0.9.5: 2004-Sep-13
* 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.
* More support for recursive type definitions.
* Explicit support for ANY type decoding.
* Refactored tags processing code.
* Fixed constraints checking code: non-exploitable buffer overflow.
(Severity: medium, Security impact: low)
* Extended constraints support in parametrized types.
* Better support for parametrization and constraints handling.
* Better handling of recursive type definitions.
* More flexible subtype constraints handling, with relaxed
PER visibility rules for actual constraints checking code generator.
* Indirect references in constraints resolver code fixed.
* Avoided compilation warning on gcc 3.3.3 systems.
0.9.1: 2004-Aug-23
* Documentation updated: doc/asn1c-usage.pdf
* Fixed OBJECT IDENTIFIER human-readable printing.
Reported by <siden@ul-gsm.ru>.
* Reworked subtype constraints handling, aiming at PER-applicability.
* BOOLEAN and NULL are now implemented in terms of native int type.
* Compiler now links in only necessary skeleton files.
* Added support COMPONENTS OF construct.
* Numerous parser fixes and enhancements.
0.8.19: 2004-Aug-18
* Fixed BER encoder (problem encoding large tag values)
(Severity: medium, Security impact: low)
0.8.18: 2004-Aug-12
* Parser: fixed multiple IMPORTS problem (incorrect assertion).
* Parser: constraints extensibility parsing fix.
* Improved compiler output: duplicate #includes eliminated.
0.8.16: 2004-Jul-22
* Fixed application-level problem in SET OF/SEQUENCE OF array cleanup.
(Severity: medium, Security impact: low)
* Improved asn_GT2time() and added asn_time2{GT,UT}() functions.
* Fixed parser: memory leak in free_struct code for SET OF/SEQUENCE OF.
(Severity: high, Security impact: medium)
(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).
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
* Fixed compiler: the skip values for IMPLICIT tagging were broken
in some complex cases where one type is defined using another.
(Test case 46) (Severity: medium, Security impact: low).
* Added -fknown-extern-type command line parameter to asn1c.
* Removed -N command line flag and underlying functionality
to honor KISS principle.
* RELATIVE-OID and OBJECT IDENTIFIER encoders/decoders are not bound
anymore to an integer type of specific size (unsigned long). The
size of an integer must be provided explicitly.
See {OBJECT_IDENTIFIER|RELATIVE_OID}_{get|set}_arcs().
(Test case 44) (Severity: medium, Security impact: low).
in case of complex CHOICE descendants. Test case 44 created.
