Changes in 3.2.8.1:
Note, that I've realized that this release has issues with the
assembly files in win32 and macosx systems. In these systems
use gnutls 3.2.8.1.
3.2.8:
* Version 3.2.8 (released 2013-12-20)
** libgnutls: Updated code for AES-NI. That prevents an uninitialized
variable complaint from valgrind.
** libgnutls: Enforce a maximum size for DH primes.
** libgnutls: Added SSSE3 optimized SHA1, and SHA256, using Andy Polyakov's
code.
** libgnutls: Added SSSE3 optimized AES using Mike Hamburg's code.
** libgnutls: It only links to librt if the required functions are
not present in libc. This also prevents an indirect linking to libpthread.
** libgnutls: Fixed issue with gnulib strerror replacement by adding
the strerror gnulib module.
** libgnutls: The time provided in the TLS random values is only precise
on its first 3 bytes. That prevents leakage of the precise system
time (at least on the client side when only few connections are
done on a single server).
** certtool: The --verify option will use the system CAs if the
load-ca-certificate option is not provided.
** configure: Added option --with-default-blacklist-file to allow
specifying a certificate blacklist file.
** configure: Added --disable-non-suiteb-curves option. This option
restricts the supported curves to SuiteB curves.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_record_check_corked: Added
* Version 3.2.7 (released 2013-11-23)
** libgnutls: gnutls_cipher_get_iv_size() now returns the correct IV size in
GCM ciphers (previously it returned the implicit IV used in TLS).
** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file() et al when provided
with a PKCS #11 URL pointing to a certificate, will attempt to load the whole
chain.
** libgnutls: When traversing PKCS #11 tokens looking for an object, avoid
looking in unrelated to the object tokens.
** libgnutls: Added an experimental %DUMBFW option in priority strings. This
avoids a black hole behavior in some firewalls by sending a large client hello.
See http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg10423.html
** libgnutls: The GNUTLS_DEBUG_LEVEL variable if set to a log level number
will force output of debug messages to stderr.
** libgnutls: Fixed the setting of the ciphersuite when gnutls_premaster_set()
is used with another protocol than the GNUTLS_DTLS0_9 protocol.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_set_expiration_time() will set the no well defined
expiration date when (time_t)-1 is specified as date.
** libgnutls: Session tickets are encrypted using AES-GCM.
** libgnutls: Corrected issue in record decompression. Issue pinpointed
by Frank Zschockel.
** libgnutls: Forbid all compression methods in DTLS.
** gnutls-serv: Fixed issue with IPv6 address in UDP mode.
** certtool: When exporting an encrypted PEM private key do not output the key
parameters.
** certtool: Expiration days template option allows for a -1 value which
will set to the no well defined expiration date (RFC5280), and no longer
chokes on integer overflows. Suggested by Stefan Buehler.
** certtool: Added new template options: 'activation_date', and
'expiration_date'.
** tools: The environment variable GNUTLS_PIN can be used to read any PIN
requested from tokens.
** tools: The installed version of libopts is used if the autogen tool is
present.
** API and ABI modifications:

(this fixes a bug that was accidentally introduced in 3.2.2)
** libgnutls: Removed gnulib modules under LGPLv3 that could possibly be
used by the library.
** libgnutls: Fixes in gnutls_record_send_range().
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_priority_kx_list: Added
gnutls_priority_mac_list: Added
gnutls_priority_cipher_list: Added
* Version 3.2.2 (released 2013-07-14)
** libgnutls: Several optimizations in the related to packet processing
subsystems.
** libgnutls: DTLS replay detection can now be disabled (to be used
in certain transport layers like SCTP).
** libgnutls: Fixes in SRTP extension generation when MKI is being
used.
** libgnutls: Added ability to set hooks before or after sending or receiving
any handshake message with gnutls_handshake_set_hook_function().

** libgnutls: Use nettle's elliptic curve implementation.
** libgnutls: Added Salsa20 cipher
** libgnutls: Added UMAC-96 and UMAC-128
** libgnutls: Added ciphersuites involving Salsa20 and UMAC-96.
As they are not standardized they are defined using private ciphersuite
numbers.
** libgnutls: Added support for DTLS 1.2.
** libgnutls: Added support for the Application Layer Protocol Negotiation
(ALPN) extension.
** libgnutls: Removed support for the RSA-EXPORT ciphersuites.

* Version 3.1.8 (released 2013-02-10)
** libgnutls: Fixed issue in gnutls_x509_privkey_import2() which didn't return
GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED in all cases, and affect certtool operation
with encrypted keys. Reported by Yan Fiz.
** libgnutls: The minimum DH bits accepted by priorities NORMAL and
PERFORMANCE was set to previous defaults 727 bits. Reported by Diego
Elio Petteno.
** libgnutls: Corrected issue which prevented gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash()
to operate with long keys. Reported by Erik A Jensen.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.1.7 (released 2013-02-04)
** certtool: Added option "dn" which allows to directly set the DN
in a template from an RFC4514 string.
** danetool: Added options: --dlv and --insecure. Suggested by Paul Wouters.
** libgnutls-xssl: Added a new library to simplify GnuTLS usage.
** libgnutls-dane: Added function to specify a DLV file.
** libgnutls: Heartbeat code was made optional.
** libgnutls: Fixes in server side of DTLS-0.9.
** libgnutls: DN variable 'T' was expanded to 'title'.

Issue reported by Kenny Paterson and Nadhem Alfardan.
** libgnutls: Added functions to directly set the DN in a certificate
or request from an RFC4514 string.
** libgnutls: Optimizations in the random generator. The re-seeding of
it is now explicitly done on every session deinit.
** libgnutls: Simplified the DTLS sliding window implementation.
** libgnutls: The minimum DH bits accepted by a client are now set
by the specified priority string. The current values correspond to the
previous defaults (727 bits), except for the SECURE128 and SECURE192
strings which increase the minimum to 1248 and 1776 respectively.
** libgnutls: Added the gnutls_record_cork() and uncork API to enable
buffering in sending application data.
** libgnutls: Removed default random padding, and added a length-hiding interface
instead. Both the server and the client must support this extension. Whether
length-hiding can be used on a given session can be checked using
gnutls_record_can_use_length_hiding(). Contributed by Alfredo Pironti.
** libgnutls: Added the experimental %NEW_PADDING priority string. It enables
a new padding mechanism in TLS allowing arbitrary padding in TLS records
in all ciphersuites, which makes length-hiding more efficient and solves
the issues with timing attacks on CBC ciphersuites.
** libgnutls: Corrected gnutls_cipher_decrypt2() when used with AEAD
ciphers (i.e., AES-GCM). Reported by William McGovern.

instead of issuing an error.
** libgnutls: Stricter RSA PKCS #1 1.5 encoding and decoding. Reported
by Kikuchi Masashi.

extension.
** libgnutls: Handle BMPString (UCS-2) encoding in the Distinguished
Name by translating it to UTF-8 (works on windows or systems with iconv).
** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 key generation function that returns the
public key on generation.
** libgnutls: Corrected bug in priority string parsing, that mostly
affected combined levels. Patch by Tim Kosse.
** certtool: The --pubkey-info option can be combined with the
--load-privkey or --load-request to print the corresponding public keys.
** certtool: It is able to set certificate policies via a template.
** certtool: Added --hex-numbers option which prints big numbers in
an easier to parse format.
** p11tool: After key generation, outputs the public key (useful in
tokens that do not store the public key).
** danetool: It is being built even without libgnutls-dane (the
--check functionality is disabled though).

* Version 3.1.2 (released 2012-09-26)
** libgnutls: Fixed bug in gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_system_trust()
and gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_mem() that prevented the loading
of certificates in the windows platform.
** libgnutls: Corrected bug in OpenPGP subpacket encoding.
** libgnutls: Added support for DTLS/TLS heartbeats by Olga Smolenchuk.
(the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
** libgnutls: Added X.509 certificate verification flag
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_UNSORTED_CHAIN. This flag allows the verification
of unsorted certificate chains and is enabled by default for
TLS certificate verification (if gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags()
does not override it).
** libgnutls: Prints warning on certificates that contain keys of
an insecure level. If the %COMPAT priority flag is not specified
the TLS connection fails.
** libgnutls: Correctly restore gnutls_record_recv() in DTLS mode
if interrupted during the retrasmition of handshake data.
** libgnutls: Better mingw32 support (patch by LRN).
** libgnutls: The %COMPAT keyword, if specified, will tolerate
key usage violation errors (they are far too common to ignore).
** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_STATELESS_COMPRESSION flag to gnutls_init(),
which provides a tool to counter compression-related attacks where
parts of the data are controlled by the attacker _and_ are placed in
separate records (use with care - do not use compression if not sure).
** libgnutls: Depends on libtasn1 2.14 or later.
** certtool: Prints the number of bits of the public key algorithm
parameter in a private key.
** API and ABI modifications:

** gnutls-serv: Listens on IPv6. Patch by Bernhard R. Link.
** certtool: Changes in password handling of certtool.
Ask password when required and only if the '--password' option is not
given. If the '--password' option is given during key generation then
assume the PKCS #8 file format, instead of ignoring the password.
** tpmtool: No longer asks for key password in registered keys.
** libgnutls: Elliptic curve code was optimized by Ilya Tumaykin.
wmNAF is now used for point multiplication and other optimizations.
(the major part of the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
** libgnutls: The default pull_timeout_function only uses select
instead of a combination of select() and recv() to prevent issues
when used in stream sockets in some systems.
** libgnutls: Be tolerant in ECDSA signature violations (e.g. using
SHA256 with a SECP384 curve instead of SHA-384), to interoperate with
openssl.
** libgnutls: Fixed DSA and ECDSA signature generation in smart
cards. Thanks to Andreas Schwier from cardcontact.de for providing
me with ECDSA capable smart cards.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_sign_algorithm_get: Added
gnutls_sign_get_hash_algorithm: Added

* Version 3.1.0 (released 2012-08-15)
** libgnutls: Added direct support for TPM as a cryptographic module
in gnutls/tpm.h. TPM keys can be used in functions accepting files
using URLs of the following types:
tpmkey:file=/path/to/file
tpmkey:uuid=7f468c16-cb7f-11e1-824d-b3a4f4b20343;storage=user
** libgnutls: Priority string level keywords can be combined.
For example the string "SECURE256:+SUITEB128" is now allowed.
** libgnutls: requires libnettle 2.5.
** libgnutls: Use the PKCS #1 1.5 encoding provided by nettle (2.5)
for encryption and signatures.
** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE to differentiate between
generic errors and signature verification errors in the verification
functions.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse() as a helper function
to simplify parsing in most PKCS #12 use cases.
** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file() adds
the whole certificate chain (if any) to the credentials structure, instead
of only the end-user certificate.
** libgnutls: Key import functions such as gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse()
and gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(), return consistently
GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED if the input structure is encrypted but no
password was provided.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_handshake_set_timeout() a function that
allows to set the maximum time spent in a handshake.
** libgnutlsxx: Added session::set_transport_vec_push_function. Patch
by Alexandre Bique.
** tpmtool: Added. It is a tool to generate private keys in the
TPM.
** gnutls-cli: --benchmark-tls was split to --benchmark-tls-kx
and --benchmark-tls-ciphers
** certtool: generated PKCS #12 structures may hold more than one
private key. Patch by Lucas Fisher.
** certtool: Added option --null-password to generate/decrypt keys
that use a NULL password (in schemas that distinguish between NULL
an empty passwords).
** minitasn1: Upgraded to libtasn1 version 2.13.

* Version 2.8.2 (released 2009-08-10)
** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie
Marlinspike at BlackHat09. Thanks to Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>
for providing one part of the patch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-4].
** libgnutls: Fix return value of gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status.
Before it always returned false. Reported by Peter Hendrickson
<pdh@wiredyne.com> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3668>.
** libgnutls: Fix off-by-one size computation error in unknown DN printing.

X.509 certificate DNs. Reported by Tim Kosse
<tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3651>.
** libgnutls: Return correct bit lengths of some MPIs.
gnutls_dh_get_prime_bits, gnutls_rsa_export_get_modulus_bits, and
gnutls_dh_get_peers_public_bits. Before the reported value was
overestimated. Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3607>.
** libgnutls: Avoid internal error when invoked after GNUTLS_E_AGAIN.

and
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3670>.
** libgnutls: Relax checking of required libtasn1/libgcrypt versions.
Before we required that the runtime library used the same (or more
recent) libgcrypt/libtasn1 as it was compiled with. Now we just check
that the runtime usage is above the minimum required. Reported by
Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it> via Andreas Metzler
<ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in <http://bugs.debian.org/540449>.

*** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.8 compared to GnuTLS 2.6.x
No offically supported interfaces have been modified or removed. The
library should be completely backwards compatible on both the source
and binary level.
The shared library no longer exports some symbols that have never been
officially supported, i.e., not mentioned in any of the header files.
The symbols are:
_gnutls*
gnutls_asn1_tab
Normally when symbols are removed, the shared library version has to
be incremented. This leads to a significant cost for everyone using
the library. Because none of the above symbols have ever been
intended for use by well-behaved applications, we decided that the it
would be better for those applications to pay the price rather than
incurring problems on the majority of applications.
If it turns out that applications have been using unofficial
interfaces, we will need to release a follow-on release on the v2.8
branch to exports additional interfaces. However, initial testing
suggests that few if any applications have been using any of the
internal symbols.
Although not a new change compared to 2.6.x, we'd like to remind you
interfaces have been modified so that X.509 chain verification now
also checks activation/expiration times on certificates. The affected
functions are:
gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.
GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED: ADDED.
GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
This change in behaviour was made during the GnuTLS 2.6.x cycle, and
we gave our rationale for it in earlier release notes.
The following symbols have been added to the library:
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_mem: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_authority_key_id: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_extension_data: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_extension_info: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_extension_oid: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_number: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_set_authority_key_id: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_set_number: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crq_get_attribute_data: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crq_get_attribute_info: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crq_get_basic_constraints: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crq_get_extension_by_oid: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crq_get_extension_data: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crq_get_extension_info: ADDED

gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash: ADDED
The following interfaces have been added to the header files:
GNUTLS_VERSION: ADDED, replaces LIBGNUTLS_VERSION.
GNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR: ADDED, replaces LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR.

Merged from stable branch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-2] [CVE-2009-1416]
** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
Merged from stable branch. Reported by Romain Francoise
<romain@orebokech.com>. This changes the semantics of
gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in turn is used by
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.
We add two new gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new
error condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED.
We also add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new
behaviour. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-3] [CVE-2009-1417]
** lib: Linker version scripts reduces number of exported symbols.
The linker version script now lists all exported ABIs explicitly, to
avoid accidentally exporting unintended functions. Compared to
before, most symbols beginning with _gnutls* are no longer exported.
These functions have never been intended for use by applications, and
there were no prototypes for these function in the public header
files. Thus we believe it is possible to do this without incrementing
the library ABI version which normally has to be done when removing an
interface.
** lib: Limit exported symbols on systems without LD linker scripts.
Before all symbols were exported. Now we limit the exported symbols
to (for libgnutls and libgnutls-extra) gnutls* and (for libgnutls)
_gnutls*. This is a superset of the actual supported ABI, but still
an improvement compared to before. This is implemented using Libtool
-export-symbols-regex. It is more portable than linker version
scripts.
** libgnutls: Incremented CURRENT/AGE libtool version to reflect new symbols.
This should have been done in the last release.
** gnutls-serv: Listen on all interfaces, including both IPv4 and IPv6.
Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3476>.
** doc: Improved sections for the info manual.
We now follow the advice given by the texinfo manual on which
directory categories to use. In particular, libgnutls moved from the
'GNU Libraries' section to the 'Software libraries' and the command
line tools moved from 'Network Applications' to 'System
Administration'.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.
GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED: ADDED.
GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
* Version 2.7.7 (released 2009-04-20)
** libgnutls: Applied patch by Cedric Bail to add functions
gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash() and gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm().
** gnutls.pc: Add -ltasn1 to 'pkg-config --libs --static gnutls' output.

** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash: ADDED

* Version 2.7.6 (released 2009-02-27)
** certtool: Query for multiple dnsName subjectAltName in interactive mode.
This applies both to generating certificates and certificate requests.
** pkix.asn: Removed unneeded definitions to reduce memory usage.
** gnutls-cli: No longer accepts V1 CAs by default during X.509 chain verify.
Use --priority NORMAL:%VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT to permit V1 CAs to
be used for chain verification.
** gnutls-serv: No longer disable MAC padding by default.
Use --priority NORMAL:%COMPAT to disable MAC padding again.
** gnutls-cli: Certificate information output format changed.
The tool now uses libgnutls' functions to print certificate
information. This avoids code duplication.
** libgnutls: New priority strings %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5
** and %VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT.
They can be used to override the default certificate chain validation
behaviour.
** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy
TLS servers. Report by Martin von Gagern.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_print prints signature algorithm in oneline mode.
** libgnutls: gnutls_openpgp_crt_print supports oneline mode.
** doc: Update gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv --help output descriptions.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.7.5 (released 2009-02-06)
** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"

** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
"Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in

** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.7.4 (released 2009-01-07)
** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
<dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.
** libgnutls: New interface to get key id for certificate requests.
Patch from David Marín Carreño <davefx@gmail.com> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3321>.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crq_print will now also print public key id.
** certtool: --verify-chain now prints results of using library verification.
Earlier, certtool --verify-chain used its own validation algorithm
which wasn't guaranteed to give the same result as the libgnutls
internal validation algorithm. Now this command print a new final
line with header 'Chain verification output:' that contains the result
from using the internal verification algorithm on the same chain.
** tests: Add crq_key_id self-test of gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id: ADDED.
* Version 2.7.3 (released 2008-12-10)
** libgnutls: Fix chain verification for chains that ends with RSA-MD2 CAs.

Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3309>.
** libgnutls: Libgcrypt initialization changed.
If libgcrypt has not already been initialized, GnuTLS will now
initialize libgcrypt with disabled secure memory. Initialize
libgcrypt explicitly in your application if you want to enable secure
memory. Before GnuTLS initialized libgcrypt to use GnuTLS's memory
allocation functions, which doesn't use secure memory, so there is no
real change in behaviour.
** libgnutls: Fix memory leak in PSK authentication.
Reported by Michael Weiser <michael@weiser.dinsnail.net> in
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1465>.
** libgnutls: Small byte reads via gnutls_record_recv() optimized.
** certtool: Move gcry_control(GCRYCTL_ENABLE_QUICK_RANDOM, 0) call earlier.
It needs to be invoked before libgcrypt is initialized.
** gnutls-cli: Return non-zero exit code on error conditions.
** gnutls-cli: Corrected bug which caused a rehandshake request to be ignored.
** tests: Added chainverify self-test that tests X.509 chain verifications.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.7.2 (released 2008-11-18)
** libgnutls: Fix X.509 certificate chain validation error. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-3]
The flaw makes it possible for man in the middle attackers (i.e.,
active attackers) to assume any name and trick GNU TLS clients into
trusting that name. Thanks for report and analysis from Martin von

* Version 2.6.4 (released 2009-02-06)
** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"

** Fix for certificate selection in servers with certificate callbacks.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.2.0 (released 2007-12-14)
Major changes compared to the v2.0 branch:
* SRP support aligned with newly published RFC 5054.
* OpenPGP support aligned with newly published RFC 5081.
* Support for DSA2 keys.
* Support for Camellia cipher.
* Support for Opaque PRF Input extension.
* PKCS#8 parser now handle DSA keys.
* Change from GPLv2 to GPLv3 for command-line tools, libgnutls-extra,
etc. Notice that liblzo2 2.02 is licensed under GPLv2 only. Earlier
versions, such as 2.01 which is included with GnuTLS, is available under
GPLv2 or later. If this incompatibility causes problems, we recommend
you to disable LZO using --without-lzo. LZO compression is not a
standard TLS compression algorithm, so the impact should be minimal.
* Functions for disabling record protocol padding.
Works around bugs on Nokia/Ericsson phones.
* New functions gnutls_priority_set() for setting cipher priorities easily.
Priorities like "COMPAT" also enables other work arounds, such as
disabling padding.
* Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
Minor changes compared to the latest v2.1.8 release candidate:
* Update internal copy of libtasn1 to version 1.2.
* Certtool --verify-chain now handle inputs larger than 64kb.
This fixes the self-test "rsa-md5-collision" under MinGW+Wine with
recent versions of libgcrypt. The problem was that Wine with the
libgcrypt RNG generates huge amounts of debugging output.
* Translation updates.
Added Dutch translation. Updated Polish and Swedish translation.
Backwards incompatible API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.2
====================================================
To adapt to changes in the TLS extension specifications for OpenPGP
and SRP, the GnuTLS API had to be modified. This means breaking the
API and ABI backwards compatibility. That is something we try to
avoid unless it is necessary. We decided to also remove the already
deprecated stub functions for X.509 to XML conversion and TLS
authorization (see below) when we had the opportunity.
Generally, most applications does not need to be modified. Just
re-compile them against the latest GnuTLS release, and it should work
fine.
Applications that use the OpenPGP or SRP features needs to be
modified. Below is a list of the modified APIs and discussion of what
the minimal things you need to modify in your application to make it
work with GnuTLS 2.2.
Note that GnuTLS 2.2 also introduces new APIs -- such as
gnutls_set_priority() that is superior to
gnutls_set_default_priority() -- that you may want to start using.
However, using those new APIs is not required to use GnuTLS 2.2 since
the old functions continue are still supported. This text only
discuss what you minimally have to modify.
XML related changes
-------------------
The function `gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml' has been removed. It has been
deprecated and only returned an error code since GnuTLS version
1.2.11. Nobody has complained, so users doesn't seem to miss the
functionality. We don't know of any other library to convert X.509
certificates into XML format, but we decided (long ago) that GnuTLS
isn't the right place for this kind of functionality. If you want
help to find some other library to use here, please explain and
discuss your use case on help-gnutls <at> gnu.org.
TLS Authorization related changes
---------------------------------
Everything related to TLS authorizations have been removed, they were
only stub functions that returned an error code:
GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_AUTHZ_DATA
gnutls_authz_data_format_type_t
gnutls_authz_recv_callback_func
gnutls_authz_send_callback_func
gnutls_authz_enable
gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert
gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion
gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert_url
gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion_url
SRP related changes
-------------------
The callback gnutls_srp_client_credentials_function has a new
prototype, and its semantic has changed. You need to rewrite the
callback, see the updated function documentation and SRP example code
(doc/examples/ex-client-srp.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-srp.c) for more
information.
The alert codes GNUTLS_A_MISSING_SRP_USERNAME and
GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME are no longer used by the SRP
specification, instead the GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_PSK_IDENTITY alert is
used. There are #define's to map the old names to the new. You may
run into problems if you have a switch-case with cases for both SRP
alerts, since they are now mapped to the same value. The solution is
to drop the SRP alerts from such switch cases, as they are now
deprecated in favor of GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_PSK_IDENTITY.
OpenPGP related changes
-----------------------
The function `gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyserver' have been
removed. There is no replacement functionality inside GnuTLS. If you
need keyserver functionality, consider using the GnuPG tools.
All functions, types, and error codes related to OpenPGP trustdb
format have been removed. The trustdb format is a non-standard
GnuPG-specific format, and we recommend you to use key rings instead.
The following have been removed:
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_trustdb
gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_init
gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_deinit
gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_import
gnutls_openpgp_key_verify_trustdb
gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_t
GNUTLS_E_OPENPGP_TRUSTDB_VERSION_UNSUPPORTED
The following functions has an added parameter of the (new) type
`gnutls_openpgp_crt_fmt_t'. The type specify the format of the data
(binary or base64). The functions are:
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_file
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_mem
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyring_mem
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyring_file
To improve terminology and align with the X.509 interface, some
functions have been renamed. Compatibility mappings exists. The old
and new names of the affected functions and types are:
Old name New name
gnutls_openpgp_key_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_t
gnutls_openpgp_key_fmt_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_fmt_t
gnutls_openpgp_key_status_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_status_t
GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEY GNUTLS_OPENPGP_CERT
GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEY_FINGERPRINT GNUTLS_OPENPGP_CERT_FINGERPRINT
gnutls_openpgp_key_init gnutls_openpgp_crt_init
gnutls_openpgp_key_deinit gnutls_openpgp_crt_deinit
gnutls_openpgp_key_import gnutls_openpgp_crt_import
gnutls_openpgp_key_export gnutls_openpgp_crt_export
gnutls_openpgp_key_get_key_usage gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_key_usage
gnutls_openpgp_key_get_fingerprint gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_fingerprint

gnutls_openpgp_key_check_hostname gnutls_openpgp_crt_check_hostname
gnutls_openpgp_send_key gnutls_openpgp_send_cert
* Version 2.0.0 (released 2007-09-04)
The following changes have been made since GnuTLS 1.6:
* Support for external RSA/DSA signing for TLS client authentication.
This allows you to secure the private key better, for example by using
privilege-separation techniques between the private key and the
network client/server.
* Support for signing X.509 certificates using RSA with SHA-256/384/512.
* Experimental support for TLS 1.2 (disabled by default). The TLS 1.2
specification is not finalized yet, but we implement a draft version
for testing.
* Support for X.509 Proxy Certificates (RFC 3820)
* Support for Supplemental handshakes messages (RFC 4680).
* Support for TLS authorization extension (draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07).
* Support for the X.509 'otherName' Subject Altnerative Names (for XMPP).
* Guile bindings for GnuTLS have been added, thanks to Ludovic Courtes.
* Improve logic of gnutls_set_default_priority() which can now be more
recommended.
* New APIs to enumerate supported algorithms in the library.
* New APIs to access X.509 Certificate extension sequentially.
* New APIs to print X.509 Certificates and CRLs in human readable formats.
* New APIs to extract X.509 Distinguished Names from certificates.
* New APIs to handle pathLenConstraint in X.509 Basic Constraints.
* Certtool can export more than one certificate to PKCS#12.
* Several message translation improvements.
* Instructions and improvements to easily set up a HTTPS test server.
* Included copies updated to Libtasn1 1.1 and OpenCDK 0.6.4.
* Build improvements for Windows, Mac OS X, uClinux, etc.
* GnuTLS is now developed in GIT.
* Improved manual
* Many bugfixes and minor improvements.
* Version 2.0.2 (released 2007-10-17)
** TLS authorization support removed.
This technique may be patented in the future, and it is not of crucial
importance for the Internet community. After deliberation we have
concluded that the best thing we can do in this situation is to
encourage society not to adopt this technique. We have decided to
lead the way with our own actions.
** certtool: Fixed data corruption when using --outder.
** Fix configure-time Guile detection.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_USER_MAPPING_DATA: ADDED. To avoid that the
gnutls_supplemental_data_format_type_t enum type becomes empty.
* Version 2.0.1 (released 2007-09-20)
** New directory doc/credentials/ with test credentials.
This collects the test credentials from the web page and from src/.
The script gnutls-http-serv has also been moved to that directory.
** Update SRP extension type and cipher suite with official IANA values.
This breaks backwards compatibility with SRP in older versions of
GnuTLS, but this is intentional to speed up the adoption of the
official values. The old values we used were incorrect.
** Guile: Fix `x509-certificate-dn-oid'
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
While an update to a .0 version is somehow risky, it finishes the
unfortunate state that the pkgsrc gnutls didn't work with the pkgsrc
opencdk, which I wouldn't like to go into the next stable branch.
Release candidates have worked for me, and there is some time left
before the Q3 branch, so I'm confident.
changes:
* Support for external RSA/DSA signing for TLS client authentication
-many X.509 enhancements
Support for Supplemental handshakes messages (RFC 4680)
* Support for TLS authorization extension (draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07)
* Improve logic of gnutls_set_default_priority()
* New APIs to enumerate supported algorithms in the library
* Certtool can export more than one certificate to PKCS#12
* Several message translation improvements
* Improved manual
* Many bugfixes and minor improvements
* Version 1.6.2 (released 2007-04-18)
** Fix X.509 signing with RSA-PKCS#1 to set a NULL parameters fields.
Before, we remove the parameters field, which resulted in a slightly
different DER encoding which in turn caused signature verification
failures of GnuTLS-generated RSA certificates in some other
implementations (e.g., GnuPG 2.x's gpgsm). Depending on which RFCs
you read, this may or may not be correct, but our new behaviour appear
to be consistent with other widely used implementations.
** Regenerate the PKIX ASN.1 syntax tree.
For some reason, after changing the ASN.1 type of ldap-UID in the last
release, the generated C file built from the ASN.1 schema was not
refreshed. This can cause problems when reading/writing UID
components inside X.500 Distinguished Names. Reported by devel
<dev001@pas-world.com>.
** Updated translations.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
- Error messages are now translated using GNU Gettext.
- The function gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml now return an internal error.
This means that the code to convert X.509 certificates to XML format
does not work any more. The reason is that the function called
libtasn1 internal functions. It seems unclean for libtasn1 to export
the APIs needed here. Instead it would be better to implement XML
support inside libtasn1 properly. If you need this functionality
strongly, please consider looking into implementing this suggested
approach instead. As a workaround, you may also modify lib/x509/xml.c
(change '#if 1' to '#if 0') and build using --with-included-libtasn1.
- Doc fixes to explain that gnutls_record_send can block.
- gnutls-cli can now recognize services and port numbers with the -p option.
** New API to access the TLS master secret.
When possible, you should use the TLS PRF functions instead.
** Improved handling when multiple libraries use GnuTLS at the same time.
Now gnutls_global_init() can be called multiple times, and
gnutls_global_deinit() will only deallocate the structure when it has
been called as many times as gnutls_global_init() was called.
** Added a self test of TLS resume functionality.
** Fix crash in TLS resume code, caused by TLS/IA changes.
** Add 'const' keywords in various places, from Frediano ZIGLIO.
** The code was indented again, including the external header files.
** API and ABI modifications:
New functions to retrieve the master secret value:
gnutls_session_get_master_secret
Add a 'const' keyword to existing API:
gnutls_x509_crq_get_challenge_password
* Version 1.2.8 (2005-10-07)
- Libgcrypt 1.2.2 is required to fix a bug for forking GnuTLS servers.
- Don't install the auxilliary libexamples library used by the
examples in doc/examples/ on "make install", report and tiny patch
from Thomas Klausner
- If you pass a X.509 CA or PGP trust database to the command line
tool, it will now abort the connection if the server certificate
validation fails. Use the parameter --insecure to continue even
after certificate validation failures. Inspired from discussion
with Alexander Kotelnikov
- The test for socklen_t has been moved to gnulib.
- Link failures for duplicate or missing "program_name" symbol has been fixed,
patch from Martin Lambers
- The command line tool and the examples no longer uses mmap or bzero,
to make them more portable, patch from Martin Lambers
- Made the PKCS #12 API handle null passwords. Based on patch by
Anton Altaparmakov
- The GTK-DOC manual should build with current released tools.
(But a copy of the output is included, so the tools are not required.)
- API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 1.2.7 (2005-09-09)
- The GNUTLS and GNUTLS-EXTRA libraries are now built with versioned symbols.
- Certtool now complains when reading out-of-range X.509 serial
numbers, suggested by Fran
- Certtool now uses the readline library (when available) when reading
X.509 serial numbers.
- Fixed build problems in getpass on uClibc and Mingw32 platforms.
- Fixed compile warning regarding socklen_t on Mingw32, reported by
Martin Lambers
- Fixed examples in doc/examples/, suggested by Fran
- Gnulib is now used for the core library, enabling future code cleanups.
- The gnutls-cli tool now use gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2,
suggested by Daniel Stenberg
- Doc fixes for gnutls_transport_set_push and gnutls_transport_set_pull.
- Minilibtasn1 is now 0.2.17 (removed optional use of C99 macros).
- Disable zlib support if zlib.h is not present.
- A number of internal cleanups.
- API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
pkgsrc change: do not install libexamples (looks like a bug)
* Version 1.2.5 (2005-07-03)
- More builddir != srcdir fixes, reported by Mike Castle
- Fixed off-by-one bug in the size parameter of gnutls_x509_crt_get*_dn,
reported by Adam Langley
- Corrected some stuff in minilzo detection. Pointed out by
Sergey Lipnevich.
- MiniLZO updated to version 2.00.
- gnutls_x509_crt_list_import now accept a DER formatted CRL.
- API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 1.2.1 (2005-04-04)
- gnutls_bye() will no longer fail when RDWR is used and application
data are available for reading.
- Added more strict checks for the SRP parameters (g,n), when they
are not in the included list.
- Added warning to certtool when MD5 is being used for digital
signatures.
- Optimizations ("-O2 -finline-functions") are not enabled by default,
instead the standard autoconf defaults are used. Use `./configure
CFLAGS="-O2 -finline-functions"' to get the old optimizations.
- Added the option --get-dh-params to certtool, in order to get the
included in the library primes and generators.
- Improved the semantics of GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT, to
allow only trusted Version 1 CAs and introduced
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT which has the old semantics.
- Nettle self tests now build properly, reported by Pierre
- Eliminated some memory leaks in DHE and RSA-EXPORT cipher suites.
Reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere
- Added the functions:
gnutls_x509_crt_list_import(),
gnutls_x509_crq_get_attribute_by_oid(),
gnutls_x509_crq_set_attribute_by_oid() and
gnutls_x509_crt_set_extension_by_oid().
- If the library has been compiled with features disabled, a warning is
issued during the compilation of any program.
We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuTLS 1.2.0!
This release is the result of the 23 development releases made on the
development branch (1.1.x).
Major changes compared to the 1.0 branch include:
* Moved SRP password authentication from the GnuTLS-extra library
(licensed under GPL) to the core library (licensed under LGPL).
* The API has been cleaned up, and data types now use a '_t' suffix.
* Fixes to handle denial of service problem when verifying long
certificate chains.
* The manual has been converted to Texinfo and is consequently
available in many formats, see:
<http://josefsson.org/gnutls/manual/>
* A reference API manual has been added, and is available in HTML and
DevHelp formats, thanks to GTK-DOC, see:
<http://josefsson.org/gnutls/reference/gnutls-gnutls.html>
The 1.2.0 version is intended to be stable, and to be a drop-in
replacement of the stable 1.0.x branch.
We encourage developers to move to the 1.2 branch as soon as possible,
since we will now spend less time improving version 1.0.x.
We are not planning to open a 1.3 development branch soon, because
there are no plans to start work on any major new feature today.
Instead, we will continue to carefully improve the quality of this
release over time.
Improving GnuTLS is costly, but you can help! We are looking for
organizations that find GnuTLS useful and wish to contribute back.
You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate
money or equipment.
Noteworthy changes since the last release:
- Replace GNU LD version script with Libtool -export-symbols-regex,
from Joe Orton <joe at manyfish.co.uk>.
- Copy libtasn1 has been updated to version 0.2.11.
- Corrected the write of CRL distribution points.
- It is now possible to generate PKCS#12 structures without private
keys using "certtool --to-p12", suggested by Fabian Fagerholm
<fabbe at paniq.net>.
- Some complilation fixes.
- Added the --xml parameter to the certtool utility.
Changes 1.0.12:
- Corrected bug in OpenPGP key loading using a callback.
- Renamed gnutls-srpcrypt to srptool
- Allow handshake requests by the client.
