6 * Version 3.3.3 (unreleased)
8 ** libgnutls: Eliminated null pointer dereferences in ASN.1 parser.
9 Issues discovered using the Codenomicon TLS test suite.
11 ** libgnutls: Eliminated null pointer dereference in ciphersuite parsing.
12 Issue reported by Joonas Kuorilehto of Codenomicon.
14 ** libgnutls: gnutls_global_set_mutex() was modified to operate with the
15 new initialization process.
17 ** libgnutls: increased the maximum certificate size buffer
18 in the PKCS #11 subsystem.
20 ** libgnutls: Check the return code of getpwuid_r() instead of relying
21 on the result value. That avoids issue in certain systems, when using
22 tofu authentication and the home path cannot be determined.
24 ** libgnutls-dane: Improved dane_verify_session_crt(), which now attempts to
25 create a full chain. This addresses points from https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?108552
27 ** gnutls-cli: --dane will only check the end certificate if PKIX validation
30 ** gnutls-cli: --benchmark-soft-ciphers has been removed. That option cannot
31 be emulated with the implicit initialization of gnutls.
33 ** certtool: Allow multiple organizations and organizational unit names to
34 be specified in a template.
36 ** certtool: Warn when invalid configuration options are set to a template.
38 ** ocsptool: Include path in ocsp request. This resolves #108582
39 (https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108582), reported by Matt McCutchen.
41 ** API and ABI modifications:
42 gnutls_credentials_get: Added
45 * Version 3.3.2 (released 2014-05-06)
47 ** libgnutls: Added the 'very weak' certificate verification profile
48 that corresponds to 64-bit security level.
50 ** libgnutls: Corrected file descriptor leak on random generator
53 ** libgnutls: Corrected file descriptor leak on PSK password file
54 reading. Issue identified using the Codenomicon TLS test suite.
56 ** libgnutls: Avoid deinitialization if initialization has failed.
58 ** libgnutls: null-terminate othername alternative names.
60 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_trust_list_get_issuer() will operate correctly
61 on a PKCS #11 trust list.
63 ** libgnutls: Several small bug fixes identified using valgrind and
64 the Codenomicon TLS test suite.
66 ** libgnutls-dane: Accept a certificate using DANE if there is at least one
67 entry that matches the certificate. Patch by simon [at] arlott.org.
69 ** libgnutls-guile: Fixed compilation issue.
71 ** certtool: Allow exporting a CRL on DER format.
73 ** certtool: The ECDSA keys generated by default use the SECP256R1 curve
74 which is supported more widely than the previously used SECP224R1.
76 ** API and ABI modifications:
77 GNUTLS_PROFILE_VERY_WEAK: Added
80 * Version 3.3.1 (released 2014-04-19)
82 ** libgnutls: Enforce more strict checks to heartbeat messages
83 concerning padding and payload. Suggested by Peter Dettman.
85 ** libgnutls: Allow decoding PKCS #8 files with ECC parameters
88 ** libgnutls: Several small bug fixes found by coverity.
90 ** libgnutls: The conditionally available self-test functions
91 were moved to self-test.h.
93 ** libgnutls: Fixed issue with the check of incoming data when two
94 different recv and send pointers have been specified. Reported and
95 investigated by JMRecio.
97 ** libgnutls: Fixed issue in the RSA-PSK key exchange, which would
98 result to illegal memory access if a server hint was provided. Reported
101 ** libgnutls: Fixed client memory leak in the PSK key exchange, if a
102 server hint was provided.
104 ** libgnutls: Corrected the *get_*_othername_oid() functions.
106 ** API and ABI modifications:
107 No changes since last version.
110 * Version 3.3.0 (released 2014-04-10)
112 ** libgnutls: The initialization of the library was moved to a
113 constructor. That is, gnutls_global_init() is no longer required
114 unless linking with a static library or a system that does not
115 support library constructors.
117 ** libgnutls: static libraries are not built by default.
119 ** libgnutls: PKCS #11 initialization is delayed to first usage.
120 That avoids long delays in gnutls initialization due to broken PKCS #11
123 ** libgnutls: The PKCS #11 subsystem is re-initialized "automatically"
124 on the first PKCS #11 API call after a fork.
126 ** libgnutls: certificate verification profiles were introduced
127 that can be specified as flags to verification functions. They
128 are enumerations in gnutls_certificate_verification_profiles_t
129 and can be converted to flags for use in a verification function
130 using GNUTLS_PROFILE_TO_VFLAGS().
132 ** libgnutls: Added the ability to read system-specific initial
133 keywords, if they are prefixed with '@'. That allows a compile-time
134 specified configuration file to be used to read pre-configured priority
135 strings from. That can be used to impose system specific policies.
137 ** libgnutls: Increased the default security level of priority
138 strings (NORMAL and PFS strings require at minimum a 1008 DH prime),
139 and set a verification profile by default. The LEGACY keyword is
140 introduced to set the old defaults.
142 ** libgnutls: Added support for the name constraints PKIX extension.
143 Currently only DNS names and e-mails are supported (no URIs, IPs
146 ** libgnutls: Security parameter SEC_PARAM_NORMAL was renamed to
147 SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM to avoid confusion with the priority string NORMAL.
149 ** libgnutls: Added new API in x509-ext.h to handle X.509 extensions.
150 This API handles the X.509 extensions in isolation, allowing to parse
151 similarly formatted extensions stored in other structures.
153 ** libgnutls: When generating DSA keys the macro GNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS
154 can be used to specify a particular subgroup as the number of bits in
155 gnutls_privkey_generate; e.g., GNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS(2048, 256).
157 ** libgnutls: DH parameter generation is now delegated to nettle.
158 That unfortunately has the side-effect that DH parameters longer than
159 3072 bits, cannot be generated (not without a nettle update).
161 ** libgnutls: Separated nonce RNG from the main RNG. The nonce
162 random number generator is based on salsa20/12.
164 ** libgnutls: The buffer alignment provided to crypto backend is
165 enforced to be 16-byte aligned, when compiled with cryptodev
166 support. That allows certain cryptodev drivers to operate more
169 ** libgnutls: Return error when a public/private key pair that doesn't
170 match is set into a credentials structure.
172 ** libgnutls: Depend on p11-kit 0.20.0 or later.
174 ** libgnutls: The new padding (%NEW_PADDING) experimental TLS extension has
175 been removed. It was not approved by IETF.
177 ** libgnutls: The experimental xssl library is removed from the gnutls
180 ** libgnutls: Reduced the number of gnulib modules used in the main library.
182 ** libgnutls: Added priority string %DISABLE_WILDCARDS.
184 ** libgnutls: Added the more extensible verification function
185 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers(), that allows checking, in addition
186 to a peer's DNS hostname, for the key purpose of the end certificate
187 (via PKIX extended key usage).
189 ** certtool: Timestamps for serial numbers were increased to 8 bytes,
190 and in batch mode to 12 (appended with 4 random bytes).
192 ** certtool: When no CRL number is provided (or value set to -1), then
193 a time-based number will be used, similarly to the serial generation
194 number in certificates.
196 ** certtool: Print the SHA256 fingerprint of a certificate in addition
199 ** libgnutls: Added --enable-fips140-mode configuration option (unsupported).
200 That option enables (when running on FIPS140-enabled system):
201 o RSA, DSA and DH key generation as in FIPS-186-4 (using provable primes)
202 o The DRBG-CTR-AES256 deterministic random generator from SP800-90A.
203 o Self-tests on initialization on ciphers/MACs, public key algorithms
204 and the random generator.
205 o HMAC-SHA256 verification of the library on load.
206 o MD5 is included for TLS purposes but cannot be used by the high level
208 o All ciphers except AES are disabled.
209 o All MACs and hashes except GCM and SHA are disabled (e.g., HMAC-MD5).
210 o All keys (temporal and long term) are zeroized after use.
211 o Security levels are adjusted to the FIPS140-2 recommendations (rather

578 ** libgnutls-dane: Added function to specify a DLV file.
580 ** libgnutls: Heartbeat code was made optional.
582 ** libgnutls: Fixes in server side of DTLS-0.9.
584 ** libgnutls: DN variable 'T' was expanded to 'title'.
586 ** libgnutls: Fixes in record padding parsing to prevent a timing attack.
587 Issue reported by Kenny Paterson and Nadhem Alfardan.
589 ** libgnutls: Added functions to directly set the DN in a certificate
590 or request from an RFC4514 string.
592 ** libgnutls: Optimizations in the random generator. The re-seeding of
593 it is now explicitly done on every session deinit.
595 ** libgnutls: Simplified the DTLS sliding window implementation.
597 ** libgnutls: The minimum DH bits accepted by a client are now set
598 by the specified priority string. The current values correspond to the
599 previous defaults (727 bits), except for the SECURE128 and SECURE192
600 strings which increase the minimum to 1248 and 1776 respectively.
602 ** libgnutls: Added the gnutls_record_cork() and uncork API to enable
603 buffering in sending application data.
605 ** libgnutls: Removed default random padding, and added a length-hiding interface
606 instead. Both the server and the client must support this extension. Whether
607 length-hiding can be used on a given session can be checked using
608 gnutls_record_can_use_length_hiding(). Contributed by Alfredo Pironti.
610 ** libgnutls: Added the experimental %NEW_PADDING priority string. It enables
611 a new padding mechanism in TLS allowing arbitrary padding in TLS records
612 in all ciphersuites, which makes length-hiding more efficient and solves
613 the issues with timing attacks on CBC ciphersuites.
615 ** libgnutls: Corrected gnutls_cipher_decrypt2() when used with AEAD
616 ciphers (i.e., AES-GCM). Reported by William McGovern.

655 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_get_policy() allows for a list of zero
658 ** libgnutls: Ignore heartbeat messages when received out-of-order,
659 instead of issuing an error.
661 ** libgnutls: Stricter RSA PKCS #1 1.5 encoding and decoding. Reported
664 ** libgnutls: TPM support is disabled by default because GPL programs
665 cannot link with it. Use --with-tpm to enable it.
667 ** libgnutls-guile: Fixed parallel compilation issue.
669 ** gnutls-cli: It will try to connect to all possible returned addresses

678 ** libgnutls: Added functions to parse the certificates policies
681 ** libgnutls: Handle BMPString (UCS-2) encoding in the Distinguished
682 Name by translating it to UTF-8 (works on windows or systems with iconv).
684 ** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 key generation function that returns the
685 public key on generation.
687 ** libgnutls: Corrected bug in priority string parsing, that mostly
688 affected combined levels. Patch by Tim Kosse.
690 ** certtool: The --pubkey-info option can be combined with the
691 --load-privkey or --load-request to print the corresponding public keys.
693 ** certtool: It is able to set certificate policies via a template.
695 ** certtool: Added --hex-numbers option which prints big numbers in
696 an easier to parse format.
698 ** p11tool: After key generation, outputs the public key (useful in
699 tokens that do not store the public key).
701 ** danetool: It is being built even without libgnutls-dane (the
702 --check functionality is disabled though).
704 ** API and ABI modifications:

716 ** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() will set flags depending on
717 the available revocation data validity.
719 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_verification_status_print(),
720 a function to print the verification status code in human readable text.
722 ** libgnutls: Added priority string %VERIFY_DISABLE_CRL_CHECKS.
724 ** libgnutls: Simplified certificate verification by adding
725 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3().
727 ** libgnutls: Added support for extension to establish keys for SRTP.
728 Contributed by Martin Storsjo.
730 ** libgnutls: The X.509 verification functions check the key
731 usage bits and pathlen constraints and on failure output
732 GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNER_CONSTRAINTS_FAILURE.
734 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crl_verify() includes the time checks.

796 response corresponds to the given certificate.
798 ** libgnutls: In client side gnutls_init() enables the session ticket and
799 OCSP certificate status request extensions by default. The flag
800 GNUTLS_NO_EXTENSIONS can be used to prevent that.
802 ** libgnutls: Several updates in the OpenPGP code. The generating code
803 is fully RFC6091 compliant and RFC5081 support is only supported in client
806 ** libgnutls-dane: Added. It is a library to provide DANE with DNSSEC
807 certificate verification.
809 ** gnutls-cli: Added --dane option to enable DANE certificate verification.
811 ** danetool: Added tool to generate DANE TLSA Resource Records (RR).

851 of certificates in the windows platform.
853 ** libgnutls: Corrected bug in OpenPGP subpacket encoding.
855 ** libgnutls: Added support for DTLS/TLS heartbeats by Olga Smolenchuk.
856 (the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
858 ** libgnutls: Added X.509 certificate verification flag
859 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_UNSORTED_CHAIN. This flag allows the verification
860 of unsorted certificate chains and is enabled by default for
861 TLS certificate verification (if gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags()
862 does not override it).
864 ** libgnutls: Prints warning on certificates that contain keys of
865 an insecure level. If the %COMPAT priority flag is not specified
866 the TLS connection fails.
868 ** libgnutls: Correctly restore gnutls_record_recv() in DTLS mode
869 if interrupted during the retrasmition of handshake data.
871 ** libgnutls: Better mingw32 support (patch by LRN).
873 ** libgnutls: The %COMPAT keyword, if specified, will tolerate
874 key usage violation errors (they are far too common to ignore).
876 ** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_STATELESS_COMPRESSION flag to gnutls_init(),
877 which provides a tool to counter compression-related attacks where
878 parts of the data are controlled by the attacker _and_ are placed in
879 separate records (use with care - do not use compression if not sure).
881 ** libgnutls: Depends on libtasn1 2.14 or later.
883 ** certtool: Prints the number of bits of the public key algorithm
884 parameter in a private key.
886 ** API and ABI modifications:

895 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_INSECURE: Added
897 * Version 3.1.1 (released 2012-09-02)
899 ** gnutls-serv: Listens on IPv6. Patch by Bernhard R. Link.
901 ** certtool: Changes in password handling of certtool.
902 Ask password when required and only if the '--password' option is not
903 given. If the '--password' option is given during key generation then
904 assume the PKCS #8 file format, instead of ignoring the password.
906 ** tpmtool: No longer asks for key password in registered keys.
908 ** libgnutls: Elliptic curve code was optimized by Ilya Tumaykin.
909 wmNAF is now used for point multiplication and other optimizations.
910 (the major part of the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
912 ** libgnutls: The default pull_timeout_function only uses select
913 instead of a combination of select() and recv() to prevent issues
914 when used in stream sockets in some systems.
916 ** libgnutls: Be tolerant in ECDSA signature violations (e.g. using
917 SHA256 with a SECP384 curve instead of SHA-384), to interoperate with
920 ** libgnutls: Fixed DSA and ECDSA signature generation in smart
921 cards. Thanks to Andreas Schwier from cardcontact.de for providing
922 me with ECDSA capable smart cards.
924 ** API and ABI modifications:
925 gnutls_sign_algorithm_get: Added
926 gnutls_sign_get_hash_algorithm: Added
927 gnutls_sign_get_pk_algorithm: Added
930 * Version 3.1.0 (released 2012-08-15)
932 ** libgnutls: Added direct support for TPM as a cryptographic module
933 in gnutls/tpm.h. TPM keys can be used in functions accepting files
934 using URLs of the following types:
935 tpmkey:file=/path/to/file
936 tpmkey:uuid=7f468c16-cb7f-11e1-824d-b3a4f4b20343;storage=user
938 ** libgnutls: Priority string level keywords can be combined.
939 For example the string "SECURE256:+SUITEB128" is now allowed.
941 ** libgnutls: requires libnettle 2.5.
943 ** libgnutls: Use the PKCS #1 1.5 encoding provided by nettle (2.5)
944 for encryption and signatures.
946 ** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE to differentiate between
947 generic errors and signature verification errors in the verification
950 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse() as a helper function
951 to simplify parsing in most PKCS #12 use cases.
953 ** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file() adds
954 the whole certificate chain (if any) to the credentials structure, instead
955 of only the end-user certificate.
957 ** libgnutls: Key import functions such as gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse()
958 and gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(), return consistently
959 GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED if the input structure is encrypted but no
960 password was provided.
962 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_handshake_set_timeout() a function that
963 allows to set the maximum time spent in a handshake.
965 ** libgnutlsxx: Added session::set_transport_vec_push_function. Patch
968 ** tpmtool: Added. It is a tool to generate private keys in the
971 ** gnutls-cli: --benchmark-tls was split to --benchmark-tls-kx
972 and --benchmark-tls-ciphers
974 ** certtool: generated PKCS #12 structures may hold more than one
975 private key. Patch by Lucas Fisher.
977 ** certtool: Added option --null-password to generate/decrypt keys
978 that use a NULL password (in schemas that distinguish between NULL

1028 ** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_system_trust()
1029 is now supported on OpenBSD.
1031 ** libgnutls: When verifying a certificate chain make sure it is chain.
1032 If the chain is wronly interrupted at some point then truncate it,
1033 and only try to verify the correct part. Patch by David Woodhouse
1035 ** libgnutls: Restored the behavior of gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8()
1036 which now may (again) accept a NULL password.
1038 ** certtool: Allow the user to choose the hash algorithm
1039 when signing certificate request or certificate revocation list.
1040 Patch by Petr Písař.
1042 ** API and ABI modifications:
1043 No changes since last version.

1050 encoded. Reported by David Woodhouse.
1052 ** libgnutls: In DTLS larger to mtu records result to
1053 GNUTLS_E_LARGE_PACKET instead of being truncated.
1055 ** libgnutls: gnutls_dtls_get_data_mtu() is more precise. Based
1056 on patch by David Woodhouse.
1058 ** libgnutls: Fixed memory leak in PKCS #8 key import.
1060 ** libgnutls: Added support for an old version of the DTLS protocol
1061 used by openconnect vpn client for compatibility with Cisco's AnyConnect
1062 SSL VPN. It is marked as GNUTLS_DTLS0_9. Do not use it for newer protocols

1135 is returned on premature termination (and added unit test).
1137 ** libgnutls: Fixes for W64 API. Patch by B. Scott Michel.
1139 ** libgnutls: Corrected VIA padlock detection for old
1140 VIA processors. Reported by Kris Karas.
1142 ** libgnutls: Updated assembler files.
1144 ** libgnutls: Time in generated certificates is stored
1145 as GeneralizedTime instead of UTCTime (which only stores

1433 allow listing the ciphersuites enabled in a priority structure.
1434 It outputs an index to be used in gnutls_get_cipher_suite_info().
1436 ** libgnutls: Optimizations in the elliptic curve code --timing
1437 attacks resistant code is only used in ECDSA private key operations.

1746 instruction. Uses Andy Polyakov's assembly code.
1748 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_named_crt() and
1749 gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_named_crt() that allow having a
1750 list of certificates in the trusted list that will be associated
1751 with a name (e.g. server name) and will not be used as CAs.
1753 ** libgnutls: PKCS #11 back-end rewritten to use p11-kit
1754 http://p11-glue.freedesktop.org/p11-kit.html. Rewrite by

1854 "NORMAL" and "PERFORMANCE" priority strings.
1856 ** libgnutls: depend on libdl.
1858 ** libgnutls-extra: Dropped support of LZO compression via liblzo.
1860 ** libgnutls: gnutls_transport_set_global_errno() was removed. This
1861 function required GnuTLS to access system specific data, for no reason.
1862 Use gnutls_transport_set_errno(), or your system's errno fascility
1865 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function2()
1866 to set a callback to retrieve a certificate. The certificate is
1867 received in a format that requires no processing from gnutls thus
1868 it is suitable when performance is required.

1888 ** libgnutls: Corrected signature generation and verification
1889 in the Certificate Verify message when in TLS 1.2. Reported
1892 ** libgnutlsxx: The C++ interface returns exception on
1893 every error and not only on fatal ones. This allows easier
1896 ** libgnutls: Corrected issue in DHE-PSK ciphersuites that ignored
1899 ** libgnutls: SRP and PSK are no longer set on the default priorities.
1900 They have to be explicitly set.
1902 ** libgnutls: During handshake message verification using DSS
1903 use the hash algorithm required by it.
1905 ** libgnutls: gnutls_recv() return GNUTLS_E_PREMATURE_TERMINATION
1906 on unexpected EOF, instead of GNUTLS_E_UNEXPECTED_PACKET_LENGTH.
1908 ** libgnutls: Added GCM mode (interoperates with tls.secg.org)
1910 ** libgnutls-extra: Inner application extension was removed.
1911 It was never standardized nor published as an RFC.
1913 ** libgnutls: Added new certificate verification functions, that
1914 can provide more details and are more efficient. Check
1915 gnutls_x509_trust_list_*.
1917 ** certtool: Uses the new certificate verification functions for
1920 ** certtool: Added new certificate verification functionality
1921 using the --verify option. Combined with --load-ca-certificate
1922 it can verify a certificate chain against a list of certificates.

2113 ** libgnutls: Reverted default behavior for verification and
2114 introduced GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT. Thus by default
2115 V1 trusted CAs are allowed, unless the new flag is specified.
2117 ** libgnutls: Correctly add leading zero to PKCS #8 encoded DSA key.
2118 Reported by Jeffrey Walton.
2120 ** libgnutls: Added SIGN-ALL, CTYPE-ALL, COMP-ALL, and VERS-TLS-ALL

2124 ** p11tool: Introduced. It allows manipulating pkcs 11 tokens.
2126 ** gnutls-cli: Print channel binding only in verbose mode.
2127 Before it printed it after the 'Compression:' output, thus breaking
2128 Emacs starttls.el string searches.

2191 * Version 2.11.1 (released 2010-09-14)
2193 ** libgnutls: Nettle is the default crypto back end. Use --with-libgcrypt
2194 to use the libgcrypt back end.
2196 ** libgnutls: Depend on nettle 2.1. This makes nettle a fully working
2197 backend crypto library.
2199 ** libgnutls: Added RSA_NULL_SHA1 and SHA256 ciphersuites.
2201 ** libgnutls: Several updates in the buffering internal interface.

2208 ** libgnutls: The %COMPAT flag now allows larger records that violate the
2211 ** libgnutls: by default lowat level has been set to zero to avoid unnecessary
2212 system calls. Applications that depended on it being 1 should explicitly call
2213 gnutls_transport_set_lowat().
2215 ** libgnutls: Updated documentation and gnutls_pk_params_t mappings
2216 to ECRYPT II recommendations. Mappings were moved to a single location
2217 and DSA keys are handled differently (since DSA2 allows for 1024,2048
2218 and 3072 keys only).
2220 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
2221 gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
2222 is unable to decode the key.
2224 ** libgnutls: HMAC-MD5 no longer used by default.

2230 * Version 2.11.0 (released 2010-07-22)
2232 ** libgnutls: support scattered write using writev(). This takes
2233 advantage of the new buffering layer and allows queuing of packets
2234 and flushing them. This is currently used for handshake messages
2237 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
2238 alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
2239 locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
2240 critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
2241 previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
2242 locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
2243 that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
2245 #if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
2249 ** libgnutls: Added support for reading DN from EV-certificates.
2251 jurisdictionOfIncorporationLocalityName,
2252 jurisdictionOfIncorporationStateOrProvinceName,
2253 jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName
2255 ** libgnutls: Added support for DSA signing/verifying with bit
2258 ** libgnutls-extra: When in FIPS mode gnutls_global_init_extra()
2259 has to be called to register any required md5 handlers.
2261 ** libgnutls: Internal buffering code was replaced by simpler
2262 code contributed by Jonathan Bastien-Filiatrault.
2264 ** libgnutls: Internal API for extensions augmented to allow
2265 safe storing and loading of data on resumption. This allows writing
2266 self-contained extensions (when possible). As a side effect
2267 the OPRFI extension was removed.
2269 ** libgnutls: Added support for DSA-SHA256 and DSA-SHA224
2271 ** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 support and an API to access objects in
2272 gnutls/pkcs11.h. Currently certificates and public keys can be
2273 imported from tokens, and operations can be performed on private keys.
2275 ** libgnutls: Added abstract gnutls_privkey_t and gnutls_pubkey_t
2277 ** libgnutls: Added initial support for the nettle library. It uses
2278 the system's random generator for seeding. That is /dev/urandom in Linux,
2279 system calls in Win32 and EGD on other systems.
2281 ** libgnutls: Corrected issue on the %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string. It now
2282 works even when resuming a session.
2284 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function() to replace the
2285 similar gnutls_certificate_set_server_retrieve_function() and
2286 gnutls_certificate_set_client_retrieve_function(). In addition it support
2287 PKCS #11 private keys.
2289 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_crt(), gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_privkey(),
2290 and gnutls_pkcs11_delete_url() to allow copying and deleting data in tokens.
2292 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() et al. to allow select bit
2293 sizes for private keys using a human understandable scale.
2295 ** certtool: Added new options: --pkcs11-list-tokens, --pkcs11-list-all
2296 --pkcs11-list-all-certs, --pkcs11-list-trusted, --pkcs11-list-certs,
2297 --pkcs11-delete-url, --pkcs11-write
2299 certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
2300 private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior can
2301 be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
2303 certtool: Added --certificate-pubkey to print the public key of the
2306 ** gnutls-cli/gnutls-serv: --x509cafile, --x509certfile and --x509keyfile
2307 can now accept a PKCS #11 URL in addition to a file. This will allow for
2308 example to use the Gnome-keyring trusted certificate list to verify
2309 connections using a url such as:
2310 pkcs11:token=Root%20CA%20Certificates;serial=1%3AROOTS%3ADEFAULT;model=1%2E0;manufacturer=Gnome%20Keyring

2391 * Version 2.10.1 (released 2010-07-25)
2393 ** libgnutls: Added support for broken certificates that indicate RSA
2396 ** gnutls-cli: Allow verification using V1 CAs.
2398 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
2399 gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
2400 is unable to decode the key.
2402 ** libgnutls: Correctly deinitialize crypto API functions to prevent
2403 a memory leak. Reported by Mads Kiilerich.
2405 ** certtool: If asked to generate DSA keys of size more than 1024 bits,
2406 issue a warning, that the output key might not be working everywhere.
2408 ** certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
2409 private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior
2410 can be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
2412 ** API and ABI modifications:
2413 No changes since last version.
2415 * Version 2.10.0 (released 2010-06-25)
2417 ** API and ABI modifications:
2418 No changes since last version.
2420 * Version 2.9.12 (released 2010-06-17)
2422 ** gnutls-cli: Make --starttls work again.
2423 Problem introduced in patch to use read() instead of fgets() committed
2426 ** API and ABI modifications:
2427 No changes since last version.
2429 * Version 2.9.11 (released 2010-06-07)
2431 ** libgnutls: Removed two APIs related to safe renegotiation.
2432 Use priority strings instead. The APIs were
2433 gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial and gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set.
2434 (Remember that we don't promise ABI stability during development
2435 series, so this doesn't cause an shared library ABI increment.)
2437 ** tests: More self testing of safe renegotiation extension.
2438 See tests/safe-renegotiation/README for more information.
2440 ** doc: a PDF version of the API reference manual (GTK-DOC) is now built.
2442 ** doc: Terms 'GNUTLS' and 'GNU TLS' were changed to 'GnuTLS' for consistency.
2444 ** API and ABI modifications:
2445 gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial: REMOVED.
2446 gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set: REMOVED.
2448 * Version 2.9.10 (released 2010-04-22)
2450 ** libgnutls: Time verification extended to trusted certificate list.
2451 Unless new constant GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TRUSTED_TIME_CHECKS flag is
2454 ** certtool: Display postalCode and Name X.509 DN attributes correctly.
2455 Based on patch by Pavan Konjarla. Adds new constant
2456 GNUTLS_OID_X520_POSTALCODE and GNUTLS_OID_X520_NAME.
2458 ** libgnutls: Added Steve Dispensa's patch for safe renegotiation (RFC 5746)
2459 Solves the issue discussed in:
2460 <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03928.html> and
2461 <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03948.html>.
2462 Note that to allow connecting to unpatched servers the full protection
2463 is only enabled if the priority string %SAFE_RENEGOTIATION is
2464 specified. You can check whether protection is in place by querying
2465 gnutls_safe_renegotiation_status(). New error codes
2466 GNUTLS_E_SAFE_RENEGOTIATION_FAILED and
2467 GNUTLS_E_UNSAFE_RENEGOTIATION_DENIED added.
2469 ** libgnutls: When checking openpgp self signature also check the signatures
2471 Ilari Liusvaara noticed and reported the issue and provided test
2474 ** libgnutls: Added cryptodev support (/dev/crypto).
2475 Tested with http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/cryptodev/. Added
2476 benchmark utility for AES. Adds new error codes
2477 GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_IOCTL_ERROR and GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_DEVICE_ERROR.
2479 ** libgnutls: Exported API to access encryption and hash algorithms.
2480 The new API functions are gnutls_cipher_decrypt, gnutls_cipher_deinit,
2481 gnutls_cipher_encrypt, gnutls_cipher_get_block_size,
2482 gnutls_cipher_init, gnutls_hash, gnutls_hash_deinit, gnutls_hash_fast,
2483 gnutls_hash_get_len, gnutls_hash_init, gnutls_hash_output,
2484 gnutls_hmac, gnutls_hmac_deinit, gnutls_hmac_fast,
2485 gnutls_hmac_get_len, gnutls_hmac_init, gnutls_hmac_output. New API
2486 constants are GNUTLS_MAC_SHA224 and GNUTLS_DIG_SHA224.
2488 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function() to allow
2489 verification of certificate upon receipt rather than waiting until the
2490 end of the handshake.
2492 ** libgnutls: Don't send alerts during handshake.
2493 Instead new error code GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME is added.
2495 ** certtool: Corrected two issues that affected certificate request generation.
2496 (1) Null padding is added on integers (found thanks to Wilankar Trupti),
2497 (2) In optional SignatureAlgorithm parameters field for DSA keys the DSA
2498 parameters were added. Those were rejected by Verisign. Gnutls no longer adds
2499 those parameters there since other implementations don't do either and having
2500 them does not seem to offer anything (anyway you need the signer's certificate
2501 to verify thus public key will be available). Found thanks to Boyan Kasarov.
2502 This however has the side-effect that public key IDs shown by certtool are
2503 now different than previous gnutls releases.
2504 (3) the option --pgp-certificate-info will verify self signatures
2506 ** certtool: Allow exporting of Certificate requests on DER format.
2508 ** certtool: New option --no-crq-extensions to avoid extensions in CSRs.
2510 ** gnutls-cli: Handle reading binary data from server.

2577 ** libgnutls: Fix for memory leaks on interrupted handshake.
2578 Reported by Tang Tong.
2580 ** libgnutls: Addition of support for TLS 1.2 signature algorithms
2581 ** extension and certificate verify field.
2582 This requires changes for TLS 1.2 servers and clients that use
2583 callbacks for certificate retrieval. They are now required to check
2584 with gnutls_sign_algorithm_get_requested() whether the certificate
2585 they send complies with the peer's preferences in signature
2588 ** libgnutls: In server side when resuming a session do not overwrite the
2589 ** initial session data with the resumed session data.
2591 ** libgnutls: Added support for AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 in PKCS #8
2593 This affects also PKCS #12 encoded files. This adds the following new
2594 enums: GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_192_CBC, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_128,
2595 GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_192, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_256.
2597 ** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 encoding.
2598 The error you would get was "The OID is not supported.". Problem
2599 introduced for the v2.8.x branch in 2.7.6.
2601 ** certtool: Added the --pkcs-cipher option.
2602 To explicitely specify the encryption algorithm to use.
2604 ** tests: Added "pkcs12_encode" self-test to check PKCS#12 functions.
2606 ** tests: Fix time bomb in chainverify self-test.
2607 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in

2647 ** libgnutls: Add new functions to extract X.509 Issuer Alternative Names.
2648 The new functions are gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name2,
2649 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name, and
2650 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_othername_oid. Contributed by Brad

2661 The new supported ciphersuites are AES-128/256 in CBC mode with
2662 ANON-DH/RSA/DHE-DSS/DHE-RSA. Contributed by Daiki Ueno. Further,
2663 SHA-256 is now the preferred default MAC (however it is only used with

2671 Reported by Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com> in
2672 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106975>.
2674 ** Fix use of deprecated types internally.
2675 Use of deprecated types in GnuTLS from now on will lead to a compile
2676 error, to prevent this from happening again.
2678 ** API and ABI modifications:
2679 No changes since last version.
2681 * Version 2.9.3 (released 2009-08-19)
2683 ** libgnutls: Support for TLS tickets was contributed by Daiki Ueno.
2684 The new APIs are gnutls_session_ticket_enable_client,
2685 gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server, and
2686 gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate.
2688 ** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: New parameter --noticket to disable TLS tickets.

2693 gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server: ADDED.
2695 * Version 2.9.2 (released 2009-08-14)
2697 ** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
2698 By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
2699 into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
2700 certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
2701 hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
2702 checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
2703 certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
2704 MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
2705 since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to

2747 ** libgnutls: Relax checking of required libtasn1/libgcrypt versions.
2748 Before we required that the runtime library used the same (or more

2790 VeriSign rejected CSRs with this padding. Reported by Wilankar Trupti
2791 <trupti.wilankar@hp.com> and Boyan Kasarov <bkasarov@gmail.com>.
2793 Note: As a side effect of this change, the "public key identifier"
2794 value computed for a certificate using this version of GnuTLS will be
2795 different from values computed using earlier versions of GnuTLS.
2797 ** libgnutls: For CSRs on DSA keys, don't add DSA parameters to the
2798 ** optional SignatureAlgorithm parameter field.
2799 VeriSign rejected these CSRs. They are stricly speaking not needed

2867 ** libgnutls: Fix patch for NUL in CN/SAN in last release.
2868 Code intended to be removed would lead to an read-out-bound error in
2869 some situations. Reported by Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>. A CVE

2885 * Version 2.8.2 (released 2009-08-10)
2887 ** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
2888 By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
2889 into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
2890 certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
2891 hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
2892 checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
2893 certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
2894 MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
2895 since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
2896 attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
2897 certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
2898 sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie

3061 No offically supported interfaces have been modified or removed. The
3062 library should be completely backwards compatible on both the source
3065 The shared library no longer exports some symbols that have never been
3066 officially supported, i.e., not mentioned in any of the header files.
3072 Normally when symbols are removed, the shared library version has to
3073 be incremented. This leads to a significant cost for everyone using
3074 the library. Because none of the above symbols have ever been
3075 intended for use by well-behaved applications, we decided that the it
3076 would be better for those applications to pay the price rather than
3077 incurring problems on the majority of applications.
3079 If it turns out that applications have been using unofficial
3080 interfaces, we will need to release a follow-on release on the v2.8
3081 branch to exports additional interfaces. However, initial testing
3082 suggests that few if any applications have been using any of the
3085 Although not a new change compared to 2.6.x, we'd like to remind you
3086 interfaces have been modified so that X.509 chain verification now
3087 also checks activation/expiration times on certificates. The affected
3090 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.

3097 This change in behaviour was made during the GnuTLS 2.6.x cycle, and
3098 we gave our rationale for it in earlier release notes.

3258 ** libgnutls: Fix DSA key generation.
3259 Merged from stable branch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-2] [CVE-2009-1416]
3261 ** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
3262 Merged from stable branch. Reported by Romain Francoise
3263 <romain@orebokech.com>. This changes the semantics of
3264 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in turn is used by
3265 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.
3266 We add two new gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new
3267 error condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED.
3268 We also add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
3269 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new
3270 behaviour. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-3] [CVE-2009-1417]
3272 ** lib: Linker version scripts reduces number of exported symbols.
3273 The linker version script now lists all exported ABIs explicitly, to
3274 avoid accidentally exporting unintended functions. Compared to
3275 before, most symbols beginning with _gnutls* are no longer exported.
3276 These functions have never been intended for use by applications, and
3277 there were no prototypes for these function in the public header
3278 files. Thus we believe it is possible to do this without incrementing
3279 the library ABI version which normally has to be done when removing an
3282 ** lib: Limit exported symbols on systems without LD linker scripts.
3283 Before all symbols were exported. Now we limit the exported symbols
3284 to (for libgnutls and libgnutls-extra) gnutls* and (for libgnutls)
3285 _gnutls*. This is a superset of the actual supported ABI, but still
3286 an improvement compared to before. This is implemented using Libtool
3287 -export-symbols-regex. It is more portable than linker version
3290 ** libgnutls: Incremented CURRENT/AGE libtool version to reflect new symbols.
3291 This should have been done in the last release.
3293 ** gnutls-serv: Listen on all interfaces, including both IPv4 and IPv6.
3294 Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
3295 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3476>.
3297 ** doc: Improved sections for the info manual.
3298 We now follow the advice given by the texinfo manual on which
3299 directory categories to use. In particular, libgnutls moved from the
3300 'GNU Libraries' section to the 'Software libraries' and the command
3301 line tools moved from 'Network Applications' to 'System
3304 ** API and ABI modifications:
3305 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
3306 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
3307 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
3308 GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.
3309 GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED: ADDED.
3310 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
3312 * Version 2.7.7 (released 2009-04-20)
3314 ** libgnutls: Applied patch by Cedric Bail to add functions
3315 gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash() and gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm().
3317 ** gnutls.pc: Add -ltasn1 to 'pkg-config --libs --static gnutls' output.

3319 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3467>.
3321 ** minitasn1: Internal copy updated to libtasn1 v1.8.
3322 GnuTLS is also internally ready to be used with libtasn1 v2.0.

3325 Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org> in
3326 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3435>.
3328 ** i18n: The GnuTLS gettext domain is now 'libgnutls' instead of 'gnutls'.
3329 It is currently only used by the core library. This will enable a new
3330 domain 'gnutls' for translations of the command line tools.
3332 ** Corrected possible memory corruption on signature verification failure.
3333 Reported by Miroslav Kratochvil <exa.exa@gmail.com>
3335 ** API and ABI modifications:
3336 gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash: ADDED
3337 gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm: ADDED
3339 * Version 2.7.6 (released 2009-02-27)
3341 ** certtool: Query for multiple dnsName subjectAltName in interactive mode.
3342 This applies both to generating certificates and certificate requests.
3344 ** pkix.asn: Removed unneeded definitions to reduce memory usage.
3346 ** gnutls-cli: No longer accepts V1 CAs by default during X.509 chain verify.
3347 Use --priority NORMAL:%VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT to permit V1 CAs to
3348 be used for chain verification.
3350 ** gnutls-serv: No longer disable MAC padding by default.
3351 Use --priority NORMAL:%COMPAT to disable MAC padding again.
3353 ** gnutls-cli: Certificate information output format changed.
3354 The tool now uses libgnutls' functions to print certificate
3355 information. This avoids code duplication.
3357 ** libgnutls: New priority strings %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5
3358 ** and %VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT.
3359 They can be used to override the default certificate chain validation
3362 ** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
3363 specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy
3364 TLS servers. Report by Martin von Gagern.
3366 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_print prints signature algorithm in oneline mode.
3368 ** libgnutls: gnutls_openpgp_crt_print supports oneline mode.
3370 ** doc: Update gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv --help output descriptions.
3372 ** API and ABI modifications:
3373 No changes since last version.
3375 * Version 2.7.5 (released 2009-02-06)
3377 ** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
3378 Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
3379 self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
3380 found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
3381 useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
3382 intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
3383 To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
3384 explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
3385 The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
3386 has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
3387 <deengert@anl.gov> in
3388 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3390 ** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
3391 the size of the result. Report by John Brooks <special@dereferenced.net>.
3393 ** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
3394 rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
3395 Reported by Tristan Hill <stan@saticed.me.uk>.
3397 ** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
3398 Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
3399 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
3400 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
3401 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in
3402 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3404 ** API and ABI modifications:
3405 No changes since last version.
3407 * Version 2.7.4 (released 2009-01-07)
3409 ** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
3410 This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
3411 certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
3412 for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
3413 <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
3414 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
3415 debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
3416 Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.
3418 ** libgnutls: New interface to get key id for certificate requests.
3419 Patch from David Marín Carreño <davefx@gmail.com> in
3420 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3321>.
3422 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crq_print will now also print public key id.
3424 ** certtool: --verify-chain now prints results of using library verification.
3425 Earlier, certtool --verify-chain used its own validation algorithm
3426 which wasn't guaranteed to give the same result as the libgnutls
3427 internal validation algorithm. Now this command print a new final
3428 line with header 'Chain verification output:' that contains the result
3429 from using the internal verification algorithm on the same chain.
3431 ** tests: Add crq_key_id self-test of gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id.
3433 ** API and ABI modifications:
3434 gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id: ADDED.
3436 * Version 2.7.3 (released 2008-12-10)
3438 ** libgnutls: Fix chain verification for chains that ends with RSA-MD2 CAs.
3439 Reported by Michael Kiefer <Michael-Kiefer@web.de> in

3441 Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
3442 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3309>.
3444 ** libgnutls: Libgcrypt initialization changed.
3445 If libgcrypt has not already been initialized, GnuTLS will now
3446 initialize libgcrypt with disabled secure memory. Initialize
3447 libgcrypt explicitly in your application if you want to enable secure
3448 memory. Before GnuTLS initialized libgcrypt to use GnuTLS's memory
3449 allocation functions, which doesn't use secure memory, so there is no
3450 real change in behaviour.
3452 ** libgnutls: Fix memory leak in PSK authentication.
3453 Reported by Michael Weiser <michael@weiser.dinsnail.net> in
3454 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1465>.
3456 ** libgnutls: Small byte reads via gnutls_record_recv() optimized.
3458 ** certtool: Move gcry_control(GCRYCTL_ENABLE_QUICK_RANDOM, 0) call earlier.
3459 It needs to be invoked before libgcrypt is initialized.
3461 ** gnutls-cli: Return non-zero exit code on error conditions.
3463 ** gnutls-cli: Corrected bug which caused a rehandshake request to be ignored.
3465 ** tests: Added chainverify self-test that tests X.509 chain verifications.
3467 ** API and ABI modifications:
3468 No changes since last version.
3470 * Version 2.7.2 (released 2008-11-18)
3472 ** libgnutls: Fix X.509 certificate chain validation error. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-3]
3473 The flaw makes it possible for man in the middle attackers (i.e.,
3474 active attackers) to assume any name and trick GnuTLS clients into
3475 trusting that name. Thanks for report and analysis from Martin von
3476 Gagern <Martin.vGagern@gmx.net>. [CVE-2008-4989]
3478 Any updates with more details about this vulnerability will be added
3479 to <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
3481 ** libgnutls: Fix namespace issue with version symbols.
3482 The symbols LIBGNUTLS_VERSION, LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR,
3483 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR, LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH, and
3484 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER were renamed to GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER,
3485 GNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR, GNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR, GNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH, and
3486 GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER respectively. The old symbols will continue to
3487 work but are deprecated.
3489 ** certtool: allow setting arbitrary key purpose object identifiers.
3491 ** libgnutls: Fix detection of C99 macros, to make debug logging work again.
3493 ** libgnutls: Add missing prototype for gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits.

3540 ** Old libgnutls.m4 and libgnutls-config scripts removed.
3541 Please use pkg-config instead.
3543 ** Configuration system modified.
3544 There is now a configure script in lib/ and libextra/ as well, because
3545 gnulib works better with a config.h per gnulib directory.

3573 Patch by ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès).
3575 ** Changed detection of libtasn1 and libgcrypt to avoid depending on *-config.
3576 We now require a libgcrypt that has Camellia constants declared in

3607 ** libgnutls: Corrected double free on signature verification failure.
3608 Reported by Miroslav Kratochvil <exa.exa@gmail.com>. See the advisory
3609 for more details. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-1] [CVE-2009-1415]
3611 ** libgnutls: Fix DSA key generation.
3612 Noticed when investigating the previous GNUTLS-SA-2009-1 problem. All
3613 DSA keys generated using GnuTLS 2.6.x are corrupt. See the advisory
3614 for more details. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-2] [CVE-2009-1416]
3616 ** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
3617 Reported by Romain Francoise <romain@orebokech.com>. Before the
3618 library did not check activation/expiration times on certificates, and
3619 was documented as not doing so. We have realized that many
3620 applications that use libgnutls, including gnutls-cli, fail to perform
3621 proper checks. Implementing similar logic in all applications leads
3622 to code duplication. Hence, we decided to check whether the current
3623 time (as reported by the time function) is within the
3624 activation/expiration period of certificates when verifying untrusted
3627 This changes the semantics of gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in
3628 turn is used by gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and
3629 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2. We add two new
3630 gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new error
3631 condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED. We also
3632 add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
3633 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new

3656 ** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
3657 specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy

3665 No changes since last version.
3667 * Version 2.6.4 (released 2009-02-06)
3669 ** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
3670 Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
3671 self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
3672 found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
3673 useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
3674 intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
3675 To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
3676 explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
3677 The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
3678 has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"

3680 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3682 ** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
3683 the size of the result. Report by John Brooks <special@dereferenced.net>.
3685 ** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
3686 rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
3687 Reported by Tristan Hill <stan@saticed.me.uk>.
3689 ** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
3690 Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
3691 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
3692 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
3693 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in
3694 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3696 ** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
3697 This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
3698 certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
3699 for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
3700 <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
3701 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
3702 debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
3703 Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.
3705 ** libgnutls: Fix compile error with Sun CC.
3706 Reported by Jeff Cai <jeff.cai@sun.com> in
3707 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106549>.
3709 ** API and ABI modifications:
3710 No changes since last version.
3712 * Version 2.6.3 (released 2008-12-12)
3714 ** libgnutls: Fix chain verification for chains that ends with RSA-MD2 CAs.
3715 Reported by Michael Kiefer <Michael-Kiefer@web.de> in
3716 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507633> forwarded by
3717 Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in

3720 ** libgnutls: Fix memory leak in PSK authentication.
3721 Reported by Michael Weiser <michael@weiser.dinsnail.net> in
3722 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1465>.
3724 ** certtool: Move gcry_control(GCRYCTL_ENABLE_QUICK_RANDOM, 0) call earlier.
3725 It needs to be invoked before libgcrypt is initialized.
3727 ** gnutls-cli: Return non-zero exit code on error conditions.
3729 ** gnutls-cli: Corrected bug which caused a rehandshake request to be ignored.
3731 ** API and ABI modifications:
3732 No changes since last version.
3734 * Version 2.6.2 (released 2008-11-12)
3736 ** libgnutls: Fix crash in X.509 validation code for self-signed certificates.
3737 The patch to fix the security problem GNUTLS-SA-2008-3 introduced a
3738 problem for certificate chains that contained just one self-signed
3739 certificate. Reported by Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org> in
3740 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505279>.
3742 ** API and ABI modifications:
3743 No changes since last version.
3745 * Version 2.6.1 (released 2008-11-10)
3747 ** libgnutls: Fix X.509 certificate chain validation error. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-3]
3748 The flaw makes it possible for man in the middle attackers (i.e.,
3749 active attackers) to assume any name and trick GnuTLS clients into
3750 trusting that name. Thanks for report and analysis from Martin von
3751 Gagern <Martin.vGagern@gmx.net>. [CVE-2008-4989]
3753 Any updates with more details about this vulnerability will be added
3754 to <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
3756 ** libgnutls: Add missing prototype for gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits.
3757 Reported by Kevin Quick <quick@sparq.org> in
3758 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106454>.
3760 ** libgnutls-extra: Protect internal symbols with static.
3761 Fixes problem when linking certtool statically. Tiny patch from Aaron
3762 Ucko <ucko@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov>.
3764 ** libgnutls-openssl: Fix patch against X509_get_issuer_name.
3765 It incorrectly returned the subject DN instead of issuer DN in v2.6.0.
3766 Thanks to Thomas Viehmann <tv@beamnet.de> for report.
3768 ** certtool: Print a PKCS #8 key even if it is not encrypted.
3770 ** tests: Make tests compile when using internal libtasn1.
3771 Patch by ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès).
3773 ** API and ABI modifications:
3774 No changes since last version.
3776 * Version 2.6.0 (released 2008-10-06)
3778 ** libgnutls: Correct printing and parsing of IPv6 addresses.
3780 ** libgnutls-openssl: fix out of bounds access.
3781 Problem in X509_get_subject_name and X509_get_issuer_name. Tiny patch
3782 from Thomas Viehmann <tv@beamnet.de>.
3784 ** certtool: Use inet_pton for parsing IPv6 addresses.
3786 ** Major changes compared to the v2.4 branch:
3788 *** Added API to replace and update the crypto backend.
3790 *** certtool: can add several subject alternative names via template file.
3792 *** opencdk: Parse (but not decrypt) encrypted secret keys.
3794 *** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_set_subject_alt_name() was added that can
3795 either set or append alternative names. It can also handle binary structures
3796 such as IP addresses.
3798 *** libgnutls: New function to set minimum acceptable SRP bits.
3799 The function is gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits.
3801 *** libgnutls: Add interface to deal with public key and signature algorithms.
3802 The functions are called gnutls_pk_list, gnutls_pk_get_id,
3803 gnutls_sign_list, and gnutls_sign_get_id.
3805 *** libgnutls: New interfaces to get name of public key and signing algorithms.
3806 The functions are gnutls_sign_get_name and gnutls_pk_get_name.
3808 *** libgnutls: New API to get a string corresponding to a error symbol.
3809 The function is gnutls_strerror_name.
3811 *** libgnutls: New API to set the public parameters in a certificate request
3812 *** from a private key.
3813 The function is gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw.
3815 *** libgnutls: New API to set a callback to extract TLS Finished data.
3816 The function to register is gnutls_session_set_finished_function and
3817 it takes a callback of the gnutls_finished_callback_func type.
3819 *** libgnutls: Fix namespace problem with TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE.
3821 *** libgnutls: New interface to register a new TLS extension handler.
3822 The new function gnutls_ext_register can be used to register handlers
3823 for specific TLS extension types. The callback functions have the new
3824 types gnutls_ext_recv_func and gnutls_ext_send_func. A type to
3825 classify TLS extensions, gnutls_ext_parse_type_t, has been added as
3828 *** libgnutls-extra: Add function to work with Libgcrypt in FIPS mode.
3829 The function is gnutls_register_md5_handler. When libgcrypt is in
3830 FIPS mode, MD5 is disabled, but TLS normally requires use of MD5 in
3833 *** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.6
3834 No functions have been removed or modified. The library should be
3835 fully backwards compatible on both the source and binary level.
3837 A new header file <gnutls/crypto.h> have been added. It contains
3838 definitions related to replacing the internal crypto functionality.
3839 All definitions and the header itself is experimental but supported.
3841 We have realized that the symbols TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE
3842 does not use the normal namespace. We have added GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE
3843 and GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE, but the old symbols are still defined.
3845 The following functions have been added to libgnutls:
3849 gnutls_crypto_bigint_register2
3850 gnutls_crypto_cipher_register2
3851 gnutls_crypto_digest_register2
3852 gnutls_crypto_mac_register2
3853 gnutls_crypto_pk_register2
3854 gnutls_crypto_rnd_register2
3855 gnutls_crypto_single_cipher_register2
3856 gnutls_crypto_single_digest_register2
3857 gnutls_crypto_single_mac_register2
3862 gnutls_session_set_finished_function
3864 gnutls_sign_get_name
3866 gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits:
3867 gnutls_strerror_name
3868 gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw
3869 gnutls_x509_crt_set_crl_dist_points2
3870 gnutls_x509_crt_set_subject_alt_name
