0.9.20: 2006-Mar-06
* SET OF CHOICE, SEQUENCE OF CHOICE and a certain named S/O types
are represented differently in XER. THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
(Test case 70) (Severity: low; Security impact: low)
* asn1c: Removed -ftypes88 command line option.
* Started PER implementation. Somewhat experimental!
0.9.19: 2005-Oct-06
* A proper solution to circular references. No kludge flags
should be necessary anymore to produce reference-free code:
recursive dependencies are resolved automatically.
* Test cases 73 & 92 keep track of various circular references.
* Introduced compiler directives to allow finer control over the
generated code ("--<ASN1C...>--" in comments), (Test case 93).
* New feature for unber(1): -s <skip> bytes.

* Generating enumeration tables for BIT STRING types (Test case 89).
* Conditional INTEGER/ENUMERATED representation: long vs. INTEGER_t
type is chosen based on PER visible constraints (Test cases 90, 91).
* Union structures for CHOICE type are not anonymous anymore.
* Made unber(1) program more verbose: effective structure length is
now displayed as L="<n>" at the closing tag. (Test check-xxber.sh).
* Fixed unber(1)'s -1 switch for indefinite encoding length.
* New command line option for unber(1): -m to enable minimalistic mode.
0.9.17: 2005-Aug-07
* Tagging mode is implicitly IMPLICIT if AUTOMATIC TAGS is used, #30.6.
(Test cases 55, 86).
* Started to use extern "C" {} in skeleton headers.
* Introduced -finline-choice command line option to fix
yet another class of circular references.
0.9.16: 2005-July-04
* GeneralizedTime API now supports fractions of seconds.
Thanks to Bent Nicolaisen <[email protected]> for support.
* ASN.1 parser has been tweaked to allow parsing something like
"SEQUENCE----comment----", which is ambiguous for many reasons.
* XER decoder better handles not-yet-defined future extensions.
0.9.15: 2005-July-02
* Compiler now checks 64-bit overflows in constraints range handling
code. No effect on the code produced by the compiler.

* Empty tags to element map avoided.
* Compiled code GCC 4.x compatibility.
0.9.14: 2005-Apr-29

when no test directory was found).
0.9.13: 2005-Apr-24
* Added extra const qualifiers into the support code.
* More RFC variations supported in crfc2asn1.pl.
* Refined string values compatibility. (Test cases 77, 78).

ASN1-CHARACTER-MODULE) (Test case 80).
* Pretty-printing support for WITH COMPONENT[S]. (Test case 82).
* Streamed OCTET STRING decoding of large values: fixed allocation
problem introduced in 0.9.9. (Severity: high; Security impact: medium)
Reported by Yann Grossel <[email protected]>.
* Fixed BASIC-XER encoding of REAL numbers.
0.9.12: 2005-Mar-10
* Fixed a name clash in produced constraint checking code.
* #includes are now in single quotes (to solve a name
clash with system's <time.h> on a Win32 system).
* Small refinement of XML DTD generation (`asn1c -X`).
* Relaxed XER processing rules to skip extra whitespace
in some more places. It also skips XML comments (although
XML comments in XER are prohibited by X.693, #8.2.1).
(Test case 70) (Severity: medium; Security impact: none)
Reported by <[email protected]>.
* Constraints on primitive types being defined are now supported.
(Test case 74) (Severity: low; Security impact: none)

produced by the asn1c.
* Released -fno-include-deps to avoid #including non-critical
external dependencies.
* Compiler is taught to produce compilable code for yet another class
of circular ASN.1 type references.
* X.693:8.3.4 prohibits anything but SignedNumber; fixed XER codec.
* Fixed ENUMERATED identifier to value conversion in XER.
Reported by <[email protected]>.
* If the compiled file contents are the same as in already existing
file (left from previous compilation), the old file is retained.
This prevents thrashing `make` dependencies if amount of changes in
the original ASN.1 module(s) is small.
0.9.10: 2005-Feb-25
* Completed the XER XMLValueList encoding and decoding.
* Native integer type is now using "long".
* Fixed #1150856. Reported by <[email protected]>.
* Some WIN32 portability fixes.
0.9.9: 2005-Feb-22
* First release of XER (XML) decoding implementation (somewhat
experimental).

* Compiler now checks for duplicate ASN.1 types across modules.
0.9.8: 2005-Jan-17
* [NEW PLATFORM] Compiled and tested on Linux @ alpha64 (LP64).
Some code needed to be fixed regarding int-long conversions
(mostly inside the test suite), and floating point handling
code needed to be restructured to handle signalling NAN and
other floating point exceptions quietly. Smooth transition!
* [NEW PLATFORM] Compiled and tested on Sun Solaris 9 @ sparc.
Improved includes/defines of/for system headers.
* -X command line option added to asn1c to generate XML DTD.
* Empty SEQUENCE and SET clauses are now allowed.
* Removed confusion between &xNN; and &#xNN; in enber and unber.
* Removed order dependency in DEFAULT references to ENUMERATED
identifiers (./tests/68-*-OK.asn1).
* ber_dec_rval_t renamed into asn_dec_rval_t: more generality.
* Extensions in CHOICE types are properly marked as non-pointers
(Test case 59) (Severity: medium; Security impact: medium)
Reported by <[email protected]>.
* Tagged CHOICE type is now supported again.
(Test case 59) (Severity: low; Security impact: low)
Reported by <[email protected]>.
* Implemented der_encode_to_buffer() procedure.
0.9.7.1: 2004-Oct-12
* Fixed automatic tagging for extensions of compound types.
* Fixed ParametrizedReference parsing: {} are now recognized.
0.9.7: 2004-Oct-11
* Finished CXER implementation by adding SET and SET OF canonical
ordering support.
* Fixed unber(1) limits controlling logic.
* Removed C99'izm from the x509dump, now understood by older compilers.
* Enhanced UTF8String constraint validation, now it checks
for the minimal encoding length; API of UTF8String_length() changed.
* Fixed SEQUENCE dealing with premature termination of the
optionals-laden indefinite length structure. The code was previously
refusing to parse such structures.
* Fixed explicitly tagged ANY type encoding and decoding
(Severity: medium; Security impact: low).
* Fixed CHOICE code spin when indefinite length structures appear
in the extensions (Severity: medium; Security impact: medium).
Reported by <[email protected]>.
* BIT STRING now stores the number of unused octets in a separate field.
0.9.6: 2004-Sep-29
* Added several security firewalls: decoder's stack usage control
and the stricter checking of the TLV length.
* Implemented BASIC-XER encoding support (X.693).
* Implemented unber(1) and enber(1) for BER<->XML translation.
* Implemented CGI for online ASN.1 compilation (asn1c/webcgi).
* Implemented the sample X.509 decoder (./examples/sample.source.PKIX1).
* NamedType is now supported for SET OF/SEQUENCE OF type.
* Added -fno-constraints option to asn1c, which disabled generation of
ASN.1 subtype constraints checking code.
* Added ASN1C_ENVIRONMENT_VERSION and get_asn1c_environment_version().
* Fixed ANY type decoding (Severity: high; Security impact: low).
* Fixed BER decoder restartability problem with certain primitive
types (BOOLEAN, INTEGER, and REAL). The problem occured when the
encoding of such type is split between several bytes.
(Severity: high; Security impact: low)
* Support for cross-referencing type definitions (updated ./tests/43-*).
* Fixed pretty-printing of the REAL type. Added lots of test cases.
* Renamed asn1_* into asn_* in function and type names.
* Updated documentation.
0.9.5: 2004-Sep-17
* Fixed CER (common BER) decoder code. See check-25.c/VisibleString
case for details. X.690 specifies that inner structures in BER
encoding must be tagged by stripping off the outer tag for each
subsequent containment level. See also X.690: 8.21.5.4 and
the "Spouse" case in A.3.
(Severity: medium; Security impact: low)
* Added converters between any generic type and the ANY type.
* Parser fixed: Information Object Class fields may be taged.
* Parser fixed: tagged types inside SEQUENCE OF/SET OF support.
* Improved DEFAULT Value parsing and pretty-printing.
* Condition on distinct tags checker was incorrectly dealing with
tagged CHOICE types. Fixed. Modified tests/37-indirect-choice-OK.asn1
* Improved type name generation code ("struct foo" vs "foo_t").
* Fixed constraint checking code incorrectly dealing with imported
types with constraint values defined in other modules.
* Real REAL support! (Haven't tested denormals support yet!)

* Fixed parser: memory leak in free_struct code for SET OF/SEQUENCE OF.
(Severity: high; Security impact: medium)
* Fixed parser: invalid memory reference in code constructing tags.
(Test case 48) (Severity: high; Security impact: medium)
When encoding data for certain ASN.1 specifications containing
explicit tags, the tag is always written incorrectly due to
incorrect memory reference. The encoding will almost always produce
unparseable data and might well reference unmapped region so program
would produce segmentation violation. Fortunately, memory is
read, not written, so remote exploits cannot execute arbitrary
code and triggering unmapped memory reference is highly unlikely
even it attacker knows the code (basically, the compiler should place
asn1_DEF_... right before the end of the mapped memory region, which
is extremely rare).
* Improved INTEGER type printing.
0.8.14: 2004-Jun-30
* Fixed compiler: extensibility of CHOICE and SET type has not been
taken into account during table construction.
(Test case 47) (Severity: high; Security impact: low)
0.8.13: 2004-Jun-29

(Test case 44) (Severity: medium; Security impact: low).
0.8.11: 2004-Jun-05

0.8.8: 2004-May-09
* Introduced subtype constraints support (incomplete!).
* Fixed compiler. If the last member of the SEQUENCE is OPTIONAL
and absent in the encoding, and the type is extensible (...) or
EXTENSIBILITY IMPLIED flag is set, then the structure could not
be correctly decoded. (Severity: high; Security impact: low).
* Compiler: fixed recursive ASN.1 types inclusion (Severity: low,
Security impact: none).
* Parser: IMPORTS/FROM fixes, now allowing multiple sections.
* NEW PLATFORM: Compiled and tested on MacOS X (@ PowerPC).
No major portability issues experienced.
0.8.7: 2004-Apr-11 T-version-0-8-7

=== Bug importance disclosure terms ===
SEVERITY.
This term applies to the frequence the particular construct is used
in the real world. The higher the frequency, the more chances of triggering
this bug.
low: The ASN.1 specifications which could trigger
this kind of bug are not widespread.
medium: The particular ASN.1 construct is used quite often,
so the chance of triggering an error is considerable.
high: This fix is considered urgent, or the particular ASN.1
construct triggering this bug is in wide use.
SECURITY IMPACT.
This term applies to the amount of potential damage a bug exploitation
could cause.
none: No malicious exploitation is possible.
low: The local exploitation is unlikely; the remote exploitation
is not possible.
medium: The remote exploitation is possible when a particular ASN.1
construct is being used. If possible, only hard failure, spin
or memory leak are the possible outcome: no shellcode
injection could possibly be carried by the attack.
high: The remote shellcode injection is possible, or the bug is
otherwise remotely exploitable for most specifications.
