### Changes between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 [14 Dec 2021]
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed carry bug in BN_mod_exp which may produce incorrect results on MIPS
|
||||
squaring procedure. Many EC algorithms are affected, including some of the
|
||||
TLS 1.3 default curves. Impact was not analyzed in detail, because the
|
||||
pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely and include reusing
|
||||
private keys. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result
|
||||
of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed
|
||||
likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very
|
||||
difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce information about
|
||||
a private key may be performed offline.
|
||||
The amount of resources required for such an attack would be significant.
|
||||
However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server would have
|
||||
to share the DH private key among multiple clients, which is no longer
|
||||
an option since CVE-2016-0701.
|
||||
The issue only affects OpenSSL on MIPS platforms.

* Fixed invalid handling of X509_verify_cert() internal errors in libssl
|
||||
Internally libssl in OpenSSL calls X509_verify_cert() on the client side to
|
||||
verify a certificate supplied by a server. That function may return a
