3.3.2

Not secure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* **SECURITY ISSUE:** Fixed a bug where certain sequences of ``update()`` calls
when symmetrically encrypting very large payloads (>2GB) could result in an
integer overflow, leading to buffer overflows. *CVE-2020-36242* **Update:**
This fix is a workaround for *CVE-2021-23840* in OpenSSL, fixed in OpenSSL
1.1.1j.

.. _v3-3-1:

3.3.1

Not secure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Re-added a legacy symbol causing problems for older ``pyOpenSSL`` users.

.. _v3-3:

3.3

Not secure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** Support for Python 3.5 has been removed due to
low usage and maintenance burden.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** The
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.modes.GCM` and
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.AESGCM` now require
64-bit to 1024-bit (8 byte to 128 byte) initialization vectors. This change
is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that will no longer support
sizes outside this window.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** When deserializing asymmetric keys we now
raise ``ValueError`` rather than ``UnsupportedAlgorithm`` when an
unsupported cipher is used. This change is to conform with an upcoming
OpenSSL release that will no longer distinguish between error types.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** We no longer allow loading of finite field
Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to
conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller
sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used
in any application outside of testing.
* Updated Windows, macOS, and ``manylinux`` wheels to be compiled with
OpenSSL 1.1.1i.
* Python 2 support is deprecated in ``cryptography``. This is the last release
that will support Python 2.
* Added the
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.RSAPublicKey.recover_data_from_signature`
function to
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.RSAPublicKey`
for recovering the signed data from an RSA signature.

.. _v3-2-1:

3.2.1

Not secure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Disable blinding on RSA public keys to address an error with some versions
of OpenSSL.

.. _v3-2:

3.2

Not secure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* **SECURITY ISSUE:** Attempted to make RSA PKCS1v1.5 decryption more constant
time, to protect against Bleichenbacher vulnerabilities. Due to limitations
imposed by our API, we cannot completely mitigate this vulnerability and a
future release will contain a new API which is designed to be resilient to
these for contexts where it is required. Credit to **Hubert Kario** for
reporting the issue. *CVE-2020-25659*
* Support for OpenSSL 1.0.2 has been removed. Users on older version of OpenSSL
will need to upgrade.
* Added basic support for PKCS7 signing (including SMIME) via
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs7.PKCS7SignatureBuilder`.

.. _v3-1-1:

3.1.1

Not secure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Updated Windows, macOS, and ``manylinux`` wheels to be compiled with
OpenSSL 1.1.1h.

.. _v3-1:
