There were longstanding issues with + OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for + RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server. + Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off" + pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e + server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is + not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server. + This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers + (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. + [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, + Steve Henson] + + *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in + RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded + SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically + supported. + + If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure + support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded + SSL_SESSION. + + The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket + protection in servers so again support should be possible + with no application modification. + + If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option + SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set. + + Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client + or server extensions to be examined. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name + extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now + have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an + additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be + stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the + SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's + server_name extension. + + New functions (subject to change): + + SSL_get_servername() + SSL_get_servername_type() + SSL_set_SSL_CTX() + + New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change): + + SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB + - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback() + SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG + - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg() + SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() + + openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option. + + openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...', + '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows + testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert' + and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName + negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by + default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal' + option. + + [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson] + + *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build. + [Steve Henson] + *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
