OpenSSL 4.1.0
github.com167 points47 comments
OpenSSL 4.1.0 is a feature release that adds significant functionality, platform support, and performance optimizations. It introduces MSVC2013 build targets (VC-WIN32-MSVC2013 and VC-WIN64A-MSVC2013) to bridge C99 gaps in that compiler, drops Windows-on‑Itanium and Windows CE targets, and removes no-ecdsa/no-ecdh Configure options in favor of no-ec. Performance work includes optimized ML-DSA and ML-KEM NTT operations on ppc64le, optimized ML-DSA on x86_64, AVX-512 SHAKE x4 for ML-DSA, and AVX-512/VAES improvements for AES-CBC decryption. The tsget utility now uses Net::Curl::Easy (users should install that CPAN module before upgrading).
New protocol and platform features include DTLS 1.3 (RFC 9147) support, RFC 8701 GREASE, DTLS support in the SSL listener API, IKEv2 KDF support, and initial support for the Elbrus2000 (e2k) architecture. Several DTLS-related issues are flagged: receiving a DTLS 1.3 KeyUpdate currently drops outstanding post-handshake retransmissions (risking loss of NewSessionTicket), permanent receive failures on DTLS listeners can be reported incorrectly as SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ and mask errors from poll/accept, retryable write failures on nonblocking accepted DTLS connections can surface as SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL instead of SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE, and DTLS 1.3 servers can abort handshakes with unexpected_message if a client acknowledges the first flight before responding.
