6 * Version 3.4.0 (unreleased)
8 ** libgnutls: Use pthread_atfork() to detect fork.
10 ** libgnutls: Added helper functions to obtain information on PKCS #8
13 ** libgnutls: Use nettle's PBKDF2 implementation.
15 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname() and friends will use
16 RFC6125 comparison of hostnames. That introduces a dependency on libidn.
18 ** libgnutls: when printing a certificate request print the signature
21 ** libgnutls: the verification flag GNUTLS_REQUIRE_KEY_PURPOSE_ON_INTERMEDIATE
22 is introduced, and forces the application of the desired key purpose (extended
23 key usage) into intermediate certificates. The verification result
24 GNUTLS_CERT_PURPOSE_MISMATCH is also introduced.
26 ** certtool: Added --p8-info option, which will print PKCS #8 information
27 even if the password is not available.
29 ** certtool: --key-info option will print PKCS #8 encryption information
32 ** certtool: --p12-info option will print PKCS #12 MAC and cipher information
35 ** certtool: it will print the A-label (ACE) names in addition to UTF-8.
37 ** API and ABI modifications:

53 gnutls_privkey_export_openpgp: Added
54 gnutls_privkey_import_ext3: Added
55 gnutls_certificate_get_x509_key: Added
56 gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crt: Added
57 gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_key: Added
58 gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_crt: Added
61 * Version 3.3.6 (released 2014-07-23)
63 ** libgnutls: Use inet_ntop to print IP addresses when available
65 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname and friends will also check
66 IP addresses, and match documented behavior. Reported by David Woodhouse.
68 ** libgnutls: DSA key generation in FIPS140-2 mode doesn't allow 1024
71 ** libgnutls: fixed issue in gnutls_pkcs11_reinit() which prevented tokens
72 being usable after a reinitialization.
74 ** libgnutls: fixed PKCS #11 private key operations after a fork.
76 ** libgnutls: fixed PKCS #11 ECDSA key generation.
78 ** libgnutls: The GNUTLS_CPUID_OVERRIDE environment variable can be used to
79 explicitly enable/disable the use of certain CPU capabilities. Note that CPU
80 detection cannot be overriden, i.e., VIA options cannot be enabled on an Intel
81 CPU. The currently available options are:
82 0x1: Disable all run-time detected optimizations
86 0x100000: Enable VIA padlock
87 0x200000: Enable VIA PHE
88 0x400000: Enable VIA PHE SHA512
90 ** libdane: added dane_query_to_raw_tlsa(); patch by Simon Arlott.
92 ** p11tool: use GNUTLS_SO_PIN to read the security officer's PIN if set.
94 ** p11tool: ask for label when one isn't provided.
96 ** p11tool: added --batch parameter to disable any interactivity.
98 ** p11tool: will not implicitly enable so-login for certain types of
99 objects. That avoids issues with tokens that require different login
102 ** certtool/p11tool: Added the --curve parameter which allows to explicitly
103 specify the curve to use.
105 ** API and ABI modifications:
106 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_dir: Added
107 gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_dir: Added
110 * Version 3.3.5 (released 2014-06-26)
112 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_record_recv_packet() and gnutls_packet_deinit().
113 These functions provide a variant of gnutls_record_recv() that avoids
114 the final memcpy of data.
116 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crl_iter_crt_serial() was added as a
117 faster variant of gnutls_x509_crl_get_crt_serial() when coping with
118 very large structures.
120 ** libgnutls: When the decoding of a printable DN element fails, then treat
121 it as unknown and print its hex value rather than failing. That works around
122 an issue in a TURKTRST root certificate which improperly encodes the
123 X520countryName element.
125 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_file() will return the number
126 of certificates present in a PKCS #11 token when loading it.
128 ** libgnutls: Allow the post client hello callback to put the handshake on
129 hold, by returning GNUTLS_E_AGAIN or GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED.
131 ** certtool: option --to-p12 will now consider --load-ca-certificate
133 ** certtol: Added option to specify the PKCS #12 friendly name on command
136 ** p11tool: Allow marking a certificate copied to a token as a CA.
138 ** API and ABI modifications:
139 GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAG_MARK_CA: Added
140 gnutls_x509_crl_iter_deinit: Added
141 gnutls_x509_crl_iter_crt_serial: Added
142 gnutls_record_recv_packet: Added
143 gnutls_packet_deinit: Added
144 gnutls_packet_get: Added
147 * Version 3.3.4 (released 2014-05-31)
149 ** libgnutls: Updated Andy Polyakov's assembly code. That prevents a
150 crash on certain CPUs.
152 ** API and ABI modifications:
153 No changes since last version.
156 * Version 3.3.3 (released 2014-05-30)
158 ** libgnutls: Eliminated memory corruption issue in Server Hello parsing.
159 Issue reported by Joonas Kuorilehto of Codenomicon.
161 ** libgnutls: gnutls_global_set_mutex() was modified to operate with the
162 new initialization process.
164 ** libgnutls: Increased the maximum certificate size buffer
165 in the PKCS #11 subsystem.
167 ** libgnutls: Check the return code of getpwuid_r() instead of relying
168 on the result value. That avoids issue in certain systems, when using
169 tofu authentication and the home path cannot be determined. Issue reported
172 ** libgnutls-dane: Improved dane_verify_session_crt(), which now attempts to
173 create a full chain. This addresses points from https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?108552
175 ** gnutls-cli: --dane will only check the end certificate if PKIX validation
178 ** gnutls-cli: --benchmark-soft-ciphers has been removed. That option cannot
179 be emulated with the implicit initialization of gnutls.
181 ** certtool: Allow multiple organizations and organizational unit names to
182 be specified in a template.
184 ** certtool: Warn when invalid configuration options are set to a template.
186 ** ocsptool: Include path in ocsp request. This resolves #108582
187 (https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108582), reported by Matt McCutchen.
189 ** API and ABI modifications:
190 gnutls_credentials_get: Added
193 * Version 3.3.2 (released 2014-05-06)
195 ** libgnutls: Added the 'very weak' certificate verification profile
196 that corresponds to 64-bit security level.
198 ** libgnutls: Corrected file descriptor leak on random generator
201 ** libgnutls: Corrected file descriptor leak on PSK password file
202 reading. Issue identified using the Codenomicon TLS test suite.
204 ** libgnutls: Avoid deinitialization if initialization has failed.
206 ** libgnutls: null-terminate othername alternative names.
208 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_trust_list_get_issuer() will operate correctly
209 on a PKCS #11 trust list.
211 ** libgnutls: Several small bug fixes identified using valgrind and
212 the Codenomicon TLS test suite.
214 ** libgnutls-dane: Accept a certificate using DANE if there is at least one
215 entry that matches the certificate. Patch by simon [at] arlott.org.
217 ** libgnutls-guile: Fixed compilation issue.
219 ** certtool: Allow exporting a CRL on DER format.
221 ** certtool: The ECDSA keys generated by default use the SECP256R1 curve
222 which is supported more widely than the previously used SECP224R1.
224 ** API and ABI modifications:
225 GNUTLS_PROFILE_VERY_WEAK: Added
228 * Version 3.3.1 (released 2014-04-19)
230 ** libgnutls: Enforce more strict checks to heartbeat messages
231 concerning padding and payload. Suggested by Peter Dettman.
233 ** libgnutls: Allow decoding PKCS #8 files with ECC parameters
236 ** libgnutls: Several small bug fixes found by coverity.
238 ** libgnutls: The conditionally available self-test functions
239 were moved to self-test.h.
241 ** libgnutls: Fixed issue with the check of incoming data when two
242 different recv and send pointers have been specified. Reported and
243 investigated by JMRecio.
245 ** libgnutls: Fixed issue in the RSA-PSK key exchange, which would
246 result to illegal memory access if a server hint was provided. Reported
249 ** libgnutls: Fixed client memory leak in the PSK key exchange, if a
250 server hint was provided.
252 ** libgnutls: Corrected the *get_*_othername_oid() functions.
254 ** API and ABI modifications:
255 No changes since last version.
258 * Version 3.3.0 (released 2014-04-10)
260 ** libgnutls: The initialization of the library was moved to a
261 constructor. That is, gnutls_global_init() is no longer required
262 unless linking with a static library or a system that does not
263 support library constructors.
265 ** libgnutls: static libraries are not built by default.
267 ** libgnutls: PKCS #11 initialization is delayed to first usage.
268 That avoids long delays in gnutls initialization due to broken PKCS #11
271 ** libgnutls: The PKCS #11 subsystem is re-initialized "automatically"
272 on the first PKCS #11 API call after a fork.
274 ** libgnutls: certificate verification profiles were introduced
275 that can be specified as flags to verification functions. They
276 are enumerations in gnutls_certificate_verification_profiles_t
277 and can be converted to flags for use in a verification function
278 using GNUTLS_PROFILE_TO_VFLAGS().
280 ** libgnutls: Added the ability to read system-specific initial
281 keywords, if they are prefixed with '@'. That allows a compile-time
282 specified configuration file to be used to read pre-configured priority
283 strings from. That can be used to impose system specific policies.
285 ** libgnutls: Increased the default security level of priority
286 strings (NORMAL and PFS strings require at minimum a 1008 DH prime),
287 and set a verification profile by default. The LEGACY keyword is
288 introduced to set the old defaults.
290 ** libgnutls: Added support for the name constraints PKIX extension.
291 Currently only DNS names and e-mails are supported (no URIs, IPs
294 ** libgnutls: Security parameter SEC_PARAM_NORMAL was renamed to
295 SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM to avoid confusion with the priority string NORMAL.
297 ** libgnutls: Added new API in x509-ext.h to handle X.509 extensions.
298 This API handles the X.509 extensions in isolation, allowing to parse
299 similarly formatted extensions stored in other structures.
301 ** libgnutls: When generating DSA keys the macro GNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS
302 can be used to specify a particular subgroup as the number of bits in
303 gnutls_privkey_generate; e.g., GNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS(2048, 256).
305 ** libgnutls: DH parameter generation is now delegated to nettle.
306 That unfortunately has the side-effect that DH parameters longer than
307 3072 bits, cannot be generated (not without a nettle update).
309 ** libgnutls: Separated nonce RNG from the main RNG. The nonce
310 random number generator is based on salsa20/12.
312 ** libgnutls: The buffer alignment provided to crypto backend is
313 enforced to be 16-byte aligned, when compiled with cryptodev
314 support. That allows certain cryptodev drivers to operate more
317 ** libgnutls: Return error when a public/private key pair that doesn't
318 match is set into a credentials structure.
320 ** libgnutls: Depend on p11-kit 0.20.0 or later.
322 ** libgnutls: The new padding (%NEW_PADDING) experimental TLS extension has
323 been removed. It was not approved by IETF.
325 ** libgnutls: The experimental xssl library is removed from the gnutls
328 ** libgnutls: Reduced the number of gnulib modules used in the main library.
330 ** libgnutls: Added priority string %DISABLE_WILDCARDS.
332 ** libgnutls: Added the more extensible verification function
333 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers(), that allows checking, in addition
334 to a peer's DNS hostname, for the key purpose of the end certificate
335 (via PKIX extended key usage).
337 ** certtool: Timestamps for serial numbers were increased to 8 bytes,
338 and in batch mode to 12 (appended with 4 random bytes).
340 ** certtool: When no CRL number is provided (or value set to -1), then
341 a time-based number will be used, similarly to the serial generation
342 number in certificates.
344 ** certtool: Print the SHA256 fingerprint of a certificate in addition
347 ** libgnutls: Added --enable-fips140-mode configuration option (unsupported).
348 That option enables (when running on FIPS140-enabled system):
349 o RSA, DSA and DH key generation as in FIPS-186-4 (using provable primes)
350 o The DRBG-CTR-AES256 deterministic random generator from SP800-90A.
351 o Self-tests on initialization on ciphers/MACs, public key algorithms
352 and the random generator.
353 o HMAC-SHA256 verification of the library on load.
354 o MD5 is included for TLS purposes but cannot be used by the high level
356 o All ciphers except AES are disabled.
357 o All MACs and hashes except GCM and SHA are disabled (e.g., HMAC-MD5).
358 o All keys (temporal and long term) are zeroized after use.
359 o Security levels are adjusted to the FIPS140-2 recommendations (rather

704 with encrypted keys. Reported by Yan Fiz.
706 ** libgnutls: The minimum DH bits accepted by priorities NORMAL and
707 PERFORMANCE was set to previous defaults 727 bits. Reported by Diego
710 ** libgnutls: Corrected issue which prevented gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash()
711 to operate with long keys. Reported by Erik A Jensen.
713 ** API and ABI modifications:
714 No changes since last version.
717 * Version 3.1.7 (released 2013-02-04)
719 ** certtool: Added option "dn" which allows to directly set the DN
720 in a template from an RFC4514 string.
722 ** danetool: Added options: --dlv and --insecure. Suggested by Paul Wouters.
724 ** libgnutls-xssl: Added a new library to simplify GnuTLS usage.
726 ** libgnutls-dane: Added function to specify a DLV file.
728 ** libgnutls: Heartbeat code was made optional.
730 ** libgnutls: Fixes in server side of DTLS-0.9.
732 ** libgnutls: DN variable 'T' was expanded to 'title'.
734 ** libgnutls: Fixes in record padding parsing to prevent a timing attack.
735 Issue reported by Kenny Paterson and Nadhem Alfardan.
737 ** libgnutls: Added functions to directly set the DN in a certificate
738 or request from an RFC4514 string.
740 ** libgnutls: Optimizations in the random generator. The re-seeding of
741 it is now explicitly done on every session deinit.
743 ** libgnutls: Simplified the DTLS sliding window implementation.
745 ** libgnutls: The minimum DH bits accepted by a client are now set
746 by the specified priority string. The current values correspond to the
747 previous defaults (727 bits), except for the SECURE128 and SECURE192
748 strings which increase the minimum to 1248 and 1776 respectively.
750 ** libgnutls: Added the gnutls_record_cork() and uncork API to enable
751 buffering in sending application data.
753 ** libgnutls: Removed default random padding, and added a length-hiding interface
754 instead. Both the server and the client must support this extension. Whether
755 length-hiding can be used on a given session can be checked using
756 gnutls_record_can_use_length_hiding(). Contributed by Alfredo Pironti.
758 ** libgnutls: Added the experimental %NEW_PADDING priority string. It enables
759 a new padding mechanism in TLS allowing arbitrary padding in TLS records
760 in all ciphersuites, which makes length-hiding more efficient and solves
761 the issues with timing attacks on CBC ciphersuites.
763 ** libgnutls: Corrected gnutls_cipher_decrypt2() when used with AEAD
764 ciphers (i.e., AES-GCM). Reported by William McGovern.

826 ** libgnutls: Added functions to parse the certificates policies
829 ** libgnutls: Handle BMPString (UCS-2) encoding in the Distinguished
830 Name by translating it to UTF-8 (works on windows or systems with iconv).
832 ** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 key generation function that returns the
833 public key on generation.
835 ** libgnutls: Corrected bug in priority string parsing, that mostly
836 affected combined levels. Patch by Tim Kosse.
838 ** certtool: The --pubkey-info option can be combined with the
839 --load-privkey or --load-request to print the corresponding public keys.
841 ** certtool: It is able to set certificate policies via a template.
843 ** certtool: Added --hex-numbers option which prints big numbers in
844 an easier to parse format.
846 ** p11tool: After key generation, outputs the public key (useful in
847 tokens that do not store the public key).
849 ** danetool: It is being built even without libgnutls-dane (the
850 --check functionality is disabled though).
852 ** API and ABI modifications:

944 response corresponds to the given certificate.
946 ** libgnutls: In client side gnutls_init() enables the session ticket and
947 OCSP certificate status request extensions by default. The flag
948 GNUTLS_NO_EXTENSIONS can be used to prevent that.
950 ** libgnutls: Several updates in the OpenPGP code. The generating code
951 is fully RFC6091 compliant and RFC5081 support is only supported in client
954 ** libgnutls-dane: Added. It is a library to provide DANE with DNSSEC
955 certificate verification.
957 ** gnutls-cli: Added --dane option to enable DANE certificate verification.

1001 ** libgnutls: Corrected bug in OpenPGP subpacket encoding.
1003 ** libgnutls: Added support for DTLS/TLS heartbeats by Olga Smolenchuk.
1004 (the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
1006 ** libgnutls: Added X.509 certificate verification flag
1007 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_UNSORTED_CHAIN. This flag allows the verification
1008 of unsorted certificate chains and is enabled by default for
1009 TLS certificate verification (if gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags()
1010 does not override it).
1012 ** libgnutls: Prints warning on certificates that contain keys of
1013 an insecure level. If the %COMPAT priority flag is not specified
1014 the TLS connection fails.
1016 ** libgnutls: Correctly restore gnutls_record_recv() in DTLS mode
1017 if interrupted during the retrasmition of handshake data.
1019 ** libgnutls: Better mingw32 support (patch by LRN).

1022 key usage violation errors (they are far too common to ignore).
1024 ** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_STATELESS_COMPRESSION flag to gnutls_init(),
1025 which provides a tool to counter compression-related attacks where
1026 parts of the data are controlled by the attacker _and_ are placed in
1027 separate records (use with care - do not use compression if not sure).
1029 ** libgnutls: Depends on libtasn1 2.14 or later.
1031 ** certtool: Prints the number of bits of the public key algorithm
1032 parameter in a private key.
1034 ** API and ABI modifications:

1045 * Version 3.1.1 (released 2012-09-02)
1047 ** gnutls-serv: Listens on IPv6. Patch by Bernhard R. Link.
1049 ** certtool: Changes in password handling of certtool.
1050 Ask password when required and only if the '--password' option is not
1051 given. If the '--password' option is given during key generation then
1052 assume the PKCS #8 file format, instead of ignoring the password.
1054 ** tpmtool: No longer asks for key password in registered keys.
1056 ** libgnutls: Elliptic curve code was optimized by Ilya Tumaykin.
1057 wmNAF is now used for point multiplication and other optimizations.
1058 (the major part of the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
1060 ** libgnutls: The default pull_timeout_function only uses select
1061 instead of a combination of select() and recv() to prevent issues
1062 when used in stream sockets in some systems.
1064 ** libgnutls: Be tolerant in ECDSA signature violations (e.g. using
1065 SHA256 with a SECP384 curve instead of SHA-384), to interoperate with
1068 ** libgnutls: Fixed DSA and ECDSA signature generation in smart
1069 cards. Thanks to Andreas Schwier from cardcontact.de for providing
1070 me with ECDSA capable smart cards.
1072 ** API and ABI modifications:
1073 gnutls_sign_algorithm_get: Added
1074 gnutls_sign_get_hash_algorithm: Added
1075 gnutls_sign_get_pk_algorithm: Added
1078 * Version 3.1.0 (released 2012-08-15)
1080 ** libgnutls: Added direct support for TPM as a cryptographic module
1081 in gnutls/tpm.h. TPM keys can be used in functions accepting files
1082 using URLs of the following types:
1083 tpmkey:file=/path/to/file
1084 tpmkey:uuid=7f468c16-cb7f-11e1-824d-b3a4f4b20343;storage=user
1086 ** libgnutls: Priority string level keywords can be combined.
1087 For example the string "SECURE256:+SUITEB128" is now allowed.
1089 ** libgnutls: requires libnettle 2.5.
1091 ** libgnutls: Use the PKCS #1 1.5 encoding provided by nettle (2.5)
1092 for encryption and signatures.
1094 ** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE to differentiate between
1095 generic errors and signature verification errors in the verification
1098 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse() as a helper function
1099 to simplify parsing in most PKCS #12 use cases.
1101 ** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file() adds
1102 the whole certificate chain (if any) to the credentials structure, instead
1103 of only the end-user certificate.
1105 ** libgnutls: Key import functions such as gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse()
1106 and gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(), return consistently
1107 GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED if the input structure is encrypted but no
1108 password was provided.
1110 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_handshake_set_timeout() a function that
1111 allows to set the maximum time spent in a handshake.
1113 ** libgnutlsxx: Added session::set_transport_vec_push_function. Patch
1116 ** tpmtool: Added. It is a tool to generate private keys in the
1119 ** gnutls-cli: --benchmark-tls was split to --benchmark-tls-kx
1120 and --benchmark-tls-ciphers
1122 ** certtool: generated PKCS #12 structures may hold more than one
1123 private key. Patch by Lucas Fisher.
1125 ** certtool: Added option --null-password to generate/decrypt keys
1126 that use a NULL password (in schemas that distinguish between NULL
1127 an empty passwords).
1129 ** minitasn1: Upgraded to libtasn1 version 2.13.

1254 ** libgnutls: When decoding a PKCS #11 URL the pin-source field
1255 is assumed to be a file that stores the pin. Based on patch
1258 ** libgnutls: gnutls_record_check_pending() no longer
1259 returns unprocessed data, and thus ensure the non-blocking
1260 of the next call to gnutls_record_recv().
1262 ** libgnutls: Added strict tests in Diffie-Hellman and
1263 SRP key exchange public keys.

1409 for the RFC6460 requirements.
1411 ** libgnutls: Added new security parameter GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LEGACY
1412 to account for security level of 96-bits.
1414 ** libgnutls: In client side if server does not advertise any
1415 known CAs and only a single certificate is set in the credentials,
1418 ** libgnutls: Added functions to parse authority key identifiers
1419 when stored as a 'general name' and serial combo.
1421 ** libgnutls: Added function to force explicit reinitialization

1453 is to parse and extract information from OCSP requests/responses, to
1454 generate OCSP requests and to verify OCSP responses. See the manual
1455 for more information. Run ./configure with --disable-ocsp to build
1456 GnuTLS without OCSP support.
1458 This work was sponsored by Smoothwall <http://smoothwall.net/>.
1460 ** ocsptool: Added new command line tool.
1461 The tool can parse OCSP request/responses, generate OCSP requests and

1536 in Linux as well as in BSD.
1538 ** gnutls-cli: Fixed reading from windows terminals.
1540 ** libgnutls: When GNUTLS_OPENPGP_FMT_BASE64 is specified
1541 the stream is assumed to be base64 encoded (previously
1542 the encoding was auto-detected). This avoids a decoding
1543 issue in windows systems.

1565 it will only list the ciphersuites that are enabled by the given
1568 ** libgnutls: Added new priority string %SERVER_PRECEDENCE, which
1569 changes the ciphersuite selection procedure. If specified the server
1570 priorities will be used for selection instead of the client's.
1572 ** libgnutls: Optimizations in Diffie-Hellman parameters generation
1575 ** libgnutls: When session tickets are negotiated and used in a
1576 session, a server will not store that session data into its cache.
1578 ** libgnutls: Added the SECP192R1 curve.
1580 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_priority_get_cipher_suite_index() to
1581 allow listing the ciphersuites enabled in a priority structure.
1582 It outputs an index to be used in gnutls_get_cipher_suite_info().
1584 ** libgnutls: Optimizations in the elliptic curve code --timing
1585 attacks resistant code is only used in ECDSA private key operations.

1608 The reason was that the code that auto-generated the man pages missed
1609 many APIs and we couldn't fix it (volunteers welcome). See the info
1610 manual or the GTK-DOC manual instead.
1612 ** API and ABI modifications:
1613 gnutls_x509_privkey_verify_params: Added

2241 gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_sign_hash: REMOVED (was added in 2.11.0)
2242 gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_decrypt_data: REMOVED (was added in 2.11.0)
2243 gnutls_privkey_sign_hash: REMOVED (was added in 2.11.0)
2245 * Version 2.11.6 (released 2010-12-06)
2247 ** libgnutls: Record version of Client Hellos is now set by default to
2248 SSL 3.0. To restore the previous default behavior use %LATEST_RECORD_VERSION
2251 ** libgnutls: Use ASN1_NULL when writing parameters for RSA signatures.
2252 This makes us comply with RFC3279. Reported by Michael Rommel.
2254 ** gnutls-serv: Corrected a buffer overflow. Reported and patch by Tomas Mraz.
2256 ** API and ABI modifications:
2257 No changes since last version.
2259 * Version 2.11.5 (released 2010-12-01)
2261 ** libgnutls: Reverted default behavior for verification and
2262 introduced GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT. Thus by default
2263 V1 trusted CAs are allowed, unless the new flag is specified.
2265 ** libgnutls: Correctly add leading zero to PKCS #8 encoded DSA key.
2266 Reported by Jeffrey Walton.
2268 ** libgnutls: Added SIGN-ALL, CTYPE-ALL, COMP-ALL, and VERS-TLS-ALL
2269 as priority strings. Those allow to set all the supported algorithms
2272 ** p11tool: Introduced. It allows manipulating pkcs 11 tokens.
2274 ** gnutls-cli: Print channel binding only in verbose mode.
2275 Before it printed it after the 'Compression:' output, thus breaking
2276 Emacs starttls.el string searches.
2278 ** API and ABI modifications:
2279 gnutls_pkcs11_token_init: New function
2280 gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin: New function
2282 * Version 2.11.4 (released 2010-10-15)
2284 ** libgnutls: Add new API gnutls_session_channel_binding.
2285 The function is used to get the channel binding data. Currently only
2286 the "tls-unique" (RFC 5929) channel binding type is supported, through
2287 the GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE type. See new section "Channel Bindings" in
2290 ** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: Print 'tls-unique' Channel Bindings.
2292 ** doc: Added pkcs11.h header file to GTK-DOC manual.
2294 ** build: Update gnulib files.
2296 ** i18n: Update translations.
2298 ** tests: Add self tests gendh.c. Speed up Guile self checks.
2300 ** API and ABI modifications:
2301 gnutls_session_channel_binding: New function.
2302 gnutls_channel_binding_t: New enumeration.
2303 GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE: New gnutls_channel_binding_t enum member.
2304 GNUTLS_E_CHANNEL_BINDING_NOT_AVAILABLE: New error code.
2306 * Version 2.11.3 (released 2010-10-14)
2308 ** Indent code to follow the GNU Coding Standard.
2309 You should be able to unpack the 2.11.2 release and run 'make indent'
2310 twice to get exactly the same content as 2.11.3 except for generated
2311 files. Using GNU Indent 2.2.11.
2313 ** API and ABI modifications:
2314 No changes since last version.
2316 * Version 2.11.2 (released 2010-10-08)
2318 ** libgnutls: Several bug fixes on session resumption
2319 and session tickets support.
2321 ** libgnutls: Add new extended key usage ipsecIKE.
2323 ** certtool: Renamed PKCS #11 options to: --p11-provider,
2324 --p11-export-url, --p11-list-certs, --p11-list-certs,
2325 --p11-list-privkeys, --p11-list-trusted, --p11-list-all-certs,
2326 --p11-list-all, --p11-list-tokens, --p11-login, --p11-write,
2327 --p11-write-label, --p11-write-trusted, --p11-detailed-url,
2330 ** libgnutls: Corrected bug that caused importing DSA keys as RSA,
2331 introduced with the new nettle code.
2333 ** libgnutls: Corrected advertizing issue for session tickets.
2335 ** API and ABI modifications:
2336 gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_unique_id: ADDED.
2337 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_unique_id: ADDED.
2339 * Version 2.11.1 (released 2010-09-14)
2341 ** libgnutls: Nettle is the default crypto back end. Use --with-libgcrypt
2342 to use the libgcrypt back end.
2344 ** libgnutls: Depend on nettle 2.1. This makes nettle a fully working
2345 backend crypto library.
2347 ** libgnutls: Added RSA_NULL_SHA1 and SHA256 ciphersuites.
2349 ** libgnutls: Several updates in the buffering internal interface.
2351 ** libgnutls: Is now more liberal in the PEM decoding. That is spaces and
2352 tabs are being skipped.
2354 ** libgnutls: Added support for draft-pechanec-pkcs11uri-02.
2356 ** libgnutls: The %COMPAT flag now allows larger records that violate the
2359 ** libgnutls: by default lowat level has been set to zero to avoid unnecessary
2360 system calls. Applications that depended on it being 1 should explicitly call
2361 gnutls_transport_set_lowat().
2363 ** libgnutls: Updated documentation and gnutls_pk_params_t mappings
2364 to ECRYPT II recommendations. Mappings were moved to a single location
2365 and DSA keys are handled differently (since DSA2 allows for 1024,2048
2366 and 3072 keys only).
2368 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
2369 gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
2370 is unable to decode the key.
2372 ** libgnutls: HMAC-MD5 no longer used by default.
2374 ** API and ABI modifications:
2375 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sec_param: ADDED
2376 gnutls_x509_privkey_sec_param: ADDED
2378 * Version 2.11.0 (released 2010-07-22)
2380 ** libgnutls: support scattered write using writev(). This takes
2381 advantage of the new buffering layer and allows queuing of packets
2382 and flushing them. This is currently used for handshake messages
2385 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
2386 alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
2387 locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
2388 critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
2389 previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
2390 locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
2391 that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
2393 #if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
2397 ** libgnutls: Added support for reading DN from EV-certificates.
2399 jurisdictionOfIncorporationLocalityName,
2400 jurisdictionOfIncorporationStateOrProvinceName,
2401 jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName
2403 ** libgnutls: Added support for DSA signing/verifying with bit
2406 ** libgnutls-extra: When in FIPS mode gnutls_global_init_extra()
2407 has to be called to register any required md5 handlers.
2409 ** libgnutls: Internal buffering code was replaced by simpler
2410 code contributed by Jonathan Bastien-Filiatrault.
2412 ** libgnutls: Internal API for extensions augmented to allow
2413 safe storing and loading of data on resumption. This allows writing
2414 self-contained extensions (when possible). As a side effect
2415 the OPRFI extension was removed.
2417 ** libgnutls: Added support for DSA-SHA256 and DSA-SHA224
2419 ** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 support and an API to access objects in
2420 gnutls/pkcs11.h. Currently certificates and public keys can be
2421 imported from tokens, and operations can be performed on private keys.
2423 ** libgnutls: Added abstract gnutls_privkey_t and gnutls_pubkey_t
2425 ** libgnutls: Added initial support for the nettle library. It uses
2426 the system's random generator for seeding. That is /dev/urandom in Linux,
2427 system calls in Win32 and EGD on other systems.
2429 ** libgnutls: Corrected issue on the %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string. It now
2430 works even when resuming a session.
2432 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function() to replace the
2433 similar gnutls_certificate_set_server_retrieve_function() and
2434 gnutls_certificate_set_client_retrieve_function(). In addition it support
2435 PKCS #11 private keys.
2437 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_crt(), gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_privkey(),
2438 and gnutls_pkcs11_delete_url() to allow copying and deleting data in tokens.
2440 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() et al. to allow select bit
2441 sizes for private keys using a human understandable scale.
2443 ** certtool: Added new options: --pkcs11-list-tokens, --pkcs11-list-all
2444 --pkcs11-list-all-certs, --pkcs11-list-trusted, --pkcs11-list-certs,
2445 --pkcs11-delete-url, --pkcs11-write
2447 certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
2448 private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior can
2449 be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
2451 certtool: Added --certificate-pubkey to print the public key of the
2454 ** gnutls-cli/gnutls-serv: --x509cafile, --x509certfile and --x509keyfile
2455 can now accept a PKCS #11 URL in addition to a file. This will allow for
2456 example to use the Gnome-keyring trusted certificate list to verify
2457 connections using a url such as:
2458 pkcs11:token=Root%20CA%20Certificates;serial=1%3AROOTS%3ADEFAULT;model=1%2E0;manufacturer=Gnome%20Keyring

2539 * Version 2.10.1 (released 2010-07-25)
2541 ** libgnutls: Added support for broken certificates that indicate RSA
2544 ** gnutls-cli: Allow verification using V1 CAs.
2546 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
2547 gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
2548 is unable to decode the key.
2550 ** libgnutls: Correctly deinitialize crypto API functions to prevent
2551 a memory leak. Reported by Mads Kiilerich.
2553 ** certtool: If asked to generate DSA keys of size more than 1024 bits,
2554 issue a warning, that the output key might not be working everywhere.
2556 ** certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
2557 private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior
2558 can be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
2560 ** API and ABI modifications:
2561 No changes since last version.
2563 * Version 2.10.0 (released 2010-06-25)
2565 ** API and ABI modifications:
2566 No changes since last version.
2568 * Version 2.9.12 (released 2010-06-17)
2570 ** gnutls-cli: Make --starttls work again.
2571 Problem introduced in patch to use read() instead of fgets() committed
2574 ** API and ABI modifications:
2575 No changes since last version.
2577 * Version 2.9.11 (released 2010-06-07)
2579 ** libgnutls: Removed two APIs related to safe renegotiation.
2580 Use priority strings instead. The APIs were
2581 gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial and gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set.
2582 (Remember that we don't promise ABI stability during development
2583 series, so this doesn't cause an shared library ABI increment.)
2585 ** tests: More self testing of safe renegotiation extension.
2586 See tests/safe-renegotiation/README for more information.
2588 ** doc: a PDF version of the API reference manual (GTK-DOC) is now built.
2590 ** doc: Terms 'GNUTLS' and 'GNU TLS' were changed to 'GnuTLS' for consistency.
2592 ** API and ABI modifications:
2593 gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial: REMOVED.
2594 gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set: REMOVED.
2596 * Version 2.9.10 (released 2010-04-22)
2598 ** libgnutls: Time verification extended to trusted certificate list.
2599 Unless new constant GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TRUSTED_TIME_CHECKS flag is
2602 ** certtool: Display postalCode and Name X.509 DN attributes correctly.
2603 Based on patch by Pavan Konjarla. Adds new constant
2604 GNUTLS_OID_X520_POSTALCODE and GNUTLS_OID_X520_NAME.
2606 ** libgnutls: Added Steve Dispensa's patch for safe renegotiation (RFC 5746)
2607 Solves the issue discussed in:
2608 <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03928.html> and
2609 <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03948.html>.
2610 Note that to allow connecting to unpatched servers the full protection
2611 is only enabled if the priority string %SAFE_RENEGOTIATION is
2612 specified. You can check whether protection is in place by querying
2613 gnutls_safe_renegotiation_status(). New error codes
2614 GNUTLS_E_SAFE_RENEGOTIATION_FAILED and
2615 GNUTLS_E_UNSAFE_RENEGOTIATION_DENIED added.
2617 ** libgnutls: When checking openpgp self signature also check the signatures
2619 Ilari Liusvaara noticed and reported the issue and provided test
2622 ** libgnutls: Added cryptodev support (/dev/crypto).
2623 Tested with http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/cryptodev/. Added
2624 benchmark utility for AES. Adds new error codes
2625 GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_IOCTL_ERROR and GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_DEVICE_ERROR.
2627 ** libgnutls: Exported API to access encryption and hash algorithms.
2628 The new API functions are gnutls_cipher_decrypt, gnutls_cipher_deinit,
2629 gnutls_cipher_encrypt, gnutls_cipher_get_block_size,
2630 gnutls_cipher_init, gnutls_hash, gnutls_hash_deinit, gnutls_hash_fast,
2631 gnutls_hash_get_len, gnutls_hash_init, gnutls_hash_output,
2632 gnutls_hmac, gnutls_hmac_deinit, gnutls_hmac_fast,
2633 gnutls_hmac_get_len, gnutls_hmac_init, gnutls_hmac_output. New API
2634 constants are GNUTLS_MAC_SHA224 and GNUTLS_DIG_SHA224.
2636 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function() to allow
2637 verification of certificate upon receipt rather than waiting until the
2638 end of the handshake.
2640 ** libgnutls: Don't send alerts during handshake.
2641 Instead new error code GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME is added.
2643 ** certtool: Corrected two issues that affected certificate request generation.
2644 (1) Null padding is added on integers (found thanks to Wilankar Trupti),
2645 (2) In optional SignatureAlgorithm parameters field for DSA keys the DSA
2646 parameters were added. Those were rejected by Verisign. Gnutls no longer adds
2647 those parameters there since other implementations don't do either and having
2648 them does not seem to offer anything (anyway you need the signer's certificate
2649 to verify thus public key will be available). Found thanks to Boyan Kasarov.
2650 This however has the side-effect that public key IDs shown by certtool are
2651 now different than previous gnutls releases.
2652 (3) the option --pgp-certificate-info will verify self signatures
2654 ** certtool: Allow exporting of Certificate requests on DER format.
2656 ** certtool: New option --no-crq-extensions to avoid extensions in CSRs.
2658 ** gnutls-cli: Handle reading binary data from server.

2725 ** libgnutls: Fix for memory leaks on interrupted handshake.
2726 Reported by Tang Tong.
2728 ** libgnutls: Addition of support for TLS 1.2 signature algorithms
2729 ** extension and certificate verify field.
2730 This requires changes for TLS 1.2 servers and clients that use
2731 callbacks for certificate retrieval. They are now required to check
2732 with gnutls_sign_algorithm_get_requested() whether the certificate
2733 they send complies with the peer's preferences in signature
2736 ** libgnutls: In server side when resuming a session do not overwrite the
2737 ** initial session data with the resumed session data.
2739 ** libgnutls: Added support for AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 in PKCS #8
2741 This affects also PKCS #12 encoded files. This adds the following new
2742 enums: GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_192_CBC, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_128,
2743 GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_192, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_256.
2745 ** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 encoding.
2746 The error you would get was "The OID is not supported.". Problem
2747 introduced for the v2.8.x branch in 2.7.6.
2749 ** certtool: Added the --pkcs-cipher option.
2750 To explicitely specify the encryption algorithm to use.
2752 ** tests: Added "pkcs12_encode" self-test to check PKCS#12 functions.
2754 ** tests: Fix time bomb in chainverify self-test.

2793 * Version 2.9.5 (released 2009-09-10)
2795 ** libgnutls: Add new functions to extract X.509 Issuer Alternative Names.
2796 The new functions are gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name2,
2797 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name, and
2798 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_othername_oid. Contributed by Brad
2799 Hards <bradh@frogmouth.net>.
2801 ** API and ABI modifications:

2811 SHA-256 is now the preferred default MAC (however it is only used with
2814 ** libgnutls: Make OpenPGP hostname checking work again.
2815 The patch to resolve the X.509 CN/SAN issue accidentally broken
2816 OpenPGP hostname comparison.
2818 ** libgnutls: When printing X.509 certificates, handle XMPP SANs better.
2819 Reported by Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com> in
2820 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106975>.
2822 ** Fix use of deprecated types internally.
2823 Use of deprecated types in GnuTLS from now on will lead to a compile
2824 error, to prevent this from happening again.
2826 ** API and ABI modifications:
2827 No changes since last version.
2829 * Version 2.9.3 (released 2009-08-19)
2831 ** libgnutls: Support for TLS tickets was contributed by Daiki Ueno.
2832 The new APIs are gnutls_session_ticket_enable_client,
2833 gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server, and
2834 gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate.
2836 ** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: New parameter --noticket to disable TLS tickets.
2838 ** API and ABI modifications:
2839 gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate: ADDED.

2841 gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server: ADDED.
2843 * Version 2.9.2 (released 2009-08-14)
2845 ** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
2846 By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
2847 into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
2848 certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
2849 hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
2850 checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
2851 certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
2852 MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
2853 since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
2854 attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
2855 certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
2856 sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie
2857 Marlinspike at BlackHat09. Thanks to Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>
2858 for providing one part of the patch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-4] [CVE-2009-2730].
2860 ** libgnutls: Fix rare failure in gnutls_x509_crt_import.
2861 The function may fail incorrectly when an earlier certificate was
2862 imported to the same gnutls_x509_crt_t structure.
2864 ** minitasn1: Internal copy updated to libtasn1 v2.3.
2866 ** libgnutls: Fix return value of gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status.
2867 Before it always returned false. Reported by Peter Hendrickson
2868 <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
2869 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3668>.
2871 ** libgnutls: Fix off-by-one size computation error in unknown DN printing.
2872 The error resulted in truncated strings when printing unknown OIDs in
2873 X.509 certificate DNs. Reported by Tim Kosse
2874 <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org> in
2875 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3651>.
2877 ** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 decryption from password.
2878 The encryption key derived from the password was incorrect for (on
2879 average) 1 in every 128 input for random inputs. Reported by "Kukosa,
2880 Tomas" <tomas.kukosa@siemens-enterprise.com> in
2881 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1663>.
2883 ** libgnutls: Return correct bit lengths of some MPIs.
2884 gnutls_dh_get_prime_bits, gnutls_rsa_export_get_modulus_bits, and
2885 gnutls_dh_get_peers_public_bits. Before the reported value was
2886 overestimated. Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
2887 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3607>.
2889 ** libgnutls: Avoid internal error when invoked after GNUTLS_E_AGAIN.
2890 Report and patch by Tim Kosse <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org> in
2891 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3671>
2893 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3670>.
2895 ** libgnutls: Relax checking of required libtasn1/libgcrypt versions.
2896 Before we required that the runtime library used the same (or more
2897 recent) libgcrypt/libtasn1 as it was compiled with. Now we just check
2898 that the runtime usage is above the minimum required. Reported by
2899 Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it> via Andreas Metzler
2900 <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in <http://bugs.debian.org/540449>.
2902 ** tests: Added new self-test pkcs12_s2k_pem to detect MPI bit length error.
2904 ** tests: Improved test vectors in self-test pkcs12_s2k.
2906 ** tests: Added new self-test dn2 to detect off-by-one size error.
2908 ** tests: Fix failure in "chainverify" because a certificate have expired.
2910 ** API and ABI modifications:
2911 No changes since last version.
2913 * Version 2.9.1 (released 2009-06-08)
2915 ** libgnutls: Fix crash in gnutls_global_init after earlier init/deinit cycle.
2916 Forwarded by Martin von Gagern <Martin.vGagern@gmx.net> from
2917 <http://bugs.gentoo.org/272388>.
2919 ** tests: Added new self-tests init_roundtrip.c to detect previous problem.

2933 No changes since last version.
2935 * Version 2.8.6 (released 2010-03-15)
2937 ** libgnutls: For CSRs, don't null pad integers for RSA/DSA value.
2938 VeriSign rejected CSRs with this padding. Reported by Wilankar Trupti
2939 <trupti.wilankar@hp.com> and Boyan Kasarov <bkasarov@gmail.com>.
2941 Note: As a side effect of this change, the "public key identifier"
2942 value computed for a certificate using this version of GnuTLS will be
2943 different from values computed using earlier versions of GnuTLS.
2945 ** libgnutls: For CSRs on DSA keys, don't add DSA parameters to the
2946 ** optional SignatureAlgorithm parameter field.
2947 VeriSign rejected these CSRs. They are stricly speaking not needed
2948 since you need the signer's certificate to verify the certificate
2949 signature anyway. Reported by Wilankar Trupti
2950 <trupti.wilankar@hp.com> and Boyan Kasarov <bkasarov@gmail.com>.
2952 ** libgnutls: When checking openpgp self signature also check the signatures
2954 Ilari Liusvaara noticed and reported the issue and provided test
2957 ** libgnutls: Cleanups and several bug fixes.
2958 Found by Steve Grubb and Tomas Mraz.
2960 ** Link libgcrypt explicitly to certtool, gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv.
2962 ** Fix --disable-valgrind-tests.
2963 Reported by Ingmar Vanhassel in
2964 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107029>.

3220 Normally when symbols are removed, the shared library version has to
3221 be incremented. This leads to a significant cost for everyone using
3222 the library. Because none of the above symbols have ever been
3223 intended for use by well-behaved applications, we decided that the it
3224 would be better for those applications to pay the price rather than
3225 incurring problems on the majority of applications.
3227 If it turns out that applications have been using unofficial
3228 interfaces, we will need to release a follow-on release on the v2.8
3229 branch to exports additional interfaces. However, initial testing
3230 suggests that few if any applications have been using any of the
3233 Although not a new change compared to 2.6.x, we'd like to remind you
3234 interfaces have been modified so that X.509 chain verification now
3235 also checks activation/expiration times on certificates. The affected

3406 ** libgnutls: Fix DSA key generation.
3407 Merged from stable branch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-2] [CVE-2009-1416]
3409 ** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
3410 Merged from stable branch. Reported by Romain Francoise
3411 <romain@orebokech.com>. This changes the semantics of
3412 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in turn is used by
3413 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.
3414 We add two new gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new
3415 error condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED.
3416 We also add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
3417 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new
3418 behaviour. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-3] [CVE-2009-1417]
3420 ** lib: Linker version scripts reduces number of exported symbols.
3421 The linker version script now lists all exported ABIs explicitly, to
3422 avoid accidentally exporting unintended functions. Compared to
3423 before, most symbols beginning with _gnutls* are no longer exported.
3424 These functions have never been intended for use by applications, and
3425 there were no prototypes for these function in the public header
3426 files. Thus we believe it is possible to do this without incrementing
3427 the library ABI version which normally has to be done when removing an
3430 ** lib: Limit exported symbols on systems without LD linker scripts.
3431 Before all symbols were exported. Now we limit the exported symbols
3432 to (for libgnutls and libgnutls-extra) gnutls* and (for libgnutls)
3433 _gnutls*. This is a superset of the actual supported ABI, but still
3434 an improvement compared to before. This is implemented using Libtool
3435 -export-symbols-regex. It is more portable than linker version
3438 ** libgnutls: Incremented CURRENT/AGE libtool version to reflect new symbols.
3439 This should have been done in the last release.
3441 ** gnutls-serv: Listen on all interfaces, including both IPv4 and IPv6.
3442 Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
3443 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3476>.
3445 ** doc: Improved sections for the info manual.
3446 We now follow the advice given by the texinfo manual on which
3447 directory categories to use. In particular, libgnutls moved from the
3448 'GNU Libraries' section to the 'Software libraries' and the command
3449 line tools moved from 'Network Applications' to 'System

3477 It is currently only used by the core library. This will enable a new

3485 gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm: ADDED
3487 * Version 2.7.6 (released 2009-02-27)
3489 ** certtool: Query for multiple dnsName subjectAltName in interactive mode.
3490 This applies both to generating certificates and certificate requests.
3492 ** pkix.asn: Removed unneeded definitions to reduce memory usage.
3494 ** gnutls-cli: No longer accepts V1 CAs by default during X.509 chain verify.
3495 Use --priority NORMAL:%VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT to permit V1 CAs to
3496 be used for chain verification.
3498 ** gnutls-serv: No longer disable MAC padding by default.
3499 Use --priority NORMAL:%COMPAT to disable MAC padding again.
3501 ** gnutls-cli: Certificate information output format changed.
3502 The tool now uses libgnutls' functions to print certificate
3503 information. This avoids code duplication.
3505 ** libgnutls: New priority strings %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5
3506 ** and %VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT.
3507 They can be used to override the default certificate chain validation
3510 ** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
3511 specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy
3512 TLS servers. Report by Martin von Gagern.
3514 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_print prints signature algorithm in oneline mode.
3516 ** libgnutls: gnutls_openpgp_crt_print supports oneline mode.
3518 ** doc: Update gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv --help output descriptions.
3520 ** API and ABI modifications:
3521 No changes since last version.
3523 * Version 2.7.5 (released 2009-02-06)
3525 ** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
3526 Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
3527 self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
3528 found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
3529 useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
3530 intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
3531 To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
3532 explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
3533 The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
3534 has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
3535 <deengert@anl.gov> in
3536 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3538 ** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
3539 the size of the result. Report by John Brooks <special@dereferenced.net>.
3541 ** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
3542 rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
3543 Reported by Tristan Hill <stan@saticed.me.uk>.
3545 ** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
3546 Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
3547 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
3548 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
3549 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in
3550 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3552 ** API and ABI modifications:
3553 No changes since last version.
3555 * Version 2.7.4 (released 2009-01-07)
3557 ** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
3558 This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
3559 certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
3560 for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
3561 <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
3562 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
3563 debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
3564 Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.
3566 ** libgnutls: New interface to get key id for certificate requests.
3567 Patch from David Marín Carreño <davefx@gmail.com> in
3568 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3321>.
3570 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crq_print will now also print public key id.
3572 ** certtool: --verify-chain now prints results of using library verification.
3573 Earlier, certtool --verify-chain used its own validation algorithm
3574 which wasn't guaranteed to give the same result as the libgnutls
3575 internal validation algorithm. Now this command print a new final
3576 line with header 'Chain verification output:' that contains the result
3577 from using the internal verification algorithm on the same chain.
3579 ** tests: Add crq_key_id self-test of gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id.
3581 ** API and ABI modifications:
3582 gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id: ADDED.
3584 * Version 2.7.3 (released 2008-12-10)
3586 ** libgnutls: Fix chain verification for chains that ends with RSA-MD2 CAs.
3587 Reported by Michael Kiefer <Michael-Kiefer@web.de> in

3590 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3309>.
3592 ** libgnutls: Libgcrypt initialization changed.
3593 If libgcrypt has not already been initialized, GnuTLS will now
3594 initialize libgcrypt with disabled secure memory. Initialize
3595 libgcrypt explicitly in your application if you want to enable secure
3596 memory. Before GnuTLS initialized libgcrypt to use GnuTLS's memory
3597 allocation functions, which doesn't use secure memory, so there is no
3598 real change in behaviour.
3600 ** libgnutls: Fix memory leak in PSK authentication.
3601 Reported by Michael Weiser <michael@weiser.dinsnail.net> in
3602 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1465>.
3604 ** libgnutls: Small byte reads via gnutls_record_recv() optimized.
3606 ** certtool: Move gcry_control(GCRYCTL_ENABLE_QUICK_RANDOM, 0) call earlier.
3607 It needs to be invoked before libgcrypt is initialized.
3609 ** gnutls-cli: Return non-zero exit code on error conditions.
3611 ** gnutls-cli: Corrected bug which caused a rehandshake request to be ignored.
3613 ** tests: Added chainverify self-test that tests X.509 chain verifications.
3615 ** API and ABI modifications:
3616 No changes since last version.
3618 * Version 2.7.2 (released 2008-11-18)
3620 ** libgnutls: Fix X.509 certificate chain validation error. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-3]
3621 The flaw makes it possible for man in the middle attackers (i.e.,
3622 active attackers) to assume any name and trick GnuTLS clients into
3623 trusting that name. Thanks for report and analysis from Martin von
3624 Gagern <Martin.vGagern@gmx.net>. [CVE-2008-4989]
3626 Any updates with more details about this vulnerability will be added
3627 to <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
3629 ** libgnutls: Fix namespace issue with version symbols.
3630 The symbols LIBGNUTLS_VERSION, LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR,
3631 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR, LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH, and
3632 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER were renamed to GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER,
3633 GNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR, GNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR, GNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH, and
3634 GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER respectively. The old symbols will continue to
3635 work but are deprecated.

3692 There is now a configure script in lib/ and libextra/ as well, because
3693 gnulib works better with a config.h per gnulib directory.
3695 ** API and ABI modifications:
3696 No changes since last version.
3698 * Version 2.7.0 (released 2008-10-16)
3700 ** libgnutls: Added functions to handle CRL extensions.
3702 ** libgnutls: Added functions to handle X.509 extensions in Certificate
3705 ** libgnutls: Improved error string for GNUTLS_E_AGAIN.
3706 Suggested by "Lavrentiev, Anton (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [C]" <lavr@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov>.
3708 ** certtool: Print and set CRL and CRQ extensions.
3710 ** libgnutls-extra: Protect internal symbols with static.
3711 Fixes problem when linking certtool statically. Tiny patch from Aaron
3712 Ucko <ucko@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov>.
3714 ** libgnutls-openssl: fix out of bounds access.
3715 Problem in X509_get_subject_name and X509_get_issuer_name. Tiny patch
3716 from Thomas Viehmann <tv@beamnet.de>.
3718 ** libgnutlsxx: Define server_session::get_srp_username even if no SRP.
3720 ** tests: Make tests compile when using internal libtasn1.
3721 Patch by ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès).
3723 ** Changed detection of libtasn1 and libgcrypt to avoid depending on *-config.
3724 We now require a libgcrypt that has Camellia constants declared in
3725 gcrypt.h, which means v1.3.0 or later.

3753 * Version 2.6.6 (released 2009-04-30)
3755 ** libgnutls: Corrected double free on signature verification failure.
3756 Reported by Miroslav Kratochvil <exa.exa@gmail.com>. See the advisory
3757 for more details. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-1] [CVE-2009-1415]
3759 ** libgnutls: Fix DSA key generation.
3760 Noticed when investigating the previous GNUTLS-SA-2009-1 problem. All
3761 DSA keys generated using GnuTLS 2.6.x are corrupt. See the advisory
3762 for more details. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-2] [CVE-2009-1416]
3764 ** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
3765 Reported by Romain Francoise <romain@orebokech.com>. Before the
3766 library did not check activation/expiration times on certificates, and
3767 was documented as not doing so. We have realized that many
3768 applications that use libgnutls, including gnutls-cli, fail to perform
3769 proper checks. Implementing similar logic in all applications leads
3770 to code duplication. Hence, we decided to check whether the current
3771 time (as reported by the time function) is within the
3772 activation/expiration period of certificates when verifying untrusted
3775 This changes the semantics of gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in
3776 turn is used by gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and
3777 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2. We add two new
3778 gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new error
3779 condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED. We also
3780 add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
3781 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new
3784 More details about the vulnerabilities will be posted at
3785 <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>.
3787 ** gnutls-cli, gnutls-cli-debug: Fix AIX build problem.
3788 Reported by LAUPRETRE François (P) <francois.laupretre@ratp.fr> in
3789 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3468>.
3791 ** tests: Fix linking of tests/openpgp/keyring self-test.
3792 Reported by Daniel Black in <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106543>.
3794 ** API and ABI modifications:
3795 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
3796 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
3797 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
3798 GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.
3799 GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED: ADDED.
3800 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
3802 * Version 2.6.5 (released 2009-04-11)
3804 ** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
3805 specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy
3806 TLS servers. Report by Martin von Gagern.
3808 ** GnuTLS no longer uses the libtasn1-config script to find libtasn1.
3809 Libtasn1 0.3.4 or later is required. This is to align with the
3810 upcoming libtasn1 v2.0 release that doesn't have a libtasn1-script.
3812 ** API and ABI modifications:
3813 No changes since last version.
3815 * Version 2.6.4 (released 2009-02-06)
3817 ** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
3818 Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
3819 self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
3820 found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
3821 useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
3822 intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
3823 To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
3824 explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
3825 The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
3826 has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
3827 <deengert@anl.gov> in
3828 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3830 ** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
3831 the size of the result. Report by John Brooks <special@dereferenced.net>.
3833 ** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
3834 rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
3835 Reported by Tristan Hill <stan@saticed.me.uk>.
3837 ** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
3838 Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
3839 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
3840 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
3841 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in
3842 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3844 ** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
3845 This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
3846 certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
3847 for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
3848 <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
3849 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
3850 debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
3851 Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.
3853 ** libgnutls: Fix compile error with Sun CC.
3854 Reported by Jeff Cai <jeff.cai@sun.com> in
3855 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106549>.
3857 ** API and ABI modifications:
3858 No changes since last version.
3860 * Version 2.6.3 (released 2008-12-12)
3862 ** libgnutls: Fix chain verification for chains that ends with RSA-MD2 CAs.
3863 Reported by Michael Kiefer <Michael-Kiefer@web.de> in
3864 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507633> forwarded by
3865 Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
3866 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3309>.
3868 ** libgnutls: Fix memory leak in PSK authentication.
3869 Reported by Michael Weiser <michael@weiser.dinsnail.net> in
3870 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1465>.
3872 ** certtool: Move gcry_control(GCRYCTL_ENABLE_QUICK_RANDOM, 0) call earlier.
3873 It needs to be invoked before libgcrypt is initialized.
