1.61 beck 482: <li>LibreSSL 2.5.3
483: <ul>
484:
485: <li> libtls now supports ALPN and SNI
486:
487: <li> libtls adds a new callback interface for integrating custom IO
488: functions. Thanks to Tobias Pape.
489:
490: <li> libtls now handles 4 cipher suite groups:
491: <Ul>
492: <li> "secure" (TLSv1.2+AEAD+PFS)
493: <li> "compat" (HIGH:!aNULL)
494: <li> "legacy" (HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL)
495: <li> "insecure" (ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL)
496: </ul>
497: This allows for flexibility and finer grained control, rather than
498: having two extremes (an issue raised by Marko Kreen some time ago).
499:
500: <li> Tightened error handling for tls_config_set_ciphers().
501:
502: <li> libtls now always loads CA, key and certificate files at the time the
503: configuration function is called. This simplifies code and results in
504: a single memory based code path being used to provide data to libssl.
505:
506: <li> Add support for OCSP intermediate certificates.
507:
508: <li> Added functions used by stunnel and exim from BoringSSL - this
509: brings in X509_check_host, X509_check_email, X509_check_ip, and
510: X509_check_ip_asc.
511:
512: <li> Added initial support for iOS, thanks to Jacob Berkman.
513:
514: <li> Improved behavior of arc4random on Windows when using memory leak
515: analysis software.
516:
517: <li> Correctly handle an EOF that occurs prior to the TLS handshake
518: completing. Reported by Vasily Kolobkov, based on a diff from Marko
519: Kreen.
520:
521: <li> Limit the support of the "backward compatible" ssl2 handshake to
522: only be used if TLS 1.0 is enabled.
523:
524: <li> Fix incorrect results in certain cases on 64-bit systems when
525: BN_mod_word() can return incorrect results. BN_mod_word() now can
526: return an error condition. Thanks to Brian Smith.
527:
528: <li> Added constant-time updates to address CVE-2016-0702
529:
530: <li> Fixed undefined behavior in BN_GF2m_mod_arr()
531:
532: <li> Removed unused Cryptographic Message Support (CMS)
533:
534: <li> More conversions of long long idioms to time_t
535:
536: <li> Improved compatibility by avoiding printing NULL strings with
537: printf.
538:
539: <li> Reverted change that cleans up the EVP cipher context in
540: EVP_EncryptFinal() and EVP_DecryptFinal(). Some software relies on the
541: previous behaviour.
542:
543: <li> Avoid unbounded memory growth in libssl, which can be triggered
544: by a TLS client repeatedly renegotiating and sending OCSP Status
545: Request TLS extensions.
546:
547: <li> Avoid falling back to a weak digest for (EC)DH when using SNI
548: with libssl.
549:
550: <li> X509_cmp_time() now passes a malformed GeneralizedTime field as
551: an error. Reported by Theofilos Petsios.
552:
553: <li> Detect zero-length encrypted session data early, instead of when
554: malloc(0) fails or the HMAC check fails. Noted independently by
555: jsing@ and Kurt Cancemi.
556:
557: <li> Check for and handle failure of HMAC_{Update,Final} or
558: EVP_DecryptUpdate().
559:
560: <li> Massive update and normalization of manpages, conversion to
561: mandoc format. Many pages were rewritten for clarity and accuracy.
562: Portable doc links are up-to-date with a new conversion tool.
563:
564: <li> Curve25519 Key Exchange support.
565:
566: <li> Support for alternate chains for certificate verification.
567:
568: <li> Code cleanups, CBB conversions, further unification of DTLS/SSL
569: handshake code, further ASN1 macro expansion and removal.
570:
1.64 beck 571: <li> Private symbols are now hidden in libssl and libcrypto.
1.61 beck 572:
573: <li> Friendly certificate verification error messages in libtls, peer
574: verification is now always enabled.
575:
1.64 beck 576: <li> Added OCSP stapling support to libtls and nc.
1.61 beck 577:
578: <li> Added ocspcheck utility to validate a certificate against its OCSP
579: responder and save the reply for stapling
580:
581: <li> Enhanced regression tests and error handling for libtls.
582:
583: <li> Added explicit constant and non-constant time BN functions,
584: defaulting to constant time wherever possible.
585:
586: <li> Moved many leaked implementation details in public structs behind
587: opaque pointers.
588:
589: <li> Added ticket support to libtls.
590:
591: <li> Added support for setting the supported EC curves via
592: SSL{_CTX}_set1_groups{_list}() - also provide defines for the
593: previous SSL{_CTX}_set1_curves{_list} names. This also changes
594: the default list of curves to be X25519, P-256 and P-384. All
595: other curves must be manually enabled.
596:
597: <li> Added -groups option to openssl(1) s_client for specifying the
598: curves to be used in a colon-separated list.
599:
600: <li> Merged client/server version negotiation code paths into one,
601: reducing much duplicate code.
602:
603: <li> Removed error function codes from libssl and libcrypto.
604:
605: <li> Fixed an issue where a truncated packet could crash via an OOB
606: read.
607:
608: <li> Added SSL_OP_NO_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION option that disallows
609: client-initiated renegotiation. This is the default for libtls
610: servers.
611:
612: <li> Avoid a side-channel cache-timing attack that can leak the ECDSA
613: private keys when signing. This is due to BN_mod_inverse() being
614: used without the constant time flag being set. Reported by Cesar
615: Pereida Garcia and Billy Brumley (Tampere University of
616: Technology). The fix was developed by Cesar Pereida Garcia.
617:
618: <li> iOS and MacOS compatibility updates from Simone Basso and Jacob
619: Berkman.
620:
621: <li> Added the recallocarray(3) memory allocation function, and
622: converted various places in the library to use it, such as CBB
623: and BUF_MEM_grow. recallocarray(3) is similar to
624: reallocarray. Newly allocated memory is cleared similar to
625: calloc(3). Memory that becomes unallocated while shrinking or
626: moving existing allocations is explicitly discarded by unmapping
627: or clearing to 0.
628:
629: <li> Added new root CAs from SECOM Trust Systems / Security
630: Communication of Japan.
631:
632: <li> Added EVP interface for MD5+SHA1 hashes.
633:
634: <li> Fixed DTLS client failures when the server sends a certificate
635: request.
636:
637: <li> Correct handling of padding when upgrading an SSLv2 challenge
638: into an SSLv3/TLS connection.
639:
640: <li> Allow protocols and ciphers to be set on a TLS config object in
641: libtls.
642:
643: <li> Improved nc(1) TLS handshake CPU usage and server-side error
1.65 beck 644: reporting.
645:
646: <li> Add a constant time version of BN_gcd and use it default for
647: BN_gcd to avoid the possibility of sidechannel timing attacks
648: against RSA private key generation - Thanks to Alejandro

1035: <p>
1036: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1037: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1038: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1039: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
1040: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1041: with a command like:
1042:
1043: <blockquote><pre>
1044: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1045: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
1046: </pre></blockquote>
1047:
1048: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1049: server.]
1050: <p>
1051: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1052: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
1053: <p>
1054: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1055: would like to know more, the mailing list
1056: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
