2.5.0 - New APIs, bug fixes and improvements
* libtls now supports ALPN and SNI
* libtls adds a new callback interface for integrating custom IO
functions. Thanks to Tobias Pape.
* libtls now handles 4 cipher suite groups:
"secure" (TLSv1.2+AEAD+PFS)
"compat" (HIGH:!aNULL)
"legacy" (HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL)
"insecure" (ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL)
This allows for flexibility and finer grained control, rather than
having two extremes (an issue raised by Marko Kreen some time ago).
* Tightened error handling for tls_config_set_ciphers().
* libtls now always loads CA, key and certificate files at the time the
configuration function is called. This simplifies code and results in
a single memory based code path being used to provide data to libssl.
* Add support for OCSP intermediate certificates.
* Added functions used by stunnel and exim from BoringSSL - this
brings in X509_check_host, X509_check_email, X509_check_ip, and
X509_check_ip_asc.
* Added initial support for iOS, thanks to Jacob Berkman.
* Improved behavior of arc4random on Windows when using memory leak
analysis software.
* Correctly handle an EOF that occurs prior to the TLS handshake
completing. Reported by Vasily Kolobkov, based on a diff from Marko
Kreen.
* Limit the support of the "backward compatible" ssl2 handshake to
only be used if TLS 1.0 is enabled.
* Fix incorrect results in certain cases on 64-bit systems when
BN_mod_word() can return incorrect results. BN_mod_word() now can
return an error condition. Thanks to Brian Smith.
* Added constant-time updates to address CVE-2016-0702
* Fixed undefined behavior in BN_GF2m_mod_arr()
* Removed unused Cryptographic Message Support (CMS)
* More conversions of long long idioms to time_t
* Improved compatibility by avoiding printing NULL strings with
printf.
* Reverted change that cleans up the EVP cipher context in
EVP_EncryptFinal() and EVP_DecryptFinal(). Some software relies on the
previous behaviour.
* Avoid unbounded memory growth in libssl, which can be triggered by a
TLS client repeatedly renegotiating and sending OCSP Status Request
TLS extensions.
* Avoid falling back to a weak digest for (EC)DH when using SNI with
libssl.
2.4.2 - Bug fixes and improvements
* Fixed loading default certificate locations with openssl s_client.
* Ensured OSCP only uses and compares GENERALIZEDTIME values as per
RFC6960. Also added fixes for OCSP to work with intermediate
certificates provided in responses.
* Improved behavior of arc4random on Windows to not appear to leak
memory in debug tools, reduced privileges of allocated memory.
* Fixed incorrect results from BN_mod_word() when the modulus is too
large, thanks to Brian Smith from BoringSSL.
* Correctly handle an EOF prior to completing the TLS handshake in
libtls.
* Improved libtls ceritificate loading and cipher string validation.
* Updated libtls cipher group suites into four categories:
"secure" (TLSv1.2+AEAD+PFS)
"compat" (HIGH:!aNULL)
"legacy" (HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL)
"insecure" (ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL)
This allows for flexibility and finer grained control, rather than
having two extremes.
* Limited support for 'backward compatible' SSLv2 handshake packets to
when TLS 1.0 is enabled, providing more restricted compatibility
with TLS 1.0 clients.
* openssl(1) and other documentation improvements.
* Removed flags for disabling constant-time operations.
This removes support for DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME,
DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, and RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flags, making
all of these operations unconditionally constant-time.
2.4.1 - Security fix
* Correct a problem that prevents the DSA signing algorithm from
running in constant time even if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set.
This issue was reported by Cesar Pereida (Aalto University), Billy
Brumley (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The
University of Adelaide and NICTA). The fix was developed by Cesar
Pereida.
2.4.0 - Build improvements, new features
* Many improvements to the CMake build infrastructure, including
Solaris, mingw-w64, Cygwin, and HP-UX support. Thanks to Kinichiro
Inoguchi for this work.
* Added missing error handling around bn_wexpand() calls.
* Added explicit_bzero calls for freed ASN.1 objects.
* Fixed X509_*set_object functions to return 0 on allocation failure.
* Implemented the IETF ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher suites.
* Changed default EVP_aead_chacha20_poly1305() implementation to the
IETF version, which is now the default.
* Fixed password prompts from openssl(1) to properly handle ^C.
* Reworked error handling in libtls so that configuration errors are
visible.
* Deprecated internal use of EVP_[Cipher|Encrypt|Decrypt]_Final.
* Manpage fixes and updates
