get0_p, DSA_get0_q,

DSA_meth_get_init, DSA_meth_set_init, DSA_meth_get_finish,
DSA_meth_set_finish, DSA_meth_get_paramgen,
DSA_meth_set_paramgen, DSA_meth_get_keygen and
DSA_meth_set_keygen.
Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
for a long time. Instead applications should use L
, L and L
.
Finaly functions that assign or obtain DSA objects from an
EVP_PKEY such as EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(),
EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(), and EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA() are also deprecated.
Applications should instead either read or write an EVP_PKEY
directly using the OSSL_DECODER and OSSL_ENCODER APIs, or load an
EVP_PKEY directly from DSA data using EVP_PKEY_fromdata().
Paul Dale
* Reworked the treatment of EC EVP_PKEYs with the SM2 curve to
automatically become EVP_PKEY_SM2 rather than EVP_PKEY_EC. This
means that applications don't have to look at the curve NID and
EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(pkey, EVP_PKEY_SM2) to get SM2
computations. However, they still can, that
EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type() call acts as a no-op when the EVP_PKEY
is already of the given type.
Parameter and key generation is also reworked to make it possible
to generate EVP_PKEY_SM2 parameters and keys without having to go
through EVP_PKEY_EC generation and then change the EVP_PKEY type.
However, code that does the latter will still work as before.
Richard Levitte
* Deprecated low level ECDH and ECDSA functions. These include:
ECDH_compute_key, ECDSA_do_sign, ECDSA_do_sign_ex,
ECDSA_do_verify, ECDSA_sign_setup, ECDSA_sign, ECDSA_sign_ex,
ECDSA_verify and ECDSA_size.
Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
for a long time. Instead applications should use the
EVP_PKEY_derive(3), EVP_DigestSign(3) and EVP_DigestVerify(3)
functions.
Paul Dale
* Deprecated EVP_PKEY_decrypt_old(), please use
EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init() and EVP_PKEY_decrypt() instead.
Deprecated EVP_PKEY_encrypt_old(), please use
EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init() and EVP_PKEY_encrypt() instead.
Richard Levitte
* Enhanced the documentation of EVP_PKEY_size(), EVP_PKEY_bits()
and EVP_PKEY_security_bits(). Especially EVP_PKEY_size() needed a
new formulation to include all the things it can be used for, as
well as words of caution.
Richard Levitte
* The SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb(3) function has been
deprecated. Instead used the new
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_evp_cb(3) function.
Paul Dale
* All of the low level HMAC functions have been deprecated
including:
HMAC, HMAC_size, HMAC_CTX_new, HMAC_CTX_reset, HMAC_CTX_free,
HMAC_Init_ex, HMAC_Update, HMAC_Final, HMAC_CTX_copy,
HMAC_CTX_set_flags and HMAC_CTX_get_md.
Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
for a long time. Instead applications should use L
, L, L,
L and L.
Paul Dale
* Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation,
including:
+ Common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version
control, etc) were refactored and point to newly-enhanced
descriptions in openssl.pod.
+ Added style conformance for all options (with help from
Richard Levitte), documented all reported missing options,
added a CI build to check that all options are documented and
that no unimplemented options are documented.
+ Documented some internals, such as all use of environment
variables.
+ Addressed all internal broken L<> references.
Rich Salz
* All of the low level CMAC functions have been deprecated
including:
CMAC_CTX_new, CMAC_CTX_cleanup, CMAC_CTX_free,
CMAC_CTX_get0_cipher_ctx, CMAC_CTX_copy, CMAC_Init, CMAC_Update,
CMAC_Final and CMAC_resume.
Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
for a long time. Instead applications should use L
, L, L,
L and L.
Paul Dale
* All of the low level MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD160, SHA1,
SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and Whirlpool digest functions
have been deprecated. These include:
MD2, MD2_options, MD2_Init, MD2_Update, MD2_Final, MD4, MD4_Init,
MD4_Update, MD4_Final, MD4_Transform, MD5, MD5_Init, MD5_Update,

SHA512_Final, SHA512_Transform, WHIRLPOOL, WHIRLPOOL_Init,
WHIRLPOOL_Update, WHIRLPOOL_BitUpdate and WHIRLPOOL_Final.
Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
for a long time. Applications should use the EVP_DigestInit_ex
(3), EVP_DigestUpdate(3) and EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3) functions
instead.
Paul Dale
* Corrected the documentation of the return values from the
EVP_DigestSign* set of functions. The documentation mentioned
negative values for some errors, but this was never the case, so
the mention of negative values was removed.
Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with
something like EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0 will continue to work
undisturbed.
Richard Levitte
* All of the low level cipher functions have been deprecated
including:
AES_options, AES_set_encrypt_key, AES_set_decrypt_key,
AES_encrypt, AES_decrypt, AES_ecb_encrypt, AES_cbc_encrypt,

SEED_set_key, SEED_encrypt, SEED_decrypt, SEED_ecb_encrypt,
SEED_cbc_encrypt, SEED_cfb128_encrypt and SEED_ofb128_encrypt.
Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged
for a long time. Applications should use the high level EVP APIs,
e.g. EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex,
and the equivalently named decrypt functions instead.
Matt Caswell and Paul Dale
* Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not
including . A short header include/openssl/
opensslconf.h was added to include both.
This allows internal hacks where one might need to modify the set
of configured macros, for example this if deprecated symbols are
still supposed to be available internally:
#include
#undef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
#define OPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED
#include
This should not be used by applications that use the exported
symbols, as that will lead to linking errors.
Richard Levitte
* Fixed an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be
very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks
against DH512 are considered just feasible. However, for an
attack the target would have to re-use the DH512 private key,
which is not recommended anyway. Also applications directly using
the low level API BN_mod_exp may be affected if they use
BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. (CVE-2019-1551)
Andy Polyakov
* Most memory-debug features have been deprecated, and the
functionality replaced with no-ops.
Rich Salz
* Added documentation for the STACK API.
Rich Salz
* Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_ENCODER, to represent
generic encoders. An implementation is expected to be able to
encode an object associated with a given name (such as an
algorithm name for an asymmetric key) into forms given by
implementation properties.
Encoders are primarily used from inside libcrypto, through calls
to functions like EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() and similar.
Encoders are specified in such a way that they can be made to
directly handle the provider side portion of an object, if this
provider side part comes from the same provider as the encoder
itself, but can also be made to handle objects in parametrized
form (as an OSSL_PARAM array of data). This allows a provider to
offer generic encoders as a service for any other provider.
Richard Levitte
* Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files,
to allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
Currently added pragma:
.pragma dollarid:on
This allows dollar signs to be a keyword character unless it's
followed by a opening brace or parenthesis. This is useful for
platforms where dollar signs are commonly used in names, such as
volume names and system directory names on VMS.
Richard Levitte
* Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY from user data. This is
effectively the same as creating a RSA, DH or DSA object and then
assigning them to an EVP_PKEY, but directly using algorithm
agnostic EVP functions. A benefit is that this should be future
proof for public key algorithms to come.
Richard Levitte
* Change the interpretation of the '--api' configuration option to
mean that this is a desired API compatibility level with no
further meaning. The previous interpretation, that this would
also mean to remove all deprecated symbols up to and including
the given version, no requires that 'no-deprecated' is also used
in the configuration.
When building applications, the desired API compatibility level
can be set with the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT macro like before. For API
compatibility version below 3.0, the old style numerical value is
valid as before, such as -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L. For
version 3.0 and on, the value is expected to be the decimal value
calculated from the major and minor version like this:
MAJOR * 10000 + MINOR * 100
Examples:
-DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30000 For 3.0
-DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30200 For 3.2
To hide declarations that are deprecated up to and including the
given API compatibility level, -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED must be
given when building the application as well.
Richard Levitte
* Added the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD called X509_LOOKUP_store, to allow
access to certificate and CRL stores via URIs and OSSL_STORE
loaders.
This adds the following functions:
+ X509_LOOKUP_store()
+ X509_STORE_load_file()
+ X509_STORE_load_path()
+ X509_STORE_load_store()
+ SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
+ SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_store()
+ SSL_CTX_load_verify_file()
+ SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir()
+ SSL_CTX_load_verify_store()
Richard Levitte
* Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on
SYS$GET_ENTROPY. The presence of this system service is
determined at run-time.
Richard Levitte
* Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
Richard Levitte
* The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
Rich Salz
* Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See
the man pages for further details.
Matt Caswell
* Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation,
including: adding missing command flags, better style
conformance, documentation of internals, etc.
Rich Salz, Richard Levitte
* s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384,
P-521, X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
Patrick Steuer
* Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12',
not just the first value.
Jon Spillett
* Deprecated the public definition of ERR_STATE as well as the
function ERR_get_state(). This is done in preparation of making
ERR_STATE an opaque type.
Richard Levitte
* Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored
function names that have replaced the older function code based
functions.
New functions are ERR_peek_error_func(), ERR_peek_last_error_func
(), ERR_peek_error_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_data(),
ERR_get_error_all(), ERR_peek_error_all() and
ERR_peek_last_error_all().
These functions have become deprecated: ERR_get_error_line(),
ERR_get_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_error_line_data(),
ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and ERR_func_error_string().
Users are recommended to use ERR_get_error_all(), or to pick
information with ERR_peek functions and finish off with getting
the error code by using ERR_get_error().
Richard Levitte
* Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make
variables VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
$ make VF=1 test # Unix
$ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
$ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
Richard Levitte
* Added the -copy_extensions option to the x509 command for use
with -req and -x509toreq. When given with the copy or copyall
argument, all extensions in the request are copied to the
certificate or vice versa.
David von Oheimb, Kirill Stefanenkov
kirill_stefanenkov@rambler.ru
* Added the -copy_extensions option to the req command for use with
-x509. When given with the copy or copyall argument, all
extensions in the certification request are copied to the
certificate.
David von Oheimb
* The x509, req, and ca commands now make sure that X.509v3
certificates they generate are by default RFC 5280 compliant in
the following sense: There is a subjectKeyIdentifier extension
with a hash value of the public key and for not self-signed certs
there is an authorityKeyIdentifier extension with a keyIdentifier
field or issuer information identifying the signing key. This is
done unless some configuration overrides the new default
behavior, such as subjectKeyIdentifier = none and
authorityKeyIdentifier = none.
David von Oheimb
* Added several checks to X509_verify_cert() according to
requirements in RFC 5280 in case X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT is set
(which may be done by using the CLI option -x509_strict):
+ The basicConstraints of CA certificates must be marked
critical.
+ CA certificates must explicitly include the keyUsage
extension.
+ If a pathlenConstraint is given the key usage keyCertSign
must be allowed.
+ The issuer name of any certificate must not be empty.
+ The subject name of CA certs, certs with keyUsage crlSign,
and certs without subjectAlternativeName must not be empty.
+ If a subjectAlternativeName extension is given it must not be
empty.
+ The signatureAlgorithm field and the cert signature must be
consistent.
+ Any given authorityKeyIdentifier and any given
subjectKeyIdentifier must not be marked critical.
+ The authorityKeyIdentifier must be given for X.509v3 certs
unless they are self-signed.
+ The subjectKeyIdentifier must be given for all X.509v3 CA
certs.
David von Oheimb
* Certificate verification using X509_verify_cert() meanwhile
rejects EC keys with explicit curve parameters (specifiedCurve)
as required by RFC 5480.
Tomas Mraz
* For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve
name is used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading
a encoded key or calling EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()/
EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters(). This prevents bypass of
security hardening and performance gains, especially for curves
with specialized EC_METHODs. By default, if a key encoded with
explicit parameters is loaded and later encoded, the output is
still encoded with explicit parameters, even if internally a
"named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
Nicola Tuveri
* Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP
construction. Before this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would
accept order and/or cofactor as NULL. After this change, only the
cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also does some minimal sanity
checks on the passed order. (CVE-2019-1547)
Billy Bob Brumley
* Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and
CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey. An attack is simple, if the first
CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the second CMS_recipientInfo is
chosen ciphertext. If the second recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1
v1.5 form plaintext, the correct encryption key will be replaced
by garbage, and the message cannot be decoded, but if the RSA
decryption fails, the correct encryption key is used and the
recipient will not notice the attack. As a work around for this
potential attack the length of the decrypted key must be equal to
the cipher default key length, in case the certifiate is not
given and all recipientInfo are tried out. The old behaviour can
be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT
flag.
Bernd Edlinger
* Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has
been improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will
wait for /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /
dev/urandom. The seeded state is stored for future library
initialisations using a system global shared memory segment. The
shared memory identifier can be configured by defining
OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to the desired value. The
default identifier is 114.
Paul Dale
* Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
when primes for RSA keys are computed. Since we previously always
generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys, the 2-prime and
3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since N = p*q = 1
(mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA
modules.
Bernd Edlinger
* Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems.
Without this fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a
non-EBCDIC system that negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately
this also means that TLS connections between EBCDIC systems with
this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this fix will fail if they
negotiate EMS.
Matt Caswell
* Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now
loaded by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now
occurs for both libcrypto and libssl. Use the
OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to OPENSSL_init_crypto() to
suppress automatic loading of a config file.
Matt Caswell
* Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and
ERR_raise_data(), where the former acts as a replacement for
ERR_put_error(), and the latter replaces the combination
ERR_put_error() + ERR_add_error_data(). ERR_raise_data() adds
more flexibility by taking a format string and an arbitrary
number of arguments following it, to be processed with
BIO_snprintf().
Richard Levitte
* Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can
be used to check if a named provider is loaded and available.
When called, it will also activate all fallback providers if such
are still present.
Richard Levitte
* Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
Bernd Edlinger
* Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of
2q. Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by
DH_check but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0
of the private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the
private key.
Bernd Edlinger
* Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
Paul Dale
* {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have
been deprecated.
Rich Salz
* A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key
exchange algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange
algorithm can be obtained by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch
(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be used in a call to
EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to the
older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the
new functions for further details.
Matt Caswell
* The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a
function.
Matt Caswell
* Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
xxx_F_xxx define's.
* Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
Rich Salz
* Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL. Also removed "export
var as function" capability; we do not export variables, only
functions.
Rich Salz
* RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0
indicating an error and 1 indicating success. In previous
versions of OpenSSL this was a void type. If a key was set longer
than the maximum possible this would crash.
Matt Caswell
* Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509
certificate.
Paul Yang
* Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
Tomas Mraz
* Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5
RFC2898. This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits,
the derived key length is at least 112 bits, and that the
iteration count is at least 1000. For backwards compatibility
these checks are disabled by default in the default provider, but
are enabled by default in the fips provider. To enable or disable
these checks use the control EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
Shane Lontis
* Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
#defines are deprecated.
Todd Short
* Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building
libraries for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink"
option has been added.
Kenji Mouri
* Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
Richard Levitte
* Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
Shane Lontis
* Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
Shane Lontis
* Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info' for
scripting purposes.
Richard Levitte
* The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have
been deprecated. These undocumented functions were never
integrated into the EVP layer and implement the AES Infinite
Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES Bi-directional IGE mode.
These modes were never formally standardised and usage of these
functions is believed to be very small. In particular
AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but
only one is ever used. The security implications are believed to
be minimal, but this issue was never fixed for backwards
compatibility reasons. New code should not use these modes.
Matt Caswell
* Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
Paul Dale
* Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
Paul Dale
* Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using
openssl dgst. This output format is to replicate the output
format found in the *sum checksum programs. This aims to preserve
backward compatibility.
Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale
* Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose. The
configuration option is now deprecated.
Richard Levitte
* Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display
the digest name in its output.
Richard Levitte
* Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly
intended as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To
utilize it, OpenSSL needs to be configured with the enable-trace
option.
If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace
output by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of
tracing and debugging categories.
The openssl program has been expanded to enable any of the types
available via environment variables defined by the user, and
serves as one possible example on how to use this functionality.
Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre
* Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do
one thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This
tests that the public header files can be usefully included in a
C++ application.
This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the
option 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
Richard Levitte
* Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
Shane Lontis
* Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
Shane Lontis
* Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework
to the core.
Paul Dale
* Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP
through a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD. This
also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective to
affine coordinates.
Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri
* Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and
PRF implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge
for those algorithms that were already supported through the
EVP_PKEY API (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF
functions for PBKDF2 and scrypt are now wrappers that call
EVP_KDF.
David Makepeace
* Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
Eneas U de Queiroz
* Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
Antoine Salon
* Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret
used by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older
versions of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There
is a runtime switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by
default) enabling interoperability with such broken
implementations. However, enabling this switch breaks
interoperability with correct implementations.
* Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
Bernd Edlinger
* Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to
EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
Richard Levitte
* Changed the license to the Apache License v2.0.
Richard Levitte
* Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
+ Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release
number) may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
+ Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release
number) may introduce new features but retain API/ABI
compatibility.
+ Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
features only (like improving performance or adding
documentation) and retain API/ABI compatibility.
Richard Levitte
* Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
Todd Short
* Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
Richard Levitte
* Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
Richard Levitte
* Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories
to look into.
Richard Levitte
* Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
Paul Dale
* Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
Richard Levitte
* Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC
bridge, to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw
private keys in functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and
EVP_DigestVerify*.
Richard Levitte
* Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal.
Users should use the EVP interface instead
(EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
Antoine Salon
* Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as
replacements for the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and
ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names are retained for backwards
compatibility.
Antoine Salon
* AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to
mitigate the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of
Tweakable Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by
Phillip Rogaway. Details of this attack can be obtained from:
http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
Paul Dale
* Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in
previous versions. Their names now include the name of the final
product, as well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
Richard Levitte
* Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will
display the list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
Richard Levitte
* Added the options -crl_lastupdate and -crl_nextupdate to openssl
ca, allowing the lastUpdate and nextUpdate fields in the
generated CRL to be set explicitly.
Chris Novakovic
* Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel
data-path improves application performance by removing data
copies and providing applications with zero-copy system calls
such as sendfile and splice.
Boris Pismenny
* The SSL option SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT is introduced. If that
option is set, openssl cleanses (zeroize) plaintext bytes from
internal buffers after delivering them to the application. Note,
the application is still responsible for cleansing other copies
(e.g.: data received by SSL_read(3)).
Martin Elshuber
* PKCS12_parse now maintains the order of the parsed certificates
when outputting them via *ca (rather than reversing it).
David von Oheimb
* Deprecated pthread fork support methods. These were unused so no
replacement is required.
+ OPENSSL_fork_prepare()
+ OPENSSL_fork_parent()
+ OPENSSL_fork_child()
Randall S. Becker
OpenSSL 1.1.1
Changes between 1.1.1j and 1.1.1k [xx XXX xxxx]
* Fixed a problem with verifying a certificate chain when using the
X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag. This flag enables additional
security checks of the certificates present in a certificate
chain. It is not set by default.
Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow
certificates in the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic
curve parameters was added as an additional strict check.
An error in the implementation of this check meant that the
result of a previous check to confirm that certificates in the
chain are valid CA certificates was overwritten. This effectively
bypasses the check that non-CA certificates must not be able to
issue other certificates.
If a "purpose" has been configured then there is a subsequent
opportunity for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of
the named "purpose" values implemented in libcrypto perform this
check. Therefore, where a purpose is set the certificate chain
will still be rejected even when the strict flag has been used. A
purpose is set by default in libssl client and server certificate
verification routines, but it can be overridden or removed by an
application.
In order to be affected, an application must explicitly set the
X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification flag and either not set a
purpose for the certificate verification or, in the case of TLS
client or server applications, override the default purpose.
([CVE-2021-3450])
Tomas Mraz
* Fixed an issue where an OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a
maliciously crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a
client. If a TLSv1.2 renegotiation ClientHello omits the
signature_algorithms extension (where it was present in the
initial ClientHello), but includes a signature_algorithms_cert
extension then a NULL pointer dereference will result, leading to
a crash and a denial of service attack.
A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation
enabled (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients
are not impacted by this issue. ([CVE-2021-3449])
Peter Kastle and Samuel Sapalski
Changes between 1.1.1i and 1.1.1j [16 Feb 2021]
* Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts to
create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial number
data contained within an X509 certificate. However it was failing
to correctly handle any errors that may occur while parsing the
issuer field (which might occur if the issuer field is
maliciously constructed). This may subsequently result in a NULL
pointer deref and a crash leading to a potential denial of
service attack. ([CVE-2021-23841])
Matt Caswell
* Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the
RSA_SSLV23_PADDING padding mode to correctly check for rollback
attacks. This is considered a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1 because it
does not support SSLv2. In 1.0.2 this is CVE-2021-23839.
Matt Caswell
Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and
EVP_DecryptUpdate functions. Previously they could overflow the
output length argument in some cases where the input length is
close to the maximum permissable length for an integer on the
platform. In such cases the return value from the function call
would be 1 (indicating success), but the output length value
would be negative. This could cause applications to behave
incorrectly or crash. ([CVE-2021-23840])
Matt Caswell
* Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time. The
previous implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting
BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This could be exploited in a side channel
attack to recover the password. Since the attack is local host
only this is outside of the current OpenSSL threat model and
therefore no CVE is assigned.
Thanks to Mohammed Sabt and Daniel De Almeida Braga for reporting
this issue.
Matt Caswell
Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [8 Dec 2020]
* Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function This
function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an
EDIPARTYNAME. If an attacker can control both items being
compared then this could lead to a possible denial of service
attack. OpenSSL itself uses the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two
purposes:
1. Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available
CRL and a CRL distribution point embedded in an X509
certificate
2. When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches
the timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token) (
CVE-2020-1971)
Matt Caswell
Changes between 1.1.1g and 1.1.1h [22 Sep 2020]
* Certificates with explicit curve parameters are now disallowed in
verification chains if the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag is used.
Tomas Mraz
* The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now
silently ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring
DTLS-based contexts, and conversely, silently ignore DTLS
protocol version bounds when configuring TLS-based contexts. The
commands can be repeated to set bounds of both types. The same
applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and "max_protocol"
command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS and
DTLS.
SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version
(e.g. TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds.
Previously attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions
would result in an error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX
instances are subject to limits in configuration files in
command-line options.
Viktor Dukhovni
* Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is
dropped on renegotiation.
Tomas Mraz
* The Oracle Developer Studio compiler will start reporting
deprecated APIs
Changes between 1.1.1f and 1.1.1g [21 Apr 2020]
* Fixed segmentation fault in SSL_check_chain() Server or client
applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function during or
after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer
dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the
"signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an
invalid or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the
peer. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of
Service attack. (CVE-2020-1967)
Benjamin Kaduk
* Added AES consttime code for no-asm configurations an optional
constant time support for AES was added when building openssl for
no-asm. Enable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_AES_CONST_TIME
Disable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_NO_AES_CONST_TIME At this
time this feature is by default disabled. It will be enabled by
default in 3.0.
Bernd Edlinger
Changes between 1.1.1e and 1.1.1f [31 Mar 2020]
* Revert the change of EOF detection while reading in libssl to
avoid regressions in applications depending on the current way of
reporting the EOF. As the existing method is not fully accurate
the change to reporting the EOF via SSL_ERROR_SSL is kept on the
current development branch and will be present in the 3.0
release.
Tomas Mraz
* Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 3..17863 in p-1
when primes for RSA keys are computed. Since we previously always
generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys, the 2-prime and
3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since N = pq = 1
(mod 3), but N = pq*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA
modules.
Bernd Edlinger
Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [17 Mar 2020]
* Properly detect EOF while reading in libssl. Previously if we hit
an EOF while reading in libssl then we would report an error back
to the application (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL) but errno would be 0. We
now add an error to the stack (which means we instead return
SSL_ERROR_SSL) and therefore give a hint as to what went wrong.
Matt Caswell
* Check that ed25519 and ed448 are allowed by the security level.
Previously signature algorithms not using an MD were not being
checked that they were allowed by the security level.
Kurt Roeckx
* Fixed SSL_get_servername() behaviour. The behaviour of
SSL_get_servername() was not quite right. The behaviour was not
consistent between resumption and normal handshakes, and also not
quite consistent with historical behaviour. The behaviour in
various scenarios has been clarified and it has been updated to
make it match historical behaviour as closely as possible.
Matt Caswell
* [VMS only] The header files that the VMS compilers include
automatically, __DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H and
__DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H, use pragmas that the C++ compiler
doesn't understand. This is a shortcoming in the compiler, but
can be worked around with __cplusplus guards.
C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled
using the qualifier /NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED) to be able to use
all the OpenSSL functions. Otherwise, only functions with symbols
of less than 31 characters can be used, as the linker will not be
able to successfully resolve symbols with longer names.
Richard Levitte
* Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on
SYS$GET_ENTROPY. The presence of this system service is
determined at run-time.
Richard Levitte
* Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using
openssl dgst. This output format is to replicate the output
format found in the *sum checksum programs. This aims to preserve
backward compatibility.
Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale
* Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12',
not just the first value.
Jon Spillett
Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
* Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a
rewritten random number generator (RNG). This was intended to
include protection in the event of a fork() system call in order
to ensure that the parent and child processes did not share the
same RNG state. However this protection was not being used in the
default case.
A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a
high precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the
likelihood of a parent and child process sharing state is
significantly reduced.
If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly
using OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at
all. (CVE-2019-1549)
Matthias St. Pierre
* For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve
name is used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading
a encoded key or calling EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()/
EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters(). This prevents bypass of
security hardening and performance gains, especially for curves
with specialized EC_METHODs. By default, if a key encoded with
explicit parameters is loaded and later encoded, the output is
still encoded with explicit parameters, even if internally a
"named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
Nicola Tuveri
* Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP
construction. Before this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would
accept order and/or cofactor as NULL. After this change, only the
cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also does some minimal sanity
checks on the passed order. (CVE-2019-1547)
Billy Bob Brumley
* Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and
CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey. An attack is simple, if the first
CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the second CMS_recipientInfo is
chosen ciphertext. If the second recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1
v1.5 form plaintext, the correct encryption key will be replaced
by garbage, and the message cannot be decoded, but if the RSA
decryption fails, the correct encryption key is used and the
recipient will not notice the attack. As a work around for this
potential attack the length of the decrypted key must be equal to
the cipher default key length, in case the certifiate is not
given and all recipientInfo are tried out. The old behaviour can
be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT
flag. (CVE-2019-1563)
Bernd Edlinger
* Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has
been improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will
wait for /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /
dev/urandom. The seeded state is stored for future library
initialisations using a system global shared memory segment. The
shared memory identifier can be configured by defining
OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to the desired value. The
default identifier is 114.
Paul Dale
* Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems.
Without this fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a
non-EBCDIC system that negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately
this also means that TLS connections between EBCDIC systems with
this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this fix will fail if they
negotiate EMS.
Matt Caswell
* Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
paths should be used for installation. (CVE-2019-1552)
Richard Levitte
* Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q
subgroups. With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key
is not secret but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing
bit 0 of the private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of
the private key.
Bernd Edlinger
* Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
Paul Dale
* Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
/dev/random device to become readable before reading from the /
dev/urandom device.
It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
during early boot time.
Matthias St. Pierre
Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
* Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do
one thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This
tests that the public header files can be usefully included in a
C++ application.
This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the
option 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
Richard Levitte
* Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
Patrick Steuer
* Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of
1024. This changes the size when using the genpkey command when
no size is given. It fixes an omission in earlier changes that
changed all RSA, DSA and DH generation commands to use 2048 bits
by default.
Kurt Roeckx
* Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
Paul Yang, Joshua Lock
* Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()

* Have commands like s_client and s_server output the signature
scheme along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
Lorinczy Zsigmond
* Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
Richard Levitte
* Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
Bernd Edlinger
* Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce
input for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the
nonce value (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a
variable nonce length and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it
is less than 12 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce
to be set of up to 16 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes
are significant and any additional leading bytes are ignored.
It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are
susceptible to serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If
an application changes the default nonce length to be longer than
12 bytes and then makes a change to the leading bytes of the
nonce expecting the new value to be a new unique nonce then such
an application could inadvertently encrypt messages with a reused
nonce.
Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by
the integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that
relies on the integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long
nonce may be further affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this
cipher, including in SSL/TLS, is safe because no such use sets
such a long nonce value. However user applications that use this
cipher directly and set a non-default nonce length to be longer
than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran
Dirk Greef of Ronomon. (CVE-2019-1543)
Matt Caswell
* Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not
available, OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for
seeding its CSPRNG. Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom
device will not block during early boot when the kernel CSPRNG
has not been seeded yet.
To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/
random to become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
* Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
Paul Yang
Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
* Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a
post-handshake message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we
used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience
has shown that many applications get confused by this and assume
that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This can break
KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages
themselves are still signalled). This could break some
applications that were expecting the old signals. However without
this KeyUpdate is not usable for many applications.
Matt Caswell
Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
* Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be
vulnerable to a timing side channel attack. An attacker could use
variations in the signing algorithm to recover the private key.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel
Weiser. (CVE-2018-0734)
Paul Dale
* Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be
vulnerable to a timing side channel attack. An attacker could use
variations in the signing algorithm to recover the private key.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel
Weiser. (CVE-2018-0735)
Paul Dale
* Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards
random input if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been
raised to a buffer size of two gigabytes and the error handling
improved.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has
been categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because
the DRBG reseeds automatically and is fully functional even
without additional randomness provided by the application.
Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
* Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface
that gives the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL
object at the earliest stage of ClientHello processing,
immediately after extensions have been collected but before they
have been processed. In particular, this callback can adjust the
supported TLS versions in response to the contents of the
ClientHello
Benjamin Kaduk
* Add SM2 base algorithm support.
Jack Lloyd
* s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the
following cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm,
aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb, aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
Patrick Steuer
* Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL
pem_str parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt
table. NULL pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
Richard Levitte
* Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a
specialized ladder step for prime curves. The new implementation
is based on formulae from differential addition-and-doubling in
homogeneous projective coordinates from Izu-Takagi "A fast
parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant against side
channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves and
Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
to work in projective coordinates.
Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri
* Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate
of not being prime depends on the intended use based on the size
of the input. For larger primes this will result in more rounds
of Miller-Rabin. The maximal error rate for primes with more than
1080 bits is lowered to 2^-128.
Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar
* Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating
to 64.
Kurt Roeckx
* The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion
when moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a
Windows build is done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX
installs, there's still a symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid
that confusion as well.
Richard Levitte
* Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic
addition length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery
multiplication.
Andy Polyakov
* Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a
specialized ladder step for binary curves. The new implementation
is based on formulae from differential addition-and-doubling in
mixed Lopez-Dahab projective coordinates, modified to
independently blind the operands.
Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri
* Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder
implementation for ec_scalar_mul_ladder (formerly
ec_mul_consttime) allowing EC_METHODs to implement their own
specialized "ladder step", to take advantage of more favorable
coordinate systems or more efficient differential
addition-and-doubling algorithms.
Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri
* Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the
relevant file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each
access. This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail
without the associated device nodes being available. This
behaviour can be controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open
().
Paul Dale
* Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This
may have performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit
of improved security. Specific changes are noted in this change
log by their respective authors.
Matt Caswell
* AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way
of handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared
objects of different versions and bitnesses in one common
archive. This allows to mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1
side-by-side installations. It doesn't affect the way 3rd party
applications are linked, only how multi-version installation is
managed.
Andy Polyakov
* Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse(). When
using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new EC
cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure
to chosen point SCA attacks.
Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley
* Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side
channel attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
Matt Caswell
* Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command to ensure that the input
length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when
performing a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
Matt Caswell
* SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use
blocking I/O in combination with something like select() or poll
() will hang. This can be turned off again using
SSL_CTX_clear_mode(). Many applications do not properly handle
non-application data records, and TLS 1.3 sends more of such
records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works around the problems in
those applications, but can also break some. It's recommended to
read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(), SSL_get_error(),
SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead()
again.
Kurt Roeckx
* When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8
container, we now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
Richard Levitte
* Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove
patent pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div
implementation.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths
for binary and prime elliptic curves.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
constant time fixed point multiplication.
Billy Bob Brumley
* Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication
(which in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen,
sign, ECDH derive operations). Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri,
Cesar Pereida Garcia, Sohaib ul Hassan
* Updated CONTRIBUTING
Rich Salz
* Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
randomness from the system.
Matthias St. Pierre
* Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
Richard Levitte
* Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
Matt Caswell
* Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
Matt Caswell
* Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all
cases.
Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz
* Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl
s_server'
Richard Levitte
* Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() SSL_set_ciphersuites()
Matt Caswell
* Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
stack.
Rich Salz
* Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values in
libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
Bernd Edlinger
* Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
Matt Caswell
* Added new public header file and
documentation for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7)
for an overview.
Matthias St. Pierre
* QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their
approval for the license change).
Rich Salz
* TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented.
See the SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
Matt Caswell
* Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2
ciphersuite configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not
compatible with TLSv1.2 and below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites
are not compatible with TLSv1.3. In order to avoid issues where
legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration would otherwise
inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the configuration
has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
Matt Caswell
* On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running in
responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which spawns
the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP requests.
The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP responder's
patience to wait to receive the full client request on a newly
accepted connection. Child processes are respawned as needed, and
the CA index file is automatically reloaded when changed. This
makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder as a long-running
service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more feature-complete. In
this mode, most diagnostic messages logged after entering the
event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than written to
stderr.
Viktor Dukhovni
* Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work
by Mike Hamburg.
Matt Caswell
* Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the
set of objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect
() and OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct
searches and get the search data out of them.
Richard Levitte
* Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an
earlier version of OpenSSL should review their configuration
settings to ensure that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3.
For further information see: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/
TLS1.3
Matt Caswell
* Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is
essentially a port of the default random generator from the
OpenSSL FIPS 2.0 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic
random bit generator using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds
and reseeds itself automatically using trusted system entropy
sources.
Some of its new features are:
+ Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
+ The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
+ There is a public and private DRBG instance.
+ The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
+ Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is
enabled.
+ The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock
free operation
Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St.
Pierre
* Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
to display all sorts of configuration data.
Richard Levitte
* Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
Richard Levitte
* Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
Paul Dale
* The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
now been removed.
Rich Salz
* Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the
processing of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files
produced from the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully
easier to trace and debug (or make silent).
Richard Levitte
* Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
arguments to config / Configure.
Richard Levitte
* Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
Paul Yang
* Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016 Jack Lloyd
jack.lloyd@ribose.com, Ronald Tse ronald.tse@ribose.com, Erick
Borsboom erick.borsboom@ribose.com
* Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and
support as documented in RFC6066. Based on a patch from Tomasz
Mon
Filipe Raimundo da Silva
* Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016. Jack Lloyd
jack.lloyd@ribose.com, Ronald Tse ronald.tse@ribose.com, Erick
Borsboom erick.borsboom@ribose.com
* Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the original
author does not agree with the license change.
Rich Salz
* Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
Jon Spillett
* Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
Rich Salz
* Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last
mark without clearing the errors.
Richard Levitte
* Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
Rich Salz
* Add SHA3.
Andy Polyakov
* The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto,
i.e. not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still
possible to disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL()
(use UI_null() as a fallback).
To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the macro
OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still possible
to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
Richard Levitte
* Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based
reader of stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and
numerous other objects. The main API is loosely based on a few
stdio functions, and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load,
OSSL_STORE_eof, OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close. The
implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement
arbitrary URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the
'file' scheme.
Richard Levitte
* Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against
cryptodev-linux, then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by
default on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to
exist on all of them.
Richard Levitte
* Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading
to error code calls like this:
OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a
manner that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this
will only affect new modules.
Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson
* Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
Rich Salz
* Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated
files and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that
requires things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then
move everything to that system and do the rest of the build
there.
Richard Levitte
* In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data.
This can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a
longer time than just the call where this user data is passed.
Richard Levitte
* Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of
applications with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
Tomas Mraz tmraz@fedoraproject.org
* Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert
message is 2 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 -
TLSv1.2 to fragment such alerts across multiple records (some of
which could be empty). In practice it make no sense to send an
empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3 prohibits this
altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not support
this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause
interoperability issues.
Matt Caswell
* Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants
prefixed with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to
be size safe. The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and
scheduled for deprecation in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
Richard Levitte
* Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting
string, 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]
int64_t.
Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov
* Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what
RSA_get0_engine() does for RSA, etc.
Richard Levitte
* Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the
target platform rather than 'mingw'.
Richard Levitte
* The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
certificates and CRLs.
Paul Dale
* x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
Andy Polyakov
* Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT,
OPENSSL_EXTERN. Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became
a no-op.
Richard Levitte
* Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/
o_times.c. VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and
gmtime_r() since V7.1, which is the minimum version we support.
Richard Levitte
* Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
are no longer allowed.
Emilia Kasper
* Add support for ARIA
Paul Dale
* s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension
by default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The
server name is based on the host provided to the "-connect"
option unless overridden by using "-servername".
Matt Caswell
* Add support for SipHash
Todd Short
* OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in
TLS1.0 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and
TLS1.2. This is to prevent issues where no progress is being made
and the peer continually sends unrecognised record types, using
up resources processing them.
Matt Caswell
* 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
using the algorithm defined in https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/
SHA-crypt.txt
Richard Levitte
* Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
Richard Levitte, Rich Salz
* Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
Emilia Kasper
* The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid
patent issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
Rich Salz
OpenSSL 1.1.0
Changes between 1.1.0k and 1.1.0l [10 Sep 2019]
* For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve
name is used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading
a encoded key or calling EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()/
EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters(). This prevents bypass of
security hardening and performance gains, especially for curves
with specialized EC_METHODs. By default, if a key encoded with
explicit parameters is loaded and later encoded, the output is
still encoded with explicit parameters, even if internally a
"named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
Nicola Tuveri
* Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP
construction. Before this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would
accept order and/or cofactor as NULL. After this change, only the
cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also does some minimal sanity
checks on the passed order. (CVE-2019-1547)
Billy Bob Brumley
* Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and
CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey. An attack is simple, if the first
CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the second CMS_recipientInfo is
chosen ciphertext. If the second recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1
v1.5 form plaintext, the correct encryption key will be replaced
by garbage, and the message cannot be decoded, but if the RSA
decryption fails, the correct encryption key is used and the
recipient will not notice the attack. As a work around for this
potential attack the length of the decrypted key must be equal to
the cipher default key length, in case the certifiate is not
given and all recipientInfo are tried out. The old behaviour can
be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT
flag. (CVE-2019-1563)
Bernd Edlinger
* Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
paths should be used for installation. (CVE-2019-1552)
Richard Levitte
Changes between 1.1.0j and 1.1.0k [28 May 2019]
* Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of
1024. This changes the size when using the genpkey command when
no size is given. It fixes an omission in earlier changes that
changed all RSA, DSA and DH generation commands to use 2048 bits
by default.
Kurt Roeckx
* Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce
input for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the
nonce value (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a
variable nonce length and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it
is less than 12 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce
to be set of up to 16 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes
are significant and any additional leading bytes are ignored.
It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are
susceptible to serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If
an application changes the default nonce length to be longer than
12 bytes and then makes a change to the leading bytes of the
nonce expecting the new value to be a new unique nonce then such
an application could inadvertently encrypt messages with a reused
nonce.
Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by
the integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that
relies on the integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long
nonce may be further affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this
cipher, including in SSL/TLS, is safe because no such use sets
such a long nonce value. However user applications that use this
cipher directly and set a non-default nonce length to be longer
than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran
Dirk Greef of Ronomon. (CVE-2019-1543)
Matt Caswell
* Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP
through a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD. This
also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective to
affine coordinates.
Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri
* Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
Bernd Edlinger
* Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to
EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
Richard Levitte
* Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
Richard Levitte
Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.0j [20 Nov 2018]
* Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be
vulnerable to a timing side channel attack. An attacker could use

coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure
to chosen point SCA attacks.
Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley
Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [14 Aug 2018]
* Client DoS due to large DH parameter
During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based
ciphersuite a malicious server can send a very large prime value
to the client. This will cause the client to spend an
unreasonably long period of time generating a key for this prime
resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This could be
exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido
Vranken (CVE-2018-0732)
Guido Vranken
* Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be
vulnerable to a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker
with sufficient access to mount cache timing attacks during the
RSA key generation process could recover the private key.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro
Cabrera Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis
Manuel Alvarez Tapia. (CVE-2018-0737)
Billy Brumley
* Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL

container, we now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
Richard Levitte
* Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
are no longer allowed.
Emilia Kasper
* Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text
goes through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or
verifying a signature. This process strips trailing space at the
end of lines, converts line terminators to CRLF and removes
additional trailing line terminators at the end of a file. A bug
in the canonicalisation process meant that some characters, such
as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace and removed.
This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix could
mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text
data signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an
earlier version of OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify
the canonicalised text data and use the "-binary" flag (for the
"cms" command line application) or set the SMIME_BINARY/
PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).

* Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed
the stack
Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can
be found in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given
malicious input with excessive recursion. This could result in a
Denial Of Service attack. There are no such structures used
within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources so this is
considered safe.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the
OSS-fuzz project. (CVE-2018-0739)
Matt Caswell
* Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp
function is effectively reduced to only comparing the least
significant bit of each byte. This allows an attacker to forge
messages that would be considered as authenticated in an amount
of tries lower than that guaranteed by the security claims of the
scheme. The module can only be compiled by the HP-UX assembler,
so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter
Waltenberg (IBM). (CVE-2018-0733)
Andy Polyakov
* Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated
files and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that
requires things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then
move everything to that system and do the rest of the build
there.
Richard Levitte
* Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation
using the (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag.
Due to the opacity changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0.
Therefore the new SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev
has been backported to 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or
above) is run using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h)
then the option will be accepted but nothing will happen, i.e.
renegotiation will not be prevented.
Matt Caswell
* Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that
doesn't exist.
Rich Salz
* rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication
procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC
algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against
RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH1024 are
considered just feasible, because most of the work necessary to
deduce information about a private key may be performed offline.
The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the
server would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple
clients, which is no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX
extensions like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
The issue was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project. (

Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
* bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery
squaring procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis
suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed
likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although
very difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce
information about a private key may be performed offline. The
amount of resources required for such an attack would be very
significant and likely only accessible to a limited number of
attackers. An attacker would additionally need online access to
an unpatched system using the target private key in a scenario
with persistent DH parameters and a private key that is shared
between multiple clients.
This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX
extensions like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD
Ryzen.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project. (
CVE-2017-3736)
Andy Polyakov
* Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily
extension, OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most
likely result would be an erroneous display of the certificate in
text format.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project. (
CVE-2017-3735)
Rich Salz
Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
* Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the
target platform rather than 'mingw'.
Richard Levitte
* Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/
o_times.c. VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and
gmtime_r() since V7.1, which is the minimum version we support.
Richard Levitte
Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
* Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac
extension is negotiated where it was not in the original
handshake (or vice-versa) then this can cause OpenSSL to crash
(dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients and servers are
affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat). (

Matt Caswell
Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
* Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a
specific cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause
that host to perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in
a crash.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki of Google. (
CVE-2017-3731)
Andy Polyakov
* Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE
key exchange then this can result in the client attempting to
dereference a NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could
be exploited in a Denial of Service attack.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken. (
CVE-2017-3730)
Matt Caswell
* BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery
squaring procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis
suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed
likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although
very difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce

significant and likely only accessible to a limited number of
attackers. An attacker would additionally need online access to
an unpatched system using the target private key in a scenario
with persistent DH parameters and a private key that is shared
between multiple clients. For example this can occur by default
in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is
very similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate
problem.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project. (

Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
* ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are
susceptible to a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This
can result in an OpenSSL crash. This issue is not considered to
be exploitable beyond a DoS.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google
Security Team) (CVE-2016-7054)
Richard Levitte
* CMS Null dereference
Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL
pointer dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of
the ASN.1 CHOICE type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL
value being passed to the structure callback if an attempt is
made to free certain invalid encodings. Only CHOICE structures
using a callback which do not handle NULL value are affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of
ForAllSecure. (CVE-2016-7053)
Stephen Henson
* Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific
Montgomery multiplication procedure that handles input lengths
divisible by, but longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that
attacks against RSA, DSA and DH private keys are impossible. This
is because the subroutine in question is not used in operations
with the private key itself and an input of the attacker's direct
choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as transient
authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted
input. Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are
affected and one presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation.
Impact was not analyzed in detail, because pre-requisites for
attack are considered unlikely. Namely multiple clients have to
choose the curve in question and the server has to share the
private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was
not initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard
Morgan for providing reproducible case. (CVE-2016-7055)
Andy Polyakov
* Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and
executables, as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't
needed any more.

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

Matt Caswell
Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
* OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status
Request extension. If that client continually requests
renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status Request extension each
time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the server.
This will eventually lead to a Denial Of Service attack through
memory exhaustion. Servers with a default configuration are
vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using the
"no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo
360 Inc.) (CVE-2016-6304)
Matt Caswell
* SSL_peek() hang on empty record
OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if
the peer sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a
malicious peer in a Denial Of Service attack.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor. (CVE-2016-6305
)
Matt Caswell
* Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header
for the message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in
length. Messages of this length are excessive and OpenSSL
includes a check to ensure that a peer is sending reasonably
sized messages in order to avoid too much memory being consumed
to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version 1.1.0
means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior
to the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is
allocated in OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up
to 21Mb to be allocated to service a connection. This could lead
to a Denial of Service through memory exhaustion. However, the
excessive message length check still takes place, and this would
cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming that the
application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately
freed again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be
transitory in nature. This then means that there is only a
security impact if:
1. The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner
in the event that the connection fails or
2. The application is working in a constrained environment where
there is very little free memory or
3. The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that
there are multiple connections in a state where memory has
been allocated for the connection; SSL_free() has not yet
been called; and there is insufficient memory to service the
multiple requests.
Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is
likely to be transitory because as soon as the connection fails
the memory is subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call.
However there is an increased risk during this period of
application crashes due to the lack of memory - which would then
mean a more serious Denial of Service.

Matt Caswell
* solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily
available prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
Andy Polyakov
Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
* Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for
arguments and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8
environment variable (to any value) allows Windows user to access
PKCS#12 file generated with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with
non-ASCII password, as well as files generated under UTF-8 locale
on Linux also protected with non-ASCII password.
Andy Polyakov
* To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher
suites have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT,
just like RC4. See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
Rich Salz
* The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND
seed file has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not
set then we check the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and
%SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If all else fails we fall back to C:.
Matt Caswell
* The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed
from void to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a
return of 1 indicates success.
Matt Caswell
* The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to
switch off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH
have been made no-ops and deprecated.
Matt Caswell
* Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets were
also closed.
Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz
* The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available with
API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
Rich Salz
* Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature. SSL_CTX_up_ref(),
SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(), X509_CRL_up_ref
(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an int
(instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods. So now
these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
and the validity of object reference counter.

* With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
Richard Levitte
* Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
Richard Levitte
* Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still
decide to build for a different bitness with the environment
variable KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
Richard Levitte
* Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
Steve Henson
* Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
Andy Polyakov
* Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
Rich Salz
* To enable users to have their own config files and build file
templates, Configure looks in the directory indicated by the
environment variable OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the
in-source Configurations/ directory. On VMS,
OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical name and is
used as is.
Richard Levitte
* The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT,
X509_STORE_CTX, X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD.
The unused type X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
Rich Salz
* "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static
libraries use the "no-shared" Configure option.
Matt Caswell
* Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure
options. All of these option have not worked for some while and
are fundamental algorithms.
Matt Caswell
* Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated.
Most global cleanup functions are no longer required because they
are handled via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and
OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages). Explicitly de-initing can cause
problems (e.g. where a library that uses OpenSSL de-inits, but an
application is still using it). The affected functions are
CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(), EVP_cleanup
(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(),
ERR_free_strings() and COMP_zlib_cleanup().
Matt Caswell
* --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
enabled with '--debug' builds.
Andy Polyakov, Emilia Kasper
* Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH
objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
functions for managing these have been added.
Matt Caswell
* Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
functions for managing these have been added.
Richard Levitte
* Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA
objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
functions for managing these have been added.
Matt Caswell
* Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs
have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for
managing these have been added.
Matt Caswell
* Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name
for AES.
Matt Caswell
* Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
Richard Levitte
* Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so it
is always safe to #include a header now.
Rich Salz
* Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
Richard Levitte
* Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
Rich Salz
* Add support for HKDF.
Alessandro Ghedini
* Add support for blake2b and blake2s
Bill Cox
* Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process
multiple encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are
currently no built-in ciphers with this property but the
expectation is that engines will be able to offer it to
significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended into
libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
Matt Caswell
* Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is
able to offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version
it only supports AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or
greater.
Catriona Lucey
* OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary
to set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded
environment. There are two supported threading models: pthreads
and windows threads. It is also possible to configure OpenSSL at
compile time for "no-threads". The old threading API should no
longer be used. The functions have been replaced with "no-op"
compatibility macros.
Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell
* Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
Todd Short
* Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
Todd Short
* Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
+ Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
+ Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
+ Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
+ Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
+ Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
default cipherlist.
Emilia Kasper
* Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
Rich Salz
* RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers
and are disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
Matt Caswell
* If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that
the client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol"
alert. This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't
universally implemented by other servers.
Emilia Kasper
* Add X25519 support. Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519.
This includes support for public and private key encoding using
the format documented in draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The
corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports key generation and key
derivation.
TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
X25519(29).
Steve Henson
* Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user. SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had
inconsistent memory management behaviour. In order to fix an
unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798), SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
is configured.
Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
that of a valid user.
Emilia Kasper
* Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
irrelevant.
Richard Levitte
* Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
position independent code, it will always be applied on the
libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
of how OpenSSL was configured.
If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will also
disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
Richard Levitte
* Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
Rich Salz
* The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to DESTDIR.
That makes for less confusion on what this variable is for. Also,
the configuration option --install_prefix is removed.
Richard Levitte
* Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default for
DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the old #
define's might need to be updated.
Emilia Kasper, Rich Salz
* Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
Rich Salz
* New "unified" build system
The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
This system builds supports building in a different directory
tree than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix
family or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
information for each directory with source to compile, and a
template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
descrip.mms.tmpl.
With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
libraries" in INSTALL.
We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
Richard Levitte
* Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of
the library. OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit
routines to be called, except in certain circumstances. See the
OPENSSL_init_crypto() and OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for
further information.
Matt Caswell
* The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed.
Specifically the "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR
object.
* Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked
consistent support of IPv6, and adding it required some more
extensive modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and
BIO_ADDRINFO types, which hold all types of addresses and chains
of address information. It also introduces a new API, with
functions like BIO_socket, BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup
and a rewrite of BIO_accept. The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect,
BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram have been adapted accordingly.
Richard Levitte
* RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and
without the leading 0-byte.
Emilia Kasper
* CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL
is compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable
compression by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx,
SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by using the SSL_CONF library to
configure compression.
Emilia Kasper
* The signature of the session callback configured with
SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
was explicitly marked as const unsigned char* instead of unsigned
char*.
Emilia Kasper
* Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a
no-op.
Emilia Kasper
* Removed many obsolete configuration items, including DES_PTR,
DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG BF_PTR,
BF_PTR2 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG,
RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov
* Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov
* Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
Text::Template.
Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
table %config), the target data that comes from the target
configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
%target).
Richard Levitte
* To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
--prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
straightforward and less interdependent.
--prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location
INSTALLTOP where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and
manuals are going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
--openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
installed. If the directory given with this option is a relative
path, the values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir
value will be combined to become OPENSSLDIR. The default for
--openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
Richard Levitte
* The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been
removed. An up to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an
external repository. See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/
Binaries. Libssl still retains support for GOST ciphersuites
(these are only activated if a GOST engine is present).
Matt Caswell
* EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
configuring.
Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz
* The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
create Makefile's when Configure is run. Configure must be run
before trying to build now.
Rich Salz
* The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error
conditions has changed.
Rich Salz
* Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is the
application's responsibility. The application provides the TLSA
records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then used to
authenticate the peer.
The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form of
TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification based on
the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
Viktor Dukhovni
* Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0 or
the 1.1.0 releases.
In environments in which all applications have been ported to not
use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script should
be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove support
for the deprecated features from the library and unconditionally
disable them in the installed headers. Essentially the same
effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated" argument to
Configure, except that this will always restrict the build to
just the latest API, rather than a fixed API version.
As applications are ported to future revisions of the API, they
should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
compile with later releases.
The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those versions
did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and so
applications are not typically tested for explicit support of
just the undeprecated features of either release.
Viktor Dukhovni
* Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported
protocol. It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol
and MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS client
at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
Kurt Roeckx
* Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
Andy Polyakov
* New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and
ECDH_METHOD and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC.
Implementations can now redirect key generation and no longer
need to convert to or from ECDSA_SIG format.
Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and
just include the ec.h header file instead.
Steve Henson
* Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all
the export ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support
the ephemeral RSA key exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't
have any ciphers in it.
Kurt Roeckx
* Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
were added:
HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
Additional changes:
1. EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
an already created structure.
2. For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
for deprecated builds.
Richard Levitte
* Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library
to enable cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously
as long as an asynchronous capable engine is used. See the
ASYNC_start_job() man page for further details. Libssl has also
had this capability integrated with the introduction of the new
mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC.
See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man pages. This
work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
Matt Caswell
* SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means
that the "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
Kurt Roeckx
* SSL_{CTX}set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally
calls SSL{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
Kurt Roeckx
* Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should
set the curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
Kurt Roeckx
* State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been
significantly refactored in order to remove much duplication of
code and solve issues with the old code (see ssl/statem/README.md
for further details). This change does have some associated API
changes. Notably the SSL_state() function has been removed and
replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
"OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has
been removed altogether. The previous handshake states defined in
ssl.h and ssl3.h have also been removed.
Matt Caswell
* All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were
replaced with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #
define's) Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were
renamed.
Rich Salz
* The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
Rich Salz
* Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron,
gmp, sureware and ubsec.
Matt Caswell, Rich Salz
* New ASN.1 embed macro.
New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE
except the structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent.
That is instead of
FOO *x;
it must be:
FOO x;
This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to
accidentally set a mandatory field to NULL.
This currently only works for some fields specifically a
SEQUENCE, CHOICE, or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent
SEQUENCE. Since it is equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be
tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or SEQUENCE OF.
Steve Henson
* Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never
compiled.
Emilia Kasper
* Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2
although in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2
ciphersuite is also an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been
updated accordingly to add DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
Matt Caswell
* Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
Emilia Kasper
* Fix no-stdio build. David Woodhouse David.Woodhouse@intel.com and
also Ivan Nestlerode ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com
* New testing framework The testing framework has been largely
rewritten and is now using perl and the perl modules
Test::Harness and an extended variant of Test::More called
OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in test/ have been
rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to executables
in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
For documentation on our testing modules, do:
perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
Richard Levitte
* Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and
-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks
(usually checked on exit). Some undocumented "set malloc, etc.,
hooks" functions were removed and others were changed. All are
now documented.
Rich Salz
* In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
return an error
Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen ismo.puustinen@intel.com
* Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add
ciphersuites from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
original RSA_PSK patch.
Steve Henson
* Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag.
This SSLeay era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only
read). Also removed SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
Matt Caswell
* Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and
"x509" to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
Richard Levitte
* Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the
workaround hasn't been working properly for a while.
Emilia Kasper
* The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as
well as the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the
BIO structure has changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On
platforms where an unsigned long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these
counters could overflow if >4Gb is transferred.
Matt Caswell
* Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to
run OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that
maintaining the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very
invasive (and probably not well tested). Therefore the
OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
Matt Caswell
* Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two
ciphersuites were newly added (along with a number of other
static DH ciphersuites) to 1.0.2. However the two export ones
have never worked since they were introduced. It seems strange in
any case to be adding new export ciphersuites, and given "logjam"
it also does not seem correct to fix them.
Matt Caswell
* Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular
SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method
() have been deprecated, and turned into macros which simply call
the new preferred function names TLS_method(), TLS_client_method
() and TLS_server_method(). All new code should use the new names
instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h header file has
been removed.
Matt Caswell
* Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been
removed. This code and the associated standard is no longer
considered fit-for-purpose.
Matt Caswell
* RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change
might be noticeable when interacting with other software.
* Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
Added a test.
Rich Salz
* Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
Rich Salz
* Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
sha256
Rich Salz
* RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use
RAND_bytes instead.
Matt Caswell
* Added support for TLS extended master secret from
draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti
for an initial patch which was a great help during development.
Steve Henson
* All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public
header files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been
removed (since it is now redundant). Users should not attempt to
access internal structures directly. Instead they should use the
provided API functions.
Matt Caswell
* config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
is used. Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by
running config with "enable-deprecated". In addition applications
wishing to use deprecated functions must define
OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour will, by
default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default,
include bn.h)
Matt Caswell
* Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent
license compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB.
Details are available at https://www.openssl.org/source/
OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support for OCB can be removed by
calling config with no-ocb.
Matt Caswell
* SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a
SSLv2 compatible client hello.
Kurt Roeckx
* Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich
Salz], done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small
case.
Annie Yousar a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de
* CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
Rich Salz
* Removed old DES API.
Rich Salz
* Remove various unsupported platforms: Sony NEWS4 BEOS and BEOS_R5
NeXT SUNOS MPE/iX Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400 DGUX NCR Tandem Cray
16-bit platforms such as WIN16
Rich Salz
* Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
+ Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
+ Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
+ OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
+ OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into
OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
+ OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
+ Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER
OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR
OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT
OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK OPENSSL_NO_X509
OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
+ Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
Rich Salz
* Cleaned up dead code Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is
to be looked at.
Rich Salz
* Clean up calling of xxx_free routines. Just like free(), fix most
of the xxx_free routines to accept NULL. Remove the non-null
checks from callers. Save much code.
Rich Salz
* Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible). Add
BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc. Contributed by Akamai Technologies
under our Corporate CLA.
Rich Salz
* Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate
generator, bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by
any prime generator.
Felix Laurie von Massenbach felix@erbridge.co.uk
* New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This
allows exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog
format.
Martin Kaiser martin@kaiser.cx
* Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to
display compilation flags.
mancha mancha1@zoho.com
* Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a
failure in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback
on this issue.
mancha mancha1@zoho.com
* Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
mancha mancha1@zoho.com
* A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat
extension can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a
connected client or server.
Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug
and to Adam Langley agl@chromium.org and Bodo Moeller
bmoeller@acm.org for preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller
* Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack" by
Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from: http:
//eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this flaw
and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger
* Use algorithm specific chains in
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file(): this fixes a limitation in
previous versions of OpenSSL.
Steve Henson
* Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the
test server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should
have no effect.
WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Steve Henson
* Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems
with existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be
set in the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and
DES3 wrap algorithms and include tests cases.
Steve Henson
* Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
enveloped data.
Steve Henson
* Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify
digest, MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
Steve Henson
* Make openssl verify return errors.
Chris Palmer palmer@google.com and Ben Laurie
* New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between
two ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
Steve Henson
* Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options.
New test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check
expected failures.
Steve Henson
* Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
sign or verify all in one operation.
Steve Henson
* Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the
algorithm test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes
functionality to parse the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl
directly.
Steve Henson
* Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
Steve Henson
* Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233
curves.
Steve Henson
* Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New
function FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health
checking. Add generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced
health check interval to demonstrate periodic health checking.
Add "nodh" option to fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
Steve Henson
* New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported
ciphers based on NID.
Steve Henson
* More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure
modes. New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every
possible DRBG combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
Steve Henson
* Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
* Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm
test and POST to handle HMAC cases.
Steve Henson
* Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text
() to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module
number.
Steve Henson
* Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
Steve Henson
* Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes of
entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's
responsibility to ensure that the extra data discarded does not
impact the requested amount of entropy.
Steve Henson
* Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
Steve Henson
* CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except
we must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and
the message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm
test support.
Steve Henson
* Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the
status of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify
fips_test_suite to use callback. Always run all selftests even if
one fails.
Steve Henson
* XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest
program. Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32
to 64 bytes but there should be no binary compatibility issues as
existing applications will never use XTS mode.
Steve Henson
* Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all
dependencies to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS
RAND API which also performs algorithm blocking for unapproved
PRNG types. Also do not set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave
this to the application. Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets
up FIPS PRNG and seeds with the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set
additional data to a date time vector.
Steve Henson
* Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to
FIPS_x931*. This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems
because applications shouldn't be using these directly and any
that are will need to rethink anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now
deprecated by FIPS 140-2
Steve Henson
* Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90
DRBG. Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and
always instantiate at maximum supported strength.
Steve Henson
* Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only
testing.
Steve Henson
* New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only
testing.
Steve Henson
* New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad
with leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et
al.
Steve Henson
* Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not
used by anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely
untested at present.
Steve Henson
* Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary
object files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in
crypto/Makefile.
Steve Henson
* Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid conflicts
with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script util/fipsas.pl
to preprocess assembly language source files and rename any
affected symbols.
Steve Henson
* Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
Steve Henson
* Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
tiny fips sign and verify functions.
Steve Henson
* New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
Steve Henson
* New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds
fipscanister.o and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses
the file Makefile.fips instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
Steve Henson
* Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV
generator. Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
Steve Henson
* Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input
by setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default
12 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the
IV length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it
cannot be set before the key.
Steve Henson
* New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for
example) an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The
behaviour of do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the
return value is the number of characters written to the output
buffer (zero is no longer an error code) or a negative error
code. Also if the input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation
should be performed.
Steve Henson
* If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the
constructed path ignore it: new debug notification
X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
Steve Henson
* Improve forward-security support: add functions
void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(
SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(
SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called
whenever a new session is created, and gets to decide whether the
session may be cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not
(return 1). (As by the SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the
session_id sent by the server will be empty to indicate that the
session is not resumable; also, the server will not generate RFC
4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return
is_forward_secure. This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending
on the ciphersuite selected by the SSL/TLS server library,
indicating whether it can provide forward security.
Emilia Kasper emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be (Google)
* New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set
verification parameters by name.
Steve Henson
* Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY
CHANGE. Add CMAC pkey methods.
Steve Henson
* Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
renegotiated requesting a certificate.
Steve Henson
* Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to
s_server. This should help trace issues which normally are only
apparent in deployed multi-process servers.
Steve Henson
* Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases
where return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(),
RAND_seed(), BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were
changed so they can now return an error. The RAND changes
required a change to the RAND_METHOD structure.
Steve Henson
* New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use
of a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is
ignored. This is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several
functions in evp.h whose return value is often ignored.
Steve Henson
* New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for
s_client. These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be
requested and validated when establishing a connection.
Rob Percival robpercival@google.com
OpenSSL 1.0.2
Changes between 1.0.2s and 1.0.2t [10 Sep 2019]
* For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve
name is used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading
a encoded key or calling EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()/
EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters(). This prevents bypass of
security hardening and performance gains, especially for curves
with specialized EC_METHODs. By default, if a key encoded with
explicit parameters is loaded and later encoded, the output is
still encoded with explicit parameters, even if internally a
"named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
Nicola Tuveri
* Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP
construction. Before this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would
accept order and/or cofactor as NULL. After this change, only the
cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also does some minimal sanity
checks on the passed order. (CVE-2019-1547)
Billy Bob Brumley
* Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and
CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey. An attack is simple, if the first
CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the second CMS_recipientInfo is
chosen ciphertext. If the second recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1
v1.5 form plaintext, the correct encryption key will be replaced
by garbage, and the message cannot be decoded, but if the RSA
decryption fails, the correct encryption key is used and the
recipient will not notice the attack. As a work around for this
potential attack the length of the decrypted key must be equal to
the cipher default key length, in case the certifiate is not
given and all recipientInfo are tried out. The old behaviour can
be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT
flag. (CVE-2019-1563)

* Add FIPS support for Android Arm 64-bit
Support for Android Arm 64-bit was added to the OpenSSL FIPS
Object Module in Version 2.0.10. For some reason, the
corresponding target 'android64-aarch64' was missing OpenSSL
1.0.2, whence it could not be built with FIPS support on Android
Arm 64-bit. This omission has been fixed.

* 0-byte record padding oracle
If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then
calls SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once
to receive one) then OpenSSL can respond differently to the
calling application if a 0 byte record is received with invalid
padding compared to if a 0 byte record is received with an
invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently based on
that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this
amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data.
In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites
must be in use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised
implementations of certain commonly used ciphersuites. Also the
application must call SSL_shutdown() twice even if a protocol
error has occurred (applications should not do this but some do
anyway).
This issue was discovered by Juraj Somorovsky, Robert Merget and
Nimrod Aviram, with additional investigation by Steven Collison
and Andrew Hourselt. It was reported to OpenSSL on 10th December
2018. (CVE-2019-1559)

* Microarchitecture timing vulnerability in ECC scalar
multiplication
OpenSSL ECC scalar multiplication, used in e.g. ECDSA and ECDH,
has been shown to be vulnerable to a microarchitecture timing
side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to mount
local timing attacks during ECDSA signature generation could
recover the private key.

* Client DoS due to large DH parameter
During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based
ciphersuite a malicious server can send a very large prime value
to the client. This will cause the client to spend an
unreasonably long period of time generating a key for this prime
resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This could be
exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.

Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can

malicious input with excessive recursion. This could result in a
Denial Of Service attack. There are no such structures used
within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources so this is
considered safe.

Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
* Read/write after SSL object in error state
OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error
state" mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred
during a handshake then OpenSSL would move into the error state
and would immediately fail if you attempted to continue the
handshake. This works as designed for the explicit handshake
functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and SSL_connect()),
however due to a bug it does not work correctly if SSL_read() or
SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the
initial function call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently
called by the application for the same SSL object then it will
succeed and the data is passed without being decrypted/encrypted
directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to
be present that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write()
being issued after having already received a fatal error.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). (

Matt Caswell
* rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication
procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC
algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against
RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH1024 are
considered just feasible, because most of the work necessary to
deduce information about a private key may be performed offline.
The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the
server would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple
clients, which is no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX
extensions like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).

* bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery
squaring procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis
suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed
likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although
very difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce
information about a private key may be performed offline. The
amount of resources required for such an attack would be very
significant and likely only accessible to a limited number of
attackers. An attacker would additionally need online access to
an unpatched system using the target private key in a scenario
with persistent DH parameters and a private key that is shared
between multiple clients.
This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX
extensions like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD
Ryzen.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project. (

* BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery

an unpatched system using the target private key in a scenario
with persistent DH parameters and a private key that is shared
between multiple clients. For example this can occur by default
in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is
very similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate
problem.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project. (
CVE-2017-3732)
Andy Polyakov
* Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific
Montgomery multiplication procedure that handles input lengths
divisible by, but longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that
attacks against RSA, DSA and DH private keys are impossible. This
is because the subroutine in question is not used in operations
with the private key itself and an input of the attacker's direct
choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as transient
authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted
input. Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are
affected and one presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation.
Impact was not analyzed in detail, because pre-requisites for
attack are considered unlikely. Namely multiple clients have to
choose the curve in question and the server has to share the
private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was
not initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard
Morgan for providing reproducible case. (CVE-2016-7055)

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

* OOB write in MDC2_Update()
An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly
or through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an
attacker is able to supply very large amounts of input data after
a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then
a length check can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is
impractical on most platforms.

* Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is
vulnerable to a DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result
in an OOB read which will ultimately crash.
The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as
it requires a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.

* OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of
BN_div_word(). This can cause an OOB write if an application uses
this function with an overly large BIGNUM. This could be a
problem if an overly large certificate or CRL is printed out from
an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because record limits
will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.

* OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return
value is the total length the OID text representation would use
and not the amount of data written. This will result in OOB reads
when large OIDs are presented.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo

* Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the
following manner: "p + len > limit"
Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and limit ==
p + SIZE
"len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from
a TLS message).
The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only
well defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is
actually undefined behaviour.
For example this could cause problems if some malloc
implementation provides an address for "p" such that "p + len"
actually overflows for values of len that are too big and
therefore p + len < limit.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken (
CVE-2016-2177)

* Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant
time in order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the
OpenSSL DSA implementation means that a non-constant time
codepath is followed for certain operations. This has been
demonstrated through a cache-timing attack to be sufficient for
an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
This issue was reported by Cesar Pereida (Aalto University),
Billy Brumley (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom
(The University of Adelaide and NICTA). (CVE-2016-2178)
Cesar Pereida
* DTLS buffered message DoS
In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered
out-of-order those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to
process will be buffered for later use. Under certain
circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages do
not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has
been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages
to remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These
messages will be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The
default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore the
attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per
connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an attacker
could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo. (CVE-2016-2179)
Matt Caswell
* DTLS replay protection DoS
A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that
records that arrive for future epochs update the replay
protection "window" before the MAC for the record has been
validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by sending a
record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have
a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that
all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
service for a specific DTLS connection.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team. (
CVE-2016-2181)

* Certificate message OOB reads
In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks
can result in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated
buffer. There is a theoretical DoS risk but this has not been
observed in practice on common platforms.
The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate
request and server certificate. As a result the attack can only
be performed against a client or a server which enables client
authentication.

* Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt
traffic when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server
support AES-NI.
This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read
and compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no
longer checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC
and padding bytes.

* Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is
used for Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able
to supply very large amounts of input data then a length check
can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is
primarily used by the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These
are mainly used within the OpenSSL command line applications, so
any application which processes data from an untrusted source and
outputs it as a PEM file should be considered vulnerable to this
issue. User applications that call these APIs directly with large
amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
This issue was reported by Guido Vranken. (CVE-2016-2105)
Matt Caswell
* Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an
attacker is able to supply very large amounts of input data after
a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then
a length check can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
Following an analysis of all OpenSSL internal usage of the
EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two forms. The
first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and
therefore that specific call must be safe. The second form is
where the length passed to EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from
the code to be some small value and therefore there is no
possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are one of these
two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code
paths. Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate
(). All instances of these calls have also been analysed too and
it is believed there are no instances in internal usage where an
overflow could occur.

* Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as
d2i_CMS_bio() a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of
large amounts of memory potentially consuming excessive resources
or exhausting memory.
Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions
is affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are
not affected. Since the memory based functions are used by the
TLS library, TLS applications are not affected.

* Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak

are not configured with "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2.
Even if "enable-ssl2" is used, users who want to negotiate SSLv2
via the version-flexible SSLv23_method() will need to explicitly
call either of:
SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
or SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the
application explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method()
or its client and server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to
exhaustive search key recovery have been removed. Specifically,
the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no
longer available. (CVE-2016-0800)

* Fix a double-free in DSA code
A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed
DSA private keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory

* Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed
properly.
SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management
behaviour. In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak,
SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
seed, even if the seed is configured.
Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
that of a valid user. (CVE-2016-0798)
Emilia Kasper
* Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated
using an int value i. Later bn_expand is called with a value of i
* 4. For large values of i this can result in bn_expand not
allocating any memory because i * 4 is negative. This can leave
the internal BIGNUM data field as NULL leading to a subsequent
NULL ptr deref. For very large values of i, the calculation i * 4
could be a positive value smaller than i. In this case memory is
allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it is
insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue
exists in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if
BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn is ever called by user applications with very
large untrusted hex/dec data. This is anticipated to be a rare
occurrence.
All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is
not expected to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or
application command line arguments. If user developed
applications generate config file data based on untrusted data
then it is possible that this could also lead to security
consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken. (
CVE-2016-0797)
Matt Caswell
* Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
The internal fmtstr function used in processing a "%s" format
string in the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while
calculating the length of a string and cause an OOB read when
printing very long strings.
Additionally the internal doapr_outch function can attempt to
write to an OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL
pointer) in the event of a memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2
and below this could be caused where the size of a buffer to be
allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this could be in
processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can also
occur.
The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler
behaviour. These problems could enable attacks where large
amounts of untrusted data is passed to the BIO_*printf functions.
If applications use these functions in this way then they could
be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these functions when printing
out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore applications
that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also
be vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted
data is passed as command line arguments.
Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally
certificates etc received via remote connections via libssl are
also unlikely to be able to trigger these issues because of
message size limits enforced within libssl.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken. (CVE-2016-0799)

* Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank

"safe" primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was
provided for generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those
required for RFC 5114 support. The primes used in such files may
not be "safe". Where an application is using DH configured with
parameters based on primes that are not "safe" then an attacker
could use this fact to find a peer's private DH exponent. This
attack requires that the attacker complete multiple handshakes in
which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent
if it's reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH
ciphersuite.
OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH
(DHE) in TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set
then the server reuses the same private DH exponent for the life
of the server process and would be vulnerable to this attack. It
is believed that many popular applications do set this option and
would therefore not be at risk.
The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q"
parameter is available (as is the case in X9.42 based
parameters). This detects the only known attack, and is the only
possible defense for static DH ciphersuites. This could have some
performance impact.
Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on
by default and cannot be disabled. This could have some
performance impact.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe). (

* SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been
disabled on the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all
SSLv2 ciphers have been disabled, provided that the SSLv2
protocol was not also disabled via SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by
Nimrod Aviram and Sebastian Schinzel. (CVE-2015-3197)

* BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery
squaring procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis
suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed
likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although
very difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce
information about a private key may be performed offline. The
amount of resources required for such an attack would be very
significant and likely only accessible to a limited number of
attackers. An attacker would additionally need online access to
an unpatched system using the target private key in a scenario
with persistent DH parameters and a private key that is shared
between multiple clients. For example this can occur by default
in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Bock. (CVE-2015-3193)
Andy Polyakov
* Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL
pointer dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using
the RSA PSS algorithm and absent mask generation function
parameter. Since these routines are used to verify certificate
signature algorithms this can be used to crash any certificate
verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable
including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
authentication.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loic Jonas Etienne
(Qnective AG). (CVE-2015-3194)
Stephen Henson
* X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL
will leak memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS
routines so any application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from
untrusted sources is affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/
BoringSSL) using libFuzzer. (CVE-2015-3195)

* Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,

Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen ismo.puustinen@intel.com
Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
* Alternate chains certificate forgery
During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such
a chain fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can
mean that an attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted
certificates to be bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them
to use a valid leaf certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an
invalid certificate.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
(Google/BoringSSL).

now been restored.
Matt Caswell
Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
* Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an
infinite loop if the curve specified is over a specially
malformed binary polynomial field.
This can be used to perform denial of service against any system
which processes public keys, certificate requests or
certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
client authentication enabled.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton. (
CVE-2015-1788)
Andy Polyakov
* Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds
in the time string.
An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs
of various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault,
resulting in a DoS on applications that verify certificates or
CRLs. TLS clients that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and
servers with client authentication enabled may be affected if
they use custom verification callbacks.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google),
and independently by Hanno Bock. (CVE-2015-1789)
Emilia Kasper
* PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner
EncryptedContent correctly. An attacker can craft malformed
ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with missing content and trigger a
NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients
and servers are not affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google). (
CVE-2015-1790)
Emilia Kasper
* CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an
infinite loop if presented with an unknown hash function OID.
This can be used to perform denial of service against any system
which verifies signedData messages using the CMS code. This issue
was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer. (CVE-2015-1792)
Stephen Henson
* Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when
attempting to reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can
occur potentially leading to a double free of the ticket data. (
CVE-2015-1791)
Matt Caswell
* Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
curves, prefer P-256 (both).
Emilia Kasper
Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
* ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates
with an invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer
dereference will occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack
against the server.
This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
University. (CVE-2015-0291)
Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell
* Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance
improvement. This feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture
platforms that support AES NI instructions. A defect in the
implementation of "multiblock" can cause OpenSSL's internal write
buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when using non-blocking
IO. Typically, when the user application is using a socket BIO
for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a
segmentation fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential
DoS attack.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer
Mueller. (CVE-2015-0290)
Matt Caswell
* Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and
processes the initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common
for user code to loop over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a
valid ClientHello is received with an associated cookie. A defect
in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means that state is
preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next that
can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an
error could be that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to
connect to a DTLS1.2 only server.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson. (
CVE-2015-0207)
Matt Caswell
* Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an
attempt is made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since
ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check certificate signature algorithm
consistency this can be used to crash any certificate
verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable
including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
authentication. (CVE-2015-0286)
Stephen Henson
* Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL
pointer dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using
the RSA PSS algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these
routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this
can be used to crash any certificate verification operation and
exploited in a DoS attack. Any application which performs
certificate verification is vulnerable including OpenSSL clients
and servers which enable client authentication.
This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter. (
CVE-2015-0208)
Stephen Henson
* ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to
cause memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and
has been strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY
DEFINED BY components may be affected. Certificate parsing
(d2i_X509 and related functions) are however not affected.
OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected. (CVE-2015-0287)
Stephen Henson
* PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7
blobs with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference
on parsing.
Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data
or otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google). (
CVE-2015-0289)
Emilia Kasper
* DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort)
in servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher
suites by sending a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY
message.
This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia
Kasper (OpenSSL development team). (CVE-2015-0293)
Emilia Kasper
* Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event
of a DHE ciphersuite being selected and a zero length
ClientKeyExchange message being sent by the client. This could be
exploited in a DoS attack. (CVE-2015-1787)
Matt Caswell
* Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a
handshake with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
+ The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been
seeded automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
+ A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e.
not SSL_client_methodv23)
+ A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random
data from the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client
random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been
used will have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient
entropy and therefore the output may be predictable.
For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl
will succeed on an unpatched platform:
openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA (
CVE-2015-0285)
Matt Caswell
* Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey
function could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn,
could cause a double free in several private key parsing
functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could
lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications that
receive EC private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
considered rare.
This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in
their commit 517073cd4b. (CVE-2015-0209)
Matt Caswell
* X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer
dereference if the certificate key is invalid. This function is
rarely used in practice.
This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter. (CVE-2015-0288)
Stephen Henson
* Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
Kurt Roeckx
Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
* Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs,
e.g. ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single
one. So far those who have to target multiple platforms would
compromise and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still
execute on ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by
providing near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
Andy Polyakov
* Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
(other platforms pending).
Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov
* Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate
and OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
Rob Stradling
* Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
Bodo Moeller
* Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
Andy Polyakov
* Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
Marcelo Cerri (IBM)
* Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)
* Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
Andy Polyakov
* Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
Andy Polyakov, David Miller
* Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
RSAZ.
Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)
* Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
for TLS encrypt.
This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
Andy Polyakov
* Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_
method() supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever
version the peer supports and DTLSv1_2_method() which supports
DTLS 1.2 only.
Steve Henson
* Use algorithm specific chains in
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file(): this fixes a limitation in
previous versions of OpenSSL.
Steve Henson
* Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify
digest, MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
Steve Henson
* Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems
with existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be
set in the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and
DES3 wrap algorithms and include tests cases.
Steve Henson
* Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
structure.
Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson
* New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME
structures.
Steve Henson
* Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of
characters received by client and send back to server. Also
prints an abbreviated summary of the connection parameters.
Steve Henson
* New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief
summary of connection parameters.
Steve Henson
* Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
Trevor Perrin trevp@trevp.net and Ben Laurie
* New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download
CRLs from CRLDP extension in certificates.
Steve Henson
* New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
Steve Henson
* New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the
difference of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
Steve Henson
* New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
Steve Henson
* Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
certificates.
Steve Henson
* Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general
purpose HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be
used to download CRLs using the OCSP API.
Steve Henson
* Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF
APIs.
Steve Henson
* SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for
application configuration using configuration files or command
lines.
Steve Henson
* SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time
option "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server
to enable tracing.
Steve Henson
* New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions. Print
out extension in s_server and s_client.
Steve Henson
* New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature OID
NID.
Steve Henson
* Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent
by a client to OpenSSL.
Steve Henson
* New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the
requirements of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite
B algorithms and only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can
be set by using the strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or
"SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
Steve Henson
* New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security.
Check algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in
X509_verify_cert.
Steve Henson
* Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks
passed by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle
client certificates: checks for matching certificate type and
issuer name comparison.
Steve Henson
* If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the
peer preference list abort the handshake. If client has no
suitable signature algorithms in response to a certificate
request do not use the certificate.
Steve Henson
* If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort
handshake.
Steve Henson
* Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes
it possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one
store in the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for
certificate chain verification and chain building. New ctrl
SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN to build and store a certificate chain
in CERT structure: returning an error if the chain cannot be
built: this will allow applications to test if a chain is
correctly configured.
Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent
SSL_CTX store is used to retain compatibility with existing
behaviour.
Steve Henson
* New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite
disabled mask based on the current session, check mask when
sending client hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
Steve Henson
* New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
request message. Print out received values in s_client. If
certificate types is not set with custom values set sensible
values based on supported signature algorithms.
Steve Henson
* Support for distinct client and server supported signature
algorithms.
Steve Henson
* Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a
certificate is required by client or server. An application can
decide which certificate chain to present based on arbitrary
criteria: for example supported signature algorithms. Add very
simple example to s_server. This fixes many of the problems and
restrictions of the existing client certificate callback: for
example you can now clear an existing certificate and specify the
whole chain.
Steve Henson
* Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which
determines what the certificate can be used for (if anything).
Set valid_flags field in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify
ssl_set_cert_masks which used to have similar checks in it.
Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a
"strict mode". This enforces some TLS certificate requirements
(such as only permitting certificate signature algorithms
contained in the supported algorithms extension) which some
implementations ignore: this option should be used with caution
as it could cause interoperability issues.
Steve Henson
* Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work
out shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer
algorithms and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort
handshake if no shared signature algorithms.
Steve Henson
* Add new functions to allow customised supported signature
algorithms for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to
s_client and s_server to support them.
Steve Henson
* New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to
certificates from an SSL structure. Before this once a
certificate had been added it couldn't be removed.
Steve Henson
* Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with
certificate verification. New verify options supporting checking
in openssl utility.
Steve Henson
* Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email
checking functions. Add manual page.
Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)
* New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks
against a certificate.
Steve Henson
* Fix OCSP checking.
Rob Stradling rob.stradling@comodo.com and Ben Laurie
* Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The
first setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option
to the x509 utility) or reject.
Steve Henson
* Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in
the trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
Steve Henson
* MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS
ASE, platform support for Linux and Android.
Andy Polyakov
* Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
Andy Polyakov
* Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable
OpenSSL. When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used
as normal, when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions
are used instead. This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't
forced to use the (often lower performance) FIPS implementations
outside FIPS mode.
Steve Henson
* Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can
handle the new parameter format automatically.
Steve Henson
* Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format:
mainly to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
Steve Henson
* Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
Steve Henson
* Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If
enabled the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used
instead of hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to
call: SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will
automatically support ECDH and use the most appropriate
parameters.
Steve Henson
* Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code.
Use static structures instead of allocation if default values are
used. New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve
shared curves. Print out shared curves in s_server. New options
to s_server and s_client to set list of supported curves.
Steve Henson
* New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl
utility to print out received values.
Steve Henson
* Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which
convert between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as
"P-256". Enhance ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the
NIST names for curves.
Steve Henson
* Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent
SSL_CTX.
Steve Henson
* Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where
both server and client use DH certificates with common
parameters.
Steve Henson
* Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
certificates.
Steve Henson
* New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
the certificate. Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros
X509_get_cert_info, X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer,
X509_CINF_get_extensions and X509_CINF_get_signature were
reverted post internal team review.
OpenSSL 1.0.1
Changes between 1.0.1t and 1.0.1u [22 Sep 2016]
* OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status
Request extension. If that client continually requests
renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status Request extension each
time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the server.
This will eventually lead to a Denial Of Service attack through
memory exhaustion. Servers with a default configuration are
vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using the
"no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo
360 Inc.) (CVE-2016-6304)
Matt Caswell
* In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were
moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.

Rich Salz
* OOB write in MDC2_Update()
An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly
or through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an
attacker is able to supply very large amounts of input data after
a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then
a length check can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is
impractical on most platforms.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo
360 Inc.) (CVE-2016-6303)
Stephen Henson
* Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is
vulnerable to a DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result
in an OOB read which will ultimately crash.
The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as
it requires a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo
360 Inc.) (CVE-2016-6302)
Stephen Henson
* OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of
BN_div_word(). This can cause an OOB write if an application uses
this function with an overly large BIGNUM. This could be a
problem if an overly large certificate or CRL is printed out from
an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because record limits
will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo
360 Inc.) (CVE-2016-2182)
Stephen Henson
* OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return
value is the total length the OID text representation would use
and not the amount of data written. This will result in OOB reads
when large OIDs are presented.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo
360 Inc.) (CVE-2016-2180)
Stephen Henson
* Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the
following manner: "p + len > limit"
Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and limit ==
p + SIZE
"len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from
a TLS message).
The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only
well defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is
actually undefined behaviour.
For example this could cause problems if some malloc
implementation provides an address for "p" such that "p + len"

therefore p + len < limit.

* Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant
time in order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the
OpenSSL DSA implementation means that a non-constant time
codepath is followed for certain operations. This has been
demonstrated through a cache-timing attack to be sufficient for
an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
This issue was reported by Cesar Pereida (Aalto University),
Billy Brumley (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom
(The University of Adelaide and NICTA). (CVE-2016-2178)

* DTLS buffered message DoS
In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered
out-of-order those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to
process will be buffered for later use. Under certain
circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages do
not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has
been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages
to remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These
messages will be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The
default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore the
attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per
connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an attacker
could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo. (CVE-2016-2179)
Matt Caswell
* DTLS replay protection DoS
A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that
records that arrive for future epochs update the replay
protection "window" before the MAC for the record has been
validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by sending a
record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have
a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that
all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
service for a specific DTLS connection.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team. (
CVE-2016-2181)

* Certificate message OOB reads
In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks
can result in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated
buffer. There is a theoretical DoS risk but this has not been
observed in practice on common platforms.
The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate
request and server certificate. As a result the attack can only
be performed against a client or a server which enables client
authentication.

* Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt
traffic when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server
support AES-NI.
This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read
and compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no
longer checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC
and padding bytes.
This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker. (

* Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is
used for Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able
to supply very large amounts of input data then a length check
can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly
used by the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly
used within the OpenSSL command line applications, so any
application which processes data from an untrusted source and
outputs it as a PEM file should be considered vulnerable to this
issue. User applications that call these APIs directly with large
amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
This issue was reported by Guido Vranken. (CVE-2016-2105)
Matt Caswell
* Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an
attacker is able to supply very large amounts of input data after
a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then
a length check can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
Following an analysis of all OpenSSL internal usage of the
EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two forms. The
first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and
therefore that specific call must be safe. The second form is
where the length passed to EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from
the code to be some small value and therefore there is no
possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are one of these
two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code
paths. Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate
(). All instances of these calls have also been analysed too and
it is believed there are no instances in internal usage where an
overflow could occur.
This issue was reported by Guido Vranken. (CVE-2016-2106)

* Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as
d2i_CMS_bio() a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of
large amounts of memory potentially consuming excessive resources
or exhausting memory.
Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions
is affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are
not affected. Since the memory based functions are used by the
TLS library, TLS applications are not affected.
This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter. (CVE-2016-2109)
Stephen Henson
* EBCDIC overread
ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in

* Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of
OpenSSL. Builds that are not configured with
"enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW"
strength ciphers.
Viktor Dukhovni
* Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak
ciphers. SSLv2 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that
are not configured with "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2.
Even if "enable-ssl2" is used, users who want to negotiate SSLv2
via the version-flexible SSLv23_method() will need to explicitly
call either of:
SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
or SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the
application explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method()
or its client and server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to
exhaustive search key recovery have been removed. Specifically,
the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no
longer available. (CVE-2016-0800)
Viktor Dukhovni
* Fix a double-free in DSA code
A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed
DSA private keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory
corruption for applications that receive DSA private keys from
untrusted sources. This scenario is considered rare.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/
BoringSSL) using libFuzzer. (CVE-2016-0705)
Stephen Henson
* Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed
properly.
SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management
behaviour. In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak,
SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
seed, even if the seed is configured.
Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
that of a valid user. (CVE-2016-0798)
Emilia Kasper
* Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated
using an int value i. Later bn_expand is called with a value of i
* 4. For large values of i this can result in bn_expand not
allocating any memory because i * 4 is negative. This can leave
the internal BIGNUM data field as NULL leading to a subsequent
NULL ptr deref. For very large values of i, the calculation i * 4
could be a positive value smaller than i. In this case memory is
allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it is
insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue
exists in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if
BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn is ever called by user applications with very
large untrusted hex/dec data. This is anticipated to be a rare
occurrence.
All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is
not expected to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or
application command line arguments. If user developed
applications generate config file data based on untrusted data
then it is possible that this could also lead to security
consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken. (
CVE-2016-0797)
Matt Caswell
* Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
The internal fmtstr function used in processing a "%s" format
string in the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while
calculating the length of a string and cause an OOB read when
printing very long strings.
Additionally the internal doapr_outch function can attempt to
write to an OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL
pointer) in the event of a memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2
and below this could be caused where the size of a buffer to be
allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this could be in
processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can also
occur.
The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler
behaviour. These problems could enable attacks where large
amounts of untrusted data is passed to the BIO_*printf functions.
If applications use these functions in this way then they could
be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these functions when printing
out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore applications
that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also
be vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted
data is passed as command line arguments.
Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally
certificates etc received via remote connections via libssl are
also unlikely to be able to trigger these issues because of
message size limits enforced within libssl.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken. (CVE-2016-0799)

* Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank
conflicts on the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could
lead to the recovery of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this
issue is limited as it relies on an attacker who has control of
code in a thread running on the same hyper-threaded core as the
victim thread which is performing decryptions.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University
of Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv

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

* Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an
infinite loop if the curve specified is over a specially
malformed binary polynomial field.
This can be used to perform denial of service against any system

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

* ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to
cause memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and

* Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion
of a certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking
the signature. Although no details of the signed portion of the
certificate can be changed this can cause problems with some
applications: e.g. those using the certificate fingerprint for
blacklists.
1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused
bits reject the signature. All current signature algorithms
require zero unused bits.
2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
errors for some broken certificates.
Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original
received signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.

* SRTP Memory Leak.
A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an
attacker, who sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to
cause OpenSSL to fail to free up to 64k of memory causing a
memory leak. This could be exploited in a Denial Of Service
attack. This issue affects OpenSSL 1.0.1 server implementations
for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of whether SRTP is used or
configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that have been compiled

* An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory
whilst processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited
through a Denial of Service attack. Thanks to Adam Langley for
discovering and researching this issue. (CVE-2014-3506)
Adam Langley
* An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to
crash whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed
twice. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and
researching this issue. (CVE-2014-3505)

* If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a
resumed session and the server sends an ec point format extension
it could write up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and
researching this issue. (CVE-2014-3509)

* A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null
pointer dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even
though it was not properly negotiated with the client. This can
be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamaki (Codenomicon) for

Steve Henson
* A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some
information from the stack. Applications may be affected if they
echo pretty printing output to the attacker.

* Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
Bodo Moeller
Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
* Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
SSL/TLS clients and servers.
Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson
* Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to
an OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually
crashing in a DoS attack.
Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
(CVE-2014-0221)
Imre Rad, Steve Henson
* Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack
can be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL
DTLS client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run
arbitrary code on a vulnerable client or server.

* TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
is at least 512 bytes long.
Adam Langley, Steve Henson
Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
* Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues. (
CVE-2013-4353)
* Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in
retransmission structures so we can use the previous session
parameters if they need to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
Steve Henson
* Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL)
which avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client
appears to be Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3
advertises support for several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to
negotiate them. The bug is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have
ruled out both hot fixing 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to
upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
Rob Stradling, Adam Langley
Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
* Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson
Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
* Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant
time.
This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be
found at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the
Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of
London (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam
Langley and Emilia Kasper for the initial patch. (CVE-2013-0169)
Emilia Kasper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve
Henson
* Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC
mode ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service
attack. Thanks go to and to Adam Langley agl@chromium.org for
discovering and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger

This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
Steve Henson
* Make openssl verify return errors.
Chris Palmer palmer@google.com and Ben Laurie
* Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()

Steve Henson
Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
* Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using
Fuzz-o-Matic fuzzing as a service testing platform. (
CVE-2012-2333)
Steve Henson
* Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages. Thanks
to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
Steve Henson
* In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
approved.
Steve Henson
Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
* OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1
and 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would
unfortunately mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0
headers setting SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1,
unintentionally disabling TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the
value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x10000000L Any application which
was previously compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers
and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 will need to be
recompiled as a result. Letting be results in inability to
disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context, in unlike
event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
Steve Henson
* In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X if there are
protocols below X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1
and above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has
to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This
applies to client side.
Andy Polyakov
Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
* Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink
buffer in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering
this issue and to Adam Langley agl@chromium.org for fixing it. (
CVE-2012-2110)
Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team
* Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1
connections.
Adam Langley
* Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should
be set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
-DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
Most broken servers should now work.
3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will
disable TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
Steve Henson
* Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
Andy Polyakov
Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
* Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1
OCTET STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
Steve Henson
* The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between
EVP and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more
apparent when OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA
signatures in particular those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD
in 1.0.0 and later. Detect the correct format in RSA_verify so
both forms transparently work.
Steve Henson
* Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially
indicate support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0
in the RSA encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the
maximum permitted client version in client hello, this should
keep such servers happy and still work with previous versions of
OpenSSL.
Steve Henson
* Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
Robin Seggelmann seggelmann@fh-muenster.de
* Add support for SCTP.
Robin Seggelmann seggelmann@fh-muenster.de
* Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
Paul Green Paul.Green@stratus.com
* Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
+ x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
+ x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
+ x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
+ ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
+ s390x: z196 support;
+ *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
Andy Polyakov
* Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup (removal
of unnecessary code)
Peter Sylvester peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr
* Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
Eric Rescorla
* Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
Eric Rescorla
* Add Next Protocol Negotiation, http://tools.ietf.org/html/
draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be disabled with a no-npn flag
to config or Configure. Code donated by Google.
Adam Langley agl@google.com and Ben Laurie
* Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves
NIST-P224, NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point
multiplication on typical inputs. Compiler support for the
nonstandard type __uint128_t is required to use this (present in
gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds). Code made available under
Apache License version 2.0.
Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config)
command line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run
"make depend" (or "make update"). This enables the following
EC_METHODs:
EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
implementations).
Emilia Kasper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)
* Use type ossl_ssize_t instead of ssize_t which isn't available on
all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
Steve Henson
* New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
particular PSS.
Steve Henson
* Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
Steve Henson
* Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on the
appropriate parameters.
Steve Henson
* Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation
function to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD
since the ASN1 handling will be the same no matter what
EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used. Add a PSS handler to support
verification of PSS signatures: checked against a number of
sample certificates.
Steve Henson
* Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser lists@kaiser.cx
* Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1
method can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex
dump.
More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
parameters r, s.
Steve Henson
* Password based recipient info support for CMS library:
implementing RFC3211.
Steve Henson
* Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions.
This neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and
is required for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate
pieces (such as password based CMS).
Steve Henson
* Session-handling fixes:
+ Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session
ID, but also support Session Tickets.
+ Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the
client presented a ticket with an expired session.
+ Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
+ Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
+ On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)
* Fix PSK session representation.
Bodo Moeller
* Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
This work was sponsored by Intel.
Andy Polyakov
* Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to
split the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS
record) portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by
RFC5288 and RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to
include GCM and add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
Steve Henson
* Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on
encrypt.
Steve Henson
* Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF
support. As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used
if for versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
Steve Henson
* For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key
method as unset and return the appropriate default but do not set
the default. This means we can return the appropriate method in
applications that switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
Steve Henson
* Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If
an ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module
so we keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
Steve Henson
* Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
Peter Eckersley pde@eff.org, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson
* Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
Steve Henson
* Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
Also use FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
Steve Henson
* New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
Steve Henson
* Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev;
not all cases can be covered as some introduce binary
incompatibilities.
Steve Henson
* Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen, encrypt,
decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
Steve Henson
* Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
Steve Henson
* Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that really
want to use them can use the private_* version instead.
Steve Henson
* Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
Steve Henson
* Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
Steve Henson
* Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in
fipscanister.o for static and shared library builds embedding a
signature if needed.
Steve Henson
* Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of
numerical order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest
order curves first. This should be configurable so applications
can judge speed vs strength.
Steve Henson
* Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
Steve Henson
* Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS
ciphers and enable MD5.
Steve Henson
* Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the
underlying FIPS modules versions.
Steve Henson
* Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep
cache of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash
algorithm to use until after the certificate request message is
received.
Steve Henson
* Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature
algorithms extension including all the algorithms we support.
Parse new signature format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC
signing restrictions for TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
Steve Henson
* Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension.
Switch to new signature format when needed using client digest
preference. All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in
TLS v1.2. No client support yet and no support for client
certificates.
Steve Henson
* Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code,
switch to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new
SHA256 based ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange
ciphersuites work with TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2
replacing the old and obsolete SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with
SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods and version checking.
Steve Henson
* New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be
compiled with this defined it will not be affected by any changes
to ssl internal structures. Add several utility functions to
allow openssl application to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN
defined.
Steve Henson
* A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated. Christophe Renou
christophe.renou@edelweb.fr, Peter Sylvester
peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr, Tom Wu tjw@cs.stanford.edu, and Ben
Laurie
* Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
Steve Henson
* Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the
function SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
Robin Seggelmann seggelmann@fh-muenster.de
* Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
Steve Henson
* Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
Robin Seggelmann seggelmann@fh-muenster.de, Steve Henson
* Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS
v1.0 only a few changes are required:
Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag. Add TLSv1_1 methods. Update version
checking logic to handle version 1.1. Add explicit IV handling
(ported from DTLS code). Add command line options to s_client/
s_server.

OpenSSL 1.0.0
Changes between 1.0.0s and 1.0.0t [3 Dec 2015]
* X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL
will leak memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS
routines so any application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from
untrusted sources is affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/
BoringSSL) using libFuzzer. (CVE-2015-3195)
Stephen Henson
* Race condition handling PSK identify hint
If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client
then the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX
structure. This can result in a race condition potentially
leading to a double free of the identify hint data. (
CVE-2015-3196)
Stephen Henson
Changes between 1.0.0r and 1.0.0s [11 Jun 2015]
* Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an
infinite loop if the curve specified is over a specially
malformed binary polynomial field.
This can be used to perform denial of service against any system
which processes public keys, certificate requests or
certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
client authentication enabled.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton. (
CVE-2015-1788)
Andy Polyakov
* Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds
in the time string.
An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs
of various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault,
resulting in a DoS on applications that verify certificates or
CRLs. TLS clients that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and
servers with client authentication enabled may be affected if
they use custom verification callbacks.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google),
and independently by Hanno Bock. (CVE-2015-1789)
Emilia Kasper
* PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner
EncryptedContent correctly. An attacker can craft malformed
ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with missing content and trigger a
NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients
and servers are not affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google). (
CVE-2015-1790)
Emilia Kasper
* CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an
infinite loop if presented with an unknown hash function OID.
This can be used to perform denial of service against any system
which verifies signedData messages using the CMS code. This issue
was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer. (CVE-2015-1792)
Stephen Henson
* Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when
attempting to reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can
occur potentially leading to a double free of the ticket data. (
CVE-2015-1791)
Matt Caswell
Changes between 1.0.0q and 1.0.0r [19 Mar 2015]
* Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an
attempt is made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since
ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check certificate signature algorithm
consistency this can be used to crash any certificate
verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable
including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
authentication. (CVE-2015-0286)
Stephen Henson
* ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to
cause memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and
has been strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY
DEFINED BY components may be affected. Certificate parsing
(d2i_X509 and related functions) are however not affected.
OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected. (CVE-2015-0287)
Stephen Henson
* PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7
blobs with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference
on parsing.
Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data
or otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google). (
CVE-2015-0289)
Emilia Kasper
* DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort)
in servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher
suites by sending a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY
message.
This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia
Kasper (OpenSSL development team). (CVE-2015-0293)
Emilia Kasper
* Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey
function could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn,
could cause a double free in several private key parsing
functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could
lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications that
receive EC private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
considered rare.
This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in
their commit 517073cd4b. (CVE-2015-0209)
Matt Caswell
* X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer
dereference if the certificate key is invalid. This function is
rarely used in practice.
This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter. (CVE-2015-0288)

Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte
Changes between 1.0.0o and 1.0.0p [8 Jan 2015]
* Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully
crafted DTLS message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL
due to a NULL pointer dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of
Service attack. Thanks to Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc.
for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-3571)
Steve Henson
* Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can
occur in the dtls1_buffer_record function under certain
conditions. In particular this could occur if an attacker sent
repeated DTLS records with the same sequence number but for the
next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited by an attacker in
a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion. Thanks to
Chris Mueller for reporting this issue. (CVE-2015-0206)

* Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When
openssl is built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello
is received the ssl method would be set to NULL which could later
result in a NULL pointer dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler
for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-3569)
Kurt Roeckx
* Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for
ephemeral ECDH ciphersuites.
Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-3572)
Steve Henson
* Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This
code violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary
RSA keys in non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server
to effectively downgrade the RSA key length used to a value
smaller than the server certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan
Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting this issue.
(CVE-2015-0204)
Steve Henson
* Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without
verification. An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for
client authentication without the certificate verify message.
This effectively allows a client to authenticate without the use
of a private key. This only affects servers which trust a client
certificate authority which issues certificates containing DH
keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or
reporting this issue. (CVE-2015-0205)
Steve Henson
* Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce
incorrect results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug
occurs at random with a very low probability, and is not known to
be exploitable in any way, though its exact impact is difficult
to determine. Thanks to Pieter Wuille (Blockstream) who reported
this issue and also suggested an initial fix. Further analysis
was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and Adam Langley of
Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of the
OpenSSL core team. (CVE-2014-3570)
Andy Polyakov
* Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion
of a certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking
the signature. Although no details of the signed portion of the
certificate can be changed this can cause problems with some
applications: e.g. those using the certificate fingerprint for
blacklists.
1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused
bits reject the signature. All current signature algorithms
require zero unused bits.
2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
errors for some broken certificates.
Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original
received signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
(thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the
Codenomicon CROSS program for discovering this case) and use of
BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs (negative or with leading zeroes).
Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by
Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL core team.

Steve Henson
Changes between 1.0.0n and 1.0.0o [15 Oct 2014]
* Session Ticket Memory Leak.
When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a
session ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free
memory causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of
invalid session tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a
Denial Of Service attack. (CVE-2014-3567)
Steve Henson
* Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option,
servers could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and
clients could be configured to send them. (CVE-2014-3568)
Akamai and the OpenSSL team
* Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV. Client applications doing
fallback retries should call SSL_set_mode(s,
SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV). (CVE-2014-3566)
Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller
* Add additional DigestInfo checks.
Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
DigestInfo structures.
Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are
currently known.
Steve Henson
Changes between 1.0.0m and 1.0.0n [6 Aug 2014]
* OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are
subject to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can
crash the client with a null pointer dereference (read) by
specifying an anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuite and sending carefully
crafted handshake messages.
Thanks to Felix Grobert (Google) for discovering and researching
this issue. (CVE-2014-3510)
Emilia Kasper
* By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause
openssl to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of
Service attack. Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and
researching this issue. (CVE-2014-3507)
Adam Langley
* An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory
whilst processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited
through a Denial of Service attack. Thanks to Adam Langley for
discovering and researching this issue. (CVE-2014-3506)
Adam Langley
* An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to
crash whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed
twice. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and
researching this issue. (CVE-2014-3505)
Adam Langley
* If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a
resumed session and the server sends an ec point format extension
it could write up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and
researching this issue. (CVE-2014-3509)
Gabor Tyukasz
* A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some
information from the stack. Applications may be affected if they
echo pretty printing output to the attacker.
Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue. (
CVE-2014-3508)
Emilia Kasper, and Steve Henson
* Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
Bodo Moeller
Changes between 1.0.0l and 1.0.0m [5 Jun 2014]
* Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
SSL/TLS clients and servers.
Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson
* Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to
an OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually
crashing in a DoS attack.
Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
(CVE-2014-0221)
Imre Rad, Steve Henson
* Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack
can be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL
DTLS client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run
arbitrary code on a vulnerable client or server.
Thanks to Juri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
Juri Aedla, Steve Henson
* Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH
ciphersuites are subject to a denial of service attack.
Thanks to Felix Grobert and Ivan Fratric at Google for
discovering this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
Felix Grobert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson
* Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to
display compilation flags.
mancha mancha1@zoho.com

failure in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
mancha mancha1@zoho.com
* Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
mancha mancha1@zoho.com
* Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack" by
Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from: http:

Changes between 1.0.0k and 1.0.0l [6 Jan 2014]
* Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in
retransmission structures so we can use the previous session
parameters if they need to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
Steve Henson
* Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL)
which avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client
appears to be Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3
advertises support for several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to
negotiate them. The bug is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have
ruled out both hot fixing 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to
upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
Rob Stradling, Adam Langley
Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
* Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant
time.
This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be
found at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the
Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of
London (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam
Langley and Emilia Kasper for the initial patch. (CVE-2013-0169)
Emilia Kasper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve
Henson
* Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
Steve Henson
* Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
so it returns the certificate actually sent. See http://
rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836. (This is a backport)
Rob Stradling rob.stradling@comodo.com
* Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.

* Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS to
fix DoS attack.

Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team
Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
* Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding)
weakness in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a
random key for content decryption and always return the same
error. Note: this attack needs on average 2^20 messages so it
only affects automated senders. The old behaviour can be
re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag:
this is useful for debugging and testing where an MMA defence is
not necessary. Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode inestlerode@us.ibm.com
for discovering this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)

Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
* Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against the
OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
differences arising during decryption processing. A research
paper describing this attack can be found at: http://

Adam Langley (Google)
* Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
Emilia Kasper (Google)
* Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
interpretations of the ..._len fields).
Adam Langley (Google)
* Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather
than BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring
that concurrent threads won't reuse the same blinding
coefficients.
This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
the last update always remained unused).

Bodo Moeller
* Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and
check signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities
instead. Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites
with SHA1 only.

CVE-2010-1633)
Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager hager@dortmund.net
Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
* Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a
cipher context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl
mechanism in case ENGINEs want to include additional
functionality.
Steve Henson
* Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value
negative.
Steve Henson
* Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509
utility to output hashes compatible with older versions of
OpenSSL.
Willy Weisz weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at
* Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of
determining it from client hello again. Don't allow server to
change algorithm.
Steve Henson
* Add load_crls() function to commands tidying load_certs() too.
Add option to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be
included.
Steve Henson
* Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the
request: some responders need this.
Steve Henson
* The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return
code correctly.
Julia Lawall julia@diku.dk
* Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
Steve Henson
* Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
Steve Henson
* In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was
NULL) to indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This
makes it possible to determine whether the BIO is the one
explicitly called or as a result of the ctrl being passed down
the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so it handles reference
counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio when it is not
being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which included
workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
or they could free up already freed BIOs.
Steve Henson
* Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was done
conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
Guenter lists@gknw.net
* Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
Michael Tuexen tuexen@fh-muenster.de
* Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack
can't be used on C++.
Steve Henson
* Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way
to retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure
directly. Update EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to
include the name a digest or cipher is registered as in the
"from" argument. Print out all registered digests in the dgst
usage message instead of manually attempting to work them out.
Steve Henson
* If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client
hello: this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change
default cipher string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This
effectively avoids ancient SSLv2 by default unless an application
cipher string requests it.
Steve Henson
* Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use
local key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some
PKCS#12 files don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and
this strategy fails. Now just gather all certificates together
and the first private key then look for the first certificate
that matches the key.
Steve Henson
* Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and
cipher commands instead of having to add each one as a special
case. So now you can do:
openssl sha256 foo
as well as:
openssl dgst -sha256 foo
and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
Steve Henson
* Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
Victor B. Wagner vitus@cryptocom.ru
* Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
Oliver Martin oliver@volatilevoid.net, Steve Henson
* Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The
new form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names
will work even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of
MD5. This form is incompatible with the older format and as a
result c_rehash should be used to rebuild symbolic links.
Steve Henson
* Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing
the traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure
and doesn't include an implicit MD5 dependency.
Steve Henson
* Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any
code committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
Steve Henson
* Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
Jouni Malinen j@w1.fi
* Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be
implemented in an ENGINE errors can occur.
Steve Henson
* Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
Ben Laurie
* Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
CONF_VALUE.
Ben Laurie
* New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of
days and seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going
through OS specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS
routines such as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for
ASN1 time structures and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended
range. The existing X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no
longer have any date issues.
Steve Henson
* Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to
locate and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL
processing code and add additional score elements. Validate
alternate CRL paths as part of the CRL checking and indicate a
new error "CRL path validation error" in this case. Applications
wanting additional details can use the verify callback and check
the new "parent" field. If this is not NULL CRL path validation
is taking place. Existing applications won't see this because it
requires extended CRL support which is off by default.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Support for freshest CRL extension.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the
CRLs passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate
issuer CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother
issuer name and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry
in IDP extension.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL
issuer certificate is validated separately in this case. Only
enabled if an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will
enable additional CRL functionality in future.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Add support for policy mappings extension.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email,
DNS and URI types are currently supported.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID
rather than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID
mechanism and replace it with a structure and associated callback
type. This mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from
a thread ID in either case, and on platforms where pointers are
larger than 'long', mixing is done to help ensure the numeric
'hash' is usable even if it can't be guaranteed unique. The
default mechanism is to use "&errno" as a pointer-based thread ID
to distinguish between threads.
Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now
use CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that
will call either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or
CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is
tied to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric.
ERR_remove_state(0) to free the current thread's error state
should be replaced by ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
(This new approach replaces the functions
CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(), CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and
CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between
June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an application was previously
providing a numeric thread callback that was inappropriate for
distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might have been obtained
with &errno that happened immediately in the intermediate
development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the case, the
numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use of &
errno.)
Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller
* Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This
covers a simple case where the self issued certificates in the
chain exist and the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing
chain.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
Ben Laurie
* Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA,
ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
Ben Laurie
* Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused
buffer RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per
idle SSL.
Nick Mathewson
* Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
Ben Laurie
* Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms
utility, support for data, signedData, compressedData,
digestedData and encryptedData, envelopedData types included.
Scripts to check against RFC4134 examples draft and interop and
consistency checks of many content types and variants.
Steve Henson
* Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression
BIO.
Steve Henson
* Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly
language files from Configure script, currently only included in
VC-WIN32. The assembly language rules can now optionally generate
the source files from the associated perl scripts.
Steve Henson
* Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST
ciphersuites. Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro
implementations.
Victor B. Wagner vitus@cryptocom.ru
* s390x assembler pack.
Andy Polyakov
* ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
"family."
Andy Polyakov
* Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
to use. For example, specify an option
-DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
be using the same extension number for other purposes.
SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
return non-zero for success.
To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
by using
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
where
int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
void *arg;
Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
be provided to the callback function). The callback function has
to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque PRF
input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
length of the client's opaque PRF input.
Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
Bodo Moeller
* Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for
handshake MAC.
Victor B. Wagner vitus@cryptocom.ru
* Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are
automatically supported.
If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION
structure support is transparent because tickets are now stored
in the encoded SSL_SESSION.
The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
protection in servers so again support should be possible with no
application modification.
If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the
option SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of
any client or server extensions to be examined.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
Peter Hartley pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk, Steve Henson
* Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic
MAC support including streaming MAC support: this is required for
GOST ciphersuite support.
Victor B. Wagner vitus@cryptocom.ru, Steve Henson
* Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
to output in BER and PEM format.
Steve Henson
* Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface.
The EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially
allowing ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable.
New -mac and -macopt options to dgst utility.
Steve Henson
* New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use EVP_Digest
{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
utility.
Steve Henson
* Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay in
order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
enabled again.
This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
functionality) such that between otherwise identical
ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
the default order.
Bodo Moeller
* Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically arranges
the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting to process
the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
(SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!
eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH". This makes it much easier to
arrive at a reasonable default order in applications for which
anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning that you can't actually use
DEFAULT).
Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni
* Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
"SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
"SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
(These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
kinds of kludges.
Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in
0.9.9.
With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
"CAMELLIA256".
Bodo Moeller
* Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256. Use the
leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is larger
than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
Nils Larsch
* Very very experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing
uses it yet and it is largely untested.
Steve Henson
* Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature
types.
Nils Larsch
* Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in
OpenSSL some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
Safestack is reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy
functions.
Steve Henson
* Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
Andy Polyakov
* Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be
redirected to external functions. This can be used to increase
CRL handling efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by
(for example) storing the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
Steve Henson
* Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs
so new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line
option -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes
real errors to be returned by the verify callback instead of
carrying on no matter what. This reflects the way a "real world"
verify callback would behave.
Steve Henson
* GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key
formats. Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
Cryptocom
* Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
CRLs partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason
partitioning (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the
most suitable CRL is selected via a scoring technique which
handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
Steve Henson
* New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs()
which will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this
will remove the X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification
and allow alternative lookup methods. X509_STORE based
implementations of these two callbacks.
Steve Henson
* Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching
issuer names. Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if
possible.
Steve Henson
* New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical.
Normally this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is
already used by a function that just compares CRL issuer names.
Cache several CRL extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache
CRLDP in X509.
Steve Henson
* Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1
Name) this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent
structure. Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using
memcmp().
Steve Henson
* Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
utility.
Steve Henson
* Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type
using the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
Steve Henson
* During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the
EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN ctrl. It can then customise the
structure before and/or after signing if necessary.
Steve Henson
* New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined
signature OIDs to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New
function OBJ_sigid_free() to free up any added signature OIDs.
Steve Henson
* New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
Steve Henson
* Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes the
array representation useful in a more general context.
Douglas Stebila
* Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
(not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH certificates,
use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH authentication,
not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is merely the CA's
signing algorithm and not actively used in the protocol).
The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
aECDH - ECDH cert
aECDSA - ECDSA cert
ECDSA - ECDSA cert
AECDH - anonymous ECDH
EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
Bodo Moeller
* Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if
supported. Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s)
in signed message.
Steve Henson
* Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to
process an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1
code.
Steve Henson
* Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to
permit an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for
methods and functional reference processing.
Steve Henson
* New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced
versions of EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to
customise the signature process.
Steve Henson
* New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more
signers to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md
option to use an alternative message digest algorithm for
signing.
Steve Henson
* Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier
to create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update
smime application to support multiple signers.
Steve Henson
* New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an
alternative digest MAC.
Steve Henson
* Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1
HMAC. Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table
using NIDs, add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a
EVP_CIPHER ctrl: EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to
specify an alternative PRF which will be automatically used with
PBES2.
Steve Henson
* Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req"
with the new API.
Steve Henson
* Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt
operation. A ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to
examine or modify the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs
to: for RSA this is a no op.
Steve Henson
* Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to
express a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be
SHA1 but some algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an
alternative digest. The return value indicates how strong the
preference is 1 means optional and 2 is mandatory (that is it is
the only supported type). Modify ASN1_item_sign() to accept a
NULL digest argument to indicate it should use the default md.
Update openssl utilities to use the default digest type for
signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
Steve Henson
* Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify().
New EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the
relevant signing method from the key type. This effectively
removes the link between digests and public key types.
Steve Henson
* Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its
purpose is to translate between signature OIDs such as
SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1, rsaEncryption. This will allow
some of the algorithm specific hackery needed to use the correct
OID to be removed.
Steve Henson
* Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting
PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set
up by the relevant public key ASN1 method.
Steve Henson
* Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
Steve Henson
* Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method
and pkeyutl.
Steve Henson
* Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to
support public and private key formats. As a side effect these
add additional command line functionality not previously
available: DSA signatures can be generated and verified using
pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in pkey, genpkey.
Steve Henson
* BeOS support.
Oliver Tappe zooey@hirschkaefer.de
* New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of
the manual pages.
Oliver Tappe zooey@hirschkaefer.de
* New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it
can generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update
EVP_PKEY_METHOD to support key and parameter generation and add
initial key generation functionality for RSA.
Steve Henson
* Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The
undocumented functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been
renamed to EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
Steve Henson
* Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high
level public key API, doesn't do much yet.
Steve Henson
* New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information
about public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
"list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
Steve Henson
* Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for ECC
ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
Douglas Stebila
* Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD
or EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup
().
Steve Henson
* New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm
specific utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they
process any key type.
Steve Henson
* Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD.
New functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
structure.
Steve Henson
* Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1. De-spaghettify the
public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private key ASN1
handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
algorithm specific handling to a single module within the
relevant algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near)
opaque processing of public and private key structures.
Steve Henson
* Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for ECC
ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
Douglas Stebila
* Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add
members for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback
functions to the SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
New ciphersuites: PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA,
PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
New functions: SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
SSL_get_psk_identity_hint SSL_get_psk_identity
SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation
* Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response
generation and response verification functionality.
Zoltan Glozik zglozik@opentsa.org, The OpenTSA Project
* Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the
server_name extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL
data structures now have new members for a host name. The SSL
data structure has an additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so
that new sessions can be stored in that context to allow for
session resumption, even after the SSL has been switched to a new
SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's server_name extension.
New functions (subject to change):
SSL_get_servername()
SSL_get_servername_type()
SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
- SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
- SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2
...', '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This
allows testing the HostName extension for a specific single host
name ('-cert' and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without
HostName negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be
sent, this by default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the
'-servername_fatal' option.
Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou
* Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
Andy Polyakov
* BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64)
to bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't
have any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in
order to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as
bn_mul_mont implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds
without hassle.
Andy Polyakov
* Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c to
ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
macro.
Bodo Moeller
* New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
"64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
Andy Polyakov
* New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression
selectively in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send
fragment size. Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes
dynamically instead of using the maximum available value.
Steve Henson
* New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite
code in addition to the text details.
Bodo Moeller
* Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of
general ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly
output and doesn't handle several customised structures at all.
Steve Henson
* Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats
such as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line
switches to support these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
Steve Henson
* Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command
line.
Steve Henson
* Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in
one place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which
are now handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
Steve Henson
* Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
Nils Larsch
* Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out
previously unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to
allow setting of all fields.
Steve Henson
* Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL
extension.
Steve Henson
* Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
NTT
OpenSSL 0.9.x
Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
* When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version
number, never update s->server with a new major version number.
As of
+ OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
+ OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits, the
previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record
payload protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley agl@chromium.org
* Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of
OpenSSL could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present
(e.g. chrooted).
Tomas Hoger thoger@redhat.com
Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
* Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (
CVE-2009-3245)
Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta
* Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
Bodo Moeller
* On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a
workaround include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
Steve Henson
* The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used
the BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This
caused the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there
however can trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g.
some versions of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush
unconditionally. This should be fine since flushing with no data
to flush is a no op.
Steve Henson
* Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some
way off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a
while...
Steve Henson
* Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using
the ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some
applications call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application
exit (e.g. when restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with
compression) later. This results in significant per-connection
memory leaks and has caused some security issues including
CVE-2008-1678 and CVE-2009-4355.
Steve Henson
* Constify crypto/cast (i.e., ): a CAST_KEY doesn't
change when encrypting or decrypting.
Bodo Moeller
* Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients
to connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by
default.
Steve Henson
* Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
Steve Henson
* If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond
with a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some
renegotiating TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully
when they receive the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled
this alert and would hang waiting for a server hello which it
will never receive. Now we treat a received no_renegotiation
alert as a fatal error. This is because applications requesting a
renegotiation might well expect it to succeed and would have no
code in place to handle the server denying it so the only safe
thing to do is to terminate the connection.
Steve Henson
* Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which
returns 1 if peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise.
Print out peer renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
Steve Henson
* Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification
method with the updated NID creation version. This should
correctly handle UTF8.
Steve Henson
* Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the
extension as needed. Unfortunately,
SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION turns out to be a
bad idea. It has been replaced by
SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
know what you are doing.
Eric Rescorla ekr@networkresonance.com, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson
* Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx
when issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has
changed during servername handling. Use a non-zero length session
ID when attempting stateless session resumption: this makes it
possible to determine if a resumption has occurred immediately
after receiving server hello (several places in OpenSSL subtly
assume this) instead of later in the handshake.
Steve Henson
* The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on
error fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
correctly.
Julia Lawall julia@diku.dk
* Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include
devteam warnings in other configurations.
Steve Henson
* Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles.
This makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations
which have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which
some systems need.
Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley
* Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation
of X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of
OIDs.
Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky
* Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation
in several standards that it is not used in new applications due
to several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility
reasons the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
Steve Henson
* Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly
saved and restored.
Steve Henson
* Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a
name clash.
Guenter lists@gknw.net
* Fix the server certificate chain building code to use
X509_verify_cert(), it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was
unable to cope with anything other than a simple chain.
David Woodhouse dwmw2@infradead.org, Steve Henson
* Don't check self signed certificate signatures in
X509_verify_cert() by default (a flag can override this): it just
wastes time without adding any security. As a useful side effect
self signed root CAs with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS
mode.
Steve Henson
* In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current
message is already buffered was missing. For every new message
was memory allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial
of service attack with sending out of seq handshake messages
until there is no memory left. Additionally every future message
was buffered, even if the sequence number made no sense and would
be part of another handshake. So only messages with sequence
numbers less than 10 in advance will be buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz
* Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to
perform a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs
until there is no memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size()
function to determine the size of a buffer and limits the record
buffer to 100 entries. (CVE-2009-1377)
Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz
* Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after
the parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
Daniel Mentz
* Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.

* Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
Ilya O. vrghost@gmail.com
Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
* Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
you're doing.
Ben Laurie
Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
* Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up
by underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can
result in zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
Paolo Ganci Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH
* Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was
not checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed
attributes to appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
Ivan Nestlerode inestlerode@us.ibm.com
* Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths.
This prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the
strings have a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
Steve Henson
* Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the
store level.
Steve Henson
* Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in
practice to handle some structures.
Steve Henson
* Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each
time for a '\n'
Jeremy Shapiro jnshapir@us.ibm.com
* New -hex option for openssl rand.
Matthieu Herrb
* Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
Steve Henson
* Support NumericString type for name components.
Steve Henson
* Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
chosen compiler.
Ben Laurie
Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
* Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values (
CVE-2008-5077).
Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team
* Enable TLS extensions by default.
Ben Laurie
* Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from
the obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
Sander Temme sander@temme.net
* Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger
* Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to
enable JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in
applications.
Bodo Moeller
* Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
s_client and s_server.
Ben Laurie
* Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
Rob Austein sra@hactrn.net
* Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
Philip Paeps philip@freebsd.org
* Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG
behavior to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites
in the server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the
option applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier
behavior was just about the algorithm choice for symmetric
cryptography.)
Bodo Moeller
Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
* Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
PR #1679
* Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c (was using
SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
Nagendra Modadugu
* The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been doubly
unsafe triple-checked locking.
So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro in
crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder
* Various precautionary measures:
+ Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
+ Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
(NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session
ticket key to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either
way.)
+ Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input
BIGNUMs outside the expected range.
+ Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for
non-BN_DEBUG builds.
Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller
* Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
the load fails. Useful for distros.
Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team
* Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
Steve Henson
* Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
Huang Ying
* Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate
functions.
This work was sponsored by Logica.
Steve Henson
* Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in
Windows keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
This work was sponsored by Logica.
Steve Henson
* Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS
#12 files.
Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
* Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
Steve Henson, Mark Cox
* Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891
)
Joe Orton
* Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo
* Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does
not have any policy with respect to including or excluding any
CA. Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary
selection of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
Lutz Jaenicke
* RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads. The
first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs
where the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a
one-byte invalid read after the end of 'db').
Ivan Nestlerode inestlerode@us.ibm.com
* Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise, e.g.
x86_64, try -DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD.)
Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)
* Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to
set TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on
hardcoded fixed values. This is useful for key rollover for
example where several key sets may exist with different names.
Steve Henson
* Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only
way a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
implementation.
Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)
* Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the
0.9.9 implementation in the following ways:
Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to
be hard coded.
Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing
is only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag
is ignored for embedded content.
CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
with the enable-cms configuration option.
Steve Henson
* Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still
used.
Paul Sheer paulsheer@gmail.com
* Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
uncompresses any data passed through it.
Steve Henson
* Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
Steve Henson
* Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0
(): sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR
(AlgorithmIdentifier) data. Attribute function
X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data from an X509_ATTRIBUTE
structure optionally checking it occurs only once. ASN1_TYPE_set1
(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied data.
Steve Henson
* Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
Bodo Moeller (Google)
* Netware support:
+ fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD
sockets
+ fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too
(CLIB_OPT)
+ added some more tests to do_tests.pl
+ fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC
NDKs too
+ removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime
dependency
+ added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock,
netware-clib-gcc, netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc,
netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
+ various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on
Win32 platform
+ changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions
(CLIB BSD)
+ various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
+ fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF
output
+ added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
+ added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
+ fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h
settings apply
Guenter Knauf eflash@gmx.net
* Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in
RFC3546. A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive
the encoded OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the
supplied parameters and set the encoded OCSP response in the
callback. Add simplified examples to s_client and s_server.
Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
* Fix various bugs:
+ Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
+ DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
+ Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
+ Fix ia64 assembler code
Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
* DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
Andy Polyakov
* Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some
compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Kurt Roeckx
kurt@roeckx.be, Peter Hartley pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk, Steve
Henson
* Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are
automatically supported.
If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION
structure support is transparent because tickets are now stored
in the encoded SSL_SESSION.
The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
protection in servers so again support should be possible with no
application modification.
If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the
option SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of
any client or server extensions to be examined.
This work was sponsored by Google.
Steve Henson
* Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the
server_name extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL
data structures now have new members for a host name. The SSL
data structure has an additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so
that new sessions can be stored in that context to allow for
session resumption, even after the SSL has been switched to a new
SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's server_name extension.
New functions (subject to change):
SSL_get_servername()
SSL_get_servername_type()
SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
- SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
- SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2
...', '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This
allows testing the HostName extension for a specific single host
name ('-cert' and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without
HostName negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be
sent, this by default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the
'-servername_fatal' option.
Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson
* Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
Steve Henson
* Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
Andy Polyakov
* Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
(which previously caused an internal error).
Bodo Moeller
* Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
Ben Laurie
* AES IGE mode speedup.
Dean Gaudet (Google)
* Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see http://
www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and add SEED
ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL is
configured with 'enable-seed'.
KISA, Bodo Moeller
* Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
information. For detailed background information, see http://
eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron, J.-P. Seifert,
"New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL and Necessary
Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change are new
versions BN_div_no_branch() and BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of
BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(), respectively, which are slower,
but avoid the security-relevant conditional branches. These are
automatically called by BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag
BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one of the input BIGNUMs. Also,
BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to remove a conditional branch.
BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
remains as a deprecated alias.
Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more
general RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation
now uses constant-time implementations for more than just
exponentiation. Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated
alias.
BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
modulus. This means that the previous BIGNUM *m argument to
BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
essentially becomes const BIGNUM *m, although we can't actually
change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)
* In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
external cache for different purposes). Previously,
out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
with applications using a single external cache for quite
different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
in a different context.
Bodo Moeller
* Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that a
ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
authentication-only ciphersuites.
Bodo Moeller
* Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow (
CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
* Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of ssl/
ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
(or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
Victor Duchovni
* Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
(within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case of
a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
Bodo Moeller
* Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
message has informed the client about his choice.)
Bodo Moeller
* Add RFC 3779 support.
Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie
* Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using
a static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and
reloaded. Improve header file function name parsing.
Steve Henson
* extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
Goetz Babin-Ebell
Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
* Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller
* Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
* Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function. (
CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security
Team]
* Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team
* Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got the
same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only have
a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap. That
change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
"RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
ciphersuite (same bitmap) from other protocol versions. Thus,
"RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite
and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the 128/
256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now. The
proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and AES256,
which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
(not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
multiple values to extend the available space.
Bodo Moeller
Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
* Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel
Bleichenbacher (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security
Team]
* Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
Ben Laurie
* Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
undesirable limitations.
Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller
* Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
to avoid potential handshake problems.
Bodo Moeller
* Disable rogue ciphersuites:
+ SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
+ SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
+ SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
The latter two were purportedly from
draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
appear there.
Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
Bodo Moeller
* Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
versions), which is now available for royalty-free use (see http:
//info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html). Also, add
Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
NTT
* Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The
padding bug check assumes the first packet is of even length,
this is not necessarily true if compression is enabled and can
result in false positives causing handshake failure. The actual
bug test is ancient code so it is hoped that implementations will
either have fixed it by now or any which still have the bug do
not support compression.
Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
* When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an
explicit cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it
is.
Steve Henson
* Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
Austin Ziegler halostatue@gmail.com
* Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without TLS
extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9 branch,
not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
Douglas Stebila
* New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to
support opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
Steve Henson
* Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
"zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on
Win32 to conform with the standards mentioned here: http://
www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt Static zlib linking now works on Windows
and the new --with-zlib-include --with-zlib-lib options to
Configure can be used to supply the location of the headers and
library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library can't be
loaded.
Steve Henson
* Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The
old code sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for
example), couldn't handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX,
truncated printing and had a non standard OBJ_obj2txt()
behaviour.
Steve Henson
* Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared
libraries under VC++ build system.
Steve Henson
* Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any
more.
Richard Levitte
Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
* Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING (part
of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the countermeasure
against man-in-the-middle protocol-version rollback in the SSL
2.0 server implementation, which is a bad idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced
Industrial Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)
* Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
Steve Henson
* Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
Nils Larsch
* Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie
* Add functions for well-known primes.
Nick Mathewson
* Extended Windows CE support.
Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov
* Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of
during runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
Steve Henson
* Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
smime utility.

* Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
Richard Levitte

private key into the same file any more.
Richard Levitte
* Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
Andy Polyakov
* Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
Stefan arg.

Geoff Thorpe
* Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
available to TLS with the number defined in
draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
Richard Levitte
* Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
-- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
well.
Richard Levitte
* Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
Richard Levitte
* Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function void BN_set_negative
(BIGNUM *a, int neg); and a macro that behave like int
BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
Nils Larsch
* Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes used
in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this if
applicable.
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de
* Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
Bodo Moeller
* Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
dynamically from specific directories unless they could be found
to already be built in or loaded. Move all the current engines
except for the cryptodev one to a new directory engines/. The
engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if the "shared"
options was given to ./Configure or ./config. Otherwise, they are
inserted in libcrypto.a. /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default
directory for dynamic engines, but that can be overridden at
configure time through the usual use of --prefix and/or
--openssldir, and at run time with the environment variable
OPENSSL_ENGINES.
Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte
* Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared libraries.
Adapt Makefile.org.
Richard Levitte
* Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
Peter 'Luna' Runestig" peter@runestig.com
* Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys can be
added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12 files while
avoiding the low level API.
New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and will
then be omitted from the output file. The encryption algorithm
NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac iteration count
can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts options
work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac to omit the
mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm. New code is
modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create() instead of the low
level API.
Steve Henson
* Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to be
useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming PKCS#7
code.
Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
down to the template encoder.
Steve Henson
* Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
Bodo Moeller
* Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from
draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt. As these are not official, they are
not included in "ALL"; the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can
be used to select them.
Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)
* Add ECDH engine support.
Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)
* Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)
* Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
Bodo Moeller
* Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value is
really the square of the return value. (Previously, BN_mod_sqrt
would show GIGO behaviour.)
Bodo Moeller
* Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems
Laboratories)
* Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields (new
files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/). New
EC_METHOD:
EC_GF2m_simple_method
New API functions:
EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
enable it).
As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts. (For
simplicity, the ..._GFp prefix has been dropped from various
internal method names.)
An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems
Laboratories)
* Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
methods are undefined.
Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems
Laboratories)
* New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
length of the modulus.
Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems
Laboratories)
* New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup. (These simply call
..._new and ..._copy).
Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems
Laboratories)
* Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
used) in the following functions [macros]:
BN_GF2m_add
BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
BN_GF2m_mod_inv
BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
(Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^
m). BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of
consistency.)
For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are
set; i.e., p[] represents the polynomial f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] +
... + t^p[k] where p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0. This applies to
the following functions:
BN_GF2m_mod_arr
BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
BN_GF2m_poly2arr
BN_GF2m_arr2poly
Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
BN_GF2m_poly2arr
BN_GF2m_arr2poly
bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available. The
default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems
Laboratories)
* Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
functionality is disabled at compile-time.
Douglas Stebila douglas.stebila@sun.com
* Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
avoid the appearance of a printable string.
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de
* Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
functions EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag() EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form() These control ASN1 encoding
details:
+ Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
+ Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options
for asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
functions EC_GROUP_set_seed() EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
EC_GROUP_get_seed_len() This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so
far).
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de
* Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID of the
appropriate field type OID. The new function
EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de
* Add functions EC_POINT_point2bn() EC_POINT_bn2point()
EC_POINT_point2hex() EC_POINT_hex2point() providing useful
interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and EC_POINT_oct2point().
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de
* Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
EC_GROUP_set_generator() EC_GROUP_get_generator()
EC_GROUP_get_order() EC_GROUP_get_cofactor() are implemented
directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched to methods,
which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when adding
different types of curves.
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de with input by Bodo Moeller
* Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated (which
avoid length expansion in many cases).
Bodo Moeller
* Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests on a
EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de
* Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa' (these are
based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
library. Most notably,
+ 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
+ EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
+ X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and d2i_PublicKey
(crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make them
suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be extracted
before the specific public key;
+ ECDSA engine support has been added.
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de
* Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
function EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(), and the list of available
named curves can be obtained with EC_get_builtin_curves(). Also
add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
accessed via EC_GROUP_set_curve_name() EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
Nils Larsch 4 (some 64 bit
platforms).
This change has negligible security impact because:
1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo
random data.
2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the
initial handshake.
3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48
bytes in size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client
server and random values.
The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing
this issue to our attention.
Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC

prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
Darren Tucker dtucker@zip.com.au via Lutz Janicke, resolves #1014

Steve Henson
* Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
Andy Polyakov
* Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to
indicate failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
Nauticus Networks SSL Team openssl@nauticusnet.com, Steve Henson
* Add new -passin argument to dgst.
Steve Henson
* Perform some character comparisons of different types in
X509_NAME_cmp: this is needed for some certificates that
re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings (in violation of RFC3280) and
can't or won't issue name rollover certificates.
Steve Henson
* Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
+ if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
has chosen to ignore this fault)
+ if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
+ that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one
has been given)
Richard Levitte
Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
* Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the
revoked entries during signature checking and serial number
lookup. Now the encoding is cached and the serial number sort
performed under a lock. Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
Steve Henson
* Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
Steve Henson
* Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
David Holmes d.holmes@f5.com
* Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers
(in violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation
utilities. This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the
initial serial number when a serial number file is created or
when a self signed certificate is created using 'openssl req
-x509'. The initial serial number file is created using 'openssl
x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl rather than being initialized to 1.
Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
* Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
Joe Orton, Steve Henson
* Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
(CVE-2004-0112)
Joe Orton, Steve Henson
* Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the
same subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the
keyword 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section
(default if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is
saved with the database itself in a separate index attribute
file, named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the
name.
Richard Levitte
* X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set
if keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled
critical extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL
extensions this rejects a CRL with any critical extensions. Add
new verify error codes for these cases.
Steve Henson
* When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the
extnValue. A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of
OCTET STRINGs and some implementations cannot handle the current
raw format. Since OpenSSL copies and compares OCSP nonces as
opaque blobs without any attempt at parsing them this should not
create any compatibility issues.
Steve Henson
* New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be
reused when calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling
OPENSSL_malloc(). Without this HMAC (and other) operations are
several times slower than OpenSSL < 0.9.7.
Steve Henson
* Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
Peter Sylvester Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr
* Use the correct content when signing type "other".
Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
* Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545
).
If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to
check certificate signature with the NULL public key.
Steve Henson
* New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
exiting on the first error in a request.
Steve Henson
* In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
specifications.
Steve Henson
* In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0 but
also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe
* Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/
exportable when it's 512 bits long, not 512 bytes.
Richard Levitte
* Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of blocks
during encryption.
Richard Levitte
* Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
certain size.
Steve Henson
* Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes: output correct
application/pkcs7 MIME type if PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set.
Tolerate some broken signatures. Output CR+LF for EOL if
PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening of files as .eml work).
Correctly handle very long lines in MIME parser.
Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
* Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat a protocol
version number mismatch like a decryption error in
ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
Bodo Moeller
* Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation to
avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING. They
would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller
* Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as an
unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there is no
point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe by
remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and having
all other threads use local one-time blinding factors (this
requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but avoids
excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared between
threads, blinding will still be very fast).
Bodo Moeller
* Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
should make sure they are passing it correctly.
Geoff Thorpe
* Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
Ulf Moeller
Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
* In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL), Alain
Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL,
Ilion)
* Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with
no-err is not to have the whole error stack handling routines
removed from libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the
function name and reason texts, thereby removing some of the
footprint that may not be interesting if those errors aren't
displayed anyway.
NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have
its own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just
not used by default when no-err is given.
Richard Levitte
* Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454
* Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change, the
value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
Kevin Greaney Kevin.Greaney@hp.com and Richard Levitte
* Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed
in ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send
the correct chain if the automatic operation produced an
incorrect result.
Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert
().
2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want
the auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates
are present and it might also want a means of sending no
additional certificates (for example the chain has two
certificates and the root is omitted).
Steve Henson
* Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
Steven Reddie smr@essemer.com.au via Richard Levitte
* Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
Steve Henson
* DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN
objects could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is
performed early enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D
Nestlerode nestler@MIT.EDU, Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de via PR
#459)
Lutz Jaenicke
* Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was
incorrectly checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore
session resumption could still fail with a "ssl session id is
different" error. This behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is
used due to SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set. Behaviour
observed by Crispin Flowerday crispin@flowerday.cx as followup to
PR #377.
Lutz Jaenicke
* IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets,
support for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
Andy Polyakov
* Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway kris@obsecurity.org
Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
[NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
* Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the
last octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client
side session caching could not have worked due to the session ID
mismatch between client and server. Behaviour observed by Crispin
Flowerday crispin@flowerday.cx as PR #377.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use
EX_LIBS instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5.
LIBKRB5 is removed entirely.
Richard Levitte
* The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many
application author have done nothing to provide the necessary
callbacks, which means that this particular engine will not work
properly anywhere. This is a very unfortunate situation which
forces us, in the name of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a
static lock, which is part of libcrypto. NOTE: This is for the
0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never appear in 0.9.8 or later.
We EXPECT application authors to have dealt properly with this
when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually make such changes in
the libcrypto locking code that changes will have to be made
anyway).
Richard Levitte
* In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all
content octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without
this change some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an
error.
Steve Henson
* Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
Richard Levitte
* Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
Steven Reddie smr@essemer.com.au via Richard Levitte
* Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and edit
numbers of the version.
Corinna Vinschen vinschen@redhat.com and Richard Levitte

1.

* Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding
algorithms have been removed entirely. This was also the last
step to make OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable
conditions.
Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman dkaufman@rahul.net
* Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and
COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT to allow version independent disabling of
normally unselected ciphers, which may be activated as a
side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
(E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are
left out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric
encryption. "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe
ciphersuites.)
Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller
* Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
some local tweaks:
# Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
# this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
# is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
(cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
mkdir -p `dirname $F`
ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
done
To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make
clean" is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about
it, it probably means the source directory is very clean.
Richard Levitte
* Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is
possible the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the
original string data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use
the stored values.
Gotz Babin-Ebell babinebell@trustcenter.de
* Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer solar@openwall.com
* Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
error in AES-CFB decryption.
Richard Levitte
* Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption BIOs
and some applications. This has the side effect that applications
must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
Steve Henson
* Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before
calling bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do
not contain n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either
is not zero.
Steve Henson
* Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop
joop@fokus.gmd.de)
Lutz Jaenicke
* Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the
short form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form. Use
"mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to
RFC2798; therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7". The
OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier. Some more OID
additions. (Michael Bell michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de)
Lutz Jaenicke
* Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto
initialize ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be
initialized after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If
init=1 the ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that
point are run on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the
initialized one). If init=0 then the ENGINE will not be
initialized at all.
Steve Henson
* Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
declaration has been changed from int (*cb)() into int (*cb)
(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *); in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/
ssl_cert.c), the call i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx) has
been changed into i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->
app_verify_arg).
To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
D. K. Smetters smetters@parc.xerox.com
* Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
Maurice Gittens maurice@gittens.nl, touchups by Geoff Thorpe
* Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
This allows older applications to transparently support certain
OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE
loading. Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf()
which will never load the config file and
OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will always load it have
also been added.
Steve Henson
* Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
Stephen Sprunk stephen@sprunk.org and Richard Levitte
* Config modules support in openssl utility.
Most commands now load modules from the config file, though in a
few (such as version) this isn't done because it couldn't be used
for anything.
In the case of ca and req the config file used is the same as the
utility itself: that is the -config command line option can be
used to specify an alternative file.
Steve Henson
* Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config
file.
Steve Henson
* Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an
alternative config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a
missing config file and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
Steve Henson
* Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep') The support was copied
from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected to work with the new
engine framework.
AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte
* Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware') The support was copied from
0.9.6c [engine] and adapted to work with the new engine
framework.
Richard Levitte
* Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and
actually make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL
engine work.
Toomas Kiisk vix@cyber.ee and Richard Levitte
* Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
Robert Dahlem Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de via Richard Levitte
* Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro. Make 'openssl rsa'
use the general key loading routines implemented in apps.c, and
make those routines able to handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE
and the variant FORMAT_IISSGC.
Toomas Kiisk vix@cyber.ee via Richard Levitte
* Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
Toomas Kiisk vix@cyber.ee via Richard Levitte
* Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk vix@cyber.ee
* Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
Ben Laurie
* Add new functions ERR_peek_last_error ERR_peek_last_error_line
ERR_peek_last_error_line_data. These are similar to
ERR_peek_error ERR_peek_error_line ERR_peek_error_line_data, but
report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
still in the error queue.
Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller
* default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows
things like: default_algorithms = ALL default_algorithms = RSA,
DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
Steve Henson
* Preliminary ENGINE config module.
Steve Henson
* New experimental application configuration code.
Steve Henson
* Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all
other symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything
to the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
Stephen Sprunk stephen@sprunk.org and Richard Levitte
* SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from
ui_openssl.c.
Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt
* Add option to output public keys in req command.
Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org
* Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency (up to about
10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
Bodo Moeller
* New functions/macros
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
to request calling a callback function
void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
whenever a protocol message has been completely received (write_p
== 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the protocol
version according to which the SSL library interprets the current
protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or TLS1_VERSION).
'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or the content type
as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol specification
(change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)). 'buf' and
'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the SSL object, and
'arg' is the application-defined value set by SSL[_CTX]
_set_msg_callback_arg().
'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
Bodo Moeller
* Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built
as soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and
thereby get openssl and the test programs linked against the
shared library. This still only happens when the keyword "shard"
has been given to the configuration scripts.
NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
"Maciej W. Rozycki" macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl and Richard Levitte
* Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
Peter Sylvester Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr
* Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
when reusing an existing buffer.
Bodo Moeller
* New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req
command. This allows field values to be specified as UTF8
strings.
Steve Henson
* Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple
parallel runs for the former and machine-readable output for the
latter.
Ben Laurie
* Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a
certificate extension only). The new configuration file option
'email_in_dn = no' has the same effect.
Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org
* Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
exception.
Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
des functions altogether. Those are
OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT and
OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those are
defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
won't work.
NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one.
Software authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style
functions. Some time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes
compatibility functions will be disable (i.e.
OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the default), and then
completely removed.
Richard Levitte
* Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical
extensions. If such a certificate is found during a verify
operation it is rejected by default: this behaviour can be
overridden by either handling the new error
X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or by setting the verify
flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if
a particular extension is supported.
Steve Henson
* Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to
digests to retain compatibility with existing code.
Steve Henson
* Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to
retain compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx'
parameter does not have to be to be initialized before the call
to EVP_DigestInit() and it is tidied up after a call to
EVP_DigestFinal(). New function EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does
not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed
to not require the destination to be initialized valid and new
function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which requires the
destination to be valid.
Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
Steve Henson
* Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using
it so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in
memory instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body'
data.
Bodo Moeller
* Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for
Win32.
Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte
* Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE"
manipulation (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing
with implementations of specific crypto interfaces. This change
also introduces integrated support for symmetric ciphers and
digest implementations - so ENGINEs can now accelerate these by
providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD implementations of their own.
This is detailed in crypto/engine/README.md as it couldn't be
adequately described here. However, there are a few API changes
worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that were
changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a
good deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly
with RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather
than dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the
ENGINE functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been
removed - they were not being used by the framework as there is
no concept of a BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised
to the new 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code.
Similarly, ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be
consistently defined in the new code.
Geoff Thorpe
* Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
Steve Henson
* Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
become part of libeay.num as well.
Richard Levitte
* New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
false once a handshake has been completed. (For servers,
SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake() sends a
HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes place.
SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the client
has followed the request.)
Bodo Moeller
* New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION. By
default, clients may request session resumption even during
renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
more bits available for options that should not be part of
SSL_OP_ALL (such as
SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
Bodo Moeller
* Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
Steve Henson
* Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer
application settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed
by "Douglas E. Engert" deengert@anl.gov.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7 (Boyd Lynn Gerber
gerberb@zenez.com).
Lutz Jaenicke
* Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup
to be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings
from ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two
new API functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an
ENGINE.
Geoff Thorpe
* Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
"openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings.
This makes them more flexible to be built both as
statically-linked ENGINEs and self-contained shared-libraries
loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE. Also, add stub code to each
that makes building them as self-contained shared-libraries
easier (see README-Engine.md).
Geoff Thorpe
* Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding
ENGINE implementations into applications that are completely
implemented in self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic"
ENGINE exposes control commands that can be used to configure
what shared-library to load and to control aspects of the way it
is handled. Also, made an update to the README-Engine.md file
that brings its information up-to-date and provides some
information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE (ie. how to
use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
Geoff Thorpe
* Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
"ERR_unload_strings" function.
Geoff Thorpe
* Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
Ben Laurie
* Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
md_data void pointer.
Ben Laurie
* Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
(typically because it is provided by a piece of hardware).
EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application is only
going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the framework
needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
Ben Laurie
* As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying
"ex_data" functions. This change also alters the storage and
management of global ex_data state - it's now all inside
ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg. RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no
longer stores its own STACKS and per-class index counters. The
API functions that use this state have been changed to take a
"class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK and
counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create
new classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of
the thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it
possible to clean up all allocated state using
"CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b) such data would
previously have always leaked in application code and workarounds
were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye to
it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will
still leak as before, but their memory debugging output will
announce it now rather than letting it slide.
Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API
change induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that
X509_STORE_CTX_init() now has a return value to indicate success
or failure.
Geoff Thorpe
* Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such
that the global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used
by the "default" implementation. This change also adds two
functions to "get" and "set" the implementation prior to it being
automatically set the first time any other ERR function takes
place. Ie. an application can call "get", pass the return value
to a module it has just loaded, and that module can call its own
"set" function using that value. This means the module's "ERR"
operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL
code.
Geoff Thorpe
* Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own *_up_ref() function to
increment reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/
REF_CHECK macros on the operation, and provides a more
encapsulated way for external code (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do
this. Also changed the evp and ssl code to use these functions
rather than manually incrementing the counts.
Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()
".
Geoff Thorpe
* Add EVP test program.
Ben Laurie
* Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
Ben Laurie
* New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(),
X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(),
X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and
X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate(). These allow a CRL to be built
without having to access X509_CRL fields directly. Modify 'ca'
application to use new functions.
Steve Henson
* Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of
recommended bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a
security feature. The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers
when TLSv1 is not available (sslv3_server_method() or
SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1). Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1
will have special reasons for their choice and can explicitly
enable this option.
Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke
* Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for
EVP_MD_CTX (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX). Usage
example:
EVP_MD_CTX md;
EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
Ben Laurie
* Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
anyway): E.g.,
des_key_schedule ks;
des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
(Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
Ben Laurie
* Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions,
such as PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked
in due to poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every
PEM function which has a knock on effect of linking in large
amounts of (unused) ASN1 code. Grouping together similar
functions and splitting unrelated functions prevents this.
Steve Henson
* Cleanup of EVP macros.
Ben Laurie
* Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to
add the correct _ecb suffix.
Ben Laurie
* Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
revocation information is handled using the text based index use
by the ca application. The responder can either handle requests
generated internally, supplied in files (for example via a CGI
script) or using an internal minimal server.
Steve Henson
* Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
Richard Levitte
* Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using KRB5
AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson sxw@sxw.org.uk]
2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req, and
authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos
libraries. Vern Staats staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil, Jeffrey Altman
jaltman@columbia.edu via Richard Levitte
* Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
Geoff Thorpe

Ben Laurie
* Added the OS2-EMX target.
"Brian Havard" brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au and Richard Levitte
* Rewrite commands to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF.
New functions to support NCONFroutines in extension code. New
function CONF_set_nconf() to allow functions which take an NCONF
to also handle the old LHASH structure: this means that the old
CONF compatible routines can be retained (in particular w.rt.
extensions) without having to duplicate the code. New function
X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk() to add extensions to a stack.
Steve Henson
* Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner
control and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
Richard Levitte
* Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
Verdon Walker VWalker@novell.com, Steve Henson
* Add the possibility to control engines through control names but
with arbitrary arguments instead of just a string. Change the key
loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback function
pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
versions of OpenSSL [engine]. Adapt the nCipher code for these
new conditions and add a card insertion callback.
Richard Levitte
* Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better
support dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the
possibility to use defaults (for example default passwords from
somewhere else) and interrupts/cancellations.
Richard Levitte
* Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12
utility.
Steve Henson
* Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails.
(Also tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara dtartara@novamens.com
* Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
kind of callback.
Richard Levitte
* Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy
bytes than this minimum value is recommended.
Lutz Jaenicke
* New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process
statistics that are easily reachable.
Richard Levitte
* Windows apparently can't transparently handle global variables
defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the
option EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this
isn't strictly needed for static libraries under Win32.
Steve Henson
* New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
Steve Henson
* Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use
X509_STORE_CTX internally such as S/MIME.
Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes
and trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows
X509_STORE purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override
any set by default.
Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and
s_server applications.
Steve Henson
* Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag
(s) are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure
and its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate
is found in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX
structure.
Command line options added to 'verify' application to support
this.
This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle
multiple CRLs with different times, extension based lookup
(rather than just by subject name) and ultimately more complete
V2 CRL extension handling.
Steve Henson
* Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
compatibility functions using this new API are provided). The
purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
a window system and the like.
Richard Levitte
* Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state
at a per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
Geoff
* Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when
retrieved by ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag:
ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY. This causes the "original" ENGINE
structure to act like a template, analogous to the RSA vs.
RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this operational state
can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the fact they
all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
this case have no functional references and the return value is
the single structural reference. This matches the single
structural reference returned by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it
is incremented on the pre-existing ENGINE structure.
Geoff
* Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since
this needs to match any other type at all we need to manually
clear the tag cache.
Steve Henson
* Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
+ verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide
information about an ENGINE's available control commands.
+ executing control commands from command line arguments using
the '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t'
is specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The
syntax for the individual commands are colon-separated, for
example; openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/
lib/test.so
Geoff
* New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings),
descriptions, and input types for run-time discovery by calling
applications. A subset of these commands are implicitly classed
as "executable" depending on their input type, and only these can
be invoked through the new string-based API function
ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this can be based on user input,
config files, etc). The distinction is that "executable" commands
cannot return anything other than a boolean result and can only
support numeric or string input, whereas some discoverable
commands may only be for direct use through ENGINE_ctrl(), eg.
supporting the exchange of binary data, function pointers, or
other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to support
parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be unambiguously
defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any OpenSSL-based
application. Commands have been added to all the existing
hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
control over shared-library paths without source code
alterations.
Geoff
* Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this
being necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED
distinction, this also allows the implementations to compile
without using the internal engine_int.h header.
Geoff
* Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now
returns a 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a
RAND_METHOD should already have non-const pointers to it (ie.
they should only modify their own ones).
Geoff
* Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
+ "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from
header files to C code. "nuron" string definitions were
placed in variables rather than hard-coded - allowing
parameterisation of these values later on via ctrl()
commands.
+ Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
+ Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to
release structural references.
+ Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
+ Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that
duplicates all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except
reference counts/state).
+ Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a
method or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a
previously set value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just
plain stupid anyway and doesn't justify the extra error
symbols and code.
+ Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area
for flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
+ Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(),
finish(), ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an
(ENGINE*) parameter.
Geoff
* Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in
addition to the algorithm using long division. The binary
algorithm can be used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit
systems, it is faster only for relatively small moduli (roughly
20-30% for 128-bit moduli, roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so
we use it only for moduli up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments,
the binary algorithm appears to be advantageous for much longer
moduli; here we use it for moduli up to 2048 bits.
Bodo Moeller
* Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
Steve Henson
* Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
Steve Henson
* Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated by
commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
Steve Henson
* Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication of an
arbitrary number of elliptic curve points \sum scalars[i]points
[i], optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
scalargenerator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
generator).
Bodo Moeller
* First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
operations and provides various method functions that can also
operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling implementation
directly derived from source code provided by Lenka Fibikova
fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de
* Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/
ec_lcl.h, crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over
arbitrary finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for
fields other than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for
now.
Bodo Moeller
* Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but
requires that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
Richard Levitte
* Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
change the def and num file printf format specifier from
"%-40sXXX" to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a
space after the field while the former will cause them to run
together if the field is 40 of more characters long.
Steve Henson
* Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and
EVP_CIPHER pointers.
Steve Henson
* Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing
them in . Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
Bodo Moeller
* Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although
the internal software routines can never fail additional hardware
versions might.
Steve Henson
* Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid
conflicts:
Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with
ERR_LIB_PKCS7 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
ASN1 error codes ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR ...
ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS were 4 .. 9, conflicting with ERR_LIB_RSA
(= ERR_R_RSA_LIB) ... ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB). They are now
58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
Bodo Moeller
* Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval,
CRYPTO_r_lock suffices.
Bodo Moeller
* New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the subject
name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are 'CN=Some
Name, OU=myOU, C=IT' and 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
Massimiliano Pala madwolf@hackmasters.net
* Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
functions on platform were that's the best way to handle
exporting global variables in shared libraries. To enable this
functionality, one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or
defined the C macro "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/
opensslconf.h (the latter is normally done by Configure or
something similar).
To implement a global variable, use the macro
OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL in the source file (foo.c) like this:
OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
To declare a global variable, use the macros
OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file
(foo.h) like this:
OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
#define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
#define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including
the header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the
definition of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced
with better and easier to understand logic to choose which
symbols should go into the Windows .def files as well as a number
of fixes and code cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are
now sorted lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
Richard Levitte
* In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
Steve Henson
* Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP
request trust settings.
Steve Henson
* Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid
responses caused by either OCSP responder or client clock
inaccuracy. Instead we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall
within a certain period of the current time. The age of the
response can also optionally be checked. Two new options
-validity_period and -status_age added to ocsp utility.
Steve Henson
* If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out
its OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
Steve Henson
* Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate
and OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial
certificate ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone
which can then be passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
Steve Henson
* New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use
ASN1_ITEM references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use
the relevant macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option
is to allow use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting
structures is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but
exporting functions returning pointers to structures is not.
Steve Henson
* Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per
SSL. The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if
they wish, the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs,
particularly as it can be useful for session caching in
multiple-server environments. A command-line switch for testing
this (and any client code that wishes to use such a feature) has
been added to "s_server".
Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke
* Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
of the form #if defined(...) || defined(...) || ... and #if !
defined(...) && !defined(...) && .... This also avoids the
growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
Richard Levitte
* Make all configuration macros available for application by making
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names
starting with OPENSSL_ to avoid conflicts with other packages and
by making sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases
together with opensslconf.h. Additionally, it is now possible to
define configuration/platform- specific names (called "system
identities"). In the C code, these are prefixed with
OPENSSL_SYSNAME_. e_os2.h will create another macro with the name
beginning with OPENSSL_SYS_, which is determined from
OPENSSL_SYSNAME_* or compiler-specific macros depending on what
is available.
Richard Levitte
* New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously
self signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and
the CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file
which was auto incremented.
Steve Henson
* New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new
objects.
Steve Henson
* New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to disable
standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP API, which
was previously mandatory. This means that the data is not padded
in any way and so the total length much be a multiple of the
block size, otherwise an error occurs.
Steve Henson
* Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
Steve Henson
* New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its
host, port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New
-url option to ocsp utility.
Steve Henson
* New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce in
a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp
application just prints out a warning. New function
OCSP_add1_basic_nonce() this is to allow responders to include a
nonce in a response even if the request is nonce-less.
Steve Henson
* Disable stdin buffering in load_cert() (apps/apps.c) so that no
certs are skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a
single input file, e.g. (openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509
-out cert2)
prints the status of the cert with the given serial number
(according to the index file). openssl ca -updatedb updates the
expiry status of certificates in the index file.
Massimiliano Pala madwolf@comune.modena.it
* New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
'-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option so
that the resulting key is not encrypted.
Damien Miller djm@mindrot.org
* New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
Jonathan Bartlett johnnyb@wolfram.com via Richard Levitte
* Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This is
currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
Steve Henson
* New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option to
'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
Bodo Moeller
* Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
file name and line number information in additional arguments (a
const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as well
as the original possibility to just replace malloc(), realloc()
and free() by functions that do not know about these additional
arguments. To register and find out the current settings for
extended allocation functions, the following functions are
provided:
CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
extended allocation function is enabled. Similarly, CRYPTO_get_
[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where a conventional
allocation function is enabled.
Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller
* Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when
using the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are
"bugs". See the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h
for details (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an
example).
Geoff Thorpe
* Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix
variant. If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not
return enough entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD)
will automatically be queried. The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /
dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and /etc/entropy will be queried
once each in this sequence, querying stops when enough entropy
was collected without querying more sockets.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient
amount of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each
file (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM
now defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/
srandom" (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so
on typical platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur. Also
separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c. For
VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
Richard Levitte
* Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These provide
utility functions which an application needing to issue a request
to an OCSP responder and analyse the response will typically
need: as opposed to those which an OCSP responder itself would
need which will be added later.
OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar to
PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response from
response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
extensions in the OCSP response for example.
Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the validity
of the nonce in an OCSP response.
Steve Henson
* Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the need to
free up the newly created id. Change return type to OCSP_ONEREQ
to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure. This can then be
used to add extensions to the request. Deleted OCSP_request_new
(), since most of its functionality is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new()
(and the case insensitive name clash) apart from the ability to
set the request name which will be added elsewhere.
Steve Henson
* Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from various
functions. Extensions are now handled using the new OCSP
extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which can be used
to send requests and parse the response.
Steve Henson
* Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after
signing it used to fail because the attribute order did not match
the encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the
attributes: it uses the received order. This is necessary to
tolerate some broken software that does not order SET OF. This is
handled by encoding as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging
(with UNIVERSAL class) to produce the required SET OF.
Steve Henson
* Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
Richard Levitte
* Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace
many PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1
bugs: asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when
it was NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in
asn1_ex_c2i(). New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just
declares the relevant ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
Steve Henson
* New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio().
These replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change
most of the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
Steve Henson
* Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C
preprocessor lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be
deselected, and make it complain about algorithm deselection that
isn't recognised.
Richard Levitte
* New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if
old code will still work when these eventually go away.
Steve Henson
* New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
Steve Henson
* New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
certificates and CRLs.
Steve Henson
* Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when an
extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the OCSP_SERVICELOC
extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
Steve Henson
* Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
entries for variables.
Steve Henson
* Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have to do is
register a locking callback using an array for storing which
locks are currently held by the program.
Bodo Moeller
* Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time during
TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited for
multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
Bodo Moeller
* Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe
* Move common extension printing code to new function
X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
Steve Henson
* New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
print routines.
Steve Henson
* Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously).
This is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to
match the encoding. This will be used to get round a problem
where a PKCS7 structure which was signed could not be verified
because the STACK order did not reflect the encoded order.
Steve Henson
* Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
Steve Henson
* Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM
structure for its ASN1 operations. The old style function
pointers still exist for now but they will eventually go away.
Steve Henson
* Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table
driven encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM
structure describing the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the
existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is largely maintained. Almost all of
the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1 has also been converted to
the new form.
Steve Henson
* Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated (the
sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work for
negative moduli.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results
instead of not touching the result's sign bit.
Bodo Moeller
* BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not
be set.
Bodo Moeller
* Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and
created macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static)
functions that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer
casting for the type-specific callbacks.
Geoff Thorpe
* Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
RFC 2712. Veers Staats staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil, Jeffrey Altman
jaltman@columbia.edu, via Richard Levitte
* Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be
divided in sections depending on the subject.
Richard Levitte
* Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
Windows.
Richard Levitte
* New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a
prime (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless p
== 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can be
handled deterministically).
Lenka Fibikova fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de, Bodo Moeller
* Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256
or 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
Bodo Moeller
* New function BN_kronecker.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
positive unless both parameters are zero. Previously something
reasonably close to an infinite loop was possible because numbers
could be growing instead of shrinking in the implementation of
Euclid's algorithm.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
sign of the number in question.
Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'. Note
that BN_abs_is_word does not handle w == 0 reliably; it exists
mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(), BN_is_one
(), and BN_is_word().
Bodo Moeller
* New function BN_swap.
Bodo Moeller
* Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that the
exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
results on negative inputs.
Bodo Moeller
* Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was
negative; I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
Bodo Moeller
* Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
(except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
and add new functions:
BN_nnmod
BN_mod_sqr
BN_mod_add
BN_mod_add_quick
BN_mod_sub
BN_mod_sub_quick
BN_mod_lshift1
BN_mod_lshift1_quick
BN_mod_lshift
BN_mod_lshift_quick
These functions always generate non-negative results.
BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder
r such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b] be
reduced modulo m.
Lenka Fibikova fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de, Bodo Moeller
* In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
hash is going to be compared with some given password hash) or
the new '-noverify' option is used.
This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
cause any problems.
Bodo Moeller
* Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for
it.
Richard Levitte
* Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
(SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
Richard Levitte
* Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
time)
Richard Levitte
* Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by
default.
Richard Levitte
* Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
Richard Levitte
* Add the following functions:
ENGINE_load_cswift()
ENGINE_load_chil()
ENGINE_load_atalla()
ENGINE_load_nuron()
ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
That way, an application can itself choose if external engines
that are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The
benefit is that applications won't have to be linked with libdl
or other dso libraries unless it's really needed.
Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand. Changed
the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
declarations (they differed!).
Richard Levitte
* 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
Richard Levitte
* Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
Richard Levitte
* Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
Bodo Moeller
* Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
identity, and test if they are actually available.
Richard Levitte
* Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and
making sure the installed documentation is also owned by
root.root.
Damien Miller djm@mindrot.org
* Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
Richard Levitte
* Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
Richard Levitte
* Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
Richard Levitte
* Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
Ben Laurie
* Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte
* Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now
possible to have far greater control over how a "name" is turned
into a filename depending on the operating environment and any
oddities about the different shared library filenames on each
system.
Geoff Thorpe
* Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
Richard Levitte
* Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces warnings
about corrupt line number information when assembling with
debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping of two
sections.
Bernd Matthes mainbug@celocom.de, Steve Henson
* NCONF changes. NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all.
As a replacement, NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error
checking") and is promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is
kept around for binary backward compatibility. Make it possible
for methods to load from something other than a BIO, by providing
a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO. For
example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
LDAP server.
Richard Levitte
* Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
this case.
Steve Henson
* Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
Ben Laurie
* Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function to
allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
set.
Steve Henson
* Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
Richard Levitte
Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
* Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
Joe Orton, Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
* Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with certain
ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
* Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to
check certificate signature with the NULL public key.
Steve Henson
* In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
specifications.
Steve Henson
* In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0 but
also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe
* Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/
exportable when it's 512 bits long, not 512 bytes.
Richard Levitte
Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
* Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat a protocol
version number mismatch like a decryption error in
ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
Bodo Moeller
* Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation to
avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING. They
would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller
* Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as an
unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there is no
point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe by
remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and having
all other threads use local one-time blinding factors (this
requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but avoids
excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared between
threads, blinding will still be very fast).
Bodo Moeller
Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
* In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL), Alain
Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL,
Ilion)
Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
* New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a
section of memory from its contents. This is done with a counter
that will place alternating values in each byte. This can be used
to solve two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by
highly optimizing compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values
than 0, since those can be read through on certain media, for
example a swap space on disk.
Geoff Thorpe
* Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external
caching, because the session->cipher setting was not restored
when reloading from the external cache. This problem was masked,
when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL)
was set. (Found by Steve Haslam steve@araqnid.ddts.net.)
Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 ..
33.
Zeev Lieber zeev-l@yahoo.com
* Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
EVP_cleanup().
Richard Levitte
* Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line
not being properly terminated.
Richard Levitte
* Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on
handling DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as
RDNs of type emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte
* Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half the
job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently doing,
define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be the
bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
change.
Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El
* Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/
s3_clnt.c (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any
length up to 32 bytes).
Bodo Moeller
* Fix initialization code race conditions in SSLv23_method(),
SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(), SSLv2_method(),
SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(), SSLv3_method(),
SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(), TLSv1_method(),
TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(), ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
Patrick McCormick patrick@tellme.com, Bodo Moeller
* Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the
ex_data after the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb()
might use ex_data contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik
mrsam@courier-mta.com (see [openssl.org #212]).
Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
Steve Henson
Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
* [In 0.9.6g-engine release:] Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/
cswift.h for WIN32 (use _stdcall).
Lynn Gazis lgazis@rainbow.com
Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
* Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
and get fix the header length calculation. Florian Weimer
Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE, Alon Kantor alonk@checkpoint.com
(and others), Steve Henson
* Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
assertions could call abort()).
Arne Ansper arne@ats.cyber.ee, Bodo Moeller
Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
* Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject the ASN1
length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear negative or
the content length exceeds the length of the supplied buffer.
Steve Henson, Adi Stav stav@mercury.co.il, James Yonan
jim@ntlp.com
* Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no
flags for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled
correctly by the selection routines (PR #130).
Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
Nils Larsch
* New option SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS for disabling the
SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure that was added
in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
applications.
Bodo Moeller
* Changes in security patch:
Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research
Laboratory, Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement
number F30602-01-2-0537.
* Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject the ASN1
length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear negative or
the content length exceeds the length of the supplied buffer. (
CVE-2002-0659)
Steve Henson, Adi Stav stav@mercury.co.il, James Yonan
jim@ntlp.com
* Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
happen in practice.
Ben Laurie (CHATS)
* Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655) Matthew
Byng-Maddick mbm@aldigital.co.uk and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
* Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
Ben Laurie (CHATS)
* Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
Ben Laurie (CHATS)
Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
* Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de; problem pointed out by Bodo
Moeller
* Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
Nils Larsch nla@trustcenter.de
* Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended
lines: an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged,
when the CRLF was just at the end of a processed block. The bug
was discovered when processing data through a buffering memory
BIO handing the data to a BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch
submitted by Pavel Tsekov ptsekov@syntrex.com and Nedelcho
Stanev.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs with
data potentially chosen by the attacker.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
Bodo Moeller
* TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper
arne@ats.cyber.ee
* Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords
instead of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
sss@sss.dnsalias.net).
Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
BN_generate_prime().)
In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
better.
Bodo Moeller
* Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and
submitted by Tom Wu tom@arcot.com.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
when using non-blocking I/O.
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes
* Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
Yoram Zahavi YoramZ@gilian.com).
Lutz Jaenicke
* Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
configuration for the versions before that.
Corinna Vinschen vinschen@redhat.com and Richard Levitte
* Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more
robust: check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not
delete from the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar
Shoshani Levi" izhar@checkpoint.com.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
is never intended to be looked up
(SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP flag is set). Proposed by
Aslam aslam@funk.com.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the
requested value is 0.
Richard Levitte
* [In 0.9.6d-engine release:] Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in
hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
Toomas Kiisk vix@cyber.ee via Richard Levitte
* Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
Neale Ferguson Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com via Richard
Levitte
* The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
session cache.
To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
using a local variable.
Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller
* Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c) if
the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller
* New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
Richard Levitte
* Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
"Dan S. Camper" dan@bti.net
* Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
D P Chang dpc@qualys.com
Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
* Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com. (The previous implementation
worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3*range is two bits longer than range.)
Bodo Moeller
* Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
present.
Steve Henson
* Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce. Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/
objects/objects.txt were incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller
* Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
returns early because it has nothing to do.
Andy Schneider andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk
* [In 0.9.6c-engine release:] Fix mutex callback return values in
crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
Andy Schneider andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk
* [In 0.9.6c-engine release:] Add support for Cryptographic
Appliance's keyserver technology. (Use engine 'keyclient')
Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe
* Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
modules).
Richard Shapiro rshapiro@abinitio.com
* [In 0.9.6c-engine release:] Add support for Broadcom crypto
accelerator cards, backported from 0.9.7.
Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai nalin@redhat.com, Mark Cox
* [In 0.9.6c-engine release:] Add support for SureWare crypto
accelerator cards from Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine
'sureware')
Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox
* [In 0.9.6c-engine release:] Add support for crypto accelerator
cards from Accelerated Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use
engine 'aep')
AEP Inc. and Mark Cox
* Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
Gary Benson gbenson@redhat.com
* Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the
way.
Bodo Moeller
* Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use
gethostbyname() instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what
timeouts are appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even
when they have become invalid. Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out
by Rich Salz rsalz@zolera.com
* Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e., TLS
1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello messages are
never sent like this, but this change gives us strictly correct
behaviour at least for TLS.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
one of the SSL handshake functions.
Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric
* In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
(sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if the
client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then the
client will at least see that alert.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message
fragmentation correctly.
Bodo Moeller
* Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider
andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk
* Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case
SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C should end in 'break', not 'goto end'
which circumvents various cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But
session related stuff must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case
that we just sent a HelloRequest.
Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
before just sending a HelloRequest.
Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla ekr@rtfm.com
* Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
may leak via logfiles.)
Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c failed
to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in the
legal range.
Bodo Moeller
* Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries (Boyd Lynn
Gerber gerberb@zenez.com).
Lutz Jaenicke
* Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf. James H.
Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING
case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use encoding parameters
and hence was not vulnerable.
Bodo Moeller
* BN_sqr() bug fix.
Ulf Moller, reported by Jim Ellis jim.ellis@cavium.com
* Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed
witnesses, so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using
BN_pseudo_rand() followed by modular reduction.
Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM
* Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality:
BN_rand_range() equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of
BN_rand().
Bodo Moeller
* s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16
kB). This function was broken, as the check for a new client
hello message to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
(Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" deengert@anl.gov.)
Lutz Jaenicke
* Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]
().
Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton"
shinton@netopia.com).
Lutz Jaenicke
* Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64
Unix. The configuration part makes use of modern compiler
features and still retains old compiler behavior for those that
run older versions of the OS. The shared library support part
includes a variant that uses the RPATH feature, and is available
through the special configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which
will never be selected automatically.
Tim Mooney mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu via Richard Levitte
* In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs,
CertificateRequest messages might inadvertently be reject as too
long.
Petr Lampa lampa@fee.vutbr.cz
* Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and
HP-UX).
Andy Polyakov
* Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been
set specifically for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is
actually being used. Before the change, a verify_callback set
with this function was ignored and the verify_callback() set in
the SSL_CTX at the time of the call was used. New function
X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced to allow the necessary
settings.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/
dh_lib.c explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems
not always to be done automatically (in contradiction to the
requirements of the C standard). This made problems when used
from OpenSSH.
Lutz Jaenicke
* In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored dh->
length and always used
BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of the
subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have dh->
length.
So switch back to
BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)
-1 otherwise.
Bodo Moeller
* In
RSA_eay_public_encrypt
RSA_eay_private_decrypt
RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
(default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
always reject numbers >= n.
Bodo Moeller
* In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock
CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This
is necessary on systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an
'unsigned long' variable) is not atomic.
Bodo Moeller
* In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current
thread's ID before setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The
previous code had a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
Travis Vitek vitek@roguewave.com
* Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
Albert Chin-A-Young china@thewrittenword.com
* Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
little-endian MIPS.
Ralf Baechle ralf@uni-koblenz.de
* Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
Richard Levitte
Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
* Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c) to avoid a
SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by Markku-Juhani O.
Saarinen markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com: PRNG state recovery
was possible based on the output of one PRNG request
appropriately sized to gain knowledge on 'md' followed by enough
consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests to traverse all of 'state'.
1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred to me
that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the half from
which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always assumed that
the secret half would be used.) The second measure makes sure
that additional data from 'state' is never mixed into 'md_local'
in small portions; this heuristically further strengthens the
PRNG.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
Andy Polyakov
* When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print
out an error message in this case.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing
routines.
Steve Henson
* In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
positive and less than q.
Bodo Moeller
* Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback
is used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should
handle that itself.
Paul Rose Paul.Rose@bridge.com
* Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in ssl3_enc (ssl/
s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
Bodo Moeller
* Fix OAEP check.
Ulf Moller, Bodo Moller
* The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL
0.9.5 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible
'client hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical
against SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version
checking means that the probability of guessing a valid
ciphertext is around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's
CRYPTO '98 paper.)
Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
detect the supposedly ignored error.
Both problems are now fixed.
Bodo Moeller
* In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
(previously it was 1024).
Bodo Moeller
* Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
Steve Henson
* Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
Steve Henson
* Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle
missing parameters in DSA public key structures and return an
error in the DSA routines if parameters are absent.
Steve Henson
* In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set. For
Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
environment variables.
* Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
Bodo Moeller
* In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
combination of a flag and a thread ID variable. Otherwise while
one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the flag), other
threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying the
CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
that they do not hold after the first thread unsets
add_do_not_lock).
Bodo Moeller
* Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
versions of 'test'.
Bodo Moeller
Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
* Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng hzheng@atdsprint.com
* Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will
contain the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make
the perl scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists
and use "cp" if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and
installable in CygWin.
Richard Levitte
* Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed
data. If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the
total amount of data available.
Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org
This change does not apply to 0.9.7.
* Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
(workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug). For compatibility with
Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced in the bctest version
that searches along $PATH).
Bodo Moeller
* Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like
Solaris and UnixWare.
Richard Levitte
* Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119, http://
theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
Ulf Moeller
* MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
Andy Polyakov
* Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
Richard Levitte
* Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
Steve Henson
This change does not apply to 0.9.7.
* Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered if
a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old (but
broken) behaviour.
Steve Henson
* Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
it when found.
Tim Rice tim@multitalents.net via Richard Levitte
* Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
Bodo Moeller
* Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
did not exist.
Bodo Moeller
* Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
Jeremy Cooper jeremy@baymoo.org
* Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
Richard Levitte
* In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala madwolf@opensca.org
* Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by
checking if X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory
leak when PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
Steve Henson
* Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
Ulf Moeller
* Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/
mem_dbg.c) due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of
CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka
CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
Bodo Moeller
* Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x. Kurt Hockenbury
khockenb@stevens-tech.edu and "Bruce W. Forsberg"
bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com
* Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
was empty.
Steve Henson
This change does not apply to 0.9.7.
* Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe
"errors" but the code is actually correct.
Steve Henson
* Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to
prevent Bleichenbacher's DSA attack. Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As
before, top=1 forces the highest two bits to be set and top=0
forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new and leaves the
highest bit random.
Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller
* In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
(crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
(which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve). Instead, use
NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and CONF_get_number
(which may use environment variables) and directly return NULL
from CONF_get_section.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
Ulf Moeller
* Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and
certSign keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
Steve Henson
* Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format
that is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon),
since some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise.
Also make sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not
create invalid headers.
Richard Levitte
* Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF and
break the signature.
Steve Henson
This change does not apply to 0.9.7.
* Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in DH
ciphersuites.
Steve Henson
* Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init() aka
OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates with
unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
"Bruce W. Forsberg" bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com
* ./config script fixes.
Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte
* Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
Bodo Moeller
* Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done by
adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
Steve Henson, reported by oddissey@samsung.co.kr
* Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
call failed, free the DSA structure.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings. These
are present in some PKCS#12 files.
Steve Henson
* Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/
s2_lib.c). Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write
beyond buffer limits when writing a 32767 byte record.
Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day eday@concentric.net
* In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_
{n,p,q}.
(RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c,
ssl_rsa.c], so they are meant to be shared between threads.) Bodo
Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by "Reddie,
Steven" Steven.Reddie@ca.com
* Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
Bodo Moeller
* Use better test patterns in bntest.
Ulf Moller
* rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
Ulf Moller
* BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
Bodo Moeller
* Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs so
that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
Bodo Moeller
* Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client
side always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the
original result of the server certificate verification.)
Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0. Similarly, change
ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix SSL_peek: Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally
broken in earlier releases, have been re-implemented by renaming
the previous implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to
ssl2_read_internal and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and
adding 'peek' parameters to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek}
functions are calls to ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag
set appropriately. A 'peek' parameter has also been added to
ssl3_read_bytes, which does the actual work for
ssl3_read_internal.
Bodo Moeller
* Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to
calling the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up
ex_data after calling the method-specific "finish()" handler.
Previously, this was happening the other way round.
Geoff Thorpe
* Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp
().
Bodo Moeller
* Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this
should be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary
compatibility.
Richard Levitte
* Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
Jean-Marc Desperrier jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com
* Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
+ Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries
and if there is a need for symbolic links from for example
libcrypto.so.0 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info
in Configure for that.
+ Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
+ Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared
libraries.
+ When installing, install the shared libraries separately from
the static ones.
Richard Levitte
* Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz gertz@epact.se
* Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
matter what.
Richard Levitte
* Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
Lutz Jaenicke
Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
* In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain
the first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e.
client_version. (Note that this is a pathologic case that
probably has never happened in real life.) The previous approach
was to use the version number from the record header as a
substitute; but our protocol choice should not depend on that one
because it is not authenticated by the Finished messages.
Bodo Moeller
* More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
Jeffrey Altman jaltman@columbia.edu
* For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check
errors to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the
callback does handle. If an application does set the flag then we
assume it knows what it is doing and can handle the new
informational codes appropriately.
Steve Henson
* Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode
anything including tagged types. However it didn't check the
class so it would wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way
as their universal counterpart and unknown types were just
rejected. Changed so that the tagged and unknown types are
handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE: that is the encoding is
stored intact. There is also a new type "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is
used when the class is not universal, in this case we have no
idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all together.
Steve Henson
* On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to in
a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
the answer.
Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
been tested well enough.
Richard Levitte
* Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery, it
can return incorrect results. (Note: The buggy variant was not
enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a, but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
Bodo Moeller
* Disable the check for content being present when verifying
detached signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape
(wrongly) include zero length content when signing messages.
Steve Henson
* New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
Bodo Moller
* Add DSO method for VMS.
Richard Levitte
* Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
wrong sign.
Ulf Moller
* Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
packages. The default package contains applications, application
documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The
original openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller
djm@mindrot.org.
Richard Levitte
* Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
Lutz Jaenicke Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE
* Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
NAKAJI Hiroyuki nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp
* Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
random number < q in the DSA library.
Ulf Moller
* New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even
if the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took
place. (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as
s_client and s_server that use select() to determine when to use
SSL_read; but for applications that know in advance when to
expect data, it just makes things more complicated.)
Bodo Moeller
* Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of
bytes read from EGD.
Ben Laurie
* Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make req and x509 work
better on such systems.
Martin Kraemer Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De
* Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the keyid
to the certificates aux info.
Steve Henson
* Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop if there
was more than one signature.
Sven Uszpelkat su@celocom.de
* Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information about
each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well as
functions. This change means that there's n more need to rebuild
the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
Richard Levitte
* Allow the verify time to be set by an application, rather than
always using the current time.
Steve Henson
* Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate verify code
now looks up an issuer certificate by a number of criteria:
subject name, authority key id and key usage. It also verifies
self signed certificates by the same criteria. The main
comparison function is X509_check_issued() which performs these
checks.
Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this without
completely rewriting the lookup code.
Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced by a
STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an LHASH can't
store or retrieve multiple objects with the same hash value.
As a result various functions (which were all internal use only)
have changed to handle the new X509_STORE structure. This will
break anything that messed round with X509_STORE internally.
The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an exact
match, rather than just subject name.
The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval of
multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however this can
be worked round by performing a lookup first (which will fill the
cache with candidate certificates) and then examining the cache
for matches. This is probably the best we can do without throwing
out X509_LOOKUP entirely (maybe later...).
The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it can be
replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way to bypass the
X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this work and makes it
possible to use more efficient techniques in future. A very
simple version which uses a simple STACK for its trusted
certificate store is also provided using
X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents in
the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used to
customise the verify behaviour.
Steve Henson
* Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which excludes S/
MIME capabilities.
Steve Henson
* When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the original
encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting again.
Signatures then use the original encoding rather than a decoded,
encoded version which may cause problems if the request is
improperly encoded.
Steve Henson
* For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
BIO_write(b, ...).
In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr
* Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
words set to zero.)
Bodo Moeller
* Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined (such
as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
Bodo Moeller
* New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be used for
low level RSA operations. DER public key BIO/fp routines also
added.
Steve Henson
* New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
Andreas Schneider andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de
* A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by Nuron (http:
//www.nuron.com/) and is now available in demos/state_machine.
Ben Laurie
* New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature generation
and verification.
Steve Henson
* Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a catch all
ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported types to be stored
as a "blob" and an application can encode and decode it manually.
Steve Henson
* Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c compile
under VC++.
Oscar Jacobsson oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com
* ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct length
if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed if passed a NULL BN
and its argument was negative.
Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg sven@tartu.cyber.ee
* Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with the
flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
Steve Henson
* Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
Richard Levitte
* Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written through a
logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available through
syslog. The prefixes are now:
PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
Richard Levitte
* Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS, and
are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
Richard Levitte
* MD4 implemented.
Assar Westerlund assar@sics.se, Richard Levitte
* Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
Richard Levitte
* The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object names.
The reason was that it compared the quoted version of strings as
a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because " > SPACE. Changed
script to store unquoted versions of names and add quotes on
output. It was also omitting some names from the lookup table if
they were given a default value (that is if SN is missing it is
given the same value as LN and vice versa), these are now added
on the grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate short or
long names are found.
Steve Henson
* Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
Scott Uroff scott@xypro.com
* Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
version rollback attacks was not effective.
In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection
padding (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol
enabled in the client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the
rollback check if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
server.
Bodo Moeller
* Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with
'openssl asn1parse'. By implication, the functions
ASN1_parse_dump() and BIO_dump_indent() are added.
Richard Levitte
* New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
these print out strings and name structures based on various
flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of multibyte
characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility to allow the
various flags to be set.
Steve Henson
* Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME. Also
change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and X509_gmtime_adj
() work with an ASN1_TIME structure, this will enable
certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity dates to be
checked.
Steve Henson
* Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid negative
public key encodings) on by default, NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set
to disable it.
Steve Henson
* New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT content
octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because the encoding
can be trivially obtained from the structure.
Steve Henson
* crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
Bodo Moeller
* A first attempt at creating official support for shared libraries
through configuration. I've kept it so the default is static
libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs are always statically
linked for now, but there are preparations for dynamic linking in
place. This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
Richard Levitte
* Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in: Peter
Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong Random
Numbers.
Ulf Moller
* Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing DSA
key.
Steve Henson
* New options to smime application. -inform and -outform allow
alternative formats for the S/MIME message including PEM and DER.
The -content option allows the content to be specified
separately. This should allow things like Netscape form signing
output easier to verify.
Steve Henson
* Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
Steve Henson
* New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT STRING
types. These convert content octets to and from the underlying
type. The actual tag and length octets are already assumed to
have been read in and checked. These are needed because all other
string types have virtually identical handling apart from the
tag. By having versions of the ASN1 functions that just operate
on content octets IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It
also allows the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because
ASN1_ENUMERATED and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the
tag.
Steve Henson
* Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
+ New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
the syntax given in crypto/objects/README.md.
+ objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
obj_mac.h.
+ obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data
in obj_mac.h.
This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
consistent name changes.
Richard Levitte
* Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option
'-1').
Bodo Moeller
* Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl
req'. The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded
into the random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file
option or environment variable, or the default random state file.
Richard Levitte
* mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
Previously the output order depended on the order the files
appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting of
safestack.h .
Steve Henson
* Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly work
arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as func(void).
Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that added extra typesafe
functions: these no longer exist.
Steve Henson
* Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of a
"stack macro" of the form SKM_(type, a, b). The
DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts, this
has the advantage of retaining type safety without the use of
additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined then the
non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see if
which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for
ASN1_SET_OF and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
Steve Henson
* When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case MD5(MD5(password)
+ "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some new functions
i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same as the old
Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional 'sgckey'
parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added an
-sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to Adrian
Peck bertie@ncipher.com for posting details of the modified
algorithm to openssl-dev.
Steve Henson
* The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
Corrected to 'c.kname'.
Phillip Porch root@theporch.com
* New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that
return a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request,
these look in the subject name and the subject alternative name
extensions and omit any duplicate addresses.
Steve Henson
* Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger)
windows. This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
Bodo Moeller
* Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead
of 5 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is
only 4 KB plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli). This makes
exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit exponents (as
measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
Bodo Moeller
* Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
software: Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc Malloc_locked =>
OPENSSL_malloc_locked Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc Free =>
OPENSSL_free
Richard Levitte
* New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
Bodo Moeller
* CygWin32 support.
John Jarvie jjarvie@newsguy.com
* The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only
compiled in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK
option and by default all type-specific stack functions are "#
define"d back to standard stack functions. This results in more
streamlined output but retains the type-safety checking
possibilities of the original approach.
Geoff Thorpe
* The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This
has also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more
correctly map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack
counterparts. This work has also resulted in a variety of
"const"ifications of lots of the code, especially _cmp operations
which should normally be prototyped with "const" parameters
anyway.
Geoff Thorpe
* When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the
pool' by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy
count). (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool
'state' and 'md', where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is
used, but 'state' is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As
entropy may not be well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is
important as a chaining variable. However, the output function
chains only half of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the
other hand, chains all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy
bytes will result in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new
values depending on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80
bit limitation.)
Bodo Moeller
* In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes can
lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke
* Major EVP API cipher revision. Add hooks for extra EVP features.
This allows various cipher parameters to be set in the EVP
interface. Support added for variable key length ciphers via the
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and setting of RC2 and
RC5 parameters.
Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable
key length ciphers.
Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example
every cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way
according to the cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the
'key' parameter is NULL and for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->
num.
New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in
terms of macros.
By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be
removed from all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to
handle IVs or keys differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV
or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT flags.
Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
any installed hardware versions can.
Steve Henson
* Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In
ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if this option is set, tolerate
broken clients that send the negotiated protocol version number
instead of the requested protocol version number.
Bodo Moeller
* Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export'
flag; i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra
* Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS key
files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
Steve Henson
* Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of
standards and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
Richard Levitte
* Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
features.
Steve Henson
* Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
Ulf Moller
* Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present but
no ssl client purpose.
Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser grosser@hisolutions.com
* Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec is a
little unclear about how a blank password is handled. Since the
password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating double NULL a
zero length password would end up as just the double NULL.
However no password at all is different and is handled
differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS treats a blank
password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no password on export:
but it will try both on import. We now do the same: PKCS12_parse
() tries zero length and no password if the password is set to ""
or NULL (NULL is now a valid password: it wasn't before) as does
the pkcs12 application.
Steve Henson
* Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
be obtained from the error queue.
Bodo Moeller
* Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing it
in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
Bodo Moeller
* Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
Ulf Moller
* RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default RSA_METHOD to
be chosen if one doesn't exist already. Previously this was only
set during a call to RSA_new() or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it
was possible for RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
Geoff Thorpe
* Added native name translation to the existing DSO code that will
convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames that are
sufficiently small and have no path information into a canonical
native form. Eg. "blah" converted to "libblah.so" or "blah.dll"
etc.
Geoff Thorpe
* New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf' may not
be NULL.
Damien Miller djm@mindrot.org, Bodo Moeller
* CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a new
functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now old
CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to work
in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions to handle
the internal storage of the configuration data is provided to
make it easier to write new configuration file reader "classes"
(I can definitely see something reading a configuration file in
XML format, for example), called _CONF_*, or "the configuration
storage API"...
The new configuration file reading functions are:
NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
arguments as the old CONF_* functions with the exception of the
first that must be a CONF * instead of a LHASH *.
To make it easier to use the new classes with the old CONF_*
functions, the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
Richard Levitte
* Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
(This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0
ciphers.)
Bodo Moeller
* Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
them in a portable way.
Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte
Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
* Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
* Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status (the
default implementation of RAND_status).
* Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
attili@amaxo.com
* Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key
length was larger than the MD block size.
Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William YostW@tce.com
* Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca
argument fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop
X509_PUBKEY_set() using the passed key: if the passed key was a
private key the result of X509_print(), for example, would be to
print out all the private key components.
Steve Henson
* des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix. Ulf Moller, using the
problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where the solution is
attributed to Derrick J Brashear shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG
* Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
discouraged.
Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver briank@cs.stanford.edu
* For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command 'openssl
XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX' returns with
exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
Additional arguments are always ignored.
Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name, the
'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such as
'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
Bodo Moeller
* Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa'
configuration.
Bodo Moeller
* For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if
SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE is set; it will be thrown away anyway
because each handshake creates its own key. ssl_cert_dup, which
is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition to parameters
-- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the 'default key'
from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning you
effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
Bodo Moeller
* New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and 'Q'
and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate). This is
part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof does not
suppress any output.
Richard Levitte
* Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
with all the associated security issues.
X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A new
trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that a
purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead use
the value in the default purpose.
Steve Henson
* Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again and
fix a memory leak.
Steve Henson
* In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as the
default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
Bodo Moeller
* In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason
table using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string()
returned library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr
is a special case where small numbers are errno values, not
library numbers.
Bodo Moeller
* Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating
parameters, DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
Bodo Moeller
* Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code
generated by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
Bodo Moeller
* The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being
used so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third
argument which was free.
Steve Henson
* In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use
RAND_pseudo_bytes instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and
salts.
Bodo Moeller
* Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing it
only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
Bodo Moeller
* Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
number generation fails.
Bodo Moeller
* New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
Bodo Moeller
* Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
Rolf Haberrecker rolf@suse.de
* Assembler module support for Mingw32.
Ulf Moller
* Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
Lutz Jaenicke Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE and Anonymous
* Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
Lutz Behnke behnke@trustcenter.de
Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
* PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
Steve Henson
* In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray agray@iconsinc.com
* BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b
[n] case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail
occasionally.
Ulf Moller
* Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set to
1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose scope
is the entire file, not just the current function. This is needed
with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig peter@runestig.com
* Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF
(ASN1_UTF8STRING) for example.
Steve Henson
* Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count and
has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some data
structure without incrementing reference counters. (Some of the
existing 'get' functions increment a reference counter, some
don't.) Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
counters or duplicate objects.
Steve Henson
* Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure: the
code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
Steve Henson
* Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf(). Ulf Moller,
using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem pointed out
by David Sacerdote das33@cornell.edu
* Support EGD http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/. New functions
RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
or -rand.
Ulf Moller
* Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7
structures. Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in
this form.
Steve Henson
* Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default
cipher list to exclude them. This means that no special
compilation option is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs
to be included in the cipher list.
Steve Henson
* Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro
called EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
Steve Henson
* ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl
functions where the void * argument is replaced by a function
pointer argument. Previously void * was abused to point to
functions, which works on many platforms, but is not correct. As
these functions are usually called by macros defined in OpenSSL
header files, most source code should work without changes.
Richard Levitte
* (which is created by Configure) now
contains sections with information on -D... compiler switches
used for compiling the library so that applications can see them.
To enable one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol
OPENSSL_..._DEFINES must be defined. E.g., #define
OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES #include
defines all pertinent NO_ symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA,
etc.
Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Moller
* Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
record layer.
Bodo Moeller
* Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
Steve Henson
* Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
request header lines. Some software needs this.
Steve Henson
* Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and
make it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and
the usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null
terminated pass phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then
the pass phrase is prompted for as usual.
Steve Henson
* Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is
installed, the support is automatically enabled. The resulting
binaries will autodetect the card and use it if present.
Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.
* Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in
the SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by
default. See the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
Steve Henson
* HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
Andy Polyakov
* Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/
write of seed file.
Steve Henson
* New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
Bodo Moeller
* Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
Steve Henson
* Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
bits.
Ulf Moller
* More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
Ulf Moller
* ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
Andy Polyakov
* Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
Ulf Moller
* Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
options to produce them.
Steve Henson
* New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
Ulf Moller
* Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
for p == 0.
Ulf Moller
* Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*()
and include a #define from the old name to the new. The original
intent was that statically linked binaries could for example just
call SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table
and not link with digests. This never worked because
SSLeay_add_all_digests() and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the
same source file so calling one would link with the other. They
are now in separate source files.
Steve Henson
* Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
Steve Henson
* Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it
used a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the
Miller-Rabin loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
Bodo Moeller
* Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
Martin Kraemer Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De
* Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate
casts, use void * instead of char * in lhash.
Ulf Moller
* Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable (the
state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
has already seen).
Bodo Moeller
* Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime, using 50
iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime. As
BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
generation becomes much faster.
This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
Bodo Moeller
* New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has an
additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always has to
allocate at least one BN_CTX). 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is
called when a number has passed the trial division stage.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being
handled as ASN1_TIME.
Steve Henson
* New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
Steve Henson
* New function BN_pseudo_rand().
Ulf Moller
* Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and
unreadable) bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the
working code from SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster
anyway), and clean up the comments.
Ulf Moller
* Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello)
that made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data
structure in SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
Bodo Moeller
* The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes
obtained by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the
complete file to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count
was required).
Ulf Moller, Bodo Moller
* Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have
prototypes used char * instead of void * and had casts all over
the place.
Steve Henson
* Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
Ulf Moller
* Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
Rabin-Miller iterations.
Ulf Moller
* Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed
to DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME. (Check if this is true? OpenPGP
calls them "strong".)
Ulf Moller
* Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new
program "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will
handle DH keys (instead of parameters) in future.
Steve Henson
* Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return
values when a new cipher list is set.
Steve Henson
* Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS
56bit ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the
sorting was wrong.
The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support
sorting by cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in
the tables). The new command is @STRENGTH (see also doc/apps/
ciphers.pod).
Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher
command string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor
alphanumeric A-Za-z0-9, ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an
endless loop. Now an error is flagged.
Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I
hope that the readability was also increased :-)

* Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now
uses 1 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial
number file. This avoids problems when the root CA is created
with serial number zero and the first user certificate has the
same issuer name and serial number as the root CA.
Steve Henson
* Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it
uses the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
Steve Henson
* Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3
functions: they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper
functions should be used instead.
So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at
functions when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar
things can be done with PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes,
PKCS#12 attributes and a few other things. Some of these need
some d2i or i2d and print functionality because they handle more
complex structures.)
Steve Henson
* Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building
libssl as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2
instead of NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
Kris Kennaway kris@hub.freebsd.org, modified by Ulf Moller
* Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes()
now has a return value which indicates the quality of the random
data (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the
thread's error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates
output that is guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable.
RAND_add is like RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an
entropy estimate (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
Ulf Moller
* Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test
(specifically, 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12
for 256-bit primes instead of only 2 for all lengths; see
BN_prime_checks_for_size definition in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for
the complete table). This guarantees a false-positive rate of at
most 2^-80 for random input.
Bodo Moeller
* Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
Bodo Moeller
* New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to
X509_CTX_get1_chain in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all the
X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist after
X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c to use this.
Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return code.
Steve Henson
* Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
-nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and only
older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
Steve Henson
* Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
Ulf Moller
* Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
international characters are used.
More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is
sorted in ASN1 order.
Steve Henson
* Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
automation. This will allow an application to just generate a
template file containing all the field values and have req
construct the request.
Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary
with some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave
in a manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
be handled by the string table functions.
Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
is useful when for example there is only one permissible type (as
in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid types
at all.
Steve Henson
* Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished
and SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the
latest Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the
peer, respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the
Finished message actually received from the peer, otherwise the
protocol will be aborted.)
As the Finished message are message digests of the complete
handshake (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL
3.0), they can be used for external authentication procedures
when the authentication provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is
not enough.
Bodo Moeller
* Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
$PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
SHA1.
Andy Polyakov
* Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of
the SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the
first with weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC
a second one with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake
after receiving the server certificate message and sends a second
client hello. Since a server will typically do all the time
consuming operations before expecting any further messages from
the client (server key exchange is the most expensive) there is
little difference between the two.
To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second
client hello message after we have sent server done. In addition
we have to reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
Steve Henson
* Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically
decide if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional
format. Changed d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only
needed for the "traditional" format DER encoded private key.
Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which has the key type
encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key support to
pkcs8 application.
Steve Henson
* SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an
anonymous ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL
3/TLS 1 specifications). Exception: When
SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT is set, we interpret this as a
request to violate the specification (the worst that can happen
is a handshake failure, and 'correct' behaviour would result in a
handshake failure anyway).
Bodo Moeller
* In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be
multiple SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g.
when two threads concurrently obtain them from an external
cache). The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a
given ID, so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one
to achieve consistency.
Bodo Moeller
* Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to some
routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
example.
Steve Henson
* Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These
will typically have values the same as the extended key usage
extension and any application specific purposes.
The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions
can be provided to override either the default behaviour or the
behaviour for a given id. SSL client, server and email already
have functions in place for compatibility: they check the NID and
also return "trusted" if the certificate is self signed.
Steve Henson
* Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
Steve Henson
* Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts
for a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a
null terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command
line environment or config files in a few more utilities.
Steve Henson
* Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format
private keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and
allow them to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and
pkcs12 utilities. Update documentation.
Steve Henson
* Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by
using ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to
read a NULL and produce an error if it couldn't. For
compatibility we also have ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free()
functions but these are faked and don't allocate anything because
they don't need to.
Steve Henson
* Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
for details.
Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods roy@centicsystems.ca
* Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code
and possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface
that provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of
allocation and deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for
example memory pool implementations, or something else, which was
previously hard since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined
as macros having the values malloc, realloc and free,
respectively (except for Win32 compilations). The same is
provided for memory debugging code. OpenSSL already comes with
functionality to find memory leaks, but this gives people a
chance to debug other memory problems.
With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have
appeared:
CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F] CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F] CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the
library is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If
someone wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init()
(which gives the standard debugging functions that come with
OpenSSL) or CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to
use functions provided by the library user) must be used. When
the standard debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options
can be used to request additional information:
CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to
setting the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and
compiler options.
To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
CRYPTO_dbg_malloc() CRYPTO_dbg_realloc() CRYPTO_dbg_free()
All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller
* Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and
there was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1
signature algorithm.
Steve Henson
* Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
Frans Heymans fheymans@isaserver.be, modified by Steve Henson
* Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple S/
MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
included in OpenSSL.
Steve Henson
* Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and the
library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1, have a
cleaner way to pick the version they need.
Bodo Moeller
* New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
PKCS12 structure.
Steve Henson
* Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into
the table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and
X509_PURPOSE_add() functions so they accept a list of the field
values and the application doesn't need to directly manipulate
the X509_TRUST structure.
Steve Henson
* Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and
doesn't need initialising.
Steve Henson
* Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This
now works in a similar way to the object code: we have some
"standard" extensions in a static table which is searched with
OBJ_bsearch() and the application can add dynamic ones if needed.
The file crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file
needs to be updated whenever a new extension is added to the core
code and kept in ext_nid order. There is a simple program
'tabtest.c' which checks this. New extensions are not added too
often so this file can readily be maintained manually.
There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The
extensions can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be
"added" using X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now
does nothing. Side note: I get lots of email saying the extension
code doesn't work because people forget to call this function.
Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are
added: so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to
call X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
Steve Henson
* Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the
default. Add a magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully
instead of just decrypting to garbage. This is because not
salting is a big security hole, so people should be discouraged
from doing it.
Ben Laurie
* Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a
message digest to be passed on the command line but it only used
this parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all
relevant operations are affected by the digest parameter
including the -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also
-x509toreq choked if a DSA key was used because it didn't fix the
digest.
Steve Henson
* Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the
untrusted certificates for consistency with the verify purpose
(which is set when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and
checks the pathlength.
There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old
behaviour: this is because it will reject chains with invalid
extensions whereas every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay
made no checks at all.
Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings.
Trust settings have an initial value consistent with the verify
purpose: e.g. if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it
expects the CA to be trusted for SSL client use. However the
default value can be changed to permit custom trust settings: one
example of this would be to only trust certificates from a
specific "secure" set of CAs.
Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free()
functions which should be used for version portability:
especially since the verify structure is likely to change more
often now.
SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and
functions to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will
verify SSL servers and vice versa.
Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets
the intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then
the new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
Steve Henson
* Support for the authority information access extension.
Steve Henson
* Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle PKCS
#8 format private keys. New PUBKEY functions that handle public
keys in a format compatible with certificate SubjectPublicKeyInfo
structures. Unfortunately there were already functions called
PublicKey which used various odd formats so these are retained
for compatibility: however the DSA variants were never in a
public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled
public keys so we should be OK.
The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same
fiasco that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible
private key formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL
specific and require various evil hacks to allow partial
transparent handling and even then it doesn't work with DER
formats. Given the option anything other than PKCS#8 should be
dumped: but the other formats have to stay in the name of
compatibility.
With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of
key.
Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public
key. Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
(renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and
add EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
supplied key).
Steve Henson
* Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates
and CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no
CRLs: added a new function to read in both types and return the
number read: this means that if none are read it will be an
error. The DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would
always fail because it isn't possible to mix certificates and
CRLs in DER format without choking one or the other routine.
Changed this to just read a certificate: this is the best we can
do. Also modified the code in apps/verify.c to take notice of
return codes: it was previously attempting to read in
certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring any errors: this is
one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed to work. It doesn't
check return codes from the default certificate routines: these
may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
Steve Henson
* Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
Steve Henson
* First update to verify code. Change the verify utility so it
warns if it is passed a self signed certificate: for consistency
with the normal behaviour. X509_verify has been modified to it
will now verify a self signed certificate if exactly the same
certificate appears in the store: it was previously impossible to
trust a single self signed certificate. This means that: openssl
verify ss.pem now gives a warning about a self signed certificate
but openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem is OK.
Steve Henson
* For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
(and add it to external session representation). This is needed
when client certificate verifications fails, but an
application-provided verification callback (set by
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK but
returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set ssl->
verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid security
holes.
Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke
* Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the case in
PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure didn't contain
any existing data because it was being created.
Po-Cheng Chen pocheng@nst.com.tw, slightly modified by Steve
Henson
* Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This forms
the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a -S option to
allow a salt to be input on the command line.
Steve Henson
* New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function to
compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1 hash
and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust code.
Steve Henson
* SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments the
reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
Geoff Thorpe geoff@eu.c2.net
* Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes. Also
change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle certificate
auxiliary information.
Steve Henson
* Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
the 'enc' command.
Steve Henson
* Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string")
adds the string plus current file name and line number to a
per-thread stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious,
CRYPTO_remove_all_info() is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until
the stack is empty. Also updated memory leak detection code to be
multi-thread-safe.
Richard Levitte
* Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
Steve Henson
* Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase to
be included on either the command line (not recommended on OSes
like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the manpages and
fix a few bugs.
Steve Henson
* Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
Steve Henson
* Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
Steve Henson
* Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX() can
still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it will
also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By doing
things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be retained:
existing certificates can have this information added using the
new 'x509' options.
Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
for all purposes.
Steve Henson
* Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or
*BSD). The problem was that one of the replacement routines had
not been working since SSLeay releases. For now the offending
routine has been replaced with non-optimised assembler. Even so,
this now gives around 95% performance improvement for 1024 bit
RSA signs.
Mark Cox
* Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal
to the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5
byte) key. A few however don't do this and instead use the size
of the decrypted key to determine the RC2 key length and the
AlgorithmIdentifier to determine the effective key length. In
this case the effective key length can still be 40 bits but the
key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed by manually
forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the EVP
code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always
assumes the key length and effective key length are equal.
Steve Henson
* Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1,
-1, 0); and have it automatically work out the correct field type
and fill in the structures. The more adventurous can try:
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1,
0); and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte
encoding.
Steve Henson
* Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and
multibyte copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled
in an ad hoc way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and
didn't support BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software
doesn't implement BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be
enabled using the config file using the dirstring_type option.
See the new comment in the default openssl.cnf for more info.
Steve Henson
* Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
+ Assure unique random numbers after fork().
+ Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter
and md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them or
use exactly the same state in multiple threads. Access to the
large state is not always serializable because the additional
locking could be a performance killer, and md should be large
enough anyway.
Bodo Moeller
* New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality for
handling the random seed file.
Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did
not: ca, dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand'
option), s_client, s_server, x509 (when signing). Except on
systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random seed
file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH
exchanges; for RSA signatures we could do without one.
gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as
previously found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by
all programs that support '-rand'.
Bodo Moeller
* In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files; don't just
chmod when it may be too late.
Bodo Moeller
* Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations when
X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
Bill Perry
* New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
is suitable.
Steve Henson
* Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library
can use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl
utility) should NOT in order to be "shared library friendly".
Steve Henson
* Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently VERY
EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to print
out all the purposes.
Steve Henson
* Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
functions.
Steve Henson
* New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will
search for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its
critical flag. This allows all the necessary extension code to be
handled in a single function call.
Steve Henson
* RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
Andy Polyakov
* New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be
produced its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to
extract data from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
Steve Henson
* Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate
pointer when producing the local key id.
Richard Levitte levitte@stacken.kth.se
* New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file
to be stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the
first server certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded
the filename "server.pem".
Steve Henson
* Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These
allow a public key to be input or output. For example: openssl
rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem Also added necessary DSA
public key functions to handle this.
Steve Henson
* Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are
contained in the message. This was handled by allowing
X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki sampo@mail.neuronio.pt
* Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an
extra null to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This
would cause problems if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were
later modified.
Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper arne@ats.cyber.ee
* Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line
of data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error.
This is caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the
way base64 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do
this by trying a trial decode on each line until they find one
that works. When they do a flag is set and it starts again
knowing it can pass all the data directly through the decoder.
Unfortunately it doesn't reset the context it uses. This means
that if EOF is reached an attempt is made to pass two EOFs
through the context and this causes the resulting error. This can
also cause other problems as well. As is usual with these
problems it takes ages to find and the fix is trivial: move one
line.
Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer)
* Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under
Windows. The old code wouldn't work because it needed to select()
on sockets and the tty (for keypresses and to see if data could
be written). Win32 only supports select() on sockets so we select
() with a 1s timeout on the sockets and then see if any
characters are waiting to be read, if none are present then we
retry, we also assume we can always write data to the tty. This
isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've received a
complete line of data and it is effectively polling the keyboard
at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not working
at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this with
an event loop for example.
Steve Henson
* Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods,
rsa_sign and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is
set these functions will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify
() are used. This is useful if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc()
equivalents are not available. For this to work properly
RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt() should not be
used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead. This
necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it
instead of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt
().
Steve Henson
* Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program,
these will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the
signature in a similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl
program so it no longer accesses structures directly. Make the
ASN1 CRL parsing a bit less strict. It will now permit CRL
extensions even if it is not a V2 CRL: this will allow it to
tolerate some broken CRLs.
Steve Henson
* Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the
openssl sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be
started multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller
* Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto
without removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA
does). This is so (for example) those in the US can disable those
operations covered by the RSA patent while allowing storage and
parsing of RSA keys and RSA key generation.
Steve Henson
* Non-copying interface to BIO pairs. (still largely untested)
Bodo Moeller
* New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a
descriptive ASCII string. This was handled independently in
various places before.
Steve Henson
* New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
UTF8 strings a character at a time.
Steve Henson
* Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
(s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
(s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
Bodo Moeller
* Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were
previously handled by poking round in the structure internals.
Added new function NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a
new utility 'spkac' to print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based
on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
madwolf@comune.modena.it but extensively modified.
Steve Henson
* RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make
test'.
Andy Polyakov
* Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
madwolf@comune.modena.it. The new option is called -extensions
and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl
extensions in ca.
Steve Henson
* Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for
example: 1.OU="Unit name 1" 2.OU="Unit name 2" this is the same
syntax as used in the req config file.
Steve Henson
* Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests.
These are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req
section of the config file. They can be printed out with the
-text option to req but are otherwise ignored at present.
Steve Henson
* Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the
first data read consists of only the final block it would not
decrypted because EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero
bytes had been decrypted. A misplaced 'break' also meant the
decrypted final block might not be copied until the next read.
Steve Henson
* Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also
added a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be
useful if for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42
DH.
Steve Henson
* Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD
and provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or
functions on a "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows
hardware acceleration and hardware key storage to be handled
without major modification to the library. Also added low level
modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and associated functions.
Steve Henson
* Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks
the BIO as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it
points to will not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much
more efficient than a normal memory BIO. This was added because
there are several times when an area of memory needs to be read
from a BIO. The previous method was to create a memory BIO and
write the data to it, this results in two copies of the data and
an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new function
BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from an
area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read
only memory BIOs.
Steve Henson
* Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called
in state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
Bodo Moeller
* The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type
as NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this
should almost always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the
PKCS7_set_type() to handle the encrypted data type: this is a
more sensible place to put it and it allows the PKCS#12 code to
be tidied up that duplicated this functionality.
Steve Henson
* Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files
on the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection
problems under Win32.
Steve Henson
* Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are
included in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included
functions to allow extensions to be obtained and added.
Steve Henson
* -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
CRLF (as required by many protocols).
Bodo Moeller
Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
* Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* A few more #ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif pairs for consistency.
Andrija Antonijevic TheAntony2@bigfoot.com
* Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
program.
Steve Henson
* New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the
resulting DH parameters contain its length).
For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
utter importance to use SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx,
SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE); or SSL_set_options(s_ctx,
SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE); when such DH parameters are used, because
otherwise small subgroup attacks may become possible!
Bodo Moeller
* Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
Bodo Moeller
* Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple
recipients.
Steve Henson
* New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is
set then it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even
if it has a short or long name.
Steve Henson
* Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the
rsa_mod_exp method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp
components were present, otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the
case of hardware keys for example no private key components need
be present and it might store extra data in the RSA structure,
which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp. By setting
RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for private
key operations.
Steve Henson
* Added support for SPARC Linux.
Andy Polyakov
* pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from typedef
int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag); to ....
(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata); so that
applications can pass data to their callbacks: The PEM[_ASN1]_
{read,write}... functions and macros now take an additional void
* argument, which is just handed through whenever the password
callback is called.
Damien Miller dmiller@ilogic.com.au; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller
New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function
arguments onto the stack in reverse order, the new library
version is likely to interoperate with programs that have been
compiled with the old pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever
takes some data that happens to be on the stack as its last
argument, and the callback just ignores this garbage); but there
is no guarantee whatsoever that this will work.
* The -DPLATFORM=""$(PLATFORM)"" definition and the similar
-DCFLAGS=... (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/
cversion.c) caused problems not only on Windows, but also on some
Unix platforms. To avoid problematic command lines, these
definitions are now in an auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h
(created by crypto/Makefile.ssl for standard "make" builds, by
util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
Bodo Moeller
* MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
Andy Polyakov
* More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
delete an unused file.
Ulf Moller
* Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to
obtain. This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK
and pass all the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
Steve Henson
* Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1
connections without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the
server key, and connections with temporary keys did not free
everything in case of an error.
Bodo Moeller
* New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check for
verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller
* Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/
unsigned comparison" warnings.
3. Add sk__sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
Steve Henson
* Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
derived keys are printed to stderr.
Steve Henson
* Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
Roman E. Pavlov pre@mo.msk.ru
* The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't
match.
It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the
signing key: the verifying software was then supposed to
automatically use the CA's parameters if they were absent from
the end user certificate.
Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour
in EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
This meant that parameters were omitted when they didn't match
and the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca'
didn't have this bug.
Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson Doug.Erickson@Part.NET
* Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems. The
interface is as follows: Applications can use CRYPTO_mem_ctrl
(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(), CRYPTO_mem_ctrl
(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop(); "off" is now the
default. The library internally uses CRYPTO_mem_ctrl
(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(), CRYPTO_mem_ctrl
(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on() to disable
memory-checking temporarily.
Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
even the default) are now avoided.
-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current
time with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more
helpful than just having a counter.
-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
extensions.
Bodo Moeller
* Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API
behaviour, whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
Initial "mode" flags are:
SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success
when a single record has been written.
SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
retries use the same buffer location. (But all of the contents
must be copied!)
Bodo Moeller
* Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only
SSL_CTX_set_options worked.
* Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
Ulf Moller, pointed out by Brian Wellington bwelling@tislabs.com
* New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without
having to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
Steve Henson
* Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime. Also really
enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some test programs.
Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller
* Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can
mess up the length of negative integers. This has now been
simplified to just store the length when it is first determined
and use it later, rather than trying to keep track of where data
is copied and updating it to point to the end. Steve Henson,
reported by Brien Wheeler bwheeler@authentica-security.com
* Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the
verification of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing
certificate passed to the function itself. This contrasts with
PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the certificate is present in the
PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the case: certificates can be
omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be distributed by "out of
band" means (such as a certificate database).
Steve Henson
* Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace
the function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to
add the necessary function names.
Steve Henson
* mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
was not even able to write more than one option correctly. Fixed,
now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
Bodo Moeller
* New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a
config file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO
version will for example allow memory BIOs to contain config
info.
Steve Henson
* New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across
versions must use this, not the compile-time macro. (Exercise
0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by such
programs?) Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded
programs, others don't need locks.
Bodo Moeller
* Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL
tests through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e. SSLerr
(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
Bodo Moeller
* New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that
applications can use the SSL library even if none of the specific
BIOs is appropriate.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong
value for the encoded length.
Jeon KyoungHo khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr
* Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
Steve Henson
* Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the
more secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration
count.
Steve Henson
* Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5 directory
in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly
speaking wrong with it but it was very old and did things like
calling PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to
mention some unusual formatting.
Steve Henson
* Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions,
changed to use the new extension code.
Steve Henson
* Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/
pem_all.c with macros. This should make it easier to change their
form, add extra arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which
didn't have cipher as a constant.
Steve Henson
* Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an
alternative name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need
this for NeXTstep, according to Mark Crispin MRC@Panda.COM.
Bodo Moeller
* DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
Ben Laurie lse des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but
des_ncbc_encrypt does. Changing the behaviour of the former might
break existing programs -- where IV updating is needed,
des_ncbc_encrypt can be used. ndif
* When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal
check fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or
make test carries on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
Ben Laurie
* DES library cleanups.
Ulf Moller
* Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS
#8 to be used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at
most handle 64 bit ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation
function has been verified against some published test vectors it
has not been extensively tested yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option
to pkcs8 application to allow the use of v2.0.
Steve Henson
* Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new Perl
script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
Bodo Moeller
* Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It
used to assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a
PBEParameter structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and
PKCS#12 PBE algorithms but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it
can be something else. Now the 'parameter' field of the
AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the underlying key generation
function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing. This has also
changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count
values and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been
deleted.
Steve Henson
* Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption
algorithms and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application
linked to openssl. Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value
which was just "PRIVATE KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8
unencrypted string. Since this value was just used as a "magic
string" and not used directly its value doesn't matter.
Steve Henson
* Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C
doesn't support mutable.
Ben Laurie
* "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
Ray Miller ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk "linux-sparc" configuration.
Christian Forster fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de
* config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
Ulf Moller
* Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress). File
ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
Martin Kraemer Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De
* Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
Martin Kraemer Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De
* Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
Ben Laurie
* Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
Ben Laurie
* Additional typesafe stacks.
Ben Laurie
* New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
Bodo Moeller
Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
* New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
* Updated some demos.
Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine
* Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
Wu Zhigang
* Fix memory leak in conf.c.
Steve Henson
* Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
Steve Henson
* Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it instead
of using a fixed path.
Bodo Moeller
* SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
Andy Polyakov
* Improvements for VMS support.
Richard Levitte
Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
* Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now! This also
avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
Andy Polyakov appro@fy.chalmers.se
* New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous
macros. These are required because of the typesafe stack would
otherwise break existing code. If old code used a structure
member which used to be STACK and is now STACK_OF (for example
cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with sk_num or sk_value it
would produce an error because the num, data members are not
present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value (e.g.
sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any
code that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set
instead) but this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour
anyway.
Steve Henson
* Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can
now correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
Steve Henson
* Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
(which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
Bodo Moeller
* Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more
obvious problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches
recipient certificate and initialise the ASN1 structures properly
based on passed cipher.
Steve Henson
* Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
Ben Laurie
* Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and
conversion to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New
compilation option NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken
certificates that encode public key elements as negative
integers.
Steve Henson
* Reorganize and speed up MD5.
Andy Polyakov appro@fy.chalmers.se
* VMS support.
Richard Levitte richard@levitte.org
* New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the
-strparse option to examine the output of things like OCTET
STRINGS.
Steve Henson
* Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any
longer that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before SSL_
{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted in
many applications because usually everything appeared to work as
intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
Bodo Moeller
* Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
Ulf Moller
* Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass "egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
-Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline" with EGCS
1.1.2+
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
Sebastian Akerman sak@parallelconsulting.com, modified by Steve
* Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->
[default_]cert any longer when s->cert does not give us what we
need). ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change. As
soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL
structures.
Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
in different behaviour than observed with earlier library
versions: Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done
s = SSL_new(ctx) does not influence s as it used to.
In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT that
holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is the
peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's
certificate and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that
can have meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
Bodo Moeller
* New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION
structure from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes:
remove some evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly
based on the signing key type.
Steve Henson
* Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the
environment variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for
consistency with 'req' and 'x509').
Steve Henson
* Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document
'x509' extension option.
Steve Henson
* Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc
-pedantic, without disallowing inline assembler and the like for
non-pedantic builds.
Ben Laurie
* Support Borland C++ builder.
Janez Jere jj@void.si, modified by Ulf Moller
* Support Mingw32.
Ulf Moller
* SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
Andy Polyakov appro@fy.chalmers.se
* Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
Andy Polyakov appro@fy.chalmers.se
* Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
Ulf Moller
* Update HPUX configuration.
Anonymous
* Add missing sk__unshift() function to safestack.h
Ralf S. Engelschall
* New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
"extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
DER-encoded.)
Bodo Moeller
* Support verify_depth from the SSL API. x509_vfy.c had what can be
considered an off-by-one-error: Its depth (which was not part of
the external interface) was actually counting the number of
certificates in a chain; now it really counts the depth.
Bodo Moeller
* Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
messages since the error codes are not globally unique (e.g. an
alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate didn't match the
private key).
* New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a
default value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context
for each connection using the SSL_CTX).
Bodo Moeller
* OAEP decoding bug fix.
Ulf Moller
* Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by David
Harris.
Bodo Moeller
* New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
and Linux), "threads" is the default.
Bodo Moeller
* New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/
mklink.sh.
Bodo Moeller
* Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to $
(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories such as /
usr/local/bin.
Bodo Moeller
* "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
Niels Poppe niels@netbox.org
* New Configure option no- (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
Ulf Moller
* Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary
support for extension adding in x509 utility.
Steve Henson
* Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
Ulf Moller
* Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
prototypes.
Steve Henson
* New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
Ulf Moller
* Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now
handled by one script at the top level which handles error code
gathering, header rewriting and C source file generation. It
should be much better than the old method: it now uses a modified
version of Ulf's parser to read the ANSI prototypes in all header
files (thus the old K&R definitions aren't needed for error
creation any more) and do a better job of translating function
codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code embedded in a comment'
is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which have
now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear
all on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
Steve Henson
* Change #include filenames from to .
Bodo Moeller
* Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't
return 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but
continue reading.
Bodo Moeller
* Fix some race conditions.
Bodo Moeller
* Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add
Certificate Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
Steve Henson
* Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
Ulf Moller
* Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes
instead of 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed
interop with this fix between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and
J/SSL 2.0.
Merlin Hughes merlin@baltimore.ie
* Fix lots of warnings.
Richard Levitte levitte@stacken.kth.se
* In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop
if the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
Richard Levitte levitte@stacken.kth.se
* Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
Andy Polyakov appro@fy.chalmers.se
* Change functions to ANSI C.
Ulf Moller
* Fix typos in error codes.
Martin Kraemer Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De, Ulf Moller
* Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
Ulf Moller
* SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
Andy Polyakov appro@fy.chalmers.se
* Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
Steve Henson
* A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline()
that could return a const string when you are expecting an
allocated buffer.
Ben Laurie
* Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the
CHOICE types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
Steve Henson
* Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration
database, add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper
functions.
Steve Henson
* Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions
to fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
Steve Henson
* Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify
mkdef.pl to support typesafe stack.
Steve Henson
* Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
Nils Frostberg nils@medcom.se
* Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now
obsolete) old X509V3 handling code.
Steve Henson
* New Configure option "rsaref".
Ulf Moller
* Don't auto-generate pem.h.
Bodo Moeller
* Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
Ben Laurie
* Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF()
variants.
Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson
* Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots
of code that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of
warnings), but fear not: the conversion is trivial, and it
eliminates loads of evil casts. A few STACKed things have been
converted already. Feel free to convert more. In the fullness of
time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
Ben Laurie
* Add openssl ca -revoke facility which revokes a
certificate specified in by updating the entry in the
index.txt file. This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt
file manually for revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does
the gory details now.
Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org, Ralf S. Engelschall
* Fix openssl crl -noout -text combination where -noout killed the
-text option at all and this way the -noout -text combination was
inconsistent in openssl crl with the friends in openssl x509|rsa|
dsa.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
verify callback function determined that a certificate was
revoked.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test openssl for ciphers
that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test all available
ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now. In order to
let the testing shell script know which algorithms are available,
a new (up to now undocumented) command openssl
list-cipher-commands is used.
Bodo Moeller
* Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when it
should have checked SSL_pending() first.
Bodo Moeller
* New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
Ulf Moller
* Tweaks to Configure
Niels Poppe niels@netbox.org
* Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other
support, yet...
Steve Henson
* New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
Ulf Moller
* New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the
80386. The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
Ulf Moller
* Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
Bodo Moeller
* New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
Bodo Moeller
* Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
application. Various cleanups and fixes.
Steve Henson
* More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with
Makefile.ssl and modify error routines to work internally. Add
error codes and PBE init to library startup routines.
Steve Henson
* Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption,
PKCS#8 and packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function
names and error codes along the way.
Steve Henson
* PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches
to slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#
12 objects to objects.h
Steve Henson
* Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial
ASN1 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
Steve Henson
* Add LinuxPPC support.
Jeff Dubrule igor@pobox.org
* Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
bn_div_words in alpha.s.
Hannes Reinecke H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk and Ben Laurie
* Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
Ulf Moeller ulf@fitug.de
* Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
Soren S. Jorvang soren@t.dk
Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
* Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it
still doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
Ben Laurie
* Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the
wrong context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software
that uses client certs and session caches in multiple contexts
NEEDS PATCHING to allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in
the works.
Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and
???)
* Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files crypto/bf/
asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the
INSTALL document.
Ulf Moeller ulf@fitug.de
* Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
Malloc, Free.
Lennart Bang lob@netstream.se, with minor changes by Steve
* Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
Ulf Moeller ulf@fitug.de
* Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd
be nice if someone would make that last step automatic.
Matthias Loepfe Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH
* ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make
links". Fixed.
Ben Laurie
* Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means
"everything except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher
list will no longer enable NULL ciphers. They need to be
specifically enabled e.g. with the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
Steve Henson
* Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen
with externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay)
ensure p > q.
Steve Henson
* Be less restrictive and allow also perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to
/bin/perl in addition to perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin,
because this way one can also use an interpreter named perl5
(which is usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an
Perl 4.x is still installed as perl).
Matthias Loepfe Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch
* Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x
versions.
Matthias Loepfe Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch
* Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison to
fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener kroneru@yahoo.com for the
suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in
evp.h and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
Steve Henson
* DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
Ben Laurie
* Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix
up the Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32
test batch file is horrible: I feel ill....
Steve Henson
* Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now
selected in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non
ANSI sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and
not exported from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new
functions.
Steve Henson
* Make openssl version output lines consistent.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and
BIO_set_ex_data to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least
compiled fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now
added. But the whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a
README.1ST with a disclaimer was added to make sure no one
expects that this stuff really works in the OpenSSL 0.9.2
release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources up and
fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs}
and openssl_bio.xs.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
Kenji Miyake kenji@miyake.org, integrated by Ben Laurie
* Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
John Tobey jtobey@channel1.com
* Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
Ben Laurie
* Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in
openssl.cnf. Currently only issuerAltName and
AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense in CRLs.
Steve Henson
* Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify
compiler and other platforms details on the command line without
having to patch the Configure script every time: One now can use
perl Configure :, i.e. platform ids are allowed to
have details appended to them (separated by colons). This is
treated as there would be a static pre-configured entry in
Configure's %table under key with value and perl
Configure is called. So, when you want to perform a quick
test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without assembler
stuff you can use perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::" now,
which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official
yet.
Ben Laurie
* Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified on
the perl Configure ... command line. This way one can compile
OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is
needed for linking it into DSOs.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had
noticed! Fixed.
Ben Laurie
* Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any
license questions now is the OpenSSL core team under
openssl-core@openssl.org. And add a paragraph about the
dual-license situation to make sure people recognize that BOTH
the OpenSSL license AND the SSLeay license apply to the OpenSSL
toolkit.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* General source tree makefile cleanups: Made making xxx in yyy...
display consistent in the source tree and replaced /bin/rm by rm.
Additionally cleaned up the make links target: Remove unnecessary
semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into
mklink.sh to speed processing and no longer clutter the display
with confusing stuff. Instead only the actually done links are
displayed.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication
only. It used to be necessary to set the preprocessor define
SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this. It is now necessary to set
SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null encryption.
Ben Laurie
* Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes
reorder signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would
break them), the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys
obtained using X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
Steve Henson
* Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a
work around to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the
password read stuff: the last character typed gets carried over
to the next fread(). If you were generating a new cert request
using 'req' for example then the last character of the passphrase
would be CR which would then enter the first field as blank.
Steve Henson
* Added the new 'Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the
old SSLeay button and can be used by applications based on
OpenSSL to show the relationship to the OpenSSL project.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files ssl/
ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
Lennart Bong lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se
* Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
Lennart Bong lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se
* Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can
handle functions that return function pointers and has support
for NT specific stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT
differences also. Various #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about
the place and some changes from unsigned to signed types: this
was killing the Win32 compile.
Steve Henson
* Add new certificate file to stack functions,
SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs
easily to a stack (usually this is then handed to
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()). This means that Apache-SSL and
similar packages don't have to mess around to add as many CAs as
they want to the preferred list.
Ben Laurie
* Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially
applied to ssl/ssl_lib.c. See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/
doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with openssl.doxy as the
configuration file.
Ben Laurie
* Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers
hate.
Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual
* Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is
not compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
Steve Henson
* Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary
RSA and DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly
correspond to their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a
per-connection basis. This is needed for applications which have
to configure certificates on a per-connection basis (e.g.
Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis (e.g. s_server).
For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but for
the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed
because the temporary keys were not overtaken from the context
and the API provided no way to reconfigure them. The new
functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they are
in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback.
Additionally a new non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate()
is used as a helper function and also to reduce code redundancy
inside ssl_rsa.c.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented
feature area because they are useful for the DSA situation and
should be recognized by the users.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export
bits are not within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are
within SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used
instead of the already masked variable.
Richard Levitte levitte@stacken.kth.se
* Fix port variable from int to unsigned int in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
Richard Levitte levitte@stacken.kth.se
* Change type of another md_len variable in
pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal() from int to unsigned int because it
is a length and initialized by EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an
unsigned int *.
Richard Levitte levitte@stacken.kth.se
* Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of
Configure script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition
trick.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Make openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA
certificates (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the
behaviour of openssl dsa -noout -modulus as it's already the case
for openssl rsa -noout -modulus. For RSA the -modulus is the real
"modulus" while for DSA currently the public key is printed (a
decision which was already done by openssl dsa -modulus in the
past) which serves a similar purpose. Additionally the NO_RSA no
longer completely removes the whole -modulus option; it now only
avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA now, too.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted,
block-digested BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more
info.
Arne Ansper arne@ats.cyber.ee
* Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw
OIDs to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects
defined in the config file.
Steve Henson
* Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
Arne Ansper arne@ats.cyber.ee, integrated by Ben Laurie
* Add support for new TLS ciphersuites,
TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export
Cipher Suites For TLS",
draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
Ben Laurie
* Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
Steve Henson
* Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
Ulf Moeller ulf@fitug.de
* Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
Ben Laurie
* Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial
support for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
Steve Henson
* Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for
private key usage extension and fuller support for authority key
id.
Steve Henson
* Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the
improved padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new
applications in PKCS #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998). OAEP
(Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is
secure against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA. Ulf Moeller
ulf@fitug.de, reformatted, corrected and integrated by Ben Laurie
* Updates to the new SSL compression code
Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark
Cox)
* Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to
SSLv3 (because the server will not accept higher), that the
version number is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark
Cox)
* Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL commands. Fixed lots of
memory leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour.
Also fixes in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/
dsa_vrf.c.
Steve Henson
* Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
an example.
Steve Henson
* Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C
array code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl
script.
Lars Weber 3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de
* Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles
since not many people have the assembler. Various Win32
compilation fixes and update to the INSTALL.W32 file with
(hopefully) more accurate Win32 build instructions.
Steve Henson
* Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create
crypto/date.h file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org.
New script util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on
environments that can't do a 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >
MINFO should work.
Steve Henson
* Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of
correctness and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated,
and some weirdness, too. You may find this causes warnings in
your code. Zapping your evil casts will probably fix them.
Mostly.
Ben Laurie
* Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
"end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
so it wasn't spotted.
Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA eabalea@certplus.com
* Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output
Feedback Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best
I have been able to do is check that the decrypt undoes the
encrypt, so far. Send me test vectors if you have them.
Ben Laurie
* Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much
space was allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
Ben Laurie
* Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The
usage message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl"
on its command line). There is also now an "update" option. This
will update the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with
any new functions. If you do a: perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl
update it will update them.
Steve Henson
* Overhauled the Perl interface:
+ ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
+ made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
+ renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still
contain their history because I've copied them in the
repository)
+ removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced by
better Test::Harness variants in the future)
Ralf S. Engelschall
* First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt where
we collect the old documents and readme texts.
2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we
no longer need them because of three reasons: either they are
just temporary files which were left by Eric or they are
preserved original files where I've verified that the diff is
also available in the CVS via "cvs diff -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or
they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for the
crypto/md/ stuff).
Ralf S. Engelschall
* More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer
alt name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function
parameters and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX
structure: guess what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which
messed up IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for
ENUMERATED.
Steve Henson
* Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied
from the INTEGER code.
Steve Henson
* Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of
memcpy.
Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark
Cox)
* Make sure make rehash target really finds the openssl program.
Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch
* Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a
P2. I'd like to hear about it if this slows down other
processors.
Ben Laurie
* Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
Alan Batie batie@aahz.jf.intel.com
* Fixed ms/32all.bat script: no_asm -> no-asm
Rainer W. Gerling gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de
* New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
Steve Henson
* Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix
a few typos.
Steve Henson
* Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define
BN_RECURSION but the BN code had some problems that would cause
failures when doing certificate verification and some other
functions.
Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark
Cox)
* Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
Steve Henson
* Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
Steve Henson
* Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
Steve Henson
* Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
Steve Henson
* More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to
'req' and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds
appropriate CA extensions.
Steve Henson
* Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with
the error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509
application.
Steve Henson
* Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support
code. Add files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/
x509v3/old. All this stuff is currently isolated and isn't even
compiled yet.
Steve Henson
* Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and
CRL ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use
ASN1_TIME_print. Removed the versions check from X509 routines
when loading extensions: this allows certain broken certificates
that don't set the version properly to be processed.
Steve Henson
* Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet
Another Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local
dependencies, which can still be regenerated with "make depend".
Ben Laurie
* Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us
* Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers,
only adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err
files if new codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to
only insert errors when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying
header files). This is done by only inserting errors if the .err
file is newer than the auto generated C file. To rebuild all the
error codes from scratch (the old behaviour) either modify crypto
/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl or delete
all the .err files.
Steve Henson
* CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C
version has been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions
are also fixed, but new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR
WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing to regenerate it if needed. Ben
Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
Hagino itojun@kame.net
* File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
Ulf Moller ulf@fitug.de
* Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and
print functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of
UTCTime or GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in
certificates et al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this
patch adds new error codes so do a "make errors" if there are
problems.
Steve Henson
* Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
Ulf Moller ulf@fitug.de
* Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
Anonymous nobody@replay.com
* Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory.
Also generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to
indicate an error, but didn't set one).
Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous nobody@replay.com
* Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at
last.
Ben Laurie
* Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the
correct parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off
the Win32 compile.
Steve Henson
* Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
Neil Costigan neil.costigan@celocom.com
* The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a
nid based on a text string, looking up short and long names and
finally "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added
new function OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT
and rewrote OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return
objects even if the OID is not part of the table.
Steve Henson
* Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
Ben Laurie
* Sort openssl functions by name.
Ben Laurie
* Get the gendsa command working and add it to the list command.
Remove encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is
interested the password was "1234").
Steve Henson
* Make all *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
Frans Heymans fheymans@isaserver.be
* If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to
use NULL pointers.
Anonymous nobody@replay.com
* s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own
cert.
Bodo Moeller 3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de
* Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
Bodo Moeller 3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de
* Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
Anonymous nobody@replay.com
* Add prototype for temp key callback functions SSL_CTX_set_tmp_
{rsa,dh}_callback().
Ben Laurie
* Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like
RSA_free() and DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for
errors in d2i_PublicKey().
Steve Henson
* X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
Arne Ansper arne@ats.cyber.ee
* rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
Arne Ansper arne@ats.cyber.ee
* BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
Arne Ansper arne@ats.cyber.ee
* BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
Arne Ansper arne@ats.cyber.ee
* Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is
initialized in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this
variable is still unused in the certificate verification process.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Fix the various library and apps/ files to free up pkeys obtained
from X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle
netscape extensions.
Steve Henson
* Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes demos/
maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
Steve Henson and Ben Laurie
* First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the ssleay program is now
named openssl and second, the shortcut symlinks for the openssl
are no longer created. This way we have a single and
consistent command line interface openssl , similar to
cvs .
Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie
* ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
Steve Henson
* Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
Steve Henson
* Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
Paul Sutton
* Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
* Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
Ben Laurie
* Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
Ben Laurie
* Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
Ben Laurie
* Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library
number global and can add a library name. This is needed for
external ASN1 and other error libraries.
Steve Henson
* Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
Steve Henson
* Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can
now be read in.
Steve Henson
* Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/
xxx.doc) into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the
information is still preserved but no longer messes up this
directory. Now it's new room for the new set of documentation
files.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because
they shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same.
This means that almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs
has either changed name or number of arguments.
Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan gp@nsj.co.jp
* Fix test data to work with the above.
Ben Laurie
* Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b
but was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Moller ulf@fitug.de
* Autodetect FreeBSD3.
Ben Laurie
* Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following
platforms: nextstep ncr-scde unixware-2.0 unixware-2.0-pentium
sco5-cc.
Ben Laurie
* Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate
files before they are needed.
Ben Laurie
* Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
Ben Laurie
Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
* Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and changed
SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
Ralf S. Engelschall

Paul Sutton
* Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under
compile-time because the symlink to include/ was missing.
Ralf S. Engelschall
* Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches which allow to
compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall
* Fixed nasty rehash problem under make -f Makefile.ssl links when
"ssleay" is still not found.
Ralf S. Engelschall

Ralf S. Engelschall
* Added various platform portability fixes.
Mark J. Cox
