RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
|
|
|
|
AVAILABLE PATCHES
|
|
|
|
IN PROGRESS
|
|
|
|
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
|
|
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
|
|
OCSP
|
|
EVP cipher enhancement.
|
|
Enhanced certificate chain verification.
|
|
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
|
|
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
|
|
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
|
|
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
|
|
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
|
|
o Richard is currently working on:
|
|
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
|
|
functionality that is currently missing).
|
|
Shared library support for VMS.
|
|
OCSP
|
|
Kerberos 5 authentication
|
|
Constification
|
|
|
|
NEEDS PATCH
|
|
|
|
o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
|
|
|
|
o OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
|
|
#include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
|
|
e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
|
|
|
|
o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
|
|
or an error is reported
|
|
|
|
OPEN ISSUES
|
|
|
|
o crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
|
|
with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
|
|
CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
|
|
The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
|
|
to offer.
|
|
|
|
o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
|
|
|
|
1. The config vs. Configure scripts
|
|
It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
|
|
src/Configure. It confuses.
|
|
Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
|
|
script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
|
|
Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
|
|
itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
|
|
which are currently in Configure.
|
|
|
|
o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
|
|
for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
|
|
Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
|
|
solution to be really simple.
|
|
|
|
Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
|
|
compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
|
|
into the OpenSSL Configure script.
|
|
|
|
Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
|
|
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
|
|
libcrypto)
|
|
|
|
|
|
o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
|
|
totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
|
|
with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
|
|
Net::SSLeay package we can find under
|
|
http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
|
|
longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
|
|
to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
|
|
Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
|
|
us.
|
|
|
|
Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
|
|
and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
|
|
to date.
