* Version 3.8.6 (released 2024-07-03)
** libgnutls: PBMAC1 is now supported as a MAC mechanism for PKCS#12
To be compliant with FIPS 140-3, PKCS#12 files with MAC based on
PBKDF2 (PBMAC1) is now supported, according to the specification
proposed in draft-ietf-lamps-pkcs12-pbmac1.
** libgnutls: SHA3 extendable output functions (XOF) are now supported
SHA3 XOF, SHAKE128 and SHAKE256, are now usable through a new
public API gnutls_hash_squeeze.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_pkcs12_generate_mac3: New function
gnutls_pkcs12_flags_t: New enum
gnutls_hash_squeeze: New function
* Version 3.8.5 (released 2024-04-04)
** libgnutls: Due to majority of usages and implementations of
RSA decryption with PKCS#1 v1.5 padding being incorrect,
leaving them vulnerable to Marvin attack, the RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5
is being deprecated (encryption and decryption) and will be
disabled in the future. A new option `allow-rsa-pkcs1-encrypt`
has been added into the system-wide library configuration which
allows to enable/disable the RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5. Currently, the
RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 is enabled by default.
** libgnutls: Added support for RIPEMD160 and PBES1-DES-SHA1 for
backward compatibility with GCR.
** libgnutls: A couple of memory related issues have been fixed in RSA PKCS#1
v1.5 decryption error handling and deterministic ECDSA with earlier
versions of GMP. These were a regression introduced in the 3.8.4
release. See #1535 and !1827.
** build: Fixed a bug where building gnutls statically failed due
to a duplicate definition of nettle_rsa_compute_root_tr().
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_PKCS_PBES1_DES_SHA1: New enum member of gnutls_pkcs_encrypt_flags_t
* Version 3.8.4 (released 2024-03-18)
** libgnutls: RSA-OAEP encryption scheme is now supported
To use it with an unrestricted RSA private key, one would need to
initialize a gnutls_x509_spki_t object with necessary parameters
for RSA-OAEP and attach it to the private key. It is also possible
to import restricted private keys if they are stored in PKCS#8
format.
** libgnutls: Fix side-channel in the deterministic ECDSA.
Reported by George Pantelakis (#1516).
[GNUTLS-SA-2023-12-04, CVSS: medium] [CVE-2024-28834]
** libgnutls: Fixed a bug where certtool crashed when verifying a certificate
chain with more than 16 certificates. Reported by William Woodruff (#1525)
and yixiangzhike (#1527).
[GNUTLS-SA-2024-01-23, CVSS: medium] [CVE-2024-28835]
** libgnutls: Compression libraries are now loaded dynamically as needed
instead of all being loaded during gnutls library initialization.
As a result, the library initialization should be faster.
** build: The gnutls library can now be linked with the static library
of GMP. Note that in order for this to work libgmp.a needs to be
compiled with -fPIC and libhogweed in Nettle also has to be linked
to the static library of GMP. This can be used to prevent custom
memory allocators from being overriden by other applications.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_spki_get_rsa_oaep_params: New function.
gnutls_x509_spki_set_rsa_oaep_params: New function.
GNUTLS_PK_RSA_OAEP: New enum member of gnutls_pk_algorithm_t.
* Version 3.8.3 (released 2024-01-16)
** libgnutls: Fix more timing side-channel inside RSA-PSK key exchange
[GNUTLS-SA-2024-01-14, CVSS: medium] [CVE-2024-0553]
** libgnutls: Fix assertion failure when verifying a certificate chain with a
cycle of cross signatures
[GNUTLS-SA-2024-01-09, CVSS: medium] [CVE-2024-0567]
** libgnutls: Fix regression in handling Ed25519 keys stored in PKCS#11 token
certtool was unable to handle Ed25519 keys generated on PKCS#11
with pkcs11-tool (OpenSC). This is a regression introduced in 3.8.2.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.8.2 (released 2023-11-14)
** libgnutls: Fix timing side-channel inside RSA-PSK key exchange.
[GNUTLS-SA-2023-10-23, CVSS: medium] [CVE-2023-5981]
** libgnutls: Add API functions to perform ECDH and DH key agreement
The functionality has been there for a long time though they were
not available as part of the public API. This enables applications
to implement custom protocols leveraging non-interactive key
agreement with ECDH and DH.
** libgnutls: Added support for AES-GCM-SIV ciphers (RFC 8452)
The new algorithms GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_128_SIV_GCM and
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_256_SIV_GCM have been added to be used through
the AEAD interface. Note that, unlike
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_{128,256}_SIV_GCM, the authentication tag is
appended to the ciphertext, not prepended.
** libgnutls: transparent KTLS support is extended to FreeBSD kernel
The kernel TLS feature can now be enabled on FreeBSD as well as
Linux when compiled with the --enable-ktls configure option.
** gnutls-cli: New option --starttls-name
Depending on deployment, application protocols such as XMPP may
require a different origin address than the external address to be
presented prior to STARTTLS negotiation. The --starttls-name can
be used to specify specify the addresses separately.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_pubkey_import_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_privkey_import_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_pubkey_export_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_privkey_export_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_x509_privkey_import_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_privkey_derive_secret: New function
GNUTLS_KEYGEN_DH: New enum member of gnutls_keygen_types_t
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_128_SIV_GCM: Added
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_256_SIV_GCM: Added
* Version 3.8.1 (released 2023-08-03)
** libgnutls: ClientHello extensions are randomized by default
To make fingerprinting harder, TLS extensions in ClientHello
messages are shuffled. As this behavior may cause compatibility
issue with legacy applications that do not accept the last
extension without payload, the behavior can be reverted with the
%NO_SHUFFLE_EXTENSIONS priority keyword.
** libgnutls: Add support for RFC 9258 external PSK importer.
This enables to deploy the same PSK across multiple TLS versions
(TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) in a secure manner. To use, the application
needs to set up a callback that formats the PSK identity using
gnutls_psk_format_imported_identity().
** libgnutls: %GNUTLS_NO_EXTENSIONS has been renamed to
%GNUTLS_NO_DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS.
** libgnutls: Add additional PBKDF limit checks in FIPS mode as
defined in SP 800-132. Minimum salt length is 128 bits and
minimum iterations bound is 1000 for PBKDF in FIPS mode.
** libgnutls: Add a mechanism to control whether to enforce extended
master secret (RFC 7627). FIPS 140-3 mandates the use of TLS
session hash (extended master secret, EMS) in TLS 1.2. To enforce
this, a new priority keyword %FORCE_SESSION_HASH is added and if
it is set and EMS is not set, the peer aborts the connection. This
behavior is the default in FIPS mode, though it can be overridden
through the configuration file with the "tls-session-hash" option.
In either case non-EMS PRF is reported as a non-approved operation
through the FIPS service indicator.
** New option --attime to specify current time.
To make testing with different timestamp to the system easier, the
tools doing certificate verification now provide a new option
--attime, which takes an arbitrary time.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_psk_client_credentials_function3: New typedef
gnutls_psk_server_credentials_function3: New typedef
gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_function3: New function
gnutls_psk_set_client_credentials_function3: New function
gnutls_psk_format_imported_identity: New function
GNUTLS_PSK_KEY_EXT: New enum member of gnutls_psk_key_flags
* Version 3.8.0 (released 2023-02-09)
** libgnutls: Fix a Bleichenbacher oracle in the TLS RSA key exchange.
Reported by Hubert Kario (#1050). Fix developed by Alexander Sosedkin.
[GNUTLS-SA-2020-07-14, CVSS: medium] [CVE-2023-0361]
** libgnutls: C++ library is now header only. All definitions from
gnutlsxx.c have been moved into gnutlsxx.h. Users of the C++
interface have two options:
1. include gnutlsxx.h in their application and link against
the C library. (default)
2. include gnutlsxx.h in their application, compile with
GNUTLS_GNUTLSXX_NO_HEADERONLY macro defined and link
against the C++ library.
** libgnutls: GNUTLS_NO_STATUS_REQUEST flag and %NO_STATUS_REQUEST
priority modifier have been added to allow disabling of the
status_request TLS extension in the client side.
** libgnutls: TLS heartbeat is disabled by default.
The heartbeat extension in TLS (RFC 6520) is not widely used given
other implementations dropped support for it. To enable back
support for it, supply --enable-heartbeat-support to configure
script.
** libgnutls: SRP authentication is now disabled by default.
It is disabled because the SRP authentication in TLS is not up to
date with the latest TLS standards and its ciphersuites are based
on the CBC mode and SHA-1. To enable it back, supply
--enable-srp-authentication option to configure script.
** libgnutls: All code has been indented using "indent -ppi1 -linux".
CI/CD has been adjusted to catch regressions. This is implemented
through devel/indent-gnutls, devel/indent-maybe and .gitlab-ci.yml’s
commit-check. You may run devel/indent-gnutls to fix any
indentation issues if you make code modifications.
** guile: Guile-bindings removed.
They have been extracted into a separate project to reduce complexity
and to simplify maintenance, see .
** minitasn1: Upgraded to libtasn1 version 4.19.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_NO_STATUS_REQUEST: New flag
GNUTLS_SRTP_AEAD_AES_128_GCM: New gnutls_srtp_profile_t enum member
GNUTLS_SRTP_AEAD_AES_256_GCM: New gnutls_srtp_profile_t enum member
* Version 3.7.8 (released 2022-09-27)
** libgnutls: In FIPS140 mode, RSA signature verification is an approved
operation if the key has modulus with known sizes (1024, 1280,
1536, and 1792 bits), in addition to any modulus sizes larger than
2048 bits, according to SP800-131A rev2.
** libgnutls: gnutls_session_channel_binding performs additional checks when
GNUTLS_CB_TLS_EXPORTER is requested. According to RFC9622 4.2, the
"tls-exporter" channel binding is only usable when the handshake is
bound to a unique master secret (i.e., either TLS 1.3 or extended
master secret extension is negotiated). Otherwise the function now
returns error.
** libgnutls: usage of the following functions, which are designed to
loosen restrictions imposed by allowlisting mode of configuration,
has been additionally restricted. Invoking them is now only allowed
if system-wide TLS priority string has not been initialized yet:
gnutls_digest_set_secure
gnutls_sign_set_secure
gnutls_sign_set_secure_for_certs
gnutls_protocol_set_enabled
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.7.7 (released 2022-07-28)
** libgnutls: Fixed double free during verification of pkcs7 signatures.
Reported by Jaak Ristioja (#1383). [GNUTLS-SA-2022-07-07, CVSS: medium]
[CVE-2022-2509]
** libgnutls: gnutls_hkdf_expand now only accepts LENGTH argument less than or
equal to 255 times hash digest size, to comply with RFC 5869 2.3.
** libgnutls: Length limit for TLS PSK usernames has been increased
from 128 to 65535 characters (#1323).
** libgnutls: AES-GCM encryption function now limits plaintext
length to 2^39-256 bits, according to SP800-38D 5.2.1.1.
** libgnutls: New block cipher functions have been added to transparently
handle padding. gnutls_cipher_encrypt3 and gnutls_cipher_decrypt3 can be
used in combination of GNUTLS_CIPHER_PADDING_PKCS7 flag to automatically
add/remove padding if the length of the original plaintext is not a multiple
of the block size.
** libgnutls: New function for manual FIPS self-testing.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_fips140_run_self_tests: New function
gnutls_cipher_encrypt3: New function
gnutls_cipher_decrypt3: New function
gnutls_cipher_padding_flags_t: New enum
** guile: Guile 1.8 is no longer supported
** guile: Session record port treats premature termination as EOF
Previously, a ‘gnutls-error’ exception with the
‘error/premature-termination’ value would be thrown while reading from a
session record port when the underlying session was terminated
prematurely. This was inconvenient since users of the port may not be
prepared to handle such an exception.
Reading from the session record port now returns the end-of-file object
instead of throwing an exception, just like it would for a proper
session termination.
** guile: Session record ports can have a ‘close’ procedure.
The ‘session-record-port’ procedure now takes an optional second
parameter, and a new ‘set-session-record-port-close!’ procedure is
provided to specify a ‘close’ procedure for a session record port.
This ‘close’ procedure lets users specify cleanup operations for when
the port is closed, such as closing the file descriptor or port that
backs the underlying session.
* Version 3.7.6 (released 2022-05-27)
** libgnutls: Fixed invalid write when gnutls_realloc_zero()
is called with new_size < old_size. This bug caused heap
corruption when gnutls_realloc_zero() has been set as gmp
reallocfunc (!1592, #1367, #1368, #1369).
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.7.5 (released 2022-05-15)
** libgnutls: The GNUTLS_NO_TICKETS_TLS12 flag and %NO_TICKETS_TLS12 priority
modifier have been added to disable session ticket usage in TLS 1.2 because
it does not provide forward secrecy (#477). On the other hand, since session
tickets in TLS 1.3 do provide forward secrecy, the PFS priority string now
only disables session tickets in TLS 1.2. Future backward incompatibility:
in the next major release of GnuTLS, we plan to remove those flag and
modifier, and make GNUTLS_NO_TICKETS and %NO_TICKETS only affect TLS 1.2.
** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: Channel binding for printing information
has been changed from tls-unique to tls-exporter as tls-unique is
not supported in TLS 1.3.
** libgnutls: Certificate sanity checks has been enhanced to make
gnutls more RFC 5280 compliant (!1583).
Following changes were included:
- critical extensions are parsed when loading x509
certificate to prohibit any random octet strings.
Requires strict-x509 configure option to be enabled
- garbage bits in Key Usage extension are prohibited
- empty DirectoryStrings in Distinguished name structures
of Issuer and Subject name are prohibited
** libgnutls: Removed 3DES from FIPS approved algorithms (#1353).
According to the section 2 of SP800-131A Rev.2, 3DES algorithm
will be disallowed for encryption after December 31, 2023:
https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-131a/rev-2/final
** libgnutls: Optimized support for AES-SIV-CMAC algorithms (#1217, #1312).
The existing AEAD API that works in a scatter-gather fashion
(gnutls_aead_cipher_encryptv2) has been extended to support AES-SIV-CMAC.
For further optimization, new function (gnutls_aead_cipher_set_key) has been
added to set key on the existing AEAD handle without re-allocation.
** libgnutls: HKDF and AES-GCM algorithms are now approved in FIPS-140 mode
when used in TLS (#1311).
** The configure arguments for Brotli and Zstandard (zstd) support
have changed to reflect the previous help text: they are now
--with-brotli/--with-zstd respectively (#1342).
** Detecting the Zstandard (zstd) library in configure has been
fixed (#1343).
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_NO_TICKETS_TLS12: New flag
gnutls_aead_cipher_set_key: New function
* Version 3.7.4 (released 2022-03-17)
** libgnutls: Added support for certificate compression as defined in RFC8879
(#1301). New API functions (gnutls_compress_certificate_get_selected_method
and gnutls_compress_certificate_set_methods) allow client and server to set
their preferences.
** certtool: Added option --compress-cert that allows user to specify
compression methods for certificate compression.
** libgnutls: GnuTLS can now be compiled with --enable-strict-x509 configure
option to enforce stricter certificate sanity checks that are compliant with
RFC5280.
** libgnutls: Removed IA5String type from DirectoryString within issuer
and subject name to make DirectoryString RFC5280 compliant.
** libgnutls: Added function (gnutls_record_send_file) to send file content from
open file descriptor (!1486). The implementation is optimized if KTLS (kernel
TLS) is enabled.
** libgnutls: Added function (gnutls_ciphersuite_get) to retrieve the name of
current ciphersuite from TLS session (#1291).
** libgnutls: The run-time dependency on tpm2-tss is now re-implemented using
dlopen, so GnuTLS does not indirectly link to other crypto libraries until
TPM2 functionality is utilized (!1544).
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_COMP_BROTLI: New gnutls_compression_method_t enum member
GNUTLS_COMP_ZSTD: New gnutls_compression_method_t enum member
gnutls_compress_certificate_get_selected_method: Added
gnutls_compress_certificate_set_methods: Added
gnutls_ciphersuite_get: New function
gnutls_record_send_file: New function
libgnutlsxx: Soname bumped due to ABI breakage introduced in 3.7.1
* Version 3.7.3 (released 2022-01-17)
** libgnutls: The allowlisting configuration mode has been added to the system-wide
settings. In this mode, all the algorithms are initially marked as insecure
or disabled, while the applications can re-enable them either through the
[overrides] section of the configuration file or the new API (#1172).
** The build infrastructure no longer depends on GNU AutoGen for generating
command-line option handling, template file parsing in certtool, and
documentation generation (#773, #774). This change also removes run-time or
bundled dependency on the libopts library, and requires Python 3.6 or later
to regenerate the distribution tarball.
Note that this brings in known backward incompatibility in command-line
tools, such as long options are now case sensitive, while previously they
were treated in a case insensitive manner: for example --RSA is no longer a
valid option of certtool. The existing scripts using GnuTLS tools may need
adjustment for this change.
** libgnutls: The tpm2-tss-engine compatible private blobs can be loaded and
used as a gnutls_privkey_t (#594). The code was originally written for the
OpenConnect VPN project by David Woodhouse. To generate such blobs, use the
tpm2tss-genkey tool from tpm2-tss-engine:
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss-engine/#rsa-operations
or the tpm2_encodeobject tool from unreleased tpm2-tools.
** libgnutls: The library now transparently enables Linux KTLS
(kernel TLS) when the feature is compiled in with --enable-ktls configuration
option (#1113). If the KTLS initialization fails it automatically falls back
to the user space implementation.
** certtool: The certtool command can now read the Certificate Transparency
(RFC 6962) SCT extension (#232). New API functions are also provided to
access and manipulate the extension values.
** certtool: The certtool command can now generate, manipulate, and evaluate
x25519 and x448 public keys, private keys, and certificates.
** libgnutls: Disabling a hashing algorithm through "insecure-hash"
configuration directive now also disables TLS ciphersuites that use it as a
PRF algorithm.
** libgnutls: PKCS#12 files are now created with modern algorithms by default
(!1499). Previously certtool used PKCS12-3DES-SHA1 for key derivation and
HMAC-SHA1 as an integity measure in PKCS#12. Now it uses AES-128-CBC with
PBKDF2 and SHA-256 for both key derivation and MAC algorithms, and the
default PBKDF2 iteration count has been increased to 600000.
** libgnutls: PKCS#12 keys derived using GOST algorithm now uses
HMAC_GOSTR3411_2012_512 instead of HMAC_GOSTR3411_2012_256 for integrity, to
conform with the latest TC-26 requirements (#1225).
** libgnutls: The library now provides a means to report the status of approved
cryptographic operations (!1465). To adhere to the FIPS140-3 IG 2.4.C., this
complements the existing mechanism to prohibit the use of unapproved
algorithms by making the library unusable state.
** gnutls-cli: The gnutls-cli command now provides a --list-config option to
print the library configuration (!1508).
** libgnutls: Fixed possible race condition in
gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_crt2 when a single trust list object is shared
among multiple threads (#1277). [GNUTLS-SA-2022-01-17, CVSS: low]
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_RSA_PSS_FIXED_SALT_LENGTH: new flag in gnutls_privkey_flags_t
GNUTLS_VERIFY_RSA_PSS_FIXED_SALT_LENGTH: new flag in gnutls_certificate_verify_flags
gnutls_ecc_curve_set_enabled: Added.
gnutls_sign_set_secure: Added.
gnutls_sign_set_secure_for_certs: Added.
gnutls_digest_set_secure: Added.
gnutls_protocol_set_enabled: Added.
gnutls_fips140_context_init: New function
gnutls_fips140_context_deinit: New function
gnutls_fips140_push_context: New function
gnutls_fips140_pop_context: New function
gnutls_fips140_get_operation_state: New function
gnutls_fips140_operation_state_t: New enum
gnutls_transport_is_ktls_enabled: New function
gnutls_get_library_configuration: New function
* Version 3.7.2 (released 2021-05-29)
** libgnutls: The priority string option %DISABLE_TLS13_COMPAT_MODE was added
to disable TLS 1.3 middlebox compatibility mode
** libgnutls: The Linux kernel AF_ALG based acceleration has been added.
This can be enabled with --enable-afalg configure option, when libkcapi
package is installed (#308).
** libgnutls: Fixed timing of early data exchange. Previously, the client was
sending early data after receiving Server Hello, which not only negates the
benefit of 0-RTT, but also works under certain assumptions hold (e.g., the
same ciphersuite is selected in initial and resumption handshake) (#1146).
** certtool: When signing a CSR, CRL distribution point (CDP) is no longer
copied from the signing CA by default (#1126).
** libgnutls: The GNUTLS_NO_EXPLICIT_INIT envvar has been renamed to
GNUTLS_NO_IMPLICIT_INIT to reflect the purpose (#1178). The former is now
deprecated and will be removed in the future releases.
** certtool: When producing certificates and certificate requests, subject DN
components that are provided individually will now be ordered by
assumed scale (e.g. Country before State, Organization before
OrganizationalUnit). This change also affects the order in which
certtool prompts interactively. Please rely on the template
mechanism for automated use of certtool! (#1243)
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_early_cipher_get: Added
gnutls_early_prf_hash_get: Added
** guile: Writes to a session record port no longer throw an exception upon
GNUTLS_E_AGAIN or GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED.
* Version 3.7.1 (released 2021-03-10)
** libgnutls: Fixed potential use-after-free in sending "key_share"
and "pre_shared_key" extensions. When sending those extensions, the
client may dereference a pointer no longer valid after
realloc. This happens only when the client sends a large Client
Hello message, e.g., when HRR is sent in a resumed session
previously negotiated large FFDHE parameters, because the initial
allocation of the buffer is large enough without having to call
realloc (#1151). [GNUTLS-SA-2021-03-10, CVSS: low]
** libgnutls: Fixed a regression in handling duplicated certs in a
chain (#1131).
** libgnutls: Fixed sending of session ID in TLS 1.3 middlebox
compatibility mode. In that mode the client shall always send a
non-zero session ID to make the handshake resemble the TLS 1.2
resumption; this was not true in the previous versions (#1074).
** libgnutls: W32 performance improvement with a new sendmsg()-like
transport implementation (!1377).
** libgnutls: Removed dependency on the external 'fipscheck' package,
when compiled with --enable-fips140-mode (#1101).
** libgnutls: Added padlock acceleration for AES-192-CBC (#1004).
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.7.0 (released 2020-12-02)
** libgnutls: Depend on nettle 3.6 (!1322).
** libgnutls: Added a new API that provides a callback function to
retrieve missing certificates from incomplete certificate chains
(#202, #968, #1100).
** libgnutls: Added a new API that provides a callback function to
output the complete path to the trusted root during certificate
chain verification (#1012).
** libgnutls: OIDs exposed as gnutls_datum_t no longer account for the
terminating null bytes, while the data field is null terminated.
The affected API functions are: gnutls_ocsp_req_get_extension,
gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_response, and gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_extension
(#805).
** libgnutls: Added a new set of API to enable QUIC implementation (#826, #849,
#850).
** libgnutls: The crypto implementation override APIs deprecated in 3.6.9 are
now no-op (#790).
** libgnutls: Added MAGMA/KUZNYECHIK CTR-ACPKM and CMAC support (!1161).
** libgnutls: Support for padlock has been fixed to make it work with Zhaoxin
CPU (#1079).
** libgnutls: The maximum PIN length for PKCS #11 has been increased from 31
bytes to 255 bytes (#932).
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_trust_list_set_getissuer_function: Added
gnutls_x509_trust_list_get_ptr: Added
gnutls_x509_trust_list_set_ptr: Added
gnutls_session_set_verify_output_function: Added
gnutls_record_encryption_level_t: New enum

* Version 3.6.15 (releases 2020-09-04)
** libgnutls: Fixed "no_renegotiation" alert handling at incorrect timing.
The server sending a "no_renegotiation" alert in an unexpected timing,
followed by an invalid second handshake was able to cause a TLS 1.3 client to
crash via a null-pointer dereference. The crash happens in the application's
error handling path, where the gnutls_deinit function is called after
detecting a handshake failure (#1071). [GNUTLS-SA-2020-09-04, CVSS: medium]
** libgnutls: If FIPS self-tests are failed, gnutls_fips140_mode_enabled() now
indicates that with a false return value (!1306).
** libgnutls: Under FIPS mode, the generated ECDH/DH public keys are checked
accordingly to SP800-56A rev 3 (!1295, !1299).
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_export2() now returns 0 upon success, rather than
the size of the internal base64 blob (#1025). The new behavior aligns to the
existing documentation.
** libgnutls: Certificate verification failure due to OCSP must-stapling is not
honered is now correctly marked with the GNUTLS_CERT_INVALID flag
(!1317). The new behavior aligns to the existing documentation.
** libgnutls: The audit log message for weak hashes is no longer printed twice
(!1301).
** libgnutls: Fixed version negotiation when TLS 1.3 is enabled and TLS 1.2 is
disabled in the priority string. Previously, even when TLS 1.2 is explicitly
disabled with "-VERS-TLS1.2", the server still offered TLS 1.2 if TLS 1.3 is
enabled (#1054).
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.6.14 (released 2020-06-03)
** libgnutls: Fixed insecure session ticket key construction, since 3.6.4.
The TLS server would not bind the session ticket encryption key with a
value supplied by the application until the initial key rotation, allowing
attacker to bypass authentication in TLS 1.3 and recover previous
conversations in TLS 1.2 (#1011).
[GNUTLS-SA-2020-06-03, CVSS: high]
** libgnutls: Fixed handling of certificate chain with cross-signed
intermediate CA certificates (#1008).
** libgnutls: Fixed reception of empty session ticket under TLS 1.2 (#997).
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_print() is enhanced to recognizes commonName
(2.5.4.3), decodes certificate policy OIDs (!1245), and prints Authority
Key Identifier (AKI) properly (#989, #991).
** certtool: PKCS #7 attributes are now printed with symbolic names (!1246).
** libgnutls: Added several improvements on Windows Vista and later releases
(!1257, !1254, !1256). Most notably the system random number generator now
uses Windows BCrypt* API if available (!1255).
** libgnutls: Use accelerated AES-XTS implementation if possible (!1244).
Also both accelerated and non-accelerated implementations check key block
according to FIPS-140-2 IG A.9 (!1233).
** libgnutls: Added support for AES-SIV ciphers (#463).
** libgnutls: Added support for 192-bit AES-GCM cipher (!1267).
** libgnutls: No longer use internal symbols exported from Nettle (!1235)
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_128_SIV: Added
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_256_SIV: Added
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_192_GCM: Added
GNUTLS_NO_AUTO_SEND_TICKET: Added
gnutls_ext_get_name2: Added
gnutls_pkcs7_print_signature_info: Added
* Version 3.6.13 (released 2020-03-31)
** libgnutls: Fix a DTLS-protocol regression (caused by TLS1.3 support), since 3.6.3.
The DTLS client would not contribute any randomness to the DTLS negotiation,
breaking the security guarantees of the DTLS protocol (#960)
[GNUTLS-SA-2020-03-31, CVSS: high]
** libgnutls: Added new APIs to access KDF algorithms (#813).
** libgnutls: Added new callback gnutls_keylog_func that enables a custom
logging functionality.
** libgnutls: Added support for non-null terminated usernames in PSK
negotiation (#586).
** gnutls-cli-debug: Improved support for old servers that only support
SSL 3.0.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_hkdf_extract: Added
gnutls_hkdf_expand: Added
gnutls_pbkdf2: Added
gnutls_session_get_keylog_function: Added
gnutls_session_set_keylog_function: Added
gnutls_prf_hash_get: Added

gnutls_psk_set_client_credentials_function2: Added
gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_function2: Added
* Version 3.6.12 (released 2020-02-01)
** libgnutls: Introduced TLS session flag (gnutls_session_get_flags())
to identify sessions that client request OCSP status request (#829).
** libgnutls: Added support for X448 key exchange (RFC 7748) and Ed448
signature algorithm (RFC 8032) under TLS (#86).
** libgnutls: Added the default-priority-string option to system configuration;
it allows overriding the compiled-in default-priority-string.
** libgnutls: Added support for GOST CNT_IMIT ciphersuite (as defined by
draft-smyshlyaev-tls12-gost-suites-07).
By default this ciphersuite is disabled. It can be enabled by adding
+GOST to priority string. In the future this priority string may enable
other GOST ciphersuites as well. Note, that server will fail to negotiate
GOST ciphersuites if TLS 1.3 is enabled both on a server and a client. It
is recommended for now to disable TLS 1.3 in setups where GOST ciphersuites
are enabled on GnuTLS-based servers.
** libgnutls: added priority shortcuts for different GOST categories like
CIPHER-GOST-ALL, MAC-GOST-ALL, KX-GOST-ALL, SIGN-GOST-ALL, GROUP-GOST-ALL.
** libgnutls: Reject certificates with invalid time fields. That is we reject
certificates with invalid characters in Time fields, or invalid time formatting
To continue accepting the invalid form compile with --disable-strict-der-time
(#207, #870).
** libgnutls: Reject certificates which contain duplicate extensions. We were
previously printing warnings when printing such a certificate, but that is
not always sufficient to flag such certificates as invalid. Instead we now
refuse to import them (#887).
** libgnutls: If a CA is found in the trusted list, check in addition to
time validity, whether the algorithms comply to the expected level prior
to accepting it. This addresses the problem of accepting CAs which would
have been marked as insecure otherwise (#877).
** libgnutls: The min-verification-profile from system configuration applies
for all certificate verifications, not only under TLS. The configuration can
be overridden using the GNUTLS_SYSTEM_PRIORITY_FILE environment variable.
** libgnutls: The stapled OCSP certificate verification adheres to the convention
used throughout the library of setting the 'GNUTLS_CERT_INVALID' flag.
** libgnutls: On client side only send OCSP staples if they have been requested
by the server, and on server side always advertise that we support OCSP stapling
(#876).
** libgnutls: Introduced the gnutls_ocsp_req_const_t which is compatible
with gnutls_ocsp_req_t but const.
** certtool: Added the --verify-profile option to set a certificate
verification profile. Use '--verify-profile low' for certificate verification
to apply the 'NORMAL' verification profile.
** certtool: The add_extension template option is considered even when generating
a certificate from a certificate request.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_SFLAGS_CLI_REQUESTED_OCSP: Added
GNUTLS_SFLAGS_SERV_REQUESTED_OCSP: Added
gnutls_ocsp_req_const_t: Added
* Version 3.6.11 (released 2019-12-01)
** libgnutls: Use KERN_ARND for the system random number generator on NetBSD.
This syscall provides an endless stream of random numbers from the kernel's
ChaCha20-based random number generator, without blocking or requiring an open file
descriptor.
** libgnutls: Corrected issue with TLS 1.2 session ticket handling as client
during resumption (#841).
** libgnutls: gnutls_base64_decode2() succeeds decoding the empty string to
the empty string. This is a behavioral change of the API but it conforms
to the RFC4648 expectations (#834).
** libgnutls: Fixed AES-CFB8 implementation, when input is shorter than
the block size. Fix backported from nettle.
** certtool: CRL distribution points will be set in CA certificates even when
non self-signed (#765).
** gnutls-cli/serv: added raw public-key handling capabilities (RFC7250).
Key material can be set via the --rawpkkeyfile and --rawpkfile flags.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.6.10 (released 2019-09-29)
** libgnutls: Added support for deterministic ECDSA/DSA (RFC6979)
Deterministic signing can be enabled by setting
GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE when calling gnutls_privkey_sign_*()
functions (#94).
** libgnutls: add gnutls_aead_cipher_encryptv2 and gnutls_aead_cipher_decryptv2
functions that will perform in-place encryption/decryption on data buffers (#718).
** libgnutls: Corrected issue in gnutls_session_get_data2() which could fail under
TLS1.3, if a timeout callback was not set using gnutls_transport_set_pull_timeout_function()
(#823).
** libgnutls: added interoperability tests with gnutls 2.12.x; addressed
issue with large record handling due to random padding (#811).
** libgnutls: the server now selects the highest TLS protocol version,
if TLS 1.3 is enabled and the client advertises an older protocol version first (#837).
** libgnutls: fix non-PIC assembly on i386 (#818).
** libgnutls: added support for GOST 28147-89 cipher in CNT (GOST counter) mode
and MAC generation based on GOST 28147-89 (IMIT). For description of the
modes see RFC 5830. S-Box is id-tc26-gost-28147-param-Z (TC26Z) defined in
RFC 7836.
** certtool: when outputting an encrypted private key do not insert the textual description
of it. This fixes a regression since 3.6.5 (#840).
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_aead_cipher_encryptv2: Added
gnutls_aead_cipher_decryptv2: Added
GNUTLS_CIPHER_GOST28147_TC26Z_CNT: Added
GNUTLS_MAC_GOST28147_TC26Z_IMIT: Added
* Version 3.6.9 (released 2019-07-25)
** libgnutls: add gnutls_hash_copy/gnutls_hmac_copy functions that will create a copy
of digest or MAC context. Copying contexts for externally-registered digest and MAC
contexts is unupported (#787).
** Marked the crypto implementation override APIs as deprecated. These APIs are rarely
used, are for a niche use case, but have significant side effects, such as preventing
any internal re-organization and extension of the internal cipher API. The APIs remain
functional though a compiler warning will be issued, and a future minor version update
may transform them to a no-op while keeping ABI compatibility (#789).
** libgnutls: Added support for AES-GMAC, as a separate to GCM, MAC algorithm (#781).
** libgnutls: gnutls_privkey_sign_hash2 now accepts the GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_TLS1_RSA
flag as documented. This makes it a complete replacement of gnutls_privkey_sign_hash().
** libgnutls: Added support for Generalname registeredID.
** The priority configuration was enhanced to allow more elaborate
system-wide configuration of the library (#587).
The following changes were included:
- The file is read as an ini file with '#' indicating a comment.
- The section "[priorities]" or global follows the existing semantics of
the configuration file, and allows to specify system-wide priority strings
which are accessed with the '@' prefix.
- The section "[overrides]" is added with the parameters "insecure-hash",
"insecure-sig", "insecure-sig-for-cert", "disabled-curve",
"disabled-version", "min-verification-profile", "tls-disabled-cipher",
"tls-disabled-mac", "tls-disabled-group", "tls-disabled-kx", which prohibit
specific algorithms or options globally. Existing algorithms in the
library can be marked as disabled and insecure, but no hard-coded
insecure algorithm can be marked as secure (so that the configuration
cannot be abused to make the system vulnerable).
- Unknown sections or options are skipped with a debug message, unless
the GNUTLS_SYSTEM_PRIORITY_FAIL_ON_INVALID environment parameter is
set to 1.
** libgnutls: Added new flag for GNUTLS_CPUID_OVERRIDE

* Version 3.6.8 (released 2019-05-28)
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_prf_early() function to retrieve early keying
material (#329)
** libgnutls: Added support for AES-XTS cipher (#354)
** libgnutls: Fix calculation of Streebog digests (incorrect carry operation in
512 bit addition)
** libgnutls: During Diffie-Hellman operations in TLS, verify that the peer's
public key is on the right subgroup (y^q=1 mod p), when q is available (under
TLS 1.3 and under earlier versions when RFC7919 parameters are used).
** libgnutls: the gnutls_srp_set_server_credentials_function can now be used
with the 8192 parameters as well (#995).
** libgnutls: Fixed bug preventing the use of gnutls_pubkey_verify_data2() and
gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2() with the GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_CA_SIGN flag (#754)
** libgnutls: The priority string option %ALLOW_SMALL_RECORDS was added to allow
clients to communicate with the server advertising smaller limits than 512
** libgnutls: Apply STD3 ASCII rules in gnutls_idna_map() to prevent
hostname/domain crafting via IDNA conversion (#720)
** certtool: allow the digital signature key usage flag in CA certificates.
Previously certtool would ignore this flag for CA certificates even if
specified (#767)
** gnutls-cli/serv: added the --keymatexport and --keymatexportsize options.
These allow testing the RFC5705 using these tools.
** API and ABI modifications:

* Version 3.6.7 (released 2019-03-27)
** libgnutls, gnutls tools: Every gnutls_free() will automatically set
the free'd pointer to NULL. This prevents possible use-after-free and
double free issues. Use-after-free will be turned into NULL dereference.
The counter-measure does not extend to applications using gnutls_free().
** libgnutls: Fixed a memory corruption (double free) vulnerability in the
certificate verification API. Reported by Tavis Ormandy; addressed with
the change above. [GNUTLS-SA-2019-03-27, #694]
** libgnutls: Fixed an invalid pointer access via malformed TLS1.3 async messages;
Found using tlsfuzzer. [GNUTLS-SA-2019-03-27, #704]
** libgnutls: enforce key usage limitations on certificates more actively.
Previously we would enforce it for TLS1.2 protocol, now we enforce it
even when TLS1.3 is negotiated, or on client certificates as well. When
an inappropriate for TLS1.3 certificate is seen on the credentials structure
GnuTLS will disable TLS1.3 support for that session (#690).
** libgnutls: the default number of tickets sent under TLS 1.3 was increased to
two. This makes it easier for clients which perform multiple connections
to the server to use the tickets sent by a default server.
** libgnutls: enforce the equality of the two signature parameters fields in
a certificate. We were already enforcing the signature algorithm, but there
was a bug in parameter checking code.
** libgnutls: fixed issue preventing sending and receiving from different
threads when false start was enabled (#713).
** libgnutls: the flag GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAG_LOGIN_SO now implies a writable
session, as non-writeable security officer sessions are undefined in PKCS#11
(#721).
** libgnutls: no longer send downgrade sentinel in TLS 1.3.
Previously the sentinel value was embedded to early in version
negotiation and was sent even on TLS 1.3. It is now sent only when
TLS 1.2 or earlier is negotiated (#689).
** gnutls-cli: Added option --logfile to redirect informational messages output.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.6.6 (released 2019-01-25)
** libgnutls: gnutls_pubkey_import_ecc_raw() was fixed to set the number bits
on the public key (#640).
** libgnutls: Added support for raw public-key authentication as defined in RFC7250.
Raw public-keys can be negotiated by enabling the corresponding certificate
types via the priority strings. The raw public-key mechanism must be explicitly
enabled via the GNUTLS_ENABLE_RAWPK init flag (#26, #280).
** libgnutls: When on server or client side we are sending no extensions we do
not set an empty extensions field but we rather remove that field completely.
This solves a regression since 3.5.x and improves compatibility of the server
side with certain clients.
** libgnutls: We no longer mark RSA keys in PKCS#11 tokens as RSA-PSS capable if
the CKA_SIGN is not set (#667).
** libgnutls: The priority string option %NO_EXTENSIONS was improved to completely
disable extensions at all cases, while providing a functional session. This
also implies that when specified, TLS1.3 is disabled.
** libgnutls: GNUTLS_X509_NO_WELL_DEFINED_EXPIRATION was marked as deprecated.
The previous definition was non-functional (#609).
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_ENABLE_RAWPK: Added
GNUTLS_ENABLE_CERT_TYPE_NEG: Removed (was no-op; replaced by GNUTLS_ENABLE_RAWPK)
GNUTLS_X509_NO_WELL_DEFINED_EXPIRATION: Deprecated
GNUTLS_PCERT_NO_CERT: Deprecated
* Version 3.6.5 (released 2018-12-01)
** libgnutls: Provide the option of transparent re-handshake/reauthentication
when the GNUTLS_AUTO_REAUTH flag is specified in gnutls_init() (#571).
** libgnutls: Added support for TLS 1.3 zero round-trip (0-RTT) mode (#127)
** libgnutls: The priority functions will ignore and not enable TLS1.3 if
requested with legacy TLS versions enabled but not TLS1.2. That is because
if such a priority string is used in the client side (e.g., TLS1.3+TLS1.0 enabled)
servers which do not support TLS1.3 will negotiate TLS1.2 which will be
rejected by the client as disabled (#621).
** libgnutls: Change RSA decryption to use a new side-channel silent function.
This addresses a security issue where memory access patterns as well as timing
on the underlying Nettle rsa-decrypt function could lead to new Bleichenbacher
attacks. Side-channel resistant code is slower due to the need to mask
access and timings. When used in TLS the new functions cause RSA based
handshakes to be between 13% and 28% slower on average (Numbers are indicative,
the tests where performed on a relatively modern Intel CPU, results vary
depending on the CPU and architecture used). This change makes nettle 3.4.1
the minimum requirement of gnutls (#630). [CVSS: medium]
** libgnutls: gnutls_priority_init() and friends, allow the CTYPE-OPENPGP keyword
in the priority string. It is only accepted as legacy option and is ignored.
** libgnutls: Added support for EdDSA under PKCS#11 (#417)
** libgnutls: Added support for AES-CFB8 cipher (#357)
** libgnutls: Added support for AES-CMAC MAC (#351)
** libgnutls: In two previous versions GNUTLS_CIPHER_GOST28147_CPB/CPC/CPD_CFB ciphers
have incorrectly used CryptoPro-A S-BOX instead of proper (CryptoPro-B/-C/-D
S-BOXes). They are fixed now.
** libgnutls: Added support for GOST key unmasking and unwrapped GOST private
keys parsing, as specified in R 50.1.112-2016.
** gnutls-serv: It applies the default settings when no --priority option is given,
using gnutls_set_default_priority().
** p11tool: Fix initialization of security officer's PIN with the --initialize-so-pin
option (#561)
** certtool: Add parameter --no-text that prevents certtool from outputting
text before PEM-encoded private key, public key, certificate, CRL or CSR.
** API and ABI modifications:

* Version 3.6.4 (released 2018-09-24)
** libgnutls: Added the final (RFC8446) version numbering of the TLS1.3 protocol.
** libgnutls: Corrected regression since 3.6.3 in the callbacks set with
gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function() which could not handle the case where
no certificates were returned, or the callbacks were set to NULL (see #528).
** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake() on server returns early on handshake when no
certificate is presented by client and the gnutls_init() flag GNUTLS_ENABLE_EARLY_START
is specified.
** libgnutls: Added session ticket key rotation on server side with TOTP.
The key set with gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server() is used as a
master key to generate time-based keys for tickets. The rotation
relates to the gnutls_db_set_cache_expiration() period.
** libgnutls: The 'record size limit' extension is added and preferred to the
'max record size' extension when possible.
** libgnutls: Provide a more flexible PKCS#11 search of trust store certificates.
This addresses the problem where the CA certificate doesn't have a subject key
identifier whereas the end certificates have an authority key identifier (#569)
** libgnutls: gnutls_privkey_export_gost_raw2(), gnutls_privkey_import_gost_raw(),
gnutls_pubkey_export_gost_raw2(), gnutls_pubkey_import_gost_raw() import
and export GOST parameters in the "native" little endian format used for these
curves. This is an intentional incompatible change with 3.6.3.
** libgnutls: Added support for separately negotiating client and server certificate types
as defined in RFC7250. This mechanism must be explicitly enabled via the
GNUTLS_ENABLE_CERT_TYPE_NEG flag in gnutls_init().
** gnutls-cli: enable CRL validation on startup (#564)
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_ENABLE_EARLY_START: Added
GNUTLS_ENABLE_CERT_TYPE_NEG: Added
GNUTLS_TL_FAIL_ON_INVALID_CRL: Added

gnutls_ffdhe_6144_key_bits: Added
* Version 3.6.3 (released 2018-07-16)
** libgnutls: Introduced support for draft-ietf-tls-tls13-28. It includes version
negotiation, post handshake authentication, length hiding, multiple OCSP support,
consistent ciphersuite support across protocols, hello retry requests, ability
to adjust key shares via gnutls_init() flags, certificate authorities extension,
and key usage limits. TLS1.3 draft-28 support can be enabled by default if
the option --enable-tls13-support is given to configure script.
** libgnutls: Apply compatibility settings for existing applications running with TLS1.2 or
earlier and TLS 1.3. When SRP or NULL ciphersuites are specified in priority strings
TLS 1.3 is will be disabled. When Anonymous ciphersuites are specified in priority
strings, then TLS 1.3 negotiation will be disabled if the session is associated
only with an anonymous credentials structure.
** Added support for Russian Public Key Infrastructure according to RFCs 4491/4357/7836.
This adds support for using GOST keys for digital signatures and under PKCS#7, PKCS#12,
and PKCS#8 standards. In particular added elliptic curves GOST R 34.10-2001 CryptoProA
256-bit curve (RFC 4357), GOST R 34.10-2001 CryptoProXchA 256-bit curve (RFC 4357),
and GOST R 34.10-2012 TC26-512-A 512-bit curve (RFC 7836).
** Provide a uniform cipher list across supported TLS protocols; the CAMELLIA ciphers
as well as ciphers utilizing HMAC-SHA384 and SHA256 have been removed from the default
priority strings, as they are undefined under TLS1.3 and they provide no advantage
over other options in earlier protocols.
** The SSL 3.0 protocol is disabled on compile-time by default. It can be re-enabled
by specifying --enable-ssl3-support on configure script.
** libgnutls: Introduced function to switch the current FIPS140-2 operational
mode, i.e., strict vs a more lax mode which will allow certain non FIPS140-2
operations.
** libgnutls: Introduced low-level function to assist applications attempting client
hello extension parsing, prior to GnuTLS' parsing of the message.
** libgnutls: When exporting an X.509 certificate avoid re-encoding if there are no
modifications to the certificate. That prevents DER re-encoding issues with incorrectly
encoded certificates, or other DER incompatibilities to affect a TLS session.
Relates with #403
** libgnutls: on group exchange honor the %SERVER_PRECEDENCE and select the groups
which are preferred by the server. That unfortunately has complicated semantics
as TLS1.2 requires specific ordering of the groups based on the ciphersuite ordering,
which could make group order unpredictable if TLS1.3 is negotiated.
** Improved counter-measures for TLS CBC record padding. Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen
and Adi Shamir reported that the existing counter-measures had certain issues and
were insufficient when the attacker has additional access to the CPU cache and
performs a chosen-plaintext attack. This affected the legacy CBC ciphersuites. [CVSS: medium]
** Introduced the %FORCE_ETM priority string option. This option prevents the negotiation
of legacy CBC ciphersuites unless encrypt-then-mac is negotiated.
** libgnutls: gnutls_privkey_import_ext4() was enhanced with the
GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_INFO_PK_ALGO_BITS flag.
** libgnutls: gnutls_pkcs11_copy_secret_key, gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_privkey2,
gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_generate3 will mark objects as sensitive by default
unless GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAG_MARK_NOT_SENSITIVE is specified. This is an API
change for these functions which make them err towards safety.
** libgnutls: improved aarch64 cpu features detection by using getauxval().
** certtool: It is now possible to specify certificate and serial CRL numbers greater
than 2**63-2 as a hex-encoded string both when prompted and in a template file.
Default certificate serial numbers are now fully random. Default CRL
numbers include more random bits and are larger than in previous GnuTLS versions.
Since CRL numbers are required to be monotonic, specify suitable CRL numbers manually
if you intend to later downgrade to previous versions as it was not possible
to specify large CRL numbers in previous versions of certtool.

* Version 3.6.2 (released 2018-02-16)
** libgnutls: When verifying against a self signed certificate ignore issuer.
That is, ignore issuer when checking the issuer's parameters strength, resolving
issue #347 which caused self signed certificates to be additionally marked as of
insufficient security level.
** libgnutls: Corrected MTU calculation for the CBC ciphersuites. The data
MTU calculation now, it correctly accounts for the fixed overhead due to
padding (as 1 byte), while at the same time considers the rest of the
padding as part of data MTU.
** libgnutls: Address issue of loading of all PKCS#11 modules on startup
on systems with a PKCS#11 trust store (as opposed to a file trust store).
Introduced a multi-stage initialization which loads the trust modules, and
other modules are deferred for the first pure PKCS#11 request.
** libgnutls: The SRP authentication will reject any parameters outside
RFC5054. This protects any client from potential MitM due to insecure
parameters. That also brings SRP in par with the RFC7919 changes to
Diffie-Hellman.
** libgnutls: Added the 8192-bit parameters of SRP to the accepted parameters
for SRP authentication.
** libgnutls: Addressed issue in the accelerated code affecting interoperability
with versions of nettle >= 3.4.
** libgnutls: Addressed issue in the AES-GCM acceleration under aarch64.
** libgnutls: Addressed issue in the AES-CBC acceleration under ssse3 (patch by
Vitezslav Cizek).
** srptool: the --create-conf option no longer includes 1024-bit parameters.
** p11tool: Fixed the deletion of objects in batch mode.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_srp_8192_group_generator: Added
gnutls_srp_8192_group_prime: Added
* Version 3.6.1 (released 2017-10-21)
** libgnutls: Fixed interoperability issue with openssl when safe renegotiation was
used. Resolves gitlab issue #259.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crl_sign, gnutls_x509_crt_sign,
gnutls_x509_crq_sign, were modified to sign with a better algorithm than
SHA1. They will now sign with an algorithm that corresponds to the security
level of the signer's key.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_*_sign2() functions and gnutls_x509_*_privkey_sign()
accept GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN (0) as a hash function option. That will signal
the function to auto-detect an appropriate hash algorithm to use.
** libgnutls: Removed support for signature algorithms using SHA2-224 in TLS.
TLS 1.3 no longer uses SHA2-224 and it was never a widespread algorithm
in TLS 1.2. As such, no reason to keep supporting it.
** libgnutls: Refuse to use client certificates containing disallowed
algorithms for a session. That reverts a change on 3.5.5, which allowed
a client to use DSA-SHA1 due to his old DSA certificate, without requiring him
to enable DSA-SHA1 (and thus make it acceptable for the server's certificate).
The previous approach was to allow a smooth move for client infrastructure
after the DSA algorithm became disabled by default, and is no longer necessary
as DSA is now being universally deprecated.
** libgnutls: Refuse to resume a session which had a different SNI advertised. That
improves RFC6066 support in server side. Reported by Thomas Klute.
** p11tool: Mark all generated objects as sensitive by default.
** p11tool: added options --sign-params and --hash. This allows testing
signature with multiple algorithms, including RSA-PSS.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.6.0 (released 2017-08-21)
** libgnutls: tlsfuzzer is part of the CI testsuite. This is a TLS testing and
fuzzying toolkit, allowing for corner case testing, and ensuring that the
behavior of the library will not change across releases.
https://github.com/tomato42/tlsfuzzer
** libgnutls: Introduced a lock-free random generator which operates per-thread
and eliminates random-generator related bottlenecks in multi-threaded operation.
Resolves gitlab issue #141.
http://nmav.gnutls.org/2017/03/improving-by-simplifying-gnutls-prng.html
** libgnutls: Replaced the Salsa20 random generator with one based on CHACHA.
The goal is to reduce code needed in cache (CHACHA is also used for TLS),
and the number of primitives used by the library. That does not affect the
AES-DRBG random generator used in FIPS140-2 mode.
** libgnutls: Added support for RSA-PSS key type as well as signatures in
certificates, and TLS key exchange. Contributed by Daiki Ueno.
RSA-PSS signatures can be generated by RSA-PSS keys and normal RSA keys,
but not vice-versa. The feature includes:
* RSA-PSS key generation and key handling (in PKCS#8 form)
* RSA-PSS key generation and key handling from PKCS#11 (with CKM_RSA_PKCS_PSS mech)
* Handling of RSA-PSS subjectPublicKeyInfo parameters, when present
in either the private key or certificate.
* RSA-PSS signing and verification of PKIX certificates
* RSA-PSS signing and verification of TLS 1.2 handshake
* RSA-PSS signing and verification of PKCS#7 structures
* RSA-PSS and RSA key combinations for TLS credentials. That is, when
multiple keys are supplied, RSA-PSS keys are preferred over RSA for RSA-PSS
TLS signatures, to contain risks of cross-protocol attacks between the algorithms.
* RSA-PSS key conversion to RSA PKCS#1 form (certtool --to-rsa)
Note that RSA-PSS signatures with SHA1 are (intentionally) not supported.
** libgnutls: Added support for Ed25519 signing in certificates and TLS key
exchange following draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-17. The feature includes:
* Ed25519 key generation and key handling (in PKCS#8 form)
* Ed25519 signing and verification of PKIX certificates
* Ed25519 signing and verification of TLS 1.2 handshake
* Ed25519 signing and verification of PKCS#7 structures
** libgnutls: Enabled X25519 key exchange by default, following draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-17.
** libgnutls: Added support for Diffie-Hellman group negotiation following RFC7919.
That makes the DH parameters negotiation more robust and less prone to errors
due to insecure parameters. Servers are no longer required to specific explicit
DH parameters, though if they do these parameters will be used. Group
selection can be done via priority strings. The introduced strings are
GROUP-ALL, GROUP-FFDHE2048, GROUP-FFDHE3072, GROUP-FFDHE4096 and
GROUP-FFDHE8192, as well as the corresponding to curves groups. Note that
the 6144 group from RFC7919 is not supported.
** libgnutls: Introduced various sanity checks on certificate import. Refuse
to import certificates which have fractional seconds in Time fields, X.509v1
certificates which have the unique identifiers set, and certificates with illegal
version numbers. All of these are prohibited by RFC5280.
** libgnutls: Introduced gnutls_x509_crt_set_flags(). This function can set flags
in the crt structure. The only flag supported at the moment is
GNUTLS_X509_CRT_FLAG_IGNORE_SANITY which skips the certificate sanity
checks on import.
** libgnutls: PKIX certificates with unknown critical extensions are rejected
on verification with status GNUTLS_CERT_UNKNOWN_CRIT_EXTENSIONS. This
behavior can be overridden by providing the flag GNUTLS_VERIFY_IGNORE_UNKNOWN_CRIT_EXTENSIONS
to verification functions. Resolves gitlab issue #177.
** libgnutls: Refuse to generate a certificate with an illegal version, or an
illegal serial number. That is, gnutls_x509_crt_set_version() and
gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(), will fail on input considered to be invalid
in RFC5280.
** libgnutls: Calls to gnutls_record_send() and gnutls_record_recv()
prior to handshake being complete are now refused. Addresses gitlab issue #158.
** libgnutls: Added support for PKCS#12 files with no salt (zero length) in their
password encoding, and PKCS#12 files using SHA384 and SHA512 as MAC.
** libgnutls: Exported functions to encode and decode DSA and ECDSA r,s values.
** libgnutls: Added new callback setting function to gnutls_privkey_t for external
keys. The new function (gnutls_privkey_import_ext4), allows signing in addition
to previous algorithms (RSA PKCS#1 1.5, DSA, ECDSA), with RSA-PSS and Ed25519
keys.
** libgnutls: Introduced the %VERIFY_ALLOW_BROKEN and %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_WITH_SHA1
priority string options. These allows enabling all broken and SHA1-based signature
algorithms in certificate verification, respectively.
** libgnutls: 3DES-CBC is no longer included in the default priorities
list. It has to be explicitly enabled, e.g., with a string like
"NORMAL:+3DES-CBC".
** libgnutls: SHA1 was marked as insecure for signing certificates. Verification
of certificates signed with SHA1 is now considered insecure and will
fail, unless flags intended to enable broken algorithms are set. Other uses
of SHA1 are still allowed. This can be reverted on compile time with the configure
flag --enable-sha1-support.
** libgnutls: RIPEMD160 was marked as insecure for certificate signatures. Verification
of certificates signed with RIPEMD160 hash algorithm is now considered insecure and
will fail, unless flags intended to enable broken algorithms are set.
** libgnutls: No longer enable SECP192R1 and SECP224R1 by default on TLS handshakes.
These curves were rarely used for that purpose, provide no advantage over
x25519 and were deprecated by TLS 1.3.
** libgnutls: Removed support for DEFLATE, or any other compression method.
** libgnutls: OpenPGP authentication was removed; the resulting library is ABI
compatible, with the openpgp related functions being stubs that fail
on invocation.
** libgnutls: Removed support for libidn (i.e., IDNA2003); gnutls can now be compiled
only with libidn2 which provides IDNA2008.
** certtool: The option '--load-ca-certificate' can now accept PKCS#11
URLs in addition to files.
** certtool: The option '--load-crl' can now be used when generating PKCS#12
files (i.e., in conjunction with '--to-p12' option).
** certtool: Keys with provable RSA and DSA parameters are now only read and
exported from PKCS#8 form, following draft-mavrogiannopoulos-pkcs8-validated-parameters-00.txt.
This removes support for the previous a non-standard key format.
** certtool: Added support for generating, printing and handling RSA-PSS and
Ed25519 keys and certificates.
** certtool: the parameters --rsa, --dsa and --ecdsa to --generate-privkey are now
deprecated, replaced by the --key-type option.
** p11tool: The --generate-rsa, --generate-ecc and --generate-dsa options were
replaced by the --generate-privkey option.
** psktool: Generate 256-bit keys by default.
** gnutls-server: Increase request buffer size to 16kb, and added the --alpn and
--alpn-fatal options, allowing testing of ALPN negotiation.

* Version 3.5.7 (released 2016-12-8)
** libgnutls: Include CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites in the SECURE128
and SECURE256 priority strings.
** libgnutls: Require libtasn1 4.9; this ensures gnutls will correctly
operate with OIDs which have elements that exceed 2^32.
** libgnutls: The DN decoding functions output the traditional DN format
rather than the strict RFC4514 compliant textual DN. This reverts the
3.5.6 introduced change, and allows applications which depended on the
previous format to continue to function. Introduced new functions which
output the strict format by default, and can revert to the old one using
a flag.
** libgnutls: Improved TPM key handling. Check authorization requirements
prior to using a key and fix issue on loop for PIN input. Patches by
James Bottomley.
** libgnutls: In all functions accepting UTF-8 passwords, ensure that
passwords are normalized according to RFC7613. When invalid UTF-8
passwords are detected, they are only tolerated for decryption.
This introduces a libunistring dependency on GnuTLS. A version of
libunistring is included in the library for the platforms that do
not ship it; it can be used with the '--with-included-unistring'
option to configure script.
** libgnutls: When setting a subject alternative name in a certificate
which is in UTF-8 format, it will transparently be converted to IDNA form
prior to storing.
** libgnutls: GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_ONELINE flag on gnutls_x509_crt_print()
will print the SHA256 key-ID instead of a certificate fingerprint.
** libgnutls: enhance the PKCS#7 verification capabilities. In the case
signers that are not discoverable using the trust list or input, use
the stored list as pool to generate a trusted chain to the signer.
** libgnutls: Improved MTU calculation precision for the CBC ciphersuites
under DTLS.
** libgnutls: [added missing news entry since 3.5.0]
No longer tolerate certificate key usage violations for
TLS signature verification, and decryption. That is GnuTLS will fail
to connect to servers which incorrectly use a restricted to signing certificate
for decryption, or vice-versa. This reverts the lax behavior introduced
in 3.1.0, due to several such broken servers being available. The %COMPAT
priority keyword can be used to work-around connecting on these servers.
** certtool: When exporting a CRQ in DER format ensure no text data are
intermixed. Patch by Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov.
** certtool: Include the SHA-256 variant of key ID in --certificate-info
options.
** p11tool: Introduced the --initialize-pin and --initialize-so-pin
options.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_utf8_password_normalize: Added
gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_responder2: Added
gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_dn3: Added
gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn3: Added
gnutls_x509_rdn_get2: Added
gnutls_x509_dn_get_str2: Added
gnutls_x509_crl_get_issuer_dn3: Added
gnutls_x509_crq_get_dn3: Added
* Version 3.5.6 (released 2016-11-04)
** libgnutls: Enhanced the PKCS#7 parser to allow decoding old
(pre-rfc5652) structures with arbitrary encapsulated content.
** libgnutls: Introduced a function group to set known DH parameters
using groups from RFC7919.
** libgnutls: Added more strict RFC4514 textual DN encoding and decoding.
Now the generated textual DN is in reverse order according to RFC4514,
and functions which generate a DN from strings such gnutls_x509_crt_set_*dn()
set the expected DN (reverse of the provided string).
** libgnutls: Introduced time and constraints checks in the end certificate
in the gnutls_x509_crt_verify_data2() and gnutls_pkcs7_verify_direct()
functions.
** libgnutls: Set limits on the maximum number of alerts handled. That is,
applications using gnutls could be tricked into an busy loop if the
peer sends continuously alert messages. Applications which set a maximum
handshake time (via gnutls_handshake_set_timeout) will eventually recover
but others may remain in a busy loops indefinitely. This is related but
not identical to CVE-2016-8610, due to the difference in alert handling
of the libraries (gnutls delegates that handling to applications).
** libgnutls: Reverted the change which made the gnutls_certificate_set_*key*
functions return an index (introduced in 3.5.5), to avoid affecting programs
which explicitly check success of the function as equality to zero. In order
for these functions to return an index an explicit call to gnutls_certificate_set_flags
with the GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_API_V2 flag is now required.
** libgnutls: Reverted the behavior of sending a status request extension even
without a response (introduced in 3.5.5). That is, we no longer reply to a
client's hello with a status request, with a status request extension. Although
that behavior is legal, it creates incompatibility issues with releases in
the gnutls 3.3.x branch.
** libgnutls: Delayed the initialization of the random generator at
the first call of gnutls_rnd(). This allows applications to load
on systems which getrandom() would block, without blocking until
real random data are needed.
** certtool: --get-dh-params will output parameters from the RFC7919
groups.
** p11tool: improvements in --initialize option.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_API_V2: Added
GNUTLS_NO_TICKETS: Added
gnutls_pkcs7_get_embedded_data_oid: Added
gnutls_anon_set_server_known_dh_params: Added
gnutls_certificate_set_known_dh_params: Added
gnutls_psk_set_server_known_dh_params: Added
gnutls_x509_crt_check_key_purpose: Added
* Version 3.5.5 (released 2016-10-09)
** libgnutls: enhanced gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_file()
to allow importing multiple OCSP request files, one for each chain
provided.
** libgnutls: The gnutls_certificate_set_key* functions return an
index of the added chain. That index can be used either with
gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_file(), or with
gnutls_certificate_get_crt_raw() and friends.
** libgnutls: Added SHA*, AES-GCM, AES-CCM and AES-CBC optimized implementations
for the aarch64 architecture. Uses Andy Polyakov's assembly code.
** libgnutls: Ensure proper cleanups on gnutls_certificate_set_*key()
failures due to key mismatch. This prevents leaks or double freeing
on such failures.
** libgnutls: Increased the maximum size of the handshake message hash.
This will allow the library to cope better with larger packets, as
the ones offered by current TLS 1.3 drafts.
** libgnutls: Allow to use client certificates despite them containing
disallowed algorithms for a session. That allows for example a client
to use DSA-SHA1 due to his old DSA certificate, without requiring him
to enable DSA-SHA1 (and thus make it acceptable for the server's certificate).
** libgnutls: Reverted AESNI code on x86 to earlier version as the
latest version was creating position depending code. Added checks
in the CI to detect position depending code early.
** guile: Update code to the I/O port API of Guile >= 2.1.4
This makes sure the GnuTLS bindings will work with the forthcoming 2.2
stable series of Guile, of which 2.1 is a preview.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_function2: Added
gnutls_session_ext_register: Added
gnutls_session_supplemental_register: Added
GNUTLS_E_PK_INVALID_PUBKEY: Added
GNUTLS_E_PK_INVALID_PRIVKEY: Added
* Version 3.5.4 (released 2016-09-08)
** libgnutls: Corrected the comparison of the serial size in OCSP response.
Previously the OCSP certificate check wouldn't verify the serial length
and could succeed in cases it shouldn't (GNUTLS-SA-2016-3).
Reported by Stefan Buehler.
** libgnutls: Added support for IP name constraints. Patch by Martin Ukrop.
** libgnutls: Added support of PKCS#8 file decryption using DES-CBC-MD5. This
is added to allow decryption of PKCS #8 private keys from openssl prior to 1.1.0.
** libgnutls: Added support for decrypting PKCS#8 files which use HMAC-SHA256
as PRF. This allow decrypting PKCS #8 private keys generated with openssl 1.1.0.
** libgnutls: Added support for internationalized passwords in PKCS#12 files.
Previous versions would only encrypt or decrypt using passwords from the ASCII
set.
** libgnutls: Addressed issue with PKCS#11 signature generation on ECDSA
keys. The signature is now written as unsigned integers into the DSASignatureValue
structure. Previously signed integers could be written depending on what
the underlying module would produce. Addresses #122.
** gnutls-cli: Fixed starttls regression from 3.5.3.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_E_MALFORMED_CIDR: Added
gnutls_x509_cidr_to_rfc5280: Added
gnutls_oid_to_mac: Added
* Version 3.5.3 (released 2016-08-09)
** libgnutls: Added support for TCP fast open (RFC7413), allowing
to reduce by one round-trip the handshake process. Based on proposal and
patch by Tim Ruehsen.
** libgnutls: Adopted a simpler with less memory requirements DTLS sliding
window implementation. Based on Fridolin Pokorny's implementation for
AF_KTLS.
** libgnutls: Use getrandom where available via the syscall interface.
This works around an issue of not-using getrandom even if it exists
since glibc doesn't declare such function.
** libgnutls: Fixed DNS name constraints checking in the case of empty
intersection of domain names in the chain. Report and fix by Martin Ukrop.
** libgnutls: Fixed name constraints checking in the case of chains
where the higher level certificates contained different types of
constraints than the ones present in the lower intermediate CAs.
Report and fix by Martin Ukrop.
** libgnutls: Dropped support for the EGD random generator.
** libgnutls: Allow the decoding of raw elements (starting with #)
in RFC4514 DN string decoding.
** libgnutls: Fixes in gnutls_x509_crt_list_import2, which was
ignoring flags if all certificates in the list fit within the
initially allocated memory. Patch by Tim Kosse.
** libgnutls: Corrected issue which made gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crt()
to return invalid pointers when returned more than a single certificate.
Report and fix by Stefan Sørensen.
** libgnutls: Fix gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse to always extract the complete chain,
even when the extra_certs was non-null. Report and fix by Stefan Sørensen.
** certtool: Added the "add_extension" and "add_critical_extension"
template options. This allows specifying arbitrary extensions into
certificates and certificate requests.
** gnutls-cli: Added the --fastopen option.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_E_UNAVAILABLE_DURING_HANDSHAKE: Added
gnutls_x509_crq_set_extension_by_oid: Added

* Version 3.5.2 (released 2016-07-06)
** libgnutls: Address issue when utilizing the p11-kit trust store
for certificate verification (GNUTLS-SA-2016-2).
** libgnutls: Fixed DTLS handshake packet reconstruction. Reported by
Guillaume Roguez.
** libgnutls: Fixed issues with PKCS#11 reading of sensitive objects
from SafeNet Network HSM. Reported by Anthony Alba in #108.
** libgnutls: Corrected the writing of PKCS#11 CKA_SERIAL_NUMBER. Report
and fix by Stanislav Židek.
** libgnutls: Added AES-GCM optimizations using the AVX and MOVBE
instructions. Uses Andy Polyakov's assembly code.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.5.1 (released 2016-06-14)
** libgnutls: The SSL 3.0 protocol support can completely be removed
using a compile time option. The configure option is --disable-ssl3-support.
** libgnutls: The SSL 2.0 client hello support can completely be removed
using a compile time option. The configure option is --disable-ssl2-support.
** libgnutls: Added support for OCSP Must staple PKIX extension. That is,
implemented the RFC7633 TLSFeature for OCSP status request extension.
Feature implemented by Tim Kosse.
** libgnutls: More strict OCSP staple verification. That is, no longer
ignore invalid or too old OCSP staples. The previous behavior was
to rely on application use gnutls_ocsp_status_request_is_checked(),
while the new behavior is to include OCSP verification by default
and set the GNUTLS_CERT_INVALID_OCSP_STATUS verification flag on error.
** libgnutls: Treat CA certificates with the "Server Gated Cryptography" key
purpose OIDs equivalent to having the GNUTLS_KP_TLS_WWW_SERVER OID. This
improves interoperability with several old intermediate CA certificates
carrying these legacy OIDs.
** libgnutls: Re-read the system wide priority file when needed. Patch by
Daniel P. Berrange.
** libgnutls: Allow for fallback in system-specific initial keywords
(prefixed with '@'). That allows to specify a keyword such as
"@KEYWORD1,KEYWORD2" which will use the first available of these
two keywords. Patch by Daniel P. Berrange.
** libgnutls: The SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable can be used to log
session keys. These session keys are compatible with the NSS Key Log
Format and can be used to decrypt the session for debugging using
wireshark.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_CERT_INVALID_OCSP_STATUS: Added
gnutls_x509_crt_set_crq_extension_by_oid: Added
gnutls_x509_ext_import_tlsfeatures: Added
gnutls_x509_ext_export_tlsfeatures: Added

gnutls_ext_get_name: Added
* Version 3.5.0 (released 2016-05-09)
** libgnutls: Added SHA3 based signing algorithms for DSA, RSA and ECDSA,
based on https://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/crypto_apps_infra/csor/algorithms.html
** libgnutls: Added support for curve X25519 (RFC 7748, draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-07).
This curve is disabled by default as it is still on specification status. It
can be enabled using the priority string modifier +CURVE-X25519.
** libgnutls: Added support for TLS false start (draft-ietf-tls-falsestart-01)
by introducing gnutls_init() flag GNUTLS_ENABLE_FALSE_START (#73).
** libgnutls: Added new APIs to access the FIPS186-4 (Shawe-Taylor based) provable
RSA and DSA parameter generation from a seed.
** libgnutls: The CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuite is enabled by default. This
cipher is prioritized after AES-GCM.
** libgnutls: On a rehandshake ensure that the certificate of the peer or
its username remains the same as in previous handshakes. That is to protect
applications which do not check user credentials on rehandshakes. The
threat to address depends on the application protocol. Primarily it
protects against applications which authenticate the peer initially and
perform accounting using the session's information, from being misled
by a rehandshake which switches the peer's identity. Applications can
disable this protection by using the %GNUTLS_ALLOW_ID_CHANGE flag in
gnutls_init().
** libgnutls: No longer tolerate certificate key usage violations for
TLS signature verification, and decryption. That is GnuTLS will fail
to connect to servers which incorrectly use a restricted to signing certificate
for decryption, or vice-versa. This reverts the lax behavior introduced
in 3.1.0, due to several such broken servers being available. The %COMPAT
priority keyword can be used to work-around connecting on these servers.
** libgnutls: Be strict in TLS extension decoding. That is, do not tolerate
parsing errors in the extensions field and treat it as a typical Hello
message structure. Reported by Hubert Kario (#40).
** libgnutls: Old and unsupported version numbers in client hellos are
rejected with a "protocol_version" alert message. Reported by Hubert
Kario (#42).
** libgnutls: Lifted the limitation of calling the gnutls_session_get_data*()
functions, only on non-resumed sessions. This brings the API in par with
its usage (#79).
** libgnutls: Follow RFC5280 strictly in name constraints computation. The
permitted subtrees is intersected with any previous values. Report and
patch by Daiki Ueno.
** libgnutls: Enforce the RFC 7627 (extended master secret) requirements on
session resumption. Reported by Hubert Kario (#69).
** libgnutls: Consider the max-record TLS extension even when under DTLS.
Reported by Peter Dettman (#61).
** libgnutls: Replaced writev() system call with sendmsg().
** libgnutls: Replaced select() system call with poll() on POSIX systems.
** libgnutls: Preload the system priority file on library load. This allows
applications that chroot() to also use the system priorities.
** libgnutls: Applications are allowed to override the built-in key and
certificate URLs.
** libgnutls: The gnutls.h header marks constant and pure functions explicitly.
** certtool: Added the ability to sign certificates using SHA3.
** certtool: Added the --provable and --verify-allow-broken options.
** gnutls-cli: The --dane option will cause verification failure if gnutls is not
compiled with DANE support.
** crywrap: The tool was unbundled from gnutls' distribution. It can be found at
https://github.com/nmav/crywrap
** guile: .go files are now built and installed
** guile: Fix compatibility issue of the test suite with Guile 2.1
** guile: When --with-guile-site-dir is passed, modules are installed in a
versioned directory, typically $(datadir)/guile/site/2.0
** guile: Tests no longer leave zombie processes behind

* Version 3.4.3 (released 2015-07-12)
** libgnutls: Follow closely RFC5280 recommendations and use UTCTime for
dates prior to 2050.
** libgnutls: Force 16-byte alignment to all input to ciphers (previously it
was done only when cryptodev was enabled).
** libgnutls: Removed support for pthread_atfork() as it has undefined
semantics when used with dlopen(), and may lead to a crash.
** libgnutls: corrected failure when importing plain files
with gnutls_x509_privkey_import2(), and a password was provided.
** libgnutls: Don't reject certificates if a CA has the URI or IP address
name constraints, and the end certificate doesn't have an IP address
name or a URI set.
** libgnutls: set and read the hint in DHE-PSK and ECDHE-PSK ciphersuites.
** p11tool: Added --list-token-urls option, and print the token module name
in list-tokens.
** API and ABI modifications:

* Version 3.4.2 (released 2015-06-16)
** libgnutls: DTLS blocking API is more robust against infinite blocking,
and will notify of more possible timeouts.
** libgnutls: corrected regression with Camellia-256-GCM cipher. Reported
by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard.
** libgnutls: Introduced the GNUTLS_NO_SIGNAL flag to gnutls_init(). That
allows to disable SIGPIPE for writes done within gnutls.
** libgnutls: Enhanced the PKCS #7 API to allow signing and verification
of structures. API moved to gnutls/pkcs7.h header.
** certtool: Added options to generate PKCS #7 bundles and signed
structures.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_dn_get_str: Added
gnutls_pkcs11_get_raw_issuer_by_subject_key_id: Added

* Version 3.4.1 (released 2015-05-03)
** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_get_ours: will return the certificate even
if a callback was used to send it.
** libgnutls: Check for invalid length in the X.509 version field. Without
the check certificates with invalid length would be detected as having an
arbitrary version. Reported by Hanno Böck.
** libgnutls: Handle DNS name constraints with a leading dot. Patch by
Fotis Loukos.
** libgnutls: Updated system-keys support for windows to compile in more
versions of mingw. Patch by Tim Kosse.
** libgnutls: Fix for MD5 downgrade in TLS 1.2 signatures. Reported by
Karthikeyan Bhargavan [GNUTLS-SA-2015-2].
** libgnutls: Reverted: The gnutls_handshake() process will enforce a timeout
by default. That caused issues with non-blocking programs.
** certtool: It can generate SHA256 key IDs.
** gnutls-cli: fixed crash in --benchmark-ciphers. Reported by James Cloos.
** configure: re-enabled the --enable-local-libopts flag
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crt_get_pk_ecc_raw: Added
* Version 3.4.0 (released 2015-04-08)
** libgnutls: Added support for AES-CCM and AES-CCM-8 (RFC6655 and RFC7251)
ciphersuites. The former are enabled by default, the latter need to be
explicitly enabled, since they reduce the overall security level.
** libgnutls: Added support for Chacha20-Poly1305 ciphersuites following
draft-mavrogiannopoulos-chacha-tls-05 and draft-irtf-cfrg-chacha20-poly1305-10.
That is currently provided as technology preview and is not enabled by
default, since there are no assigned ciphersuite points by IETF and there
is no guarantee of compatibility between draft versions. The ciphersuite
priority string to enable it is "+CHACHA20-POLY1305".
** libgnutls: Added support for encrypt-then-authenticate in CBC
ciphersuites (RFC7366 -taking into account its errata text). This is
enabled by default and can be disabled using the %NO_ETM priority
string.
** libgnutls: Added support for the extended master secret
(triple-handshake fix) following draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-02.
** libgnutls: Added a new simple and hard to misuse AEAD API (crypto.h).
** libgnutls: SSL 3.0 is no longer included in the default priorities
list. It has to be explicitly enabled, e.g., with a string like
"NORMAL:+VERS-SSL3.0".
** libgnutls: ARCFOUR (RC4) is no longer included in the default priorities
list. It has to be explicitly enabled, e.g., with a string like
"NORMAL:+ARCFOUR-128".
** libgnutls: DSA signatures and DHE-DSS are no longer included in the
default priorities list. They have to be explicitly enabled, e.g., with
a string like "NORMAL:+DHE-DSS:+SIGN-DSA-SHA256:+SIGN-DSA-SHA1". The
DSA ciphersuites were dropped because they had no deployment at all
on the internet, to justify their inclusion.
** libgnutls: The priority string EXPORT was completely removed. The string
was already defunc as support for the EXPORT ciphersuites was removed in
GnuTLS 3.2.0.
** libgnutls: Added API to utilize system specific private keys in
"gnutls/system-keys.h". It is currently provided as technology preview
and is restricted to windows CNG keys.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname() and friends will use
RFC6125 comparison of hostnames. That introduces a dependency on libidn.
** libgnutls: Depend on p11-kit 0.23.1 to comply with the final
PKCS #11 URLs draft (draft-pechanec-pkcs11uri-21).
** libgnutls: Depend on nettle 3.1.
** libgnutls: Use getrandom() or getentropy() when available. That
avoids the complexity of file descriptor handling and issues with
applications closing all open file descriptors on startup.
** libgnutls: Use pthread_atfork() to detect fork when available.
** libgnutls: If a key purpose (extended key usage) is specified for verification,
it is applied into intermediate certificates. The verification result
GNUTLS_CERT_PURPOSE_MISMATCH is also introduced.
** libgnutls: When gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file2() is used in
combination with PKCS #11, or TPM URLs, it will utilize the provided
password as PIN if required. That removes the requirement for the
application to set a callback for PINs in that case.
** libgnutls: priority strings VERS-TLS-ALL and VERS-DTLS-ALL are
restricted to the corresponding protocols only, and the VERS-ALL
string is introduced to catch all possible protocols.
** libgnutls: Added helper functions to obtain information on PKCS #8
structures.
** libgnutls: Certificate chains which are provided to gnutls_certificate_credentials_t
will automatically be sorted instead of failing with GNUTLS_E_CERTIFICATE_LIST_UNSORTED.
** libgnutls: Added functions to export and set the record state. That
allows for gnutls_record_send() and recv() to be offloaded (to kernel,
hardware or any other subsystem).
** libgnutls: Added the ability to register application specific URL
types, which express certificates and keys using gnutls_register_custom_url().
** libgnutls: Added API to override existing ciphers, digests and MACs, e.g.,
to override AES-GCM using a system-specific accelerator. That is, (crypto.h)
gnutls_crypto_register_cipher(), gnutls_crypto_register_aead_cipher(),
gnutls_crypto_register_mac(), and gnutls_crypto_register_digest().
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_ext_register() to register custom extensions.
Contributed by Thierry Quemerais.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_supplemental_register() to register custom
supplemental data handshake messages. Contributed by Thierry Quemerais.
** libgnutls-openssl: it is no longer built by default.
** certtool: Added --p8-info option, which will print PKCS #8 information
even if the password is not available.
** certtool: --key-info option will print PKCS #8 encryption information
when available.
** certtool: Added the --key-id and --fingerprint options.
** certtool: Added the --verify-hostname, --verify-email and --verify-purpose
options to be used in certificate chain verification, to simulate verification
for specific hostname and key purpose (extended key usage).
** certtool: --p12-info option will print PKCS #12 MAC and cipher information
when available.
** certtool: it will print the A-label (ACE) names in addition to UTF-8.
** p11tool: added options --set-id and --set-label.
** gnutls-cli: added options --priority-list and --save-cert.
** guile: Deprecated priority API has been removed. The old priority API,
which had been deprecated for some time, is now gone; use 'set-session-priorities!'
instead.
** guile: Remove RSA parameters and related procedures. This API had been
deprecated.
** guile: Fix compilation on MinGW. Previously only the static version of the
'guile-gnutls-v-2' library would be built, preventing dynamic loading from Guile.

* Version 3.3.6 (released 2014-07-23)
** libgnutls: Use inet_ntop to print IP addresses when available
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname and friends will also check
IP addresses, and match documented behavior. Reported by David Woodhouse.
** libgnutls: DSA key generation in FIPS140-2 mode doesn't allow 1024
bit parameters.
** libgnutls: fixed issue in gnutls_pkcs11_reinit() which prevented tokens
being usable after a reinitialization.
** libgnutls: fixed PKCS #11 private key operations after a fork.
** libgnutls: fixed PKCS #11 ECDSA key generation.
** libgnutls: The GNUTLS_CPUID_OVERRIDE environment variable can be used to
explicitly enable/disable the use of certain CPU capabilities. Note that CPU
detection cannot be overridden, i.e., VIA options cannot be enabled on an Intel
CPU. The currently available options are:
0x1: Disable all run-time detected optimizations
0x2: Enable AES-NI
0x4: Enable SSSE3
0x8: Enable PCLMUL
0x100000: Enable VIA padlock
0x200000: Enable VIA PHE
0x400000: Enable VIA PHE SHA512
** libdane: added dane_query_to_raw_tlsa(); patch by Simon Arlott.
** p11tool: use GNUTLS_SO_PIN to read the security officer's PIN if set.
** p11tool: ask for label when one isn't provided.
** p11tool: added --batch parameter to disable any interactivity.
** p11tool: will not implicitly enable so-login for certain types of
objects. That avoids issues with tokens that require different login
types.
** certtool/p11tool: Added the --curve parameter which allows to explicitly
specify the curve to use.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_dir: Added
gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_dir: Added
* Version 3.3.5 (released 2014-06-26)
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_record_recv_packet() and gnutls_packet_deinit().
These functions provide a variant of gnutls_record_recv() that avoids
the final memcpy of data.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crl_iter_crt_serial() was added as a
faster variant of gnutls_x509_crl_get_crt_serial() when coping with
very large structures.
** libgnutls: When the decoding of a printable DN element fails, then treat
it as unknown and print its hex value rather than failing. That works around
an issue in a TURKTRST root certificate which improperly encodes the
X520countryName element.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_file() will return the number
of certificates present in a PKCS #11 token when loading it.
** libgnutls: Allow the post client hello callback to put the handshake on
hold, by returning GNUTLS_E_AGAIN or GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED.
** certtool: option --to-p12 will now consider --load-ca-certificate
** certtol: Added option to specify the PKCS #12 friendly name on command
line.
** p11tool: Allow marking a certificate copied to a token as a CA.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAG_MARK_CA: Added
gnutls_x509_crl_iter_deinit: Added
gnutls_x509_crl_iter_crt_serial: Added
gnutls_record_recv_packet: Added
gnutls_packet_deinit: Added
gnutls_packet_get: Added
* Version 3.3.4 (released 2014-05-31)
** libgnutls: Updated Andy Polyakov's assembly code. That prevents a
crash on certain CPUs.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.3.3 (released 2014-05-30)
** libgnutls: Eliminated memory corruption issue in Server Hello parsing.
Issue reported by Joonas Kuorilehto of Codenomicon.
** libgnutls: gnutls_global_set_mutex() was modified to operate with the
new initialization process.
** libgnutls: Increased the maximum certificate size buffer
in the PKCS #11 subsystem.
** libgnutls: Check the return code of getpwuid_r() instead of relying
on the result value. That avoids issue in certain systems, when using
tofu authentication and the home path cannot be determined. Issue reported
by Viktor Dukhovni.
** libgnutls-dane: Improved dane_verify_session_crt(), which now attempts to
create a full chain. This addresses points from https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?108552
** gnutls-cli: --dane will only check the end certificate if PKIX validation
has been disabled.
** gnutls-cli: --benchmark-soft-ciphers has been removed. That option cannot
be emulated with the implicit initialization of gnutls.
** certtool: Allow multiple organizations and organizational unit names to
be specified in a template.
** certtool: Warn when invalid configuration options are set to a template.
** ocsptool: Include path in ocsp request. This resolves #108582
(https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108582), reported by Matt McCutchen.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_credentials_get: Added
* Version 3.3.2 (released 2014-05-06)
** libgnutls: Added the 'very weak' certificate verification profile
that corresponds to 64-bit security level.
** libgnutls: Corrected file descriptor leak on random generator
initialization.
** libgnutls: Corrected file descriptor leak on PSK password file
reading. Issue identified using the Codenomicon TLS test suite.
** libgnutls: Avoid deinitialization if initialization has failed.
** libgnutls: null-terminate othername alternative names.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_trust_list_get_issuer() will operate correctly
on a PKCS #11 trust list.
** libgnutls: Several small bug fixes identified using valgrind and
the Codenomicon TLS test suite.
** libgnutls-dane: Accept a certificate using DANE if there is at least one
entry that matches the certificate. Patch by simon [at] arlott.org.
** libgnutls-guile: Fixed compilation issue.
** certtool: Allow exporting a CRL on DER format.
** certtool: The ECDSA keys generated by default use the SECP256R1 curve
which is supported more widely than the previously used SECP224R1.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_PROFILE_VERY_WEAK: Added
* Version 3.3.1 (released 2014-04-19)
** libgnutls: Enforce more strict checks to heartbeat messages
concerning padding and payload. Suggested by Peter Dettman.
** libgnutls: Allow decoding PKCS #8 files with ECC parameters
from openssl.
** libgnutls: Several small bug fixes found by coverity.
** libgnutls: The conditionally available self-test functions
were moved to self-test.h.
** libgnutls: Fixed issue with the check of incoming data when two
different recv and send pointers have been specified. Reported and
investigated by JMRecio.
** libgnutls: Fixed issue in the RSA-PSK key exchange, which would
result to illegal memory access if a server hint was provided. Reported
by André Klitzing.
** libgnutls: Fixed client memory leak in the PSK key exchange, if a
server hint was provided.
** libgnutls: Corrected the *get_*_othername_oid() functions.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.3.0 (released 2014-04-10)
** libgnutls: The initialization of the library was moved to a
constructor. That is, gnutls_global_init() is no longer required
unless linking with a static library or a system that does not
support library constructors.
** libgnutls: static libraries are not built by default.
** libgnutls: PKCS #11 initialization is delayed to first usage.
That avoids long delays in gnutls initialization due to broken PKCS #11
modules.
** libgnutls: The PKCS #11 subsystem is re-initialized "automatically"
on the first PKCS #11 API call after a fork.
** libgnutls: certificate verification profiles were introduced
that can be specified as flags to verification functions. They
are enumerations in gnutls_certificate_verification_profiles_t
and can be converted to flags for use in a verification function
using GNUTLS_PROFILE_TO_VFLAGS().
** libgnutls: Added the ability to read system-specific initial
keywords, if they are prefixed with '@'. That allows a compile-time
specified configuration file to be used to read pre-configured priority
strings from. That can be used to impose system specific policies.
** libgnutls: Increased the default security level of priority
strings (NORMAL and PFS strings require at minimum a 1008 DH prime),
and set a verification profile by default. The LEGACY keyword is
introduced to set the old defaults.
** libgnutls: Added support for the name constraints PKIX extension.
Currently only DNS names and e-mails are supported (no URIs, IPs
or DNs).
** libgnutls: Security parameter SEC_PARAM_NORMAL was renamed to
SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM to avoid confusion with the priority string NORMAL.
** libgnutls: Added new API in x509-ext.h to handle X.509 extensions.
This API handles the X.509 extensions in isolation, allowing to parse
similarly formatted extensions stored in other structures.
** libgnutls: When generating DSA keys the macro GNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS
can be used to specify a particular subgroup as the number of bits in
gnutls_privkey_generate; e.g., GNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS(2048, 256).
** libgnutls: DH parameter generation is now delegated to nettle.
That unfortunately has the side-effect that DH parameters longer than
3072 bits, cannot be generated (not without a nettle update).
** libgnutls: Separated nonce RNG from the main RNG. The nonce
random number generator is based on salsa20/12.
** libgnutls: The buffer alignment provided to crypto backend is
enforced to be 16-byte aligned, when compiled with cryptodev
support. That allows certain cryptodev drivers to operate more
efficiently.
** libgnutls: Return error when a public/private key pair that doesn't
match is set into a credentials structure.
** libgnutls: Depend on p11-kit 0.20.0 or later.
** libgnutls: The new padding (%NEW_PADDING) experimental TLS extension has
been removed. It was not approved by IETF.
** libgnutls: The experimental xssl library is removed from the gnutls
distribution.
** libgnutls: Reduced the number of gnulib modules used in the main library.
** libgnutls: Added priority string %DISABLE_WILDCARDS.
** libgnutls: Added the more extensible verification function
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers(), that allows checking, in addition
to a peer's DNS hostname, for the key purpose of the end certificate
(via PKIX extended key usage).
** certtool: Timestamps for serial numbers were increased to 8 bytes,
and in batch mode to 12 (appended with 4 random bytes).
** certtool: When no CRL number is provided (or value set to -1), then
a time-based number will be used, similarly to the serial generation
number in certificates.
** certtool: Print the SHA256 fingerprint of a certificate in addition
to SHA1.
** libgnutls: Added --enable-fips140-mode configuration option (unsupported).
That option enables (when running on FIPS140-enabled system):
o RSA, DSA and DH key generation as in FIPS-186-4 (using provable primes)
o The DRBG-CTR-AES256 deterministic random generator from SP800-90A.
o Self-tests on initialization on ciphers/MACs, public key algorithms
and the random generator.
o HMAC-SHA256 verification of the library on load.
o MD5 is included for TLS purposes but cannot be used by the high level
hashing functions.
o All ciphers except AES are disabled.
o All MACs and hashes except GCM and SHA are disabled (e.g., HMAC-MD5).
o All keys (temporal and long term) are zeroized after use.
o Security levels are adjusted to the FIPS140-2 recommendations (rather
than ECRYPT).

** libgnutls: Fixed issue in gnutls_x509_privkey_import2() which didn't return
GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED in all cases, and affect certtool operation
with encrypted keys. Reported by Yan Fiz.
** libgnutls: The minimum DH bits accepted by priorities NORMAL and
PERFORMANCE was set to previous defaults 727 bits. Reported by Diego
Elio Petteno.
** libgnutls: Corrected issue which prevented gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash()

** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 3.1.7 (released 2013-02-04)
** certtool: Added option "dn" which allows to directly set the DN
in a template from an RFC4514 string.
** danetool: Added options: --dlv and --insecure. Suggested by Paul Wouters.
** libgnutls-xssl: Added a new library to simplify GnuTLS usage.

it is now explicitly done on every session deinit.
** libgnutls: Simplified the DTLS sliding window implementation.
** libgnutls: The minimum DH bits accepted by a client are now set
by the specified priority string. The current values correspond to the
previous defaults (727 bits), except for the SECURE128 and SECURE192
strings which increase the minimum to 1248 and 1776 respectively.
** libgnutls: Added the gnutls_record_cork() and uncork API to enable
buffering in sending application data.
** libgnutls: Removed default random padding, and added a length-hiding interface
instead. Both the server and the client must support this extension. Whether
length-hiding can be used on a given session can be checked using
gnutls_record_can_use_length_hiding(). Contributed by Alfredo Pironti.
** libgnutls: Added the experimental %NEW_PADDING priority string. It enables
a new padding mechanism in TLS allowing arbitrary padding in TLS records
in all ciphersuites, which makes length-hiding more efficient and solves
the issues with timing attacks on CBC ciphersuites.
** libgnutls: Corrected gnutls_cipher_decrypt2() when used with AEAD
ciphers (i.e., AES-GCM). Reported by William McGovern.

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

** libgnutls: Added support for the OCSP Certificate Status
extension.
** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() will use the OCSP
certificate status extension in verification.
** libgnutls: Bug fixes in gnutls_x509_privkey_import_openssl().
** libgnutls: Increased maximum password length in the PKCS #12
functions.
** libgnutls: Fixed the receipt of session tickets during session resumption.
Reported by danblack at https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108146
** libgnutls: Added functions to export structures in an allocated buffer.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_ocsp_resp_check_crt() to check whether the OCSP
response corresponds to the given certificate.
** libgnutls: In client side gnutls_init() enables the session ticket and
OCSP certificate status request extensions by default. The flag
GNUTLS_NO_EXTENSIONS can be used to prevent that.
** libgnutls: Several updates in the OpenPGP code. The generating code
is fully RFC6091 compliant and RFC5081 support is only supported in client
mode.
** libgnutls-dane: Added. It is a library to provide DANE with DNSSEC
certificate verification.

* Version 3.1.2 (released 2012-09-26)
** libgnutls: Fixed bug in gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_system_trust()
and gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_mem() that prevented the loading
of certificates in the windows platform.
** libgnutls: Corrected bug in OpenPGP subpacket encoding.
** libgnutls: Added support for DTLS/TLS heartbeats by Olga Smolenchuk.
(the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
** libgnutls: Added X.509 certificate verification flag
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_UNSORTED_CHAIN. This flag allows the verification
of unsorted certificate chains and is enabled by default for
TLS certificate verification (if gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags()
does not override it).
** libgnutls: Prints warning on certificates that contain keys of
an insecure level. If the %COMPAT priority flag is not specified
the TLS connection fails.
** libgnutls: Correctly restore gnutls_record_recv() in DTLS mode
if interrupted during the retrasmition of handshake data.
** libgnutls: Better mingw32 support (patch by LRN).
** libgnutls: The %COMPAT keyword, if specified, will tolerate
key usage violation errors (they are far too common to ignore).
** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_STATELESS_COMPRESSION flag to gnutls_init(),
which provides a tool to counter compression-related attacks where
parts of the data are controlled by the attacker _and_ are placed in
separate records (use with care - do not use compression if not sure).
** libgnutls: Depends on libtasn1 2.14 or later.
** certtool: Prints the number of bits of the public key algorithm
parameter in a private key.
** API and ABI modifications:

* Version 3.1.1 (released 2012-09-02)
** gnutls-serv: Listens on IPv6. Patch by Bernhard R. Link.
** certtool: Changes in password handling of certtool.
Ask password when required and only if the '--password' option is not
given. If the '--password' option is given during key generation then
assume the PKCS #8 file format, instead of ignoring the password.
** tpmtool: No longer asks for key password in registered keys.
** libgnutls: Elliptic curve code was optimized by Ilya Tumaykin.
wmNAF is now used for point multiplication and other optimizations.
(the major part of the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
** libgnutls: The default pull_timeout_function only uses select
instead of a combination of select() and recv() to prevent issues
when used in stream sockets in some systems.
** libgnutls: Be tolerant in ECDSA signature violations (e.g. using
SHA256 with a SECP384 curve instead of SHA-384), to interoperate with
openssl.
** libgnutls: Fixed DSA and ECDSA signature generation in smart
cards. Thanks to Andreas Schwier from cardcontact.de for providing
me with ECDSA capable smart cards.

in gnutls/tpm.h. TPM keys can be used in functions accepting files
using URLs of the following types:
tpmkey:file=/path/to/file
tpmkey:uuid=7f468c16-cb7f-11e1-824d-b3a4f4b20343;storage=user
** libgnutls: Priority string level keywords can be combined.
For example the string "SECURE256:+SUITEB128" is now allowed.
** libgnutls: requires libnettle 2.5.
** libgnutls: Use the PKCS #1 1.5 encoding provided by nettle (2.5)
for encryption and signatures.
** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE to differentiate between
generic errors and signature verification errors in the verification
functions.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse() as a helper function
to simplify parsing in most PKCS #12 use cases.
** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file() adds
the whole certificate chain (if any) to the credentials structure, instead
of only the end-user certificate.
** libgnutls: Key import functions such as gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse()
and gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(), return consistently
GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED if the input structure is encrypted but no
password was provided.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_handshake_set_timeout() a function that
allows to set the maximum time spent in a handshake.
** libgnutlsxx: Added session::set_transport_vec_push_function. Patch
by Alexandre Bique.

is assumed to be a file that stores the pin. Based on patch
by David Smith.
** libgnutls: gnutls_record_check_pending() no longer
returns unprocessed data, and thus ensure the non-blocking
of the next call to gnutls_record_recv().
** libgnutls: Added strict tests in Diffie-Hellman and
SRP key exchange public keys.

the public key algorithm of the key.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_get_issuer() and
gnutls_x509_trust_list_get_issuer() to compensate for the
missing gnutls_certificate_get_x509_cas().
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_x509_crq_verify() to allow
verification of the self signature in a certificate request.
This allows verifying whether the owner of the private key

** gnutls-serv: Corrected a buffer overflow. Reported and patch by Tomas Mraz.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.11.5 (released 2010-12-01)
** libgnutls: Reverted default behavior for verification and
introduced GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT. Thus by default
V1 trusted CAs are allowed, unless the new flag is specified.
** libgnutls: Correctly add leading zero to PKCS #8 encoded DSA key.
Reported by Jeffrey Walton.
** libgnutls: Added SIGN-ALL, CTYPE-ALL, COMP-ALL, and VERS-TLS-ALL
as priority strings. Those allow to set all the supported algorithms
at once.
** p11tool: Introduced. It allows manipulating pkcs 11 tokens.
** gnutls-cli: Print channel binding only in verbose mode.
Before it printed it after the 'Compression:' output, thus breaking
Emacs starttls.el string searches.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_pkcs11_token_init: New function
gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin: New function
* Version 2.11.4 (released 2010-10-15)
** libgnutls: Add new API gnutls_session_channel_binding.
The function is used to get the channel binding data. Currently only
the "tls-unique" (RFC 5929) channel binding type is supported, through
the GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE type. See new section "Channel Bindings" in
the manual.
** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: Print 'tls-unique' Channel Bindings.
** doc: Added pkcs11.h header file to GTK-DOC manual.
** build: Update gnulib files.
** i18n: Update translations.
** tests: Add self tests gendh.c. Speed up Guile self checks.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_session_channel_binding: New function.
gnutls_channel_binding_t: New enumeration.
GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE: New gnutls_channel_binding_t enum member.
GNUTLS_E_CHANNEL_BINDING_NOT_AVAILABLE: New error code.
* Version 2.11.3 (released 2010-10-14)
** Indent code to follow the GNU Coding Standard.
You should be able to unpack the 2.11.2 release and run 'make indent'
twice to get exactly the same content as 2.11.3 except for generated
files. Using GNU Indent 2.2.11.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.11.2 (released 2010-10-08)
** libgnutls: Several bug fixes on session resumption
and session tickets support.
** libgnutls: Add new extended key usage ipsecIKE.
** certtool: Renamed PKCS #11 options to: --p11-provider,
--p11-export-url, --p11-list-certs, --p11-list-certs,
--p11-list-privkeys, --p11-list-trusted, --p11-list-all-certs,
--p11-list-all, --p11-list-tokens, --p11-login, --p11-write,
--p11-write-label, --p11-write-trusted, --p11-detailed-url,
--p11-delete-url
** libgnutls: Corrected bug that caused importing DSA keys as RSA,
introduced with the new nettle code.
** libgnutls: Corrected advertizing issue for session tickets.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_unique_id: ADDED.
gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_unique_id: ADDED.
* Version 2.11.1 (released 2010-09-14)
** libgnutls: Nettle is the default crypto back end. Use --with-libgcrypt
to use the libgcrypt back end.
** libgnutls: Depend on nettle 2.1. This makes nettle a fully working
backend crypto library.
** libgnutls: Added RSA_NULL_SHA1 and SHA256 ciphersuites.
** libgnutls: Several updates in the buffering internal interface.
** libgnutls: Is now more liberal in the PEM decoding. That is spaces and
tabs are being skipped.
** libgnutls: Added support for draft-pechanec-pkcs11uri-02.
** libgnutls: The %COMPAT flag now allows larger records that violate the
TLS spec.
** libgnutls: by default lowat level has been set to zero to avoid unnecessary
system calls. Applications that depended on it being 1 should explicitly call
gnutls_transport_set_lowat().
** libgnutls: Updated documentation and gnutls_pk_params_t mappings
to ECRYPT II recommendations. Mappings were moved to a single location
and DSA keys are handled differently (since DSA2 allows for 1024,2048
and 3072 keys only).
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
is unable to decode the key.
** libgnutls: HMAC-MD5 no longer used by default.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sec_param: ADDED
gnutls_x509_privkey_sec_param: ADDED
* Version 2.11.0 (released 2010-07-22)
** libgnutls: support scattered write using writev(). This takes
advantage of the new buffering layer and allows queuing of packets
and flushing them. This is currently used for handshake messages
only.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
a block of
#if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
gcry_control(...)
#endif
** libgnutls: Added support for reading DN from EV-certificates.
New DN values:
jurisdictionOfIncorporationLocalityName,
jurisdictionOfIncorporationStateOrProvinceName,
jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName
** libgnutls: Added support for DSA signing/verifying with bit
length over 1024.
** libgnutls-extra: When in FIPS mode gnutls_global_init_extra()
has to be called to register any required md5 handlers.
** libgnutls: Internal buffering code was replaced by simpler
code contributed by Jonathan Bastien-Filiatrault.
** libgnutls: Internal API for extensions augmented to allow
safe storing and loading of data on resumption. This allows writing
self-contained extensions (when possible). As a side effect
the OPRFI extension was removed.
** libgnutls: Added support for DSA-SHA256 and DSA-SHA224
** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 support and an API to access objects in
gnutls/pkcs11.h. Currently certificates and public keys can be
imported from tokens, and operations can be performed on private keys.
** libgnutls: Added abstract gnutls_privkey_t and gnutls_pubkey_t
** libgnutls: Added initial support for the nettle library. It uses
the system's random generator for seeding. That is /dev/urandom in Linux,
system calls in Win32 and EGD on other systems.
** libgnutls: Corrected issue on the %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string. It now
works even when resuming a session.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function() to replace the
similar gnutls_certificate_set_server_retrieve_function() and
gnutls_certificate_set_client_retrieve_function(). In addition it support
PKCS #11 private keys.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_crt(), gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_privkey(),
and gnutls_pkcs11_delete_url() to allow copying and deleting data in tokens.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() et al. to allow select bit
sizes for private keys using a human understandable scale.
** certtool: Added new options: --pkcs11-list-tokens, --pkcs11-list-all
--pkcs11-list-all-certs, --pkcs11-list-trusted, --pkcs11-list-certs,
--pkcs11-delete-url, --pkcs11-write
certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior can
be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
certtool: Added --certificate-pubkey to print the public key of the
certificate.
** gnutls-cli/gnutls-serv: --x509cafile, --x509certfile and --x509keyfile
can now accept a PKCS #11 URL in addition to a file. This will allow for
example to use the Gnome-keyring trusted certificate list to verify
connections using a url such as:
pkcs11:token=Root%20CA%20Certificates;serial=1%3AROOTS%3ADEFAULT;model=1%2E0;manufacturer=Gnome%20Keyring

* Version 2.10.1 (released 2010-07-25)
** libgnutls: Added support for broken certificates that indicate RSA
with strange OIDs.
** gnutls-cli: Allow verification using V1 CAs.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
is unable to decode the key.
** libgnutls: Correctly deinitialize crypto API functions to prevent
a memory leak. Reported by Mads Kiilerich.
** certtool: If asked to generate DSA keys of size more than 1024 bits,
issue a warning, that the output key might not be working everywhere.
** certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior
can be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
** API and ABI modifications:

* Version 2.10.0 (released 2010-06-25)
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.9.12 (released 2010-06-17)
** gnutls-cli: Make --starttls work again.
Problem introduced in patch to use read() instead of fgets() committed
on 2010-01-27.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.9.11 (released 2010-06-07)
** libgnutls: Removed two APIs related to safe renegotiation.
Use priority strings instead. The APIs were
gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial and gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set.
(Remember that we don't promise ABI stability during development
series, so this doesn't cause an shared library ABI increment.)
** tests: More self testing of safe renegotiation extension.
See tests/safe-renegotiation/README for more information.
** doc: a PDF version of the API reference manual (GTK-DOC) is now built.
** doc: Terms 'GNUTLS' and 'GNU TLS' were changed to 'GnuTLS' for consistency.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial: REMOVED.
gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set: REMOVED.
* Version 2.9.10 (released 2010-04-22)
** libgnutls: Time verification extended to trusted certificate list.
Unless new constant GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TRUSTED_TIME_CHECKS flag is
specified.
** certtool: Display postalCode and Name X.509 DN attributes correctly.
Based on patch by Pavan Konjarla. Adds new constant
GNUTLS_OID_X520_POSTALCODE and GNUTLS_OID_X520_NAME.
** libgnutls: Added Steve Dispensa's patch for safe renegotiation (RFC 5746)
Solves the issue discussed in:
and
.
Note that to allow connecting to unpatched servers the full protection
is only enabled if the priority string %SAFE_RENEGOTIATION is
specified. You can check whether protection is in place by querying
gnutls_safe_renegotiation_status(). New error codes
GNUTLS_E_SAFE_RENEGOTIATION_FAILED and
GNUTLS_E_UNSAFE_RENEGOTIATION_DENIED added.
** libgnutls: When checking openpgp self signature also check the signatures
** of all subkeys.
Ilari Liusvaara noticed and reported the issue and provided test
vectors as well.
** libgnutls: Added cryptodev support (/dev/crypto).
Tested with http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/cryptodev/. Added
benchmark utility for AES. Adds new error codes
GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_IOCTL_ERROR and GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_DEVICE_ERROR.
** libgnutls: Exported API to access encryption and hash algorithms.
The new API functions are gnutls_cipher_decrypt, gnutls_cipher_deinit,
gnutls_cipher_encrypt, gnutls_cipher_get_block_size,
gnutls_cipher_init, gnutls_hash, gnutls_hash_deinit, gnutls_hash_fast,
gnutls_hash_get_len, gnutls_hash_init, gnutls_hash_output,
gnutls_hmac, gnutls_hmac_deinit, gnutls_hmac_fast,
gnutls_hmac_get_len, gnutls_hmac_init, gnutls_hmac_output. New API
constants are GNUTLS_MAC_SHA224 and GNUTLS_DIG_SHA224.
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function() to allow
verification of certificate upon receipt rather than waiting until the
end of the handshake.
** libgnutls: Don't send alerts during handshake.
Instead new error code GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME is added.
** certtool: Corrected two issues that affected certificate request generation.
(1) Null padding is added on integers (found thanks to Wilankar Trupti),
(2) In optional SignatureAlgorithm parameters field for DSA keys the DSA
parameters were added. Those were rejected by Verisign. Gnutls no longer adds
those parameters there since other implementations don't do either and having
them does not seem to offer anything (anyway you need the signer's certificate
to verify thus public key will be available). Found thanks to Boyan Kasarov.
This however has the side-effect that public key IDs shown by certtool are
now different than previous gnutls releases.
(3) the option --pgp-certificate-info will verify self signatures
** certtool: Allow exporting of Certificate requests on DER format.
** certtool: New option --no-crq-extensions to avoid extensions in CSRs.
** gnutls-cli: Handle reading binary data from server.

* Version 2.9.8 (released 2009-11-05)
** libgnutls: Fix for memory leaks on interrupted handshake.
Reported by Tang Tong.
** libgnutls: Addition of support for TLS 1.2 signature algorithms
** extension and certificate verify field.
This requires changes for TLS 1.2 servers and clients that use
callbacks for certificate retrieval. They are now required to check
with gnutls_sign_algorithm_get_requested() whether the certificate
they send complies with the peer's preferences in signature
algorithms.
** libgnutls: In server side when resuming a session do not overwrite the
** initial session data with the resumed session data.
** libgnutls: Added support for AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 in PKCS #8
** encryption.
This affects also PKCS #12 encoded files. This adds the following new
enums: GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_192_CBC, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_128,
GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_192, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_256.
** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 encoding.
The error you would get was "The OID is not supported.". Problem
introduced for the v2.8.x branch in 2.7.6.
** certtool: Added the --pkcs-cipher option.
To explicitly specify the encryption algorithm to use.
** tests: Added "pkcs12_encode" self-test to check PKCS#12 functions.
** tests: Fix time bomb in chainverify self-test.
Reported by Andreas Metzler in
.
** tests: Fix expired cert in chainverify self-test.
** i18n: Vietnamese translation updated.
Thanks to Clytie Siddall.

* Version 2.9.4 (released 2009-09-03)
** libgnutls: Client-side TLS 1.2 and SHA-256 ciphersuites now works.
The new supported ciphersuites are AES-128/256 in CBC mode with
ANON-DH/RSA/DHE-DSS/DHE-RSA. Contributed by Daiki Ueno. Further,
SHA-256 is now the preferred default MAC (however it is only used with
TLS 1.2).
** libgnutls: Make OpenPGP hostname checking work again.
The patch to resolve the X.509 CN/SAN issue accidentally broken
OpenPGP hostname comparison.
** libgnutls: When printing X.509 certificates, handle XMPP SANs better.
Reported by Howard Chu in
.
** Fix use of deprecated types internally.
Use of deprecated types in GnuTLS from now on will lead to a compile
error, to prevent this from happening again.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.9.3 (released 2009-08-19)
** libgnutls: Support for TLS tickets was contributed by Daiki Ueno.
The new APIs are gnutls_session_ticket_enable_client,
gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server, and

gnutls_session_ticket_enable_client: ADDED.
gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server: ADDED.
* Version 2.9.2 (released 2009-08-14)
** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie
Marlinspike at BlackHat09. Thanks to Tomas Hoger
for providing one part of the patch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-4] [CVE-2009-2730].
** libgnutls: Fix rare failure in gnutls_x509_crt_import.
The function may fail incorrectly when an earlier certificate was
imported to the same gnutls_x509_crt_t structure.
** minitasn1: Internal copy updated to libtasn1 v2.3.
** libgnutls: Fix return value of gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status.
Before it always returned false. Reported by Peter Hendrickson
in
.
** libgnutls: Fix off-by-one size computation error in unknown DN printing.
The error resulted in truncated strings when printing unknown OIDs in
X.509 certificate DNs. Reported by Tim Kosse
in
.
** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 decryption from password.
The encryption key derived from the password was incorrect for (on
average) 1 in every 128 input for random inputs. Reported by "Kukosa,

* Version 2.8.2 (released 2009-08-10)
** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie
Marlinspike at BlackHat09. Thanks to Tomas Hoger

*** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.8 compared to GnuTLS 2.6.x
No officially supported interfaces have been modified or removed. The
library should be completely backwards compatible on both the source
and binary level.
The shared library no longer exports some symbols that have never been
officially supported, i.e., not mentioned in any of the header files.
The symbols are:
_gnutls*
gnutls_asn1_tab
Normally when symbols are removed, the shared library version has to
be incremented. This leads to a significant cost for everyone using
the library. Because none of the above symbols have ever been
intended for use by well-behaved applications, we decided that the it
would be better for those applications to pay the price rather than
incurring problems on the majority of applications.
If it turns out that applications have been using unofficial
interfaces, we will need to release a follow-on release on the v2.8
branch to exports additional interfaces. However, initial testing
suggests that few if any applications have been using any of the
internal symbols.
Although not a new change compared to 2.6.x, we'd like to remind you
interfaces have been modified so that X.509 chain verification now
also checks activation/expiration times on certificates. The affected
functions are:
gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.
GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED: ADDED.
GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
This change in behaviour was made during the GnuTLS 2.6.x cycle, and
we gave our rationale for it in earlier release notes.
The following symbols have been added to the library:
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_mem: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_authority_key_id: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_extension_data: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_extension_info: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_extension_oid: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crl_get_number: ADDED

** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
Merged from stable branch. Reported by Romain Francoise
. This changes the semantics of
gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in turn is used by
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.
We add two new gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new
error condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED.
We also add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new
behaviour. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-3] [CVE-2009-1417]
** lib: Linker version scripts reduces number of exported symbols.
The linker version script now lists all exported ABIs explicitly, to
avoid accidentally exporting unintended functions. Compared to
before, most symbols beginning with _gnutls* are no longer exported.
These functions have never been intended for use by applications, and
there were no prototypes for these function in the public header
files. Thus we believe it is possible to do this without incrementing
the library ABI version which normally has to be done when removing an
interface.
** lib: Limit exported symbols on systems without LD linker scripts.
Before all symbols were exported. Now we limit the exported symbols
to (for libgnutls and libgnutls-extra) gnutls* and (for libgnutls)
_gnutls*. This is a superset of the actual supported ABI, but still
an improvement compared to before. This is implemented using Libtool
-export-symbols-regex. It is more portable than linker version
scripts.
** libgnutls: Incremented CURRENT/AGE libtool version to reflect new symbols.
This should have been done in the last release.
** gnutls-serv: Listen on all interfaces, including both IPv4 and IPv6.
Reported by Peter Hendrickson in
.
** doc: Improved sections for the info manual.
We now follow the advice given by the texinfo manual on which
directory categories to use. In particular, libgnutls moved from the
'GNU Libraries' section to the 'Software libraries' and the command
line tools moved from 'Network Applications' to 'System
Administration'.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.

GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
* Version 2.7.7 (released 2009-04-20)
** libgnutls: Applied patch by Cedric Bail to add functions
gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash() and gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm().
** gnutls.pc: Add -ltasn1 to 'pkg-config --libs --static gnutls' output.

domain 'gnutls' for translations of the command line tools.
** Corrected possible memory corruption on signature verification failure.
Reported by Miroslav Kratochvil
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash: ADDED
gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm: ADDED
* Version 2.7.6 (released 2009-02-27)
** certtool: Query for multiple dnsName subjectAltName in interactive mode.
This applies both to generating certificates and certificate requests.
** pkix.asn: Removed unneeded definitions to reduce memory usage.
** gnutls-cli: No longer accepts V1 CAs by default during X.509 chain verify.
Use --priority NORMAL:%VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT to permit V1 CAs to
be used for chain verification.
** gnutls-serv: No longer disable MAC padding by default.
Use --priority NORMAL:%COMPAT to disable MAC padding again.
** gnutls-cli: Certificate information output format changed.
The tool now uses libgnutls' functions to print certificate
information. This avoids code duplication.
** libgnutls: New priority strings %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5
** and %VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT.
They can be used to override the default certificate chain validation
behaviour.
** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy
TLS servers. Report by Martin von Gagern.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_print prints signature algorithm in oneline mode.
** libgnutls: gnutls_openpgp_crt_print supports oneline mode.
** doc: Update gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv --help output descriptions.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.7.5 (released 2009-02-06)
** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
in
.
** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
the size of the result. Report by John Brooks .
** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
Reported by Tristan Hill .
** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
"Douglas E. Engert" in
.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.7.4 (released 2009-01-07)
** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
in
,
debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz and Daniel Kahn
Gillmor .
** libgnutls: New interface to get key id for certificate requests.
Patch from David Marín Carreño in
.
** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crq_print will now also print public key id.
** certtool: --verify-chain now prints results of using library verification.
Earlier, certtool --verify-chain used its own validation algorithm
which wasn't guaranteed to give the same result as the libgnutls
internal validation algorithm. Now this command print a new final
line with header 'Chain verification output:' that contains the result
from using the internal verification algorithm on the same chain.
** tests: Add crq_key_id self-test of gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id: ADDED.
* Version 2.7.3 (released 2008-12-10)
** libgnutls: Fix chain verification for chains that ends with RSA-MD2 CAs.
Reported by Michael Kiefer in
forwarded by
Andreas Metzler in
.
** libgnutls: Libgcrypt initialization changed.
If libgcrypt has not already been initialized, GnuTLS will now
initialize libgcrypt with disabled secure memory. Initialize
libgcrypt explicitly in your application if you want to enable secure
memory. Before GnuTLS initialized libgcrypt to use GnuTLS's memory
allocation functions, which doesn't use secure memory, so there is no
real change in behaviour.
** libgnutls: Fix memory leak in PSK authentication.

** libgnutls: Fix DSA key generation.
Noticed when investigating the previous GNUTLS-SA-2009-1 problem. All
DSA keys generated using GnuTLS 2.6.x are corrupt. See the advisory
for more details. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-2] [CVE-2009-1416]
** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
Reported by Romain Francoise . Before the
library did not check activation/expiration times on certificates, and
was documented as not doing so. We have realized that many
applications that use libgnutls, including gnutls-cli, fail to perform
proper checks. Implementing similar logic in all applications leads
to code duplication. Hence, we decided to check whether the current
time (as reported by the time function) is within the
activation/expiration period of certificates when verifying untrusted
certificates.
This changes the semantics of gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in
turn is used by gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2. We add two new
gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new error
condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED. We also
add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new
behaviour.
More details about the vulnerabilities will be posted at

* Version 2.6.5 (released 2009-04-11)
** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy
TLS servers. Report by Martin von Gagern.
** GnuTLS no longer uses the libtasn1-config script to find libtasn1.
Libtasn1 0.3.4 or later is required. This is to align with the
upcoming libtasn1 v2.0 release that doesn't have a libtasn1-script.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.6.4 (released 2009-02-06)
** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
in
.
** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
the size of the result. Report by John Brooks .
** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
Reported by Tristan Hill .
** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
"Douglas E. Engert" in
.
** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor

Problem in X509_get_subject_name and X509_get_issuer_name. Tiny patch
from Thomas Viehmann .
** certtool: Use inet_pton for parsing IPv6 addresses.
** Major changes compared to the v2.4 branch:
*** Added API to replace and update the crypto backend.
*** certtool: can add several subject alternative names via template file.
*** opencdk: Parse (but not decrypt) encrypted secret keys.
*** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_set_subject_alt_name() was added that can
either set or append alternative names. It can also handle binary structures
such as IP addresses.
*** libgnutls: New function to set minimum acceptable SRP bits.
The function is gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits.
*** libgnutls: Add interface to deal with public key and signature algorithms.
The functions are called gnutls_pk_list, gnutls_pk_get_id,
gnutls_sign_list, and gnutls_sign_get_id.
*** libgnutls: New interfaces to get name of public key and signing algorithms.
The functions are gnutls_sign_get_name and gnutls_pk_get_name.
*** libgnutls: New API to get a string corresponding to a error symbol.
The function is gnutls_strerror_name.
*** libgnutls: New API to set the public parameters in a certificate request
*** from a private key.
The function is gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw.
*** libgnutls: New API to set a callback to extract TLS Finished data.
The function to register is gnutls_session_set_finished_function and
it takes a callback of the gnutls_finished_callback_func type.
*** libgnutls: Fix namespace problem with TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE.
*** libgnutls: New interface to register a new TLS extension handler.
The new function gnutls_ext_register can be used to register handlers
for specific TLS extension types. The callback functions have the new
types gnutls_ext_recv_func and gnutls_ext_send_func. A type to
classify TLS extensions, gnutls_ext_parse_type_t, has been added as
well.
*** libgnutls-extra: Add function to work with Libgcrypt in FIPS mode.
The function is gnutls_register_md5_handler. When libgcrypt is in
FIPS mode, MD5 is disabled, but TLS normally requires use of MD5 in
the PRF.
*** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.6
No functions have been removed or modified. The library should be
fully backwards compatible on both the source and binary level.
A new header file have been added. It contains
definitions related to replacing the internal crypto functionality.
All definitions and the header itself is experimental but supported.
We have realized that the symbols TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE
does not use the normal namespace. We have added GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE
and GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE, but the old symbols are still defined.
The following functions have been added to libgnutls:
GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE

old certificate chains stored in PKCS#7 format, you can convert them
to a list of PEM certificates by using 'certtool --p7-info'. Reported
by Christian Grothoff .

** libgnutls: New API to set the public parameters in a certificate request
** from a private key.
The function is gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw. Inspired by
discussion with "Zach C." .
** libgnutls: New API to set a callback to extract TLS Finished data.
The function to register is gnutls_session_set_finished_function and
it takes a callback of the gnutls_finished_callback_func type.
** libgnutls: Drop final comma after GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL in enum.
Reported in .
** libgnutls: Fix namespace problem with TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE.
The new names are GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE and GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE. The old
names are mapped to the new names in compat.h. These mappings will
likely be removed more quickly than other mappings in that file due to
the namespace violation.
** libgnutlsxx: Make it build when SRP is disabled.

** libgnutls: Fix bug in gnutls_dh_params_generate2.
The prime and generator was swapped.
** libgnutls: New interface to register a new TLS extension handler.
The new function gnutls_ext_register can be used to register handlers
for specific TLS extension types. The callback functions have the new
types gnutls_ext_recv_func and gnutls_ext_send_func. A type to
classify TLS extensions, gnutls_ext_parse_type_t, has been added as
well.
** Move more code for TLS/IA extension from libgnutls to libgnutls-extra.
This was made possible by using the new gnutls_ext_register interface.
The TLS/IA functionality has only been supported through the
libgnutls-extra library, so it makes sense for the code to belong
there too.

* Version 2.4.0 (released 2008-06-19)
** Major changes compared to the v2.2 branch:
*** The OpenPGP sub-system has been improved and now supports subkeys.
*** The PSK sub-system has been improved and now supports password
*** derivation and PSK identity hints.
The password derivation algorithms support is documented in
draft-ietf-netconf-tls-02.txt.
*** The certtool --inder and --outder has been replaced by --inraw and --outraw.
This aligns terminology with OpenPGP, which doesn't use DER encoding.
The old parameters will continue to work for some time.
*** Certtool now confirm passwords and changes permissions of private key files.
*** The default handshake size limit has been increased to 48kb.
It appears as if some valid handshakes are large due to sending many
CA certificates. (The earlier limit was 16kb.)
*** LZO compression is now disabled by default.
The main reason is that LZO compression in TLS is not standardized,
but license compatibility issues with minilzo triggered us to make this
decision now.
*** Improvements for cross-compilation to Windows and OpenWRT.
*** The look of the GTK-DOC manual has been improved.
Major developer visible changes compared to the v2.2 branch:
*** Full OpenPGP support is part of libgnutls, licensed under the LGPL.
*** New APIs to access the raw X.509 Subject and Issuer DN's and
*** elements from the certificate credentials structure.
Thanks to Joe Orton.
*** New APIs to improve working with username/passwords and PSK.
*** Names of constants to affect certificate printing changed.
The constants are used for OpenPGP too, which the names didn't
reflect, so the following name change has been made:
Old name New name
GNUTLS_X509_CRT_FULL GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_FULL
GNUTLS_X509_CRT_ONELINE GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_ONELINE
GNUTLS_X509_CRT_UNSIGNED_FULL GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL
The old names will be mapped to the new names for some time.
*** The function gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_id has been renamed to
*** gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_key_id.
A compatibility mapping exists to avoid breaking API backwards
compatibility.
*** Replaced all uses of alloca with malloc and free.
*** We no longer build with -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE.
We have been unable to find a documented rationale for this practice.
*** Of course, many smaller fixes have been made, see the ChangeLog file.
*** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.4
All OpenPGP related functions have been moved from libgnutls-extra to
libgnutls, and several new functions have been added (see below).
Before making the release, we discussed whether moving functions from
libgnutls-extra to libgnutls would require us to increment the ABI
version, but the general opinion was that this would not be required.
All older functions continue to work the same. We are open to the
possibility that this decision will lead to problem on some platform,
and if it turns out that the Right Thing should have been to increment
the shared library version, we would need to release an update within
the 2.4.x branch that increments the shared library version.
This release adds the following functions:
gnutls_psk_client_get_hint
gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint
gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key
Used to get/set the PSK identity hint, and derive PSK keys from
passwords a'la netconf.
gnutls_x509_dn_deinit
gnutls_x509_dn_export
gnutls_x509_dn_import
gnutls_x509_dn_init
Used to handle X.509 Certificate DN's directly.
gnutls_hex2bin
Converts a data buffer to hex. Useful for handling PSK/SRP shared
secrets.
gnutls_certificate_get_x509_cas
gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crls
gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_keyring
Functions for direct access to credential elements.

The function gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_key_id is the same as the old
from gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_id, see above.
The release also adds a new header file 'gnutls/crypto.h', however it
is currently not used.
** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: New APIs to retrieve fingerprint from OpenPGP subkeys.
Contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor .
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_fingerprint: ADDED.
gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_fingerprint: ADDED.
* Version 2.3.15 (released 2008-06-15)
** Disable the openpgp-certs self-tests.
It results in failure under Wine and doesn't work on Debian buildds.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.3.14 (released 2008-06-11)
** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: Changed OpenPGP verification behaviour.
An OpenPGP certificate is now only considered verified if all the user
IDs are verified.
** Examples: Make C++ example compile.
Earlier it may have failed with an unresolved reference to strlen.
** Documentation: Doc fix for gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_oid.
Reported by Sam Varshavchik .
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.3.13 (released 2008-06-07)
** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: Make OpenPGP handshakes work again.
** doc/: Add psktool to info index. Some minor cleanups.
** tests/: Added non-forking TLS handshake test, see tests/mini.c.
** tests/: Added libgcrypt.supp which can be used with valgrind.
The file suppresses the known libgcrypt memory leaks, so they aren't
printed when you run valgrind on the gnutls self-tests. Use it as
follows: valgrind --suppressions=libgcrypt.supp ./x509self or add
'--suppressions=/home/you/src/gnutls/tests/libgcrypt.supp' to your
~/.valgrindrc file.
** tests/: Reduce amount of debugging output by default.
Use --verbose for each test to get the full output.
** tests/: Fix memory leaks in several self-tests.
None of the self tests should be leaking memory when running valgrind
or similar tools. (Known exceptions are dhepskself, pskself, and
set_pkcs12_cred, which appear likely to be due to memory leaks in the
library.)
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.3.12 (released 2008-06-04)
** Merge gnutls_with_netconf branch.
*** libgnutls [PSK]: New API to retrieve PSK identity hint in client.
The function is gnutls_psk_client_get_hint.
*** libgnutls [PSK]: New API to set PSK identity hint in server.
The function is gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint.
*** libgnutls [PSK]: Support server key exchange with PSK identity hint.
In the client, the message is parsed and the application can use
gnutls_psk_client_get_hint to retrieve the hint. In the server, the
message is sent if the application has specified a PSK identity hint
using gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint.
*** libgnutls [PSK]: Support Netconf PSK key derivation.
The function gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key supports the PSK key
derivation as specified in draft-ietf-netconf-tls-02.txt. New self
test netconf-psk.c.
*** psktool: Support new --netconf-hint to generate PSK key from password.
Uses the Netconf algorithm to derive PSK key from password.
*** gnutls-serv: Support new --pskhint parameter to set PSK identity hint.
*** gnutls-cli: Always support PSK modes, through a callback.
The callback will derive a PSK key using Netconf algorithm. It will
print the PSK identity hint to help the user.
*** New PSK example client and server.
See doc/examples/ex-client-psk.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-psk.c.
** libgnutls: Fix gnutls_x509_crl_set_version on arm platforms.
The code didn't work properly on platforms where 'char' is unsigned,
when you set version 0. Reported by Laurence Withers
in
.
** libgnutls-openssl: added RAND_pseudo_bytes API.
Patch from Robert Millan .
** API and ABI modifications:
RAND_pseudo_bytes: ADDED to libgnutls-openssl.
gnutls_psk_client_get_hint: ADDED.
gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint: ADDED.
gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key: ADDED
* Version 2.3.11 (released 2008-05-20)
** Fix flaw in fix for GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3.
The flaw would result in incorrectly terminated sessions with the
error "Decryption has failed" when the server sends a small packet
(typically when the session is closed). Reported by Andreas Metzler
in
.
** Don't use gnulib headers when building C++ library.
Fixes builds under Windows.
** Make umask a requirement.
We don't know of any system that lacks it, even GNU CoreUtils use it
unconditionally.
** Update gnulib files.
Fixes a problem where it pulled in a replacement for memcmp under
MinGW, which caused the C++ example to fail to build.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.3.10 (released 2008-05-19)
** Added wide wildcard hostname matching.
Tiny patch by Jean-Philippe Garcia Ballester.
** Fix three security vulnerabilities. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1]
Thanks to CERT-FI for finding the bugs and providing detailed reports,
which allowed the bugs to be reproduced and fixed easily. Patches
developed by Simon Josefsson and Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos. Any updates
with more details about these vulnerabilities will be added to
*** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-1]
*** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending invalid server name.
The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
cause gnutls to store more session resumption data than what was
allocated for, thus overwriting unallocated memory.
*** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-2]
*** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending repeated client hellos.
The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
triggers a null-pointer dereference.
*** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3]
*** libgnutls: Fix crash in cipher padding decoding for invalid record lengths.
The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
cause gnutls to read memory beyond the end of the received record.
** libgnutlsxx: Updated API according to patches from Eduardo
Villanueva Che (discussion at
)
** Use umask to restrict permissions to owner before creating a file.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.3.9 (released 2008-05-16)
** libgnutls: Fix build failures if SRP/OpenPGP is disabled.
Based on report and tiny patches from
, see
.
** libgnutls: Translation fixes.
** gnutls-cli: Fix so that PSK authentication works.
Also improve manual to give example for gnutls-cli PSK authentication.
** certtool: Encrypting a private key now require a confirmed password.
Before './certtool -k -8' would merely ask for a password once.
Reported by Daniel 'NebuchadnezzaR' Dehennin
see
.
** certtool: When writing private keys to files, change permissions of file.
Now the file which the private key is saved to is chmod'ed 0600.
Reported by martin f krafft see
.
** guile: Fix -fgnu89-inline test.
** Removed --enable-profile-mode.
The code linked gnutls with the libfc project (Function Check) which
appears to have been stalled since around 2002.
** Clean up header file checks by ./configure.
** Update of gnulib files.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.3.8 (released 2008-04-29)
** libgnutls: Increase default handshake packet size limit to 48kb.
The old limit was 16kb and some servers send huge list of trusted CAs,
thus running into the limit. FYI, applications can further increase
this limit using gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length. Thanks to
Marc Haber and "Marc F. Clemente"
for reporting and providing test servers.
** libgnutls: Add new error code: GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE
Returned when the handshake data size is too large. Before
GNUTLS_E_MEMORY_ERROR was used, which could be confused with other
error situations.
** libgnutls: Hide definitions in crypto.h.
We have decided that the APIs defined in crypto.h are not stable
enough for v2.4, so don't use any of those functions.
** gnutls-cli: exit when hostname doesn't match certificate.
Use --insecure to avoid hostname comparison.
** certtool: --inder and --outder replaced by --inraw and --outraw.
The reason is to align terminology with OpenPGP, which doesn't use
DER. The old parameters will continue to work for some time.
** doc: Add section 'Index of new symbols in 2.4.0' to the GTK-DOC manual.
** doc: Many cosmetic fixes, to silence (most) gtk-doc warnings.
** Mingw32: Revert libgcrypt vasprintf work-around added in last release.
Use libgcrypt 1.4.1 or later when building on MinGW32, it removes the
vasprintf symbol from the libgcrypt library which caused problems.
** Update of gnulib files.
** tests: New self-test of crypto.h RNG code tests/crypto_rng.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE: ADDED.
* Version 2.3.7 (released 2008-04-21)
** opencdk now properly sets the key usage bits into openpgp keys.
** gnutls-cli: Fix crash on TLS handshake failures.
Reported by "Marc F. Clemente" in Debian BTS #466477.
This is similar to .
** certtool: with --generate-request and newly generated keys, print the key.
** Build fixes for MinGW.
Missing rpl_fseeko symbol in lib/opencdk/. Better checks for linking
with -lws2_32 when needed. Use ASCII only isprint() when printing
X.509 certificate information, to avoid non-ASCII but printable
characters. Thanks to Massimo Gaspari for
reports.
** Update internal copy of libtasn1 to version 1.4.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.3.6 (released 2008-04-17)
** Make gnutls_x509_crq_sign2 set certificate request version if not set.
** Improve documentation for gnutls_x509_crq_sign2.
Based on report from "John Brooks" in
.
** tests/pathlen: run diff without parameters to improve portability.
Based on HPUX build hints in
.
** Don't use %e specifier with strftime, it doesn't work under Windows.
Reported by Massimo Gaspari in
.
** Remove all uses of gnutls_alloca/gnutls_afree.
Use normal gnutls_malloc instead. One reason is increased portability
to Windows, the other is that several of the uses may be unsafe
because the size of data allocated could be large. Reported by
Massimo Gaspari in
.
** Build Guile code with -fgnu89-inline only when supported.
Reported by Kris Karas in
.
** Several GTK-DOC related fixes.
** Clean up OpenCDK related code.
GnuTLS now requires its internal OpenCDK code rather than the external
GPL library OpenCDK. Unfortunately, we don't have resources to
maintain an external library (help welcome).
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.3.5 (released 2008-04-14)
** Build fix for MinGW and --disable-shared.
Reported by Massimo Gaspari in

* Version 2.3.3 (released 2008-03-10)
** Fix build failure in libextra/gnutls_extra.c that needed opencdk.h.
Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy .
** No longer compiled using -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE.
We could not find any modern justification for enabling these flags by
default. If you know of some platform that needs one of the flags to
work properly, please let us know. (Actually introduced in v2.3.0 but
not documented until now.)
** Importing many CA certificates are now considerably faster.
This affect gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_mem,
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust, and
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file. The complexity was reduced
from O(2*n^2) to O(n). When adding 206 files containing 408
certificates, using gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file, the time
dropped from 40 seconds to 0.3 seconds. Thanks to Edgar Fuß for code
to trigger the problem. See also

* Version 2.3.0 (released 2008-01-08)
** LZO compression is now disabled by default.
The reason is that LZO compression is not standardized in TLS. If you
wish to experiment with it, you will have to supply --with-lzo when
invoking ./configure. The internal copy of minilzo is no longer
included with GnuTLS, so you will need to install liblzo or liblzo2 on
your system to have --with-lzo to be effective.
** More than one server name field is now sent to the server properly.
Thanks to mark.phillips@virgin.net.
** Fixes the post_client_hello_function(). The extensions are now parsed
in a callback friendly way.
** Fix for certificate selection in servers with certificate callbacks.
** Updated translations.
** Update gnulib files.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.2.5 (released 2008-05-19)
** Fix flaw in fix for GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3.
The flaw would result in incorrectly terminated sessions with the
error "Decryption has failed" when the server sends a small packet
(typically when the session is closed). Reported by Andreas Metzler
in
.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.2.4 (released 2008-05-19)
** Fix three security vulnerabilities. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1]
Thanks to CERT-FI for finding the bugs and providing detailed reports,
which allowed the bugs to be reproduced and fixed easily. Patches
developed by Simon Josefsson and Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos. Any updates
with more details about these vulnerabilities will be added to
*** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-1]
*** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending invalid server name.
The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
cause gnutls to store more session resumption data than what was
allocated for, thus overwriting unallocated memory.
*** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-2]
*** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending repeated client hellos.
The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
triggers a null-pointer dereference.
*** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3]
*** libgnutls: Fix crash in cipher padding decoding for invalid record lengths.
The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
cause gnutls to read memory beyond the end of the received record.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.2.3 (released 2008-05-06)
** Increase default handshake packet size limit to 48kb.
The old limit was 16kb and some servers send huge list of trusted CAs,
thus running into the limit. FYI, applications can further increase
this limit using gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length. Thanks to
Marc Haber and "Marc F. Clemente"
for reporting and providing test servers.
** Fix compilation error related to __FUNCTION__ on some systems.
Reported by Tim Mooney, see
.
** Documented the --priority option to gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
** Fix fopen file descriptor leak in PSK server code.
Thanks to Laurence Withers , see
.
** Build Guile code with -fgnu89-inline only when supported.
Reported by Kris Karas in
.
** Make Camellia encryption work.
Reported by Yoshisato YANAGISAWA in
.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.2.2 (released 2008-02-21)
** Cipher priority string handling now handle strings that starts with NULL.
Thanks to Laurence Withers .
** Corrected memory leaks in session resuming and DHE ciphersuites. Reported
by Daniel Stenberg.
** Increased the default certificate verification chain limits and allowed
for checks without limitation.
** Corrected the behaviour of gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name()
and gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name() to not null terminate binary
strings and return the proper size.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.2.1 (released 2008-01-17)
** Prevent linking libextra against previously installed libgnutls.
Tiny patch from "Alon Bar-Lev" , see
.
** Fixes the post_client_hello_function(). The extensions are now parsed
in a callback friendly way.
** Fix for certificate selection in servers with certificate callbacks.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.2.0 (released 2007-12-14)
** Update internal copy of libtasn1 to version 1.2.
** Certtool --verify-chain now handle inputs larger than 64kb.
This fixes the self-test "rsa-md5-collision" under MinGW+Wine with
recent versions of libgcrypt. The problem was that Wine with the
libgcrypt RNG generates huge amounts of debugging output.
** Translation updates.
Added Dutch translation. Updated Polish and Swedish translation.
** Major changes compared to the v2.0 branch:
*** SRP support aligned with newly published RFC 5054.
*** OpenPGP support aligned with newly published RFC 5081.
*** Support for DSA2 keys.
*** Support for Camellia cipher.
*** Support for Opaque PRF Input extension.
*** PKCS#8 parser now handle DSA keys.
*** Change from GPLv2 to GPLv3 for command-line tools, libgnutls-extra, etc.
Notice that liblzo2 2.02 is licensed under GPLv2 only. Earlier
versions, such as 2.01 which is included with GnuTLS, is available
under GPLv2 or later. If this incompatibility causes problems, we
recommend you to disable LZO using --without-lzo. LZO compression is
not a standard TLS compression algorithm, so the impact should be
minimal.
*** Functions for disabling record protocol padding.
Works around bugs on Nokia/Ericsson phones.
*** New functions gnutls_priority_set() for setting cipher priorities easily.
Priorities like "COMPAT" also enables other work arounds, such as
disabling padding.
*** Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
** Backwards incompatible API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.2
To adapt to changes in the TLS extension specifications for OpenPGP
and SRP, the GnuTLS API had to be modified. This means breaking the
API and ABI backwards compatibility. That is something we try to
avoid unless it is necessary. We decided to also remove the already
deprecated stub functions for X.509 to XML conversion and TLS
authorization (see below) when we had the opportunity.
Generally, most applications does not need to be modified. Just
re-compile them against the latest GnuTLS release, and it should work
fine.
Applications that use the OpenPGP or SRP features needs to be
modified. Below is a list of the modified APIs and discussion of what
the minimal things you need to modify in your application to make it
work with GnuTLS 2.2.
Note that GnuTLS 2.2 also introduces new APIs -- such as
gnutls_set_priority() that is superior to
gnutls_set_default_priority() -- that you may want to start using.
However, using those new APIs is not required to use GnuTLS 2.2 since
the old functions continue are still supported. This text only
discuss what you minimally have to modify.
*** XML related changes
The function `gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml' has been removed. It has been
deprecated and only returned an error code since GnuTLS version
1.2.11. Nobody has complained, so users doesn't seem to miss the
functionality. We don't know of any other library to convert X.509
certificates into XML format, but we decided (long ago) that GnuTLS
isn't the right place for this kind of functionality. If you want
help to find some other library to use here, please explain and
discuss your use case on help-gnutls@gnu.org.
*** TLS Authorization related changes
Everything related to TLS authorizations have been removed, they were
only stub functions that returned an error code:
GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_AUTHZ_DATA
gnutls_authz_data_format_type_t
gnutls_authz_recv_callback_func
gnutls_authz_send_callback_func
gnutls_authz_enable
gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert
gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion
gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert_url
gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion_url
*** SRP related changes
The callback gnutls_srp_client_credentials_function has a new
prototype, and its semantic has changed. You need to rewrite the
callback, see the updated function documentation and SRP example code
(doc/examples/ex-client-srp.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-srp.c) for more
information.
The alert codes GNUTLS_A_MISSING_SRP_USERNAME and
GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME are no longer used by the SRP
specification, instead the GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_PSK_IDENTITY alert is
used. There are #define's to map the old names to the new. You may
run into problems if you have a switch-case with cases for both SRP
alerts, since they are now mapped to the same value. The solution is
to drop the SRP alerts from such switch cases, as they are now
deprecated in favor of GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_PSK_IDENTITY.
*** OpenPGP related changes
The function `gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyserver' have been
removed. There is no replacement functionality inside GnuTLS. If you
need keyserver functionality, consider using the GnuPG tools.
All functions, types, and error codes related to OpenPGP trustdb
format have been removed. The trustdb format is a non-standard
GnuPG-specific format, and we recommend you to use key rings instead.
The following have been removed:
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_trustdb
gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_init
gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_deinit
gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_import
gnutls_openpgp_key_verify_trustdb
gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_t
GNUTLS_E_OPENPGP_TRUSTDB_VERSION_UNSUPPORTED
The following functions has an added parameter of the (new) type
`gnutls_openpgp_crt_fmt_t'. The type specify the format of the data
(binary or base64). The functions are:
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_file
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_mem
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyring_mem
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyring_file
To improve terminology and align with the X.509 interface, some
functions have been renamed. Compatibility mappings exists. The old
and new names of the affected functions and types are:
Old name New name
gnutls_openpgp_key_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_t
gnutls_openpgp_key_fmt_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_fmt_t
gnutls_openpgp_key_status_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_status_t
GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEY GNUTLS_OPENPGP_CERT
GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEY_FINGERPRINT GNUTLS_OPENPGP_CERT_FINGERPRINT
gnutls_openpgp_key_init gnutls_openpgp_crt_init
gnutls_openpgp_key_deinit gnutls_openpgp_crt_deinit
gnutls_openpgp_key_import gnutls_openpgp_crt_import
gnutls_openpgp_key_export gnutls_openpgp_crt_export

gnutls_openpgp_key_get_creation_time gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_creation_time
gnutls_openpgp_key_get_expiration_time gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_expiration_time
gnutls_openpgp_key_get_id gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_id

** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.1.8 (released 2007-12-10)
** The GPL version has been changed from version 2 to version 3.
This affects the self-tests, command-line tools, the libgnutls-extra
library, the relevant guile parts, and the build environment.
** Added gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name2().
** Corrected a segfault when setting an empty gnutls_priority_t
at gnutls_priority_set().
** Use gettext 0.17 which updates m4/lib-*.m4 macros.
Fixes a problem with spurious -L/usr/lib additions.
** API and ABI modifications:

accept a string to indicate preferences of ciphersuite parameters.
** gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv now have a --priority option to set
the priority string.
** The gnutls_*_convert_priority() functions were deprecated by
the gnutls_priority_set() and gnutls_priority_set_direct().
** Internal copy of OpenCDK upgraded to version 0.6.6.

* Version 2.1.6 (released 2007-11-15)
** Corrected bug in decompression of expanded compression data.
** Added the --to-p8 option to certtool to convert private keys
to PKCS #8 keys.
** Introduced the GNUTLS_E_BASE64_UNEXPECTED_HEADER_ERROR error code.
** gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_* can now read PKCS #8 unencrypted
private keys.
** Fixed GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM vs GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM.
During the 2.1.x series the GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM error code
was renamed to GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM, unfortunately without being
documented. This caused some problems (e.g., debian #450854). To
avoid backwards compatibility problems, this release revert this
change, so that GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM works just like it has
done in GnuTLS 2.0.x and earlier, and add a new error code
GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM.
** Fixes several gtk-doc warnings.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM: CHANGED.

version 1 certificates.
** certtool: Add option --disable-quick-random to enable the old behaviour
of using /dev/random to generate keys.
** Added priority functions that accept strings.
** Added gnutls_set_default_priority2() which accepts a flag to indicate
priorities preferences.
** Added gnutls_record_disable_padding() to allow servers talking to
buggy clients that complain if the TLS 1.0 record protocol padding is
used.
** Introduced gnutls_session_enable_compatibility_mode() to allow enabling
all supported compatibility options (like disabling padding).
** The gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_* functions were modified to include
the format. This makes the interface consistent with the x509 functions.

* Version 2.1.3 (released 2007-10-17)
** TLS authorization support removed.
This technique may be patented in the future, and it is not of crucial
importance for the Internet community. After deliberation we have
concluded that the best thing we can do in this situation is to
encourage society not to adopt this technique. We have decided to
lead the way with our own actions.

* Version 2.1.1 (released 2007-09-24)
** Added support for Camellia cipher, thanks to Yoshisato YANAGISAWA.
Camellia is only enabled in GnuTLS if the installed libgcrypt has been
compiled with Camellia support. See the libgcrypt documentation on
how to enable it. Unconditionally disable it using the configure
option --disable-camellia. Fixes #1.
** Properly document in the NEWS file the API change in the last release.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.1.0 (released 2007-09-20)
** Support for draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt.
The support is disabled by default. Since no value has been allocated
by the IANA for this extension yet, you will need to provide one
yourself by invoking './configure --enable-opaque-prf-input=42'.
Fixes #2.
** Example code: Fix compilation flaw under MinGW.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_oprfi_callback_func: ADD, new typedef function prototype.

GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_USER_MAPPING_DATA: ADDED. To avoid that the
gnutls_supplemental_data_format_type_t enum type becomes empty.
* Version 2.0.1 (released 2007-09-20)
** New directory doc/credentials/ with test credentials.
This collects the test credentials from the web page and from src/.
The script gnutls-http-serv has also been moved to that directory.
** Update SRP extension type and cipher suite with official IANA values.
This breaks backwards compatibility with SRP in older versions of
GnuTLS, but this is intentional to speed up the adoption of the
official values. The old values we used were incorrect.
** Guile: Fix `x509-certificate-dn-oid'
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 2.0.0 (released 2007-09-04)
** Included copy of Libtasn1 upgraded to version 1.1.
** Disable building of some examples if anonymous ciphers are disabled.
** Don't build examples for disabled features.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 1.7.19 (released 2007-08-27)
** Fix gnutls_error_is_fatal so that positive "errors" are non-critical.
This solves connection problems in mutt, see
.
** Update gnulib files.
In particular, the getpass module -- with its dependencies on getline,
getdelim, fseeko etc -- where moved from the lgl/ (used by the core
library) directory to the gl/ directory (only used by the command line
tools). The reason is that getpass is now only used by the
command-line tools, and reducing the number of gnulib modules linked
to the core library helps portability and reduces size.
** Fix warnings.
** Disable building of PGP examples if PGP is disabled.
** Included copy of OpenCDK upgraded to version 0.6.4.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 1.7.18 (released 2007-08-16)
** Install images for the info manual.
This has a side effect of renaming the images. See
for
discussions on the approach chosen.
** Fix pointer mix to variables of different size.
Patch extracted from
.
** Fix warnings during build.
Thanks to Andreas Metzler .
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
* Version 1.7.17 (released 2007-08-15)
** New functions to perform external signing.
Set the signing callback function (of the gnutls_sign_func prototype)
using the gnutls_sign_callback_set function. In the callback, you may
find the new functions gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash and
gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sign_hash useful. A new function
gnutls_sign_callback_get is also added, to retrieve the function

comments and testing.
** New self test of client and server authenticated X.509 TLS sessions.
See tests/x509self.c and tests/x509signself.c. The latter also tests
the new external signing callback interface.
** New errors GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MIN..GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MAX.
These two actually describe the outer limits of a range of error codes
reserved to the application. All of the errors are treated as fatal
by the library (it has to since it doesn't know the semantics of the
error codes). This can be useful in callbacks, to signal some
application-specific error condition, which will usually eventually
cause some gnutls API to return the same error code as the callback,
which then can be inspected by the application. Note that error codes
are negative.
** gnutls_set_default_priority now disable TLS 1.2 by default.
The RFC is not released yet, and we're approaching a major release so
let's not enable it just yet.
** Fix namespace so that gnutls_*_t is used consistently.
Before, many places in the GnuTLS code used the old deprecated type
names without the '_t' suffix.
** Build fixes for Guile code.
Patch from Ludovic Courtes .
** More documentation fixes.
In particular, the section headings were modified for casing. By
Ludovic Courtes .
** Updated Polish and Swedish translations.
