OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f-fips [xx XXX xxxx]
*) Add option --with-fipslibdir to specify location of fipscanister.lib
and friends. When combined with fips build option fipscanister.lib is
not built but linked from the supplied directory. Always link fips
utilities against fiscanister.lib only except in fipsdso builds.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add SSE2 instruction support to WIN32 build. These will be compiled
by default and used if an appopriate CPU is detected. Some older versions
of NASM or MASM which don't support SSE2 will need to be updated.
[Steve Henson]
*) Tolerate DigestInfo structure with absent parameters in FIPS mode
(as required by several standards).
[Steve Henson]
*) Enhance mkfipsscr.pl to cope with different directory layouts. It now
relies on the filename and makes no assumptions about the pathname.
In the case of PSS it scans the file to determine the salt length.
Paths can be filtered. Also reports duplicate and missing files.
[Steve Henson]
*) Updates to WIN32 build system. Make use of AES assembly language routines.
Use assembly language routines in FIPS compilation.
[Steve Henson]
*) Use standard implementations of SHAx, DES, AES under crypto/ in FIPS
mode to avoid having to maintain two versions. This will also make use
of appropriate assembly language optimizations.
[Steve Henson]
*) Check for selftest status in all crypto operations and exit with a
fatal error if selftest failed.
[Steve Henson]
*) New flag in EVP_CIPHER: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1. This will
automatically use EVP_CIPHER_{get,set}_asn1_iv and avoid the
need for any ASN1 dependencies in FIPS library. Move AES and 3DES
cipher definitions to fips library and modify AES and 3DES algorithm
tests and self tests to use EVP.
[Steve Henson]
*) Move EVP cipher code into enc_min.c to support a minimal implementation
for use by FIPS applications.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add algorithm config module. Currently just handles setting FIPS mode.
[Steve Henson]
*) Rewrite self tests and pairwise tests to use EVP. Add more extensive
self tests for RSA in all digests and modes.
[Steve Henson]
*) New flags RSA_FIPS_METHOD and DSA_FIPS_METHOD to indicate a method is
allowed in FIPS mode. Disable direct low level RSA and DSA signature
operations in FIPS mode so all operations have to be made via EVP.
[Steve Henson]
*) New flag EVP_MD_FLAG_SVCTX which passes EVP_MD_CTX and key to underlying
sign/verify method. This permits the method to perform finalization
and signing itself and have access to the EVP_MD_CTX structure in case
additional parameters are needed. Modify fips_{dsa,rsa}_{sign,verify}
to use EVP_MD_FLAG_SVCTX and support PSS and X9.31 RSA modes.
Modify RSA algorithm test programs to use new parameters.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add small standalone ASN1 encoder/decoder to handle DSA signature format.
Modify test, algorithm test and selftest routines to use EVP for DSA.
Move FIPS implementation of EVP_sha*() and EVP_dss1() under fips-1.0.
[Steve Henson]
*) Modify VC++ build system to rename .text and .rdata segments in
FIPS sources to .fipst${a,b,c}, and $fipsr${a,b,c} and place them
in a static library fipscanister.lib using a perl script. These are
then combined by the VC++ linker into a single segment in suffix
order but without the suffix (i.e. .fipstx, .fipsrd and .fipsda).
This serves the same purpose as fipscanister.o on other platforms
but has the advantage that it can be created using only standard VC++
utilities.
[Steve Henson and Andy Polyakov]
*) Modify WIN32 build system to forward references functions implemented
in FIPS DLL.
[Steve Henson]
*) Move error library so that all lhash dependencies are in a separate
file. Include a simplified ERR_get_state() function for stand alone
FIPS applications. Include a initialization function OPENSSL_init()
to set all callbacks, automatically call OPENSSL_init() once when
a cipher or digest is added. This should mean that almost all applications
set the callbacks automatically. Exceptional cases can call OPENSSL_init()
manually like this:
#ifdef OPENSSL_HAVE_INIT
OPENSSL_init();
#endif
before starting any threads.
[Steve Henson]
*) Collect common functions into header file "fips_utl.h".
[Steve Henson]
*) Only enable dynamic lock functionality in CRYPTO_lock() when it is really
needed. Move some lock functionality into new file dyn_lck.c .
This further reduces FIPS dependencies allowing the complete removal
of STACK and OBJ_bsearch().
[Steve Henson]
*) Reduce FIPS test program dependencies by providing stand alone
versions of some existing functions in libcrypto. Avoid use
of BIOs by converting to system stdio. Move some functions in FIPS
files: e.g. all use of BIO_printf().
[Steve Henson]
*) Modify build of libcrypto in FIPS mode by using a perl
script "arx.pl" which calls the archiver specifically
excluding any FIPS dependencies in libcrypto.
[Steve Henson]
*) Port OpenSSL 0.9.7 FIPS code to 0.9.8. Convert to new
Makefile form. Update Configure. Convert and update
FIPS source files. Update libcrypto, libssl and apps
with additional functionality from 0.9.7 FIPS code.
Update Windows build system.
[Steve Henson]
Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [23 Feb 2007]
*) 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 the
modulus. 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.
Similary, 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)]

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.
Similary, 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.

*) 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]
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.

[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 occured 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 compresssion 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 <[email protected]>]
*) 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.
[Steve Henson]
Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
[NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
*) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the 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 <[email protected]]
*) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
libraries. Use DES_crypt().
[Richard Levitte]
*) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
this only applies when building 'shared'.
[Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> and Geoff Thorpe]
*) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
- automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
- add new function for parameter creation
- introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
BN_BLINDING parameters
- hide BN_BLINDING structure
Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
threads.
[Nils Larsch]
*) Add support for DTLS.
[Nagendra Modadugu <[email protected]> and Ben Laurie]
*) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
[Walter Goulet]
*) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
[Nils Larsch]
*) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
the apps/openssl applications.
[Nils Larsch]
*) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
[Ben Laurie]
*) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
"enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
(IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
avoid this algorithm.)
[Bodo Moeller]
*) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
[Richard Levitte]
*) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
[Andy Polyakov]
*) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
pod file:
=for comment openssl_section:XXX
The blank line is mandatory.
[Steve Henson]
*) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
sources.
[Steve Henson]
*) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
update associated structures and add various utility functions.
Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
to support policy checking and print out.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
[Michal Ludvig <[email protected]>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
*) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
[Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
*) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
implementation contributed by IBM.
[Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
*) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
[Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
*) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
(Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
[Steve Henson]
*) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
valid (weak or incorrect parity).
[Steve Henson]
*) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
[Steve Henson]
*) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
syntax:
shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
[Steve Henson]
*) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
"stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
BN_CTX's "bundling".
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
[Steve Henson]
*) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
below).
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
[Richard Levitte]
*) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
initialised value as BN_new().
[Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
*) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
[Steve Henson]
*) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
(in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
[Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
*) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
(and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
(speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
*". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
these have been updated also.
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
functions.
[Steve Henson]
*) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
structure of type "other".
[Steve Henson]
*) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
situation in the script.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
used as premaster secret.
[Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
*) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
curve secp160r1 to the tests.
[Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
*) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
[Götz Babin-Ebell <[email protected]> via Richard Levitte]
*) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
control of the error stack.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
for a function to pass data back to the caller.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
a memory area.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
the following flags are defined:
OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
number.
OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
if there are more than one element where the comparing function
returns zero.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
[Richard Levitte]
*) 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]
*) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
req and dirName.
[Steve Henson]
*) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
[Steve Henson]
*) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
[Steve Henson]
*) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
[Steve Henson]
*) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
default implementation more easily.
[Geoff Thorpe]
*) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
in config files.
[Steve Henson]
*) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
[Richard Levitte]
*) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
