Raw Blame History

Because this project is maintained both in the OpenBSD tree using CVS and in
Git, it can be confusing following all of the changes.
Most of the libssl and libcrypto source code is is here in OpenBSD CVS:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libssl/
Some of the libcrypto and OS-compatibility files for entropy and random number
generation are here:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libcrypto/
A simplified TLS wrapper library is here:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libtls/
The LibreSSL Portable project copies these portions of the OpenBSD tree, along
with relevant portions of the C library, to a Git repository. This makes it
easier to follow all of the relevant changes to the upstream project in a
single place:
https://github.com/libressl-portable/openbsd
The portable bits of the project are largely maintained out-of-tree, and their
history is also available from Git.

LibreSSL Portable Release Notes:
This release primarily addresses a number of security issues in coordination
with the OpenSSL project.
2.2.0 - Build cleanups and new OS support, Security Updates
* AIX Support - thanks to Michael Felt
* Cygwin Support - thanks to Corinna Vinschen
* Refactored build macros, support packaging libtls independently.
There are more pieces required to support building and using OpenSSL
with libtls, but this is an initial start at providing an
independent package for people to start hacking on.
* Removal of OPENSSL_issetugid and all library getenv calls.
Applications can and should no longer rely on environment variables
for changing library behavior. OPENSSL_CONF/SSLEAY_CONF is still
supported with the openssl(1) command.
* libtls API and documentation additions
* Various bug fixes and simplifications to libssl and libcrypto
* Fixes for the following issues are integrated into LibreSSL 2.2.0:
- CVE-2015-1788 - Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
- CVE-2015-1789 - Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
- CVE-2015-1792 - CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
* The following CVEs did not apply to LibreSSL or were fixed in
earlier releases:
- CVE-2015-4000 - DHE man-in-the-middle protection (Logjam)
- CVE-2015-1790 - PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
- CVE-2014-8176 - Invalid free in DTLS
* Fixes for the following CVEs are still in review for LibreSSL
- CVE-2015-1791 - Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2.1.6 - Security update
* Fixes for the following issues are integrated into LibreSSL 2.1.6:
- CVE-2015-0209 - Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error
- CVE-2015-0286 - Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp
- CVE-2015-0287 - ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption
- CVE-2015-0288 - X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref
- CVE-2015-0289 - PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences
* The fix for CVE-2015-0207 - Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen
is integrated for safety, but LibreSSL is not vulnerable.
* Libtls is now built by default. The --enable-libtls
configuration option is no longer required.
The libtls API is now stable for the 2.1.x series.
2.1.5 - Bug fixes and a security update
* Fix incorrect comparison function in openssl(1) certhash command.
Thanks to Christian Neukirchen / Void Linux.
* Windows port improvements and bug fixes.
- Removed a dependency on libgcc in 32-bit dynamic libraries.
- Correct a hang in openssl(1) reading from stdin on an connection.
- Initialize winsock in openssl(1) earlier, allow 'openssl ocsp' and
any other network-related commands to function properly.
* Reject all server DH keys smaller than 1024 bits.
2.1.4 - Security and feature updates
* Improvements to libtls:
- a new API for loading CA chains directly from memory instead of a
file, allowing verification with privilege separation in a chroot
without direct access to CA certificate files.
- Ciphers default to TLSv1.2 with AEAD and PFS.
- Improved error handling and message generation
- New APIs and improved documentation
* Added X509_STORE_load_mem API for loading certificates from memory.
This facilitates accessing certificates from a chrooted environment.
* New AEAD "MAC alias" allows configuring TLSv1.2 AEAD ciphers by
using 'TLSv1.2+AEAD' as the cipher selection string.
* Dead and disabled code removal including MD5, Netscape workarounds,
non-POSIX IO, SCTP, RFC 3779 support, many #if 0 sections, and more.
* ASN1 macro maze expanded to aid reading and searching the code.
* NULL pointer asserts removed in favor of letting the OS/signal
handler catch them.
* Refactored argument handling in openssl(1) for consistency and
maintainability.
* New openssl(1) command 'certhash' replaces the c_rehash script.
* Support for building with OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
* Server-side support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV for compatibility with
various auditor and vulnerability scanners.
* Dozens of issues found with the Coverity scanner fixed.
* Security Updates:
- Fix a minor information leak that was introduced in t1_lib.c
r1.71, whereby an additional 28 bytes of .rodata (or .data) is
provided to the network. In most cases this is a non-issue since
the memory content is already public. Issue found and reported by
Felix Groebert of the Google Security Team.
- Fixes for the following low-severity issues were integrated into
LibreSSL from OpenSSL 1.0.1k:
CVE-2015-0205 - DH client certificates accepted without
verification
CVE-2014-3570 - Bignum squaring may produce incorrect results
CVE-2014-8275 - Certificate fingerprints can be modified
CVE-2014-3572 - ECDHE silently downgrades to ECDH [Client]
Reported by Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA.
The following CVEs were fixed in earlier LibreSSL releases:
CVE-2015-0206 - Memory leak handling repeated DLTS records
CVE-2014-3510 - Flaw handling DTLS anonymous EC(DH) ciphersuites.
The following CVEs did not apply to LibreSSL:
CVE-2014-3571 - DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record
CVE-2014-3569 - no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL
CVE-2015-0204 - RSA silently downgrades to EXPORT_RSA
2.1.3 - Security update and OS support improvements
* Fixed various memory leaks in DTLS, including fixes for
CVE-2015-0206.
* Added Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support.
* Removed GOST R 34.10-94 signature authentication.
* Removed nonfunctional Netscape browser-hang workaround code.

session ID contexts. Work is ongoing with this library - feedback
and potential use-cases are welcome.
* Support building Windows DLLs.
Thanks to Jan Engelhard.
* Packaged config wrapper for better compatibility with OpenSSL-based
build systems.
Thanks to @technion from github
* Ensure the stack is marked non-executable for assembly sections.
Thanks to Anthony G. Bastile.
* Enable extra compiler hardening flags by default, where applicable.
The default set of hardening features can vary by OS to OS, so
feedback is welcome on this. To disable the default hardening flags,
specify '--disable-hardening' during configure.
Thanks to Jim Barlow
* Initial HP-UX support, tested with HP-UX 11.31 ia64
Thanks to Kinichiro Inoguchi
* Initial NetBSD support, tested with NetBSD 6.1.5 x86_64

thanks to Song Dongsheng and others for code and feedback
* Enabled assembly optimizations on x86_64 CPUs
supports Linux, *BSD, Solaris and OS X operating systems
thanks to Wouter Clarie for the initial implementation
* Added no_ssl3/no_tls1_1/no_tls1_2 options to openssl(1)
* Improved build infrastructure, 'make distcheck' now passes
this simplifies and speeds developer efficiency
thanks to Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov and Wouter Clarie
