OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
+ 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 apps 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 wont
+ 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 interal 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 paramaters 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
+ funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
+ cihpersuites, 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 enchance 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 prefernce 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 analagous 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.
+ [Zoltán Glózik <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 unrecogninzed_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 seeting 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]

+ [Steve Henson]

+ *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
+ [NTT]
+
+ 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-####)
+ [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley]
+
+ *) 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_wexpend() 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., <openssl/cast.h>): 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 messege 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 detemine
+ the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
+ (CVE-2009-1377)
+ [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
