# SSL Release Notes

This document describes the changes made to the SSL application.

## SSL 11.5.3

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- TLS-1.3 certificate request now preserves the order of signature algorithms in certificate request extension to be in the servers preferred order, which might affect the choice made by some TLS clients.

  Own Id: OTP-20022 Aux Id: [GH-10694], [PR-10707], ERIERL-1305

[GH-10694]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/10694
[PR-10707]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/10707

### Improvements and New Features

- Document that setting transport protocol specific socket options is not generally expected to work for TLS and if it happens to work it comes with consequences that should be understood an accepted by the user. Also retain some backwards compatibility with such an option that happened to work to buy time for people to come up with better solutions.

  Own Id: OTP-20018 Aux Id: [PR-10809], ERIERL-1303

[PR-10809]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/10809

## SSL 11.5.2

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- TLS servers that have `early_data` disabled will no longer include the `early_data` extension in its session tickets.

  Own Id: OTP-19940 Aux Id: [PR-10583], [GH-10567]

- `ssl:connection_information/2` will now return correct information for TLS-1.2 session resumption.

  Own Id: OTP-19941 Aux Id: [PR-10586], [GH-10470]

- When performing renegotiation, in TLS-1.2 or earlier, \`max_frag_length\` will no longer be renegotiated. Instead, the connection will adhere to its originally negotiated value, and if a value was not negotiated it will not be negotiated.

  Own Id: OTP-19948 Aux Id: [PR-10599]

- The NSS Keylogging refactoring mixed up of Read and Write connection states, could cause wrong NSS keylog labels, or `{error, closed}` returned without keylog.

[PR-10723]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/10723
[GH-10698]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/10698

### Improvements and New Features

- Release applications, tests, and documentation are now placed in their respective directories. Source SBOM with more packages.
  
  A `make release` application places only the necessary code in the release folder. The main change is that the documentation and examples are not part of the release folder anymore.
  
  `make release_docs` places the documentation in the released code under the `doc` folder.
  
  `make release_tests` places the tests in their own directory. It used to be the case that some source code was mixed with the tests, and this should not happen anymore.
  
  The Software Bill of Materials places the examples folders as if they are part of the `SPDX-otp-<app>-doc` packge, instead of placing examples as if they were running source code.
  
  Overall, this change cleans up many things that were not quite correct by definition, and everything should still continue to work as expected. To test a release, one can still run `./Install -minimal \`pwd\`` and add the release to the `PATH`. After that, one can run tests as usual, going into the released tests directory, entering `test_server` and running the emulator.
  
  Improves the source Software-Bill-of-Materials
  
  - The improvements adds new SPDX relations for `asmjit` and `zlib` to be `optional_components_of` the Erlang/OTP project.
  - The `autoconf` scripts in `make` and `erts` have now been categorised as `build_tool_of` the Erlang/OTP project.
  - All remaining `configure`, `configure.ac`, `config.h.in`, `Makefile.in`, `Makefile.src`, `EMakefile`, and `GNUMakefile` are now part of a specific SPDX package with relation `build_tool_of` the Erlang/OTP project.

## SSL 11.2.5

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Avoid generating an internal alert for case that should have been an orderly shutdown by the supervisor.

  Own Id: OTP-19311 Aux Id: [PR-8980]

- If present, extended key-usage TLS (SSL) role check (`pk-clientAuth`, `pk-serverAuth`) should always be performed for peer-cert. An intermediate CA cert may relax the requirement if `AnyExtendedKeyUsage` purpose is present.
  
  In OTP-25.3.2.8, OTP-26.2 and OTP-27.0 these requirements became too relaxed. There where two problems, firstly the peer cert extension was only checked if it was marked critical, and secondly the CA cert check did not assert the relaxed `AnyExtendedKeyUsage` purpose.
  
  This could result in that certificates might be misused for purposes not intended by the certificate authority.
  
  Thanks to Bryan Paxton for reporting the issue.

[PR-8980]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/8980
[PR-9130]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/9130

### Improvements and New Features

- Back port certificate_authorities option for TLS-1.3 servers to pre TLS-1.3 servers to enable them to disable the sending of certificate authorities in their certificate request. This will have same affect as the the TLS-1.3 server option although it is handled by a different mechanism in these versions, where the functionality is described to be more of a guidance, although some pre TLS clients have proven to make it mandatory as in TLS-1.3 extension handling.

## SSL 11.2.4

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Refactor trying to also make some optimizations introduced a bug in signature algorithms checks in OTP-26.2.1. This could manifest itself in not being able to negotiate connections using certificates needing to use some TLS-1.2 compatibility legacy signature schemes.

## SSL 11.2.3

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Starting from TLS-1.3 some server handshake alerts might arrive after ssl:connection/2,3,4 has returned. If the socket is in active mode the controlling process will get the alert message, but passive sockets would only get {error, closed} on next call to ssl:recv/2,3 or ssl/setopts/2. Passive sockets calls will now return  {error,  error_alert()}  instead.

  Own Id: OTP-19236 Aux Id: [PR-8261]

- Servers configured to support only version (pre TLS-1.2) should ignore hello version extension, as it is an unknown extension to them, this will result in that new clients that do not support the old server version will get an insufficient security alert from the server and not a protocol version alert, this is consistent with how old servers not able to support higher protocol versions work.

[PR-8261]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/8261

## SSL 11.2.2

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- A race in the kTLS flavour of SSL distribution has been fixed so that `inet_drv.c` doesn't read ahead too much data, which could cause the kTLS encryption to be activated too late when some encrypted data had already been read into the `inet_drv.c` buffer as unencrypted.

### Improvements and New Features

- All TLS-1.3 terminations are now graceful (previous TLS version terminations already were).

  Own Id: OTP-17848

- It is now possible to use a verification fun of arity 4, giving the user fun access to both encoded and decoded versions of the certificate. This is desirable as a workaround for encoding errors preventing re-encoding from being reliable. This also saves some work load if the encoded version is needed.
  
  Note that calling `public_key:pkix_path_validation/3` with only decoded certs is not recommended, due to the decoding workarounds, although it will work as long as the workarounds are not needed.
  
  If the decoded version is needed before thecall to `m:public_key` it is recommend to use the combined_cert- type to avoid double decoding.  Note that the path validation algorithm itself always needs both the encoded and decoded versions of the certs.
  
  The ssl implementation will now benefit from using this function instead of emulating the verify_fun/4.

## SSL 11.1.4.6

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

* If present, extended key-usage TLS (SSL) role check (`pk-clientAuth`, `pk-serverAuth`) should always be performed for peer-cert. An intermediate CA cert may relax the requirement if `AnyExtendedKeyUsage` purpose is present.

  In OTP-25.3.2.8, OTP-26.2 and OTP-27.0 these requirements became too relaxed. There where two problems, firstly the peer cert extension was only checked if it was marked critical, and secondly the CA cert check did not assert the relaxed `AnyExtendedKeyUsage` purpose.

  This could result in that certificates might be misused for purposes not intended by the certificate authority.

- Replace size/1 with either tuple_size/1 or byte_size/1

  The [`size/1`](`size/1`) BIF is not optimized by the JIT, and its use can
  result in worse types for Dialyzer.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a tuple,
  [`tuple_size/1`](`tuple_size/1`) should always be preferred.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a binary,
  [`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`) should be preferred. However,
  [`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`) also accepts a bitstring (rounding up size to a
  whole number of bytes), so one must make sure that the call to `byte_size/` is
  preceded by a call to [`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`) to ensure that bitstrings
  are rejected. Note that the compiler removes redundant calls to
  [`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`), so if one is not sure whether previous code
  had made sure that the argument is a binary, it does not harm to add an
  [`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`) test immediately before the call to
  [`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`).

  Own Id: OTP-19311 Aux Id: PR-8980
* If present, extended key-usage TLS (SSL) role check (`pk-clientAuth`, `pk-serverAuth`) should always be performed for peer-cert. An intermediate CA cert may relax the requirement if `AnyExtendedKeyUsage` purpose is present.

  In OTP-25.3.2.8, OTP-26.2 and OTP-27.0 these requirements became too relaxed. There where two problems, firstly the peer cert extension was only checked if it was marked critical, and secondly the CA cert check did not assert the relaxed `AnyExtendedKeyUsage` purpose.

  This could result in that certificates might be misused for purposes not intended by the certificate authority.

  Thanks to Bryan Paxton for reporting the issue.

## SSL 10.9.1.6

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

* Starting from TLS-1.3 some server handshake alerts might arrive after ssl:connection/2,3,4 has returned. If the socket is in active mode the controlling process will get the alert message, but passive sockets would only get \{error, closed\} on next call to ssl:recv/2,3 or ssl/setopts/2. Passive sockets calls will now return \{error, error_alert()\} instead.

  Own Id: OTP-19236 Aux Id: PR-8261
* Servers configured to support only version (pre TLS-1.2) should ignore hello version extension, as it is an unknown extension to them, this will result in that new clients that do not support the old server version will get an insufficient security alert from the server and not a protocol version alert, this is consistent with how old servers not able to support higher protocol versions work.

  Own Id: OTP-19257 Aux Id: ERIERL-1131
* Correct timeout handling for termination code run for own alerts, so that intended timeout is used instead of falling back to OS TCP-stack timeout that is unreasonably long on some platforms.

  Own Id: OTP-19274 Aux Id: PR-8901

## SSL 10.9.1.5

* TLS-1.3 negotiation now uses SNI based options correctly instead of ignoring them.

  Own Id: OTP-19140

## SSL 10.9.1.4

  Own Id: OTP-19065 Aux Id: GH-8356, PR-8367

## SSL 10.9.1.3

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- ssl application will validate id-kp-serverAuth and id-kp-clientAuth extended
  key usage only in end entity certificates. public_key application will
  disallow "anyExtendedKeyUsage" for CA certificates that includes the extended
  key usage extension and marks it critical.

  Own Id: OTP-18739

- Add missing export for connection_info() API type.

  Own Id: OTP-18886

## SSL 10.9.1.2

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- The API function \`ssl:recv/3\` has been tightened to disallow negative
  length, which has never been documented to work, but was passed through and
  caused strange errors.

  Own Id: OTP-18700 Aux Id: GH-7507

- When a client initiated renegotiation was rejected and the client socket was
  in active mode the expected error message to the controlling process was not
  sent.

## SSL 10.9

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fixed that new `dtls` connections from the same client ip port combination
  works. If there is a process waiting for accept the new connection will
  connect to that, otherwise it will try to re-connect to the old server
  connection.

  Own Id: OTP-18371 Aux Id: GH-6160

- When shutting down a node that uses SSL distribution (`-proto_dist inet_tls`),
  a confusing error message about an unexpected process exit was printed. This
  particular message is no longer generated.

  Own Id: OTP-18443 Aux Id: PR-6810

### Improvements and New Features

- fixes the type spec for ssl:format_error/1

  Own Id: OTP-18366 Aux Id: PR-6565, GH-6506

- Replace size/1 with either tuple_size/1 or byte_size/1

  The [`size/1`](`size/1`) BIF is not optimized by the JIT, and its use can
  result in worse types for Dialyzer.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a tuple,
  [`tuple_size/1`](`tuple_size/1`) should always be preferred.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a binary,
  [`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`) should be preferred. However,
  [`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`) also accepts a bitstring (rounding up size to a
  whole number of bytes), so one must make sure that the call to `byte_size/` is
  preceded by a call to [`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`) to ensure that bitstrings
  are rejected. Note that the compiler removes redundant calls to
  [`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`), so if one is not sure whether previous code
  had made sure that the argument is a binary, it does not harm to add an
  [`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`) test immediately before the call to
  [`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`).

### Improvements and New Features

- Enhance warning message

  Own Id: OTP-18257 Aux Id: GH-6307

- Provide server option to make certificate_authorities extension in the TLS-1.3
  servers certificate request optional. This will allow clients to send
  incomplete chains that may be reconstructable and thereby verifiable by the
  server, but that would not adhere to the certificate_authorities extension.

  Own Id: OTP-18267 Aux Id: PR-6228, GH-6106

  versions. Also, handle TLS-1.3 middlebox compatibility with more care. This
  will make malicious connections fail early and further, mitigate possible DoS
  attacks, that would be caught by the handshake timeout.

  Own Id: OTP-18233 Aux Id: GH-6244, PR-6270

### Improvements and New Features

- A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected. It is registered as
  CVE-2022-37026 "Client Authentication Bypass". Corrections have been released
  on the supported tracks with patches 23.3.4.15, 24.3.4.2, and 25.0.2. The
  vulnerability might also exist in older OTP versions. We recommend that
  impacted users upgrade to one of these versions or later on the respective
  tracks. OTP 25.1 would be an even better choice. Impacted are those who are
  running an ssl/tls/dtls server using the ssl application either directly or
  indirectly via other applications. For example via inets (httpd), cowboy, etc.
  Note that the vulnerability only affects servers that request client
  certification, that is sets the option \{verify, verify_peer\}.

## SSL 10.2.2

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Avoid that upgrade (from TCP to TLS) servers starts multiple session cache
  handlers for the same server. This applies to Erlang distribution over TLS
  servers.

  Own Id: OTP-17139 Aux Id: ERL-1458, OTP-16239

- Legacy cipher suites defined before TLS-1.2 (but still supported) should be
  possible to use in TLS-1.2. They where accidentally excluded for available
  cipher suites for TLS-1.2 in OTP-23.2.2.

  Own Id: OTP-17174 Aux Id: ERIERL-597

### Improvements and New Features

## SSL 10.2.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fix CVE-2020-35733 this only affects ssl-10.2 (OTP-23.2). This vulnerability
  could enable a man in the middle attack using a fake chain to a known trusted
  ROOT. Also limits alternative chain handling, for handling of possibly
  extraneous certs, to improve memory management.

  Own Id: OTP-17098

### Improvements and New Features

- Add support for AES CCM based cipher suites defined in RFC 7251

  Also Correct cipher suite name conversion to OpenSSL names. A few names where
  corrected earlier in OTP-16267 For backwards compatible reasons we support
  usage of openSSL names for cipher suites. Mostly anonymous suites names where
  incorrect, but also some legacy suites.

  Own Id: OTP-17100

## SSL 10.2

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- SSL's Erlang Distribution Protocol modules inet_tls_dist and inet6_tls_dist

  session reuse.

  Own Id: OTP-17019 Aux Id: ERL-1412

### Improvements and New Features

- Handle extraneous certs in certificate chains as well as chains that are
  incomplete but can be reconstructed or unordered chains. The cert and certfile
  options will now accept a list of certificates so that the user may specify
  the chain explicitly.

  Also, the default value of the depth option has been increased to allow longer
  chains by default.

  Own Id: OTP-16277

- This change implements optional NSS-style keylog in
  ssl:connection_information/2 for debugging purposes.

  Own Id: OTP-16893

## SSL 10.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- If a passive socket is created, ssl:recv/2,3 is never called and then the peer
  closes the socket the controlling process will no longer receive an active
  close message.

  Own Id: OTP-16697 Aux Id: ERIERL-496

- Data deliver with ssl:recv/2,3 could fail for when using packet mode. This has
  been fixed by correcting the flow control handling of passive sockets when
  packet mode is used.

  client is configured to automatically handle session tickets
  (\{session_tickets, auto\}).

  Own Id: OTP-16765

- Fix the internal handling of options 'verify' and 'verify_fun'.

  This change fixes a vulnerability when setting the ssl option 'verify' to
  verify_peer in a continued handshake won't take any effect resulting in the

  Own Id: OTP-15855

- Experimental OCSP client support.

  Own Id: OTP-16448

- TLS 1.0 -TLS-1.2 sessions tables now have a absolute max value instead of
  using a shrinking mechanism when reaching the limit. To avoid out of memory
  problems under heavy load situations. Note that this change infers that
  implementations of ssl_session_cache_api needs to implement the size function
  (introduce in OTP 19) for session reuse to be optimally utilized.

  Own Id: OTP-16802 Aux Id: ERIERL-516

  enabled by default since OTP 19. Now all code to support it has been removed,
  that is SSL-3.0 protocol version can not be used and is considered invalid.

  \*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY \***

  Own Id: OTP-14790

- Added support for RSA-PSS signature schemes

  Own Id: OTP-15247

- Improve interoperability by implementing the middlebox compatibility mode.

  The middlebox compatibility mode makes the TLS 1.3 handshake look more like a
  TLS 1.2 handshake and increases the chance of successfully establishing TLS
  1.3 connections through legacy middleboxes.

  Own Id: OTP-15589

- Utilize new properties of
  [`erlang:dist_ctrl_get_data()`](`erlang:dist_ctrl_get_data/1`) for performance

## SSL 9.6.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Correct error handling when the partial_chain fun claims a certificate to be
  the trusted cert that is not part of the chain. This bug would hide the
  appropriate alert generating an "INTERNAL_ERROR" alert instead.

  Own Id: OTP-16567 Aux Id: ERIERL-481

## SSL 9.6

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Correct handling of TLS record limit in TLS-1.3. The max value differs from

  connection with unexpected msg.

  Own Id: OTP-16361

## SSL 9.5

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Corrected CRL handling which could cause CRL verification to fail. This could
  happen when the CRL distribution point explicitly specifies the CRL issuer,

  Own Id: OTP-14632

- An erlang TLS server configured with cipher suites using rsa key exchange, may
  be vulnerable to an Adaptive Chosen Ciphertext attack (AKA Bleichenbacher
  attack) against RSA, which when exploited, may result in plaintext recovery of
  encrypted messages and/or a Man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack, despite the
  attacker not having gained access to the server’s private key itself.
  [CVE-2017-1000385](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-1000385)

  Exploiting this vulnerability to perform plaintext recovery of encrypted
  messages will, in most practical cases, allow an attacker to read the
  plaintext only after the session has completed. Only TLS sessions established
  using RSA key exchange are vulnerable to this attack.

  Exploiting this vulnerability to conduct a MiTM attack requires the attacker
  to complete the initial attack, which may require thousands of server
  requests, during the handshake phase of the targeted session within the window
  of the configured handshake timeout. This attack may be conducted against any
  TLS session using RSA signatures, but only if cipher suites using RSA key
  exchange are also enabled on the server. The limited window of opportunity,
  limitations in bandwidth, and latency make this attack significantly more
  difficult to execute.

  RSA key exchange is enabled by default although least prioritized if server
  order is honored. For such a cipher suite to be chosen it must also be
  supported by the client and probably the only shared cipher suite.

  Captured TLS sessions encrypted with ephemeral cipher suites (DHE or ECDHE)
  are not at risk for subsequent decryption due to this vulnerability.

  As a workaround if default cipher suite configuration was used you can
  configure the server to not use vulnerable suites with the ciphers option like
  this:

  `{ciphers, [Suite || Suite <- ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,Suite) =/= rsa]}`

  that is your code will look somethingh like this:

  `ssl:listen(Port, [{ciphers, [Suite || Suite <- ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,S) =/= rsa]} | Options]).`

### Improvements and New Features

- TLS-1.2 clients will now always send hello messages on its own format, as
  opposed to earlier versions that will send the hello on the lowest supported

  but unlikely, this could cause a problem with older servers if they do not
  adhere to the RFC and ignore unknown extensions.

  order is honored. For such a cipher suite to be chosen it must also be
  supported by the client and probably the only shared cipher suite.

  Captured TLS sessions encrypted with ephemeral cipher suites (DHE or ECDHE)
  are not at risk for subsequent decryption due to this vulnerability.

  As a workaround if default cipher suite configuration was used you can
  configure the server to not use vulnerable suites with the ciphers option like
  this:

  `{ciphers, [Suite || Suite <- ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,Suite) =/= rsa]}`

  that is your code will look somethingh like this:

  `ssl:listen(Port, [{ciphers, [Suite || Suite <- ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,S) =/= rsa]} | Options]).`

## SSL 7.3.3.0.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- An erlang TLS server configured with cipher suites using rsa key exchange, may
  be vulnerable to an Adaptive Chosen Ciphertext attack (AKA Bleichenbacher
  attack) against RSA, which when exploited, may result in plaintext recovery of
  encrypted messages and/or a Man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack, despite the
  attacker not having gained access to the server’s private key itself.
  [CVE-2017-1000385](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-1000385)

  Exploiting this vulnerability to perform plaintext recovery of encrypted
  messages will, in most practical cases, allow an attacker to read the
  plaintext only after the session has completed. Only TLS sessions established
  using RSA key exchange are vulnerable to this attack.

  Exploiting this vulnerability to conduct a MiTM attack requires the attacker
  to complete the initial attack, which may require thousands of server
  requests, during the handshake phase of the targeted session within the window
  of the configured handshake timeout. This attack may be conducted against any
  TLS session using RSA signatures, but only if cipher suites using RSA key
  exchange are also enabled on the server. The limited window of opportunity,
  limitations in bandwidth, and latency make this attack significantly more
  difficult to execute.

  RSA key exchange is enabled by default although least prioritized if server
  order is honored. For such a cipher suite to be chosen it must also be
  supported by the client and probably the only shared cipher suite.

  Captured TLS sessions encrypted with ephemeral cipher suites (DHE or ECDHE)
  are not at risk for subsequent decryption due to this vulnerability.

  As a workaround if default cipher suite configuration was used you can
  configure the server to not use vulnerable suites with the ciphers option like
  this:

  `{ciphers, [Suite || Suite <- ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,Suite) =/= rsa]}`

  that is your code will look somethingh like this:

  `ssl:listen(Port, [{ciphers, [Suite || Suite <- ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,S) =/= rsa]} | Options]).`

  vulnerability.

- Make sure there is only one poller validator at a time for validating the
  session cache.

  Own Id: OTP-13185

- A timing related issue could cause ssl to hang, especially happened with newer
  versions of OpenSSL in combination with ECC ciphers.

  Own Id: OTP-13253

- Work around a race condition in the TLS distribution start.

  Own Id: OTP-13268

- Big handshake messages are now correctly fragmented in the TLS record layer.

  Own Id: OTP-13306

- Improve portability of ECC tests in Crypto and SSL for "exotic" OpenSSL
  versions.

  Own Id: OTP-13311

- Certificate extensions marked as critical are ignored when using verify_none

  Own Id: OTP-13377

- If a certificate doesn't contain a CRL Distribution Points extension, and the
  relevant CRL is not in the cache, and the `crl_check` option is not set to

  supported for plain TCP connections.

  Own Id: OTP-13285

- Use loopback as server option in TLS-distribution module

  Own Id: OTP-13300

- Verify certificate signature against original certificate binary.

  This avoids bugs due to encoding errors when re-encoding a decode certificate.
  As there exists several decode step and using of different ASN.1 specification
  this is a risk worth avoiding.

- Hibernation with small or a zero timeout will now work as expected

  Own Id: OTP-13189

### Improvements and New Features

- Add upper limit for session cache, configurable on ssl application level.

  If upper limit is reached, invalidate the current cache entries, e.i the
  session lifetime is the max time a session will be kept, but it may be
  invalidated earlier if the max limit for the table is reached. This will keep
  the ssl manager process well behaved, not exhusting memory. Invalidating the
  entries will incrementally empty the cache to make room for fresh sessions
  entries.

  always fail, potentially making the client session table grow a lot and
  causing long setup times.

  Own Id: OTP-12980

### Improvements and New Features

- Add possibility to downgrade an SSL/TLS connection to a tcp connection, and
  give back the socket control to a user process.

  This also adds the possibility to specify a timeout to the ssl:close function.

  Own Id: OTP-11397

- Add application setting to be able to change fatal alert shutdown timeout,
  also shorten the default timeout. The fatal alert timeout is the number of
  milliseconds between sending of a fatal alert and closing the connection.
  Waiting a little while improves the peers chances to properly receiving the
  alert so it may shutdown gracefully.

  Own Id: OTP-10362 Aux Id: kunagi-215 \[126]

- Remove default support for SSL-3.0, due to Poodle vunrability in protocol
  specification.

  Add padding check for TLS-1.0 to remove Poodle vunrability from TLS 1.0, also
  add the option padding_check. This option only affects TLS-1.0 connections and
  if set to false it disables the block cipher padding check to be able to
  interoperate with legacy software.

  Remove default support for RC4 cipher suites, as they are consider too weak.

  certification path according to RFC 3280.

  This will avoid some unnecessary certificate processing.

  Own Id: OTP-12449

### Improvements and New Features

- Separate client and server session cache internally.

  Avoid session table growth when client starts many connections in such a
  manner that many connections are started before session reuse is possible.
  Only save a new session in client if there is no equivalent session already
  stored.

  Own Id: OTP-11365

- The PEM cache is now validated by a background process, instead of always
  keeping it if it is small enough and clearing it otherwise. That strategy
  required that small caches where cleared by API function if a file changes on
  disk.

  However export the API function to clear the cache as it may still be useful.

  Own Id: OTP-12391

- Add padding check for TLS-1.0 to remove Poodle vulnerability from TLS 1.0,
  also add the option padding_check. This option only affects TLS-1.0
  connections and if set to false it disables the block cipher padding check to
  be able to interoperate with legacy software.

  \*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY \***

  Own Id: OTP-12420

- Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV used to prevent undesired TLS version
  downgrades. If used by a client that is vulnerable to the POODLE attack, and

  Own Id: OTP-11744

### Improvements and New Features

- Moved elliptic curve definition from the crypto NIF/OpenSSL into Erlang code,
  adds the RFC-5639 brainpool curves and makes TLS use them (RFC-7027).

  Thanks to Andreas Schultz

  Own Id: OTP-11578

- Unicode adaptations

  Own Id: OTP-11620

- Added option honor_cipher_order. This instructs the server to prefer its own
  cipher ordering rather than the client's and can help protect against things
  like BEAST while maintaining compatibility with clients which only support
  older ciphers.

  Thanks to Andrew Thompson for the implementation, and Andreas Schultz for the
  test cases.

  explicit use. It was not possible to set or disable the default
  server_name_indication as the validation of the option was missing.

  Own Id: OTP-11567

- Elliptic curve selection in server mode now properly selects a curve suggested
  by the client, if possible, and the fallback alternative is changed to a more
  widely supported curve.

## SSL 5.3.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Setopts during renegotiation caused the renegotiation to be unsuccessful.

  If calling setopts during a renegotiation the FSM state might change during
  the handling of the setopts messages, this is now handled correctly.

  Own Id: OTP-11228

- Now handles signature_algorithm field in digitally_signed properly with proper
  defaults. Prior to this change some elliptic curve cipher suites could fail
  reporting the error "bad certificate".

  Own Id: OTP-11229

- The code emulating the inet header option was changed in the belief that it
  made it inet compatible. However the testing is a bit hairy as the inet option
  is actually broken, now the tests are corrected and the header option should
  work in the same broken way as inet again, preferably use the bitsyntax
  instead.

  Own Id: OTP-11230

### Improvements and New Features

- Make the ssl manager name for erlang distribution over SSL/TLS relative to the
  module name of the ssl_manager.

  This can be beneficial when making tools that rename modules for internal

  Own Id: OTP-10955

- Fix ssl_connection to support reading proxy/chain certificates. Thanks to
  Valentin Kuznetsov.

  Own Id: OTP-10980

- Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas Schultz

  In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher suites in SSL/TLS,
  additions to handle elliptic curve infrastructure has been added to public_key
  and crypto.

  This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to gain consistency and
  remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP applications using crypto has been
  updated to use the new API.

  Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers equivalent security with
  smaller key sizes than other public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result
  in savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational cost that make ECC
  especially attractive for constrained environments.

  Own Id: OTP-11009

## SSL 5.2.1

### Improvements and New Features

- Transport callback handling is changed so that gen_tcp is treated as a special
  case where inet will be called directly for functions such as setopts, as
  gen_tcp does not have its own setopts. This will enable users to use the
  transport callback for other customizations such as websockets.

  Own Id: OTP-10847

- Follow up to OTP-10451 solved in ssl-5.2 R16A. Make sure format_error return

  Own Id: OTP-10586

- If an ssl server is restarted with new options and a client tries to reuse a
  session the server must make sure that it complies to the new options before
  agreeing to reuse it.

  Own Id: OTP-10595

- Now handles cleaning of CA-certificate database correctly so that there will
  be no memory leek, bug was introduced in ssl- 5.1 when changing implementation
  to increase parallel execution.

  Impact: Improved memory usage, especially if you have many different
  certificates and upgrade tcp-connections to TLS-connections.

  Own Id: OTP-10710

### Improvements and New Features

- Support Next Protocol Negotiation in TLS, thanks to Ben Murphy for the
  contribution.

  Impact: Could give performance benefit if used as it saves a round trip.

  Own Id: OTP-10361 Aux Id: kunagi-214 \[125]

- TLS 1.2 will now be the default TLS version if sufficient crypto support is
  available otherwise TLS 1.1 will be default.

  Impact: A default TLS connection will have higher security and hence it may be
  perceived as slower then before.

  Own Id: OTP-10425 Aux Id: kunagi-275 \[186]

- It is now possible to call controlling_process on a listen socket, same as in
  gen_tcp.

  Own Id: OTP-10447

- Remove filter mechanisms that made error messages backwards compatible with
  old ssl but hid information about what actually happened.

  This does not break the documented API however other reason terms may be
  returned, so code that matches on the reason part of \{error, Reason\} may
  fail.

  \*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY \***

  Own Id: OTP-10451 Aux Id: kunagi-270 \[181]

## SSL 5.1.2

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- ssl:ssl_accept/2 timeout is no longer ignored

  Own Id: OTP-10600

## SSL 5.1.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- ssl:recv/3 could "loose" data when the timeout occurs. If the timeout in
  ssl:connect or ssl:ssl_accept expired the ssl connection process was not
  terminated as it should, this due to gen_fsm:send_all_state_event timeout is a
  client side time out. These timouts are now handled by the gen_fsm-procss
  instead.

  Own Id: OTP-10569

### Improvements and New Features

- Better termination handling that avoids hanging.

  Own Id: OTP-10574

## SSL 5.1

  version.

  Own Id: OTP-8872

- Removed some bottlenecks increasing the applications parallelism especially
  for the client side.

  Own Id: OTP-10113

- Workaround for handling certificates that wrongly encode X509countryname in
  utf-8 when the actual value is a valid ASCCI value of length 2. Such
  certificates are accepted by many browsers such as Chrome and Fierfox so for
  interoperability reasons we will too.

  Own Id: OTP-10222

## SSL 5.0.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Robustness and improvement to distribution over SSL

  Fix a bug where ssl_tls_dist_proxy would crash at caller timeout. Fix a bug

## SSL 5.0

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Invalidation handling of sessions could cause the time_stamp field in the
  session record to be set to undefined crashing the session clean up process.
  This did not affect the connections but would result in that the session table
  would grow.

  Own Id: OTP-9696 Aux Id: seq11947

- Changed code to use ets:foldl and throw instead of ets:next traversal,
  avoiding the need to explicitly call ets:safe_fixtable. It was possible to get
  a badarg-crash under special circumstances.

  Own Id: OTP-9703 Aux Id: seq11947

- Send ssl_closed notification to active ssl user when a tcp error occurs.

  Own Id: OTP-9734 Aux Id: seq11946

- If a passive receive was ongoing during a renegotiation the process evaluating
  ssl:recv could be left hanging for ever.

  Own Id: OTP-9744

### Improvements and New Features

- Support for the old ssl implementation is dropped and the code is removed.

  Own Id: OTP-7048

- The erlang distribution can now be run over the new ssl implementation. All
  options can currently not be set but it is enough to replace to old ssl
  implementation.

  Own Id: OTP-7053

- Mitigates an SSL/TLS Computational DoS attack by disallowing the client to
  renegotiate many times in a row in a short time interval, thanks to Tuncer
  Ayaz for alerting us about this.

  Own Id: OTP-9739

- Implements the 1/n-1 splitting countermeasure to the Rizzo Duong BEAST attack,
  affects SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0. Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz for alerting us about this.

## SSL 4.1.6

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- replace "a ssl" with "an ssl" reindent pkix_path_validation/3 Trivial
  documentation fixes (Thanks to Christian von Roques )

  Own Id: OTP-9464

### Improvements and New Features

- Adds function clause to avoid denial of service attack. Thanks to Vinod for
  reporting this vulnerability.

  Own Id: OTP-9364

- Error handling code now takes care of inet:getopts/2 and inets:setopts/2
  crashes. Thanks to Richard Jones for reporting this.

  Own Id: OTP-9382

- Support explicit use of packet option httph and httph_bin

  Own Id: OTP-9461

- Decoding of hello extensions could fail to come to the correct conclusion due
  to an error in a binary match pattern. Thanks to Ben Murphy.

## SSL 4.1.5

### Improvements and New Features

- Calling gen_tcp:connect with option \{ip, \{127,0,0,1\}\} results in an exit
  with reason badarg. Neither SSL nor INETS This was not caught, resulting in
  crashes with incomprehensible reasons.

## SSL 4.1.3

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fixed error in cache-handling fix from ssl-4.1.2

  Own Id: OTP-9018 Aux Id: seq11739

- Verification of a critical extended_key_usage-extension corrected

  Own Id: OTP-9029 Aux Id: seq11541

## SSL 4.1.2

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- The ssl application caches certificate files, it will now invalidate cache
  entries if the diskfile is changed.

  Own Id: OTP-8965 Aux Id: seq11739

- Now runs the terminate function before returning from the call made by
  ssl:close/1, as before the caller of ssl:close/1 could get problems with the
  reuseaddr option.

  Own Id: OTP-8992

## SSL 4.1.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Correct handling of client certificate verify message When checking the client
  certificate verify message the server used the wrong algorithm identifier to
  determine the signing algorithm, causing a function clause error in the
  public_key application when the key-exchange algorithm and the public key
  algorithm of the client certificate happen to differ.

  Own Id: OTP-8897

### Improvements and New Features

- For testing purposes ssl now also support some anonymous cipher suites when
  explicitly configured to do so.

  Own Id: OTP-8870

- Sends an error alert instead of crashing if a crypto function for the selected
  cipher suite fails.

## SSL 4.1

### Improvements and New Features

- Updated ssl to ignore CA certs that violate the asn1-spec for a certificate,
  and updated public key asn1 spec to handle inherited DSS-params.

  Own Id: OTP-7884

- Changed ssl implementation to retain backwards compatibility for old option
  \{verify, 0\} that shall be equivalent to \{verify, verify_none\}, also
  separate the cases unknown ca and selfsigned peer cert, and restored return
  value of deprecated function public_key:pem_to_der/1.

  Own Id: OTP-8858

- Changed the verify fun so that it differentiate between the peer certificate
  and CA certificates by using valid_peer or valid as the second argument to the
  verify fun. It may not always be trivial or even possible to know when the
  peer certificate is reached otherwise.

  \*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY \***

## SSL 4.0.1

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- The server now verifies the client certificate verify message correctly,
  instead of causing a case-clause.

  Own Id: OTP-8721

- The client hello message now always include ALL available cipher suites (or
  those specified by the ciphers option). Previous implementation would filter
  them based on the client certificate key usage extension (such filtering only
  makes sense for the server certificate).

  Own Id: OTP-8772

- Fixed handling of the option \{mode, list\} that was broken for some packet
  types for instance line.

  Own Id: OTP-8785

- Empty packets were not delivered to the client.

  Own Id: OTP-8790

- Building in a source tree without prebuilt platform independent build results
  failed on the SSL examples when:

  - cross building. This has been solved by not building the SSL examples during
    a cross build.
  - building on Windows.

  Own Id: OTP-8791

- Fixed a handshake error which occurred on some ssl implementations.

  Own Id: OTP-8793

### Improvements and New Features

- Revise the public_key API - Cleaned up and documented the public_key API to
  make it useful for general use, also changed ssl to use the new API.

  Own Id: OTP-8722

- Added support for inputing certificates and keys directly in DER format these
  options will override the pem-file options if specified.

  Own Id: OTP-8723

- To gain interoperability ssl will not check for padding errors when using TLS
  1.0. It is first in TLS 1.1 that checking the padding is an requirement.

  Own Id: OTP-8740

- Changed the semantics of the verify_fun option in the ssl-application so that
  it takes care of both application handling of path validation errors and
  verification of application specific extensions. This means that it is now
  possible for the server application in verify_peer mode to handle path
  validation errors. This change moved some functionality earlier in ssl to the
  public_key application.

  Own Id: OTP-8770

- Added the functionality so that the verification fun will be called when a
  certificate is considered valid by the path validation to allow access to each
  certificate in the path to the user application. Also try to verify
  subject-AltName, if unable to verify it let the application verify it.

  Own Id: OTP-8825

## SSL 4.0

### Improvements and New Features

- New ssl now support client/server-certificates signed by dsa keys.

  Own Id: OTP-8587

- Ssl has now switched default implementation and removed deprecated certificate
  handling. All certificate handling is done by the public_key application.
