88f2a4cf9c CVE-2010-4180 fix (from OpenSSL_1_0_0-stable) 2011-02-03 10:43:00 +00:00
Dr. Stephen Henson
c0b8eb606f Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). Although these aren't used
directly by SSL/TLS SHA2 certificates are becoming more common and
applications that only call SSL_library_init() and not
OpenSSL_add_all_alrgorithms() will fail when verifying certificates.

Update docs.

c2c49969e2 Allow renegotiation if SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT is set as well as
initial connection to unpatched servers. There are no additional security
concerns in doing this as clients don't see renegotiation during an
attack anyway.

e0db2eed8d Correct and enhance the behaviour of "internal" session caching as it
relates to SSL_CTX flags and the use of "external" session caching. The
existing flag, "SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP" remains but is
supplemented with a complimentary flag, "SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE".
The bitwise OR of the two flags is also defined as
"SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL" and is the flag that should be used by most
applications wanting to implement session caching *entirely* by its own
provided callbacks. As the documented behaviour contradicted actual
behaviour up until recently, and since that point behaviour has itself been
inconsistent anyway, this change should not introduce any compatibility
problems. I've adjusted the relevant documentation to elaborate about how
this works.

Kudos to "Nadav Har'El" <nyh@math.technion.ac.il> for diagnosing these
anomalies and testing this patch for correctness.

New macros SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().

Message callback imlementation for SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 (no SSL 2.0 yet).

New '-msg' option for 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server'
that enable a message callback that displays all protocol messages.


In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert if
client_version is smaller than the protocol version in use.
Also change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0
if the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then the
client will at least see that alert.

Fix SSL[_CTX]_ctrl prototype (void * instead of char * for generic
pointer).

Add/update some OpenSSL copyright notices.

56fa8e69cf Update information as a partial response to the post
From: "Chris D. Peterson" <cpeterson@aventail.com>
  Subject: Implementation Issues with OpenSSL
  To: openssl-users@openssl.org
  Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2001 16:13:17 -0700
The patch included in the original post may improve the internal session
list handling (and is therefore worth a seperate investigation).
No change to the list handling will however solve the problems of incorrect
SSL_SESSION_free() calls. The session list is only one possible point of
failure, dangling pointers would also occur for SSL object currently
using the session. The correct solution is to only use SSL_SESSION_free()
when applicable!
