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
quality improvements. These include:
- Extraction, decompression, and scanning of files within Apple Disk Image (DMG) format.
- Extraction, decompression, and scanning of files within Extensible Archive (XAR) format.
XAR format is commonly used for software packaging, such as PKG and RPM, as well as
general archival.
- Decompression and scanning of files in "Xz" compression format.
- Improvements and fixes to extraction and scanning of ole formats.
- Option to force all scanned data to disk. This impacts only a few file types where
some embedded content is normally scanned in memory. Enabling this option
ensures that a file descriptor exists when callback functions are used, at a small
performance cost. This should only be needed when callback functions are used
that need file access.
- Various improvements to ClamAV configuration, support of third party libraries,
and unit tests.
- Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
(CVE-2013-4353)
- Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
[Steve Henson]
- Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
[Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
expressions containing a '/' (divide) are problematic because according to
the SUN x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual, '/' should be treated as
starting comments.
To get over this, gas has '--divide' do not treat `/' as a comment character
**1.6.2** (2013-12-26)
======================
Minor changes & compatibility fixes
* Re-tuned the :attr:`~passlib.ifc.PasswordHash.default_rounds`
values for all of the hashes.
* Added the new :doc:`bcrypt_sha256 <lib/passlib.hash.bcrypt_sha256>` hash,
which wraps BCrypt using SHA256 in order to work around
BCrypt's password size limitations (:issue:`43`).
* :doc:`passlib.hash.bcrypt <lib/passlib.hash.bcrypt>`:
Added support for the `bcrypt <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bcrypt>`_
library as one of the possible bcrypt backends that will be
used if available. (:issue:`49`)
* :mod:`passlib.ext.django`: Passlib's Django extension
(and it's related hashes and unittests) have been updated to
handle some minor API changes in Django 1.5-1.6. They should
now be compatible with Django 1.2 and up. (:issue:`50`)
Noteworthy changes in version 1.6.0 (2013-12-16)
------------------------------------------------
* Removed the long deprecated gcry_ac interface. Thus Libgcrypt is
not anymore ABI compatible to previous versions if they used the ac
interface.
* Removed the module register subsystem.
* The deprecated message digest debug macros have been removed. Use
gcry_md_debug instead.
* Removed deprecated control codes.
* Improved performance of most cipher algorithms as well as for the
SHA family of hash functions.
* Added support for the IDEA cipher algorithm.
* Added support for the Salsa20 and reduced Salsa20/12 stream ciphers.
* Added limited support for the GOST 28147-89 cipher algorithm.
* Added support for the GOST R 34.11-94 and R 34.11-2012 (Stribog)
hash algorithms.
* Added a random number generator to directly use the system's RNG.
Also added an interface to prefer the use of a specified RNG.
* Added support for the SCRYPT algorithm.
* Mitigated the Yarom/Falkner flush+reload side-channel attack on RSA
secret keys. See <http://eprint.iacr.org/2013/448> [CVE-2013-4242].
* Added support for Deterministic DSA as per RFC-6969.
* Added support for curve Ed25519.
* Added a scatter gather hash convenience function.
* Added several MPI amd SEXP helper functions.
* Added support for negative numbers to gcry_mpi_print,
gcry_mpi_aprint and gcry_mpi_scan.
* The algorithm ids GCRY_PK_ECDSA and GCRY_PK_ECDH are now
deprecated. Use GCRY_PK_ECC if you need an algorithm id.
* Changed gcry_pk_genkey for "ecc" to only include the curve name and
not the parameters. The flag "param" may be used to revert this.
* Added a feature to globally disable selected hardware features.
* Added debug helper functions.
entries for NetbSD architectures without assembler routines and Interix
containing ::::::... need to be updated, else -fPIC ends up in the
object-to-build list of crypto/modes. The correct entry snippet is
stored in ${no_asm}.
make test has run successfully in pkgsrc-current and -2013Q3 on
Shark (arm, asm-less) as well as i386 (with asm routines).
Fix a call to mp_radix_size to use a pointer to the BIGNUM, not the
address of the pointer, when accessing. Fixes a problem observed in
other software when using the same code. The problem was obscured
from the compiler because of the use of __UNCONST(). This makes the
BN_dec2bn() and BN_hex2bn() functions (in libnetpgpverify) work
properly.
OK: wiz
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.16 (2013-12-18)
-------------------------------------------------
* Fixed the RSA Key Extraction via Low-Bandwidth Acoustic
Cryptanalysis attack as described by Genkin, Shamir, and Tromer.
See <http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tromer/acoustic/>. [CVE-2013-4576]
* Put only the major version number by default into armored output.
* Do not create a trustdb file if --trust-model=always is used.
* Print the keyid for key packets with --list-packets.
* Changed modular exponentiation algorithm to recover from a small
performance loss due to a change in 1.4.14.
that are unsupported by the native port of MIT KRB5, and add any flags
necessary to support the builtin version.
Fixes various packages since the change to support the SunOS builtin.
Based on patches by Richard PALO (richard@).
