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)
*) 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)
*) 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)
*) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
level.
*) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
to handle some structures.
*) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
for a '\n'
*) New -hex option for openssl rand.
*) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
*) Support NumericString type for name components.
*) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
chosen compiler.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
*) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
(CVE-2008-5077).
*) 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.)
*) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
*) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
*) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
s_client and s_server.
*) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
*) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
*) 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.)
Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
*) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
(was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
*) 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.
*) 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.
*) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
the load fails. Useful for distros.
*) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
*) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
*) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
This work was sponsored by Logica.
*) 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.
*) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
files.
Two crashes discovered using the Codenomicon TLS test suite, as reported
in CVE-2008-0891 and CVE-2008-1672, were fixed. The root CA certificates
of commercial CAs were removed from the distribution. Functions were added
to implement RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping. Utility functions to
handle ASN1 structures were added. The certificate status request TLS
extension, as defined in RFC3546, was implemented. Several other bugfixes
and enhancements were made.
- Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS handshake
which could lead to a silent crash.
- Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to a remote
crash.
Patches from upstream.
pkgsrc notes:
o Tested on NetBSD/i386 (Jukka Salmi), Mac OSX 10.5 (Adrian Portelli),
Linux (Jeremy C. Reed), Tru64 5.1b (tnn), HP-UX 11i (tnn).
Because the Makefile system has been rewamped, other
platforms may require fixes. Please test if you can.
o OpenSSL can now be built with installation to DESTDIR.
Overview of important changes since 0.9.7i:
o Add gcc 4.2 support.
o DTLS improvements.
o RFC4507bis support.
o TLS Extensions support.
o RFC3779 support.
o New cipher Camellia
o Updated ECC cipher suite support.
o New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().
o Zlib compression usage fixes.
o Major work on the BIGNUM library for higher efficiency and to
make operations more streamlined and less contradictory. This
is the result of a major audit of the BIGNUM library.
o Addition of BIGNUM functions for fields GF(2^m) and NIST
curves, to support the Elliptic Crypto functions.
o Major work on Elliptic Crypto; ECDH and ECDSA added, including
the use through EVP, X509 and ENGINE.
o New ASN.1 mini-compiler that's usable through the OpenSSL
configuration file.
o Added support for ASN.1 indefinite length constructed encoding.
o New PKCS#12 'medium level' API to manipulate PKCS#12 files.
o Complete rework of shared library construction and linking
programs with shared or static libraries, through a separate
Makefile.shared.
o Rework of the passing of parameters from one Makefile to another.
o Changed ENGINE framework to load dynamic engine modules
automatically from specifically given directories.
o New structure and ASN.1 functions for CertificatePair.
o Changed the key-generation and primality testing "progress"
mechanism to take a structure that contains the ticker
function and an argument.
o New engine module: GMP (performs private key exponentiation).
o New engine module: VIA PadLOck ACE extension in VIA C3
Nehemiah processors.
o Added support for IPv6 addresses in certificate extensions.
See RFC 1884, section 2.2.

o New STORE structure and library to provide an interface to all
sorts of data repositories. Supports storage of public and
private keys, certificates, CRLs, numbers and arbitrary blobs.
This library is unfortunately unfinished and unused withing
OpenSSL.
o New control functions for the error stack.
o Changed the PKCS#7 library to support one-pass S/MIME
processing.
o New FIPS 180-2 algorithms (SHA-224, -256, -384 and -512).

built with support for threads. This is done by adding the following
line to the package Makefile before the inclusion of openssl/buildlink3.mk:
USE_FEATURES.openssl= threads
The openssl/builtin.mk file is also adjusted to detect whether or not
the built-in OpenSSL was built with support for threads and the result
is used accordingly to determine whether or not a pkgsrc OpenSSL is
needed.
Mac OS X. This is harmless under recent versions of Mac OS X where
"libdl.dylib" is symbolic link to "libSystem.dylib". And it is necessary
under old versions of Mac OS X (Jaguar and older) where we need the
"libdl.dylib" from the "dlcompat" package.
This should finally fix PR pkg/36086 by John D. Baker.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
