<h3>Version 1.10.17, 1.10.17<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-10-17-1-10-17" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Address a side channel affecting modular exponentiation. An attacker
capabable of a local or cross-VM cache analysis attack may be able
to recover bits of secret exponents as used in RSA, DH, etc.
CVE-2017-14737</li>
<li>Workaround a miscompilation bug in GCC 7 on x86-32 affecting GOST-34.11
hash function. (GH #1192 #1148 #882)</li>
<li>Add SecureVector::data() function which returns the start of the
buffer. This makes it slightly simpler to support both 1.10 and 2.x
APIs in the same codebase.</li>
<li>When compiled by a C++11 (or later) compiler, a template typedef of
SecureVector, secure_vector, is added. In 2.x this class is a
std::vector with a custom allocator, so has a somewhat different
interface than SecureVector in 1.10. But this makes it slightly
simpler to support both 1.10 and 2.x APIs in the same codebase.</li>
<li>Fix a bug that prevented <cite>configure.py</cite> from running under Python3</li>
<li>Botan 1.10.x does not support the OpenSSL 1.1 API. Now the build
will <cite>#error</cite> if OpenSSL 1.1 is detected. Avoid <cite>–with-openssl</cite>
if compiling against 1.1 or later. (GH #753)</li>
<li>Import patches from Debian adding basic support for building on
aarch64, ppc64le, or1k, and mipsn32 platforms.</li>
</ul>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Fix a bug in X509 DN string comparisons that could result in out of bound
reads. This could result in information leakage, denial of service, or
potentially incorrect certificate validation results. (CVE-2017-2801)</li>
<li>Avoid throwing during a destructor since this is undefined in C++11
and rarely a good idea. (GH #930)</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Fix a bug causing modular exponentiations done modulo even numbers
to almost always be incorrect, unless the values were small. This
bug is not known to affect any cryptographic operation in Botan. (GH #754)</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>NOTE WELL: Botan 1.10.x is supported for security patches only until
2017-12-31</li>
<li>Fix integer overflow during BER decoding, found by Falko Strenzke.
This bug is not thought to be directly exploitable but upgrading ASAP
is advised. (CVE-2016-9132)</li>
<li>Fix two cases where (in error situations) an exception would be
thrown from a destructor, causing a call to std::terminate.</li>
<li>When RC4 is disabled in the build, also prevent it from being
included in the OpenSSL provider. (GH #638)</li>

<ul>
<li><p class="first">In 1.10.11, the check in PointGFp intended to check the affine y
argument actually checked the affine x again. Reported by Remi Gacogne</p>
<p>The CVE-2016-2195 overflow is not exploitable in 1.10.11 due to an
additional check in the multiplication function itself which was
also added in that release, so there are no security implications
from the missed check. However to avoid confusion the change was
pushed in a new release immediately.</p>

<ul class="simple">
<li>SECURITY: The BER decoder would crash due to reading from offset 0
of an empty vector if it encountered a BIT STRING which did not
contain any data at all. As the type requires a 1 byte field this is
not valid BER but could occur in malformed data. Found with afl.</li>
<li>SECURITY: The BER decoder would allocate a fairly arbitrary amount
of memory in a length field, even if there was no chance the read
request would succeed. This might cause the process to run out of
memory or invoke the OOM killer. Found with afl.</li>
<li>Due to an ABI incompatible (though not API incompatible) change in
this release, the version number of the shared object has been
increased.</li>
<li>The default TLS policy no longer allows RC4.</li>
<li>Fix a signed integer overflow in Blue Midnight Wish that may cause
incorrect computations or undefined behavior.</li>

<h3>Version 1.10.9, 2014-12-13<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-10-9-2014-12-13" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fixed EAX tag verification to run in constant time</li>
<li>The default TLS policy now disables SSLv3.</li>
<li>A crash could occur when reading from a blocking random device if
the device initially indicated that entropy was available but
a concurrent process drained the entropy pool before the
read was initiated.</li>
<li>Fix decoding indefinite length BER constructs that contain a context
sensitive tag of zero. Github pull 26 from Janusz Chorko.</li>
<li>The <cite>botan-config</cite> script previously tried to guess its prefix from
the location of the binary. However this was error prone, and now
the script assumes the final installation prefix matches the value
set during the build. Github issue 29.</li>

<h3>Version 1.10.8, 2014-04-10<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-10-8-2014-04-10" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fix a bug in primality testing introduced in 1.8.3 which caused only
a single random base, rather than a sequence of random bases, to be
used in the Miller-Rabin test. This increased the probability that a
non-prime would be accepted, for instance a 1024 bit number would be
incorrectly classed as prime with probability around 2^-40. Reported
by Jeff Marrison.</li>
<li>The key length limit on HMAC has been raised to 512 bytes, allowing
the use of very long passphrases with PBKDF2.</li>

<h3>Version 1.10.7, 2013-12-29<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-10-7-2013-12-29" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>OAEP had two bugs, one of which allowed it to be used even if the
key was too small, and the other of which would cause a crash during
decryption if the EME data was too large for the associated key.</li>

<h3>Version 1.10.6, 2013-11-10<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-10-6-2013-11-10" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The device reading entropy source now attempts to read from all
available devices. Previously it would break out early if a partial
read from a blocking source occured, not continuing to read from a
non-blocking device. This would cause the library to fall back on
slower and less reliable techniques for collecting PRNG seed
material. Reported by Rickard Bellgrim.</li>
<li>HMAC_RNG (the default PRNG implementation) now automatically reseeds
itself periodically. Previously reseeds only occured on explicit
application request.</li>
<li>Fix an encoding error in EC_Group when encoding using EC_DOMPAR_ENC_OID.
Reported by fxdupont on github.</li>
<li>In EMSA2 and Randpool, avoid calling name() on objects after deleting them if
the provided algorithm objects are not suitable for use. Found by Clang
analyzer, reported by Jeffrey Walton.</li>
<li>If X509_Store was copied, the u32bit containing how long to cache validation
results was not initialized, potentially causing results to be cached for
significant amounts of time. This could allow a certificate to be considered
valid after its issuing CA’s cert expired. Expiration of the end-entity cert
is always checked, and reading a CRL always causes the status to be reset, so
this issue does not affect revocation. Found by Coverity scanner.</li>
<li>Avoid off by one causing a potentially unterminated string to be passed to
the connect system call if the library was configured to use a very long path
name for the EGD socket. Found by Coverity Scanner.</li>
<li>In PK_Encryptor_EME, PK_Decryptor_EME, PK_Verifier, and PK_Key_Agreement,
avoid dereferencing an unitialized pointer if no engine supported operations
on the key object given. Found by Coverity scanner.</li>
<li>Avoid leaking a file descriptor in the /dev/random and EGD entropy sources if
stdin (file descriptor 0) was closed. Found by Coverity scanner.</li>
<li>Avoid a potentially undefined operation in the bit rotation operations. Not
known to have caused problems under any existing compiler, but might have
caused problems in the future. Caught by Clang sanitizer, reported by Jeffrey
Walton.</li>
<li>Increase default hash iterations from 10000 to 50000 in PBES1 and PBES2</li>
<li>Add a fix for mips64el builds from Brad Smith.</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>A potential crash in the AES-NI implementation of the AES-192 key
schedule (caused by misaligned loads) has been fixed.</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Avoid a conditional operation in the power mod implementations on if
a nibble of the exponent was zero or not. This may help protect
against certain forms of side channel attacks.</li>
<li>The SRP6 code was checking for invalid values as specified in RFC
5054, specifically values equal to zero mod p. However SRP would
accept negative A/B values, or ones larger than p, neither of which
should occur in a normal run of the protocol. These values are now
rejected. Credits to Timothy Prepscius for pointing out these values
are not normally used and probably signal something fishy.</li>
<li>The return value of version_string is now a compile time constant
string, so version information can be more easily extracted from
binaries.</li>

<li>A change in 1.10.2 accidentally broke ABI compatibility with 1.10.1

crash if linked with 1.10.2 at runtime.</li>
<li>Recent versions of OpenSSL include extra information in ECC private

<h3>Version 1.9.18, 2011-06-03<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-9-18-2011-06-03" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fourth release candidate for 1.10.0</li>
<li>The GOST 34.10 verification operation was not ensuring that s and r
were both greater than zero. This could potentially have meant it
would have accepted an invalid all-zero signature as valid for any
message. Due to how ECC points are internally represented it instead
resulted in an exception being thrown.</li>
<li>A simple multiexponentation algorithm is now used in ECDSA and
GOST-34.10 signature verification, leading to 20 to 25% improvements
in ECDSA and 25% to 40% improvements in GOST-34.10 verification
performance.</li>
<li>The internal representation of elliptic curve points has been
modified to use Montgomery representation exclusively, resulting in
reduced memory usage and a 10 to 20% performance improvement for
ECDSA and ECDH.</li>
<li>In OAEP decoding, scan for the delimiter bytes using a loop that is
written without conditionals so as to help avoid timing analysis.
Unfortunately GCC at least is ‘smart’ enough to compile it to
jumps anyway.</li>
<li>The SSE2 implementation of IDEA did not work correctly when compiled
by Clang, because the trick it used to emulate a 16 bit unsigned
compare in SSE (which doesn’t contain one natively) relied on signed
overflow working in the ‘usual’ way. A different method that doesn’t
rely on signed overflow is now used.</li>
<li>Add support for compiling SSL using Visual C++ 2010’s TR1
implementation.</li>
<li>Fix a bug under Visual C++ 2010 which would cause <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hex_encode</span></code> to
crash if given a zero-sized input to encode.</li>
<li>A new build option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--via-amalgamation</span></code> will first generate the
single-file amalgamation, then build the library from that single
file. This option requires a lot of memory and does not parallelize,
but the resulting library is smaller and may be faster.</li>
<li>On Unix, the library and header paths have been changed to allow
parallel installation of different versions of the library. Headers
are installed into <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><prefix>/include/botan-1.9/botan</span></code>, libraries
are named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libbotan-1.9</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">botan-config</span></code> is now namespaced
(so in this release <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">botan-config-1.9</span></code>). All of these embedded
versions will be 1.10 in the upcoming stable release.</li>
<li>The soname system has been modified. In this release the library
soname is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libbotan-1.9.so.0</span></code>, with the full library being named
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libbotan-1.9.so.0.18</span></code>. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">0</span></code> is the ABI version, and will be
incremented whenever a breaking ABI change is made.</li>
<li>TR1 support is not longer automatically assumed under older versions
of GCC</li>
<li>Functions for base64 decoding that work standalone (without needing
to use a pipe) have been added to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">base64.h</span></code></li>
<li>The function <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BigInt::to_u32bit</span></code> was inadvertently removed in 1.9.11
and has been added back.</li>
<li>The function <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BigInt::get_substring</span></code> did not work correctly with a
<em>length</em> argument of 32.</li>
<li>The implementation of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FD_ZERO</span></code> on Solaris uses <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">memset</span></code> and
assumes the caller included <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">string.h</span></code> on its behalf. Do so to
fix compilation in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dev_random</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unix_procs</span></code> entropy
sources. Patch from Jeremy C. Reed.</li>
<li>Add two different configuration targets for Atom, since some are
32-bit and some are 64-bit. The ‘atom’ target now refers to the
64-bit implementations, use ‘atom32’ to target the 32-bit
processors.</li>

<h3>Version 1.9.17, 2011-04-29<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-9-17-2011-04-29" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Third release candidate for 1.10.0</li>
<li>The format preserving encryption method currently available was
presented in the header <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fpe.h</span></code> and the functions <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fpe_encrypt</span></code>
and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fpe_decrypt</span></code>. These were renamed as it is likely that other
FPE schemes will be included in the future. The header is now
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fpe_fe1.h</span></code>, and the functions are named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fe1_encrypt</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fe1_decrypt</span></code>. See <a class="reference internal" href="fpe.html"><span class="doc">Format Preserving Encryption</span></a> for more information.</li>
<li>New options to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure.py</span></code> control what tools are used for
documentation generation. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--with-sphinx</span></code> option enables using
Sphinx to convert ReST into HTML; otherwise the ReST sources are
installed directly. If <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--with-doxygen</span></code> is used, Doxygen will run
as well. Documentation generation can be triggered via the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">docs</span></code>
target in the makefile; it will also be installed by the install
target on Unix.</li>
<li>A bug in 1.9.16 effectively disabled support for runtime CPU feature
detection on x86 under GCC in that release.</li>
<li>A mostly internal change, all references to “ia32” and “amd64” have
been changed to the vendor neutral and probably easier to understand
“x86-32” and “x86-64”. For instance, the “mp_amd64” module has been
renamed “mp_x86_64”, and the macro indicating x86-32 has changed
from <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BOTAN_TARGET_ARCH_IS_IA32</span></code> to
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BOTAN_TARGET_ARCH_IS_X86_32</span></code>. The classes calling assembly have
also been renamed.</li>
<li>Similiarly to the above change, the AES implemenations using the
AES-NI instruction set have been renamed from AES_XXX_Intel to
AES_XXX_NI.</li>
<li>Systems that are identified as <cite>sun4u</cite> will default to compiling for
32-bit SPARCv9 code rather than 64-bit. This matches the still
common convention for 32-bit SPARC userspaces. If you want 64-bit
code on such as system, use <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--cpu=sparc64</span></code>.</li>
<li>Some minor fixes for compiling botan under the BeOS
clone/continuation <a class="reference external" href="http://haiku-os.org">Haiku</a>.</li>
<li>Further updates to the documentation</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Second release candidate for 1.10.0</li>
<li>The documentation, previously written in LaTeX, is now in
reStructuredText suitable for processing by <a class="reference external" href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org">Sphinx</a>, which can generate nicely formatted
HTML and PDFs. The documentation has also been greatly updated and
expanded.</li>
<li>The class <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EC_Domain_Params</span></code> has been renamed <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EC_Group</span></code>, with a
typedef for backwards compatability.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EC_Group</span></code>‘s string constructor didn’t understand the standard
names like “secp160r1”, forcing use of the OIDs.</li>
<li>Two constructors for ECDSA private keys, the one that creates a new
random key, and the one that provides a preset private key as a
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BigInt</span></code>, have been merged. This matches the existing interface
for DSA and DH keys. If you previously used the version taking a
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BigInt</span></code> private key, you’ll have to additionally pass in a
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RandomNumberGenerator</span></code> object starting in this release.</li>
<li>It is now possible to create ECDH keys with a preset <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BigInt</span></code>
private key; previously no method for this was available.</li>
<li>The overload of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">generate_passhash9</span></code> that takes an explicit
algorithm identifier has been merged with the one that does not.
The algorithm identifier code has been moved from the second
parameter to the fourth. See <a class="reference internal" href="passhash.html#passhash9"><span class="std std-ref">Passhash9</span></a> for details.</li>
<li>Change shared library versioning to match the normal Unix
conventions. Instead of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libbotan-X.Y.Z.so</span></code>, the shared lib is
named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libbotan-X.Y.so.Z</span></code>; this allows the runtime linker to do
its runtime linky magic. It can be safely presumed that any change
in the major or minor version indicates ABI incompatability.</li>
<li>Remove the socket wrapper code; it was not actually used by anything
in the library, only in the examples, and you can use whatever kind
of (blocking) socket interface you like with the SSL/TLS code. It’s
available as socket.h in the examples directory if you want to use
it.</li>
<li>Disable the by-default ‘strong’ checking of private keys that are
loaded from storage. You can always request key material sanity
checking using Private_Key::check_key.</li>
<li>Bring back removed functions <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">min_keylength_of</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">max_keylength_of</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">keylength_multiple_of</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lookup.h</span></code> to
avoid breaking applications written against 1.8</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>First release candidate for 1.10.0</li>
<li>Modify how message expansion is done in SHA-256 and SHA-512.
Instead of expanding the entire message at the start, compute them
in the minimum number of registers. Values are computed 15 rounds
before they are needed. On a Core i7-860, GCC 4.5.2, went from 143
to 157 MiB/s in SHA-256, and 211 to 256 MiB/s in SHA-512.</li>
<li>Pipe will delete empty output queues as soon as they are no longer
needed, even if earlier messages still have data unread. However an
(empty) entry in a deque of pointers will remain until all prior
messages are completely emptied.</li>
<li>Avoid reading the SPARC <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">%tick</span></code> register on OpenBSD as unlike
Linux the kernel will not trap and emulate it for us, causing a
illegal instruction crash.</li>
<li>Improve detection and autoconfiguration for ARM processors.</li>
