Cryptography

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Restored Windows 7 compatibility for our pre-built wheels. Note that we do
not test on Windows 7 and wheels for our next release will not support it.
Microsoft no longer provides support for Windows 7 and users are encouraged
to upgrade.

.. _v42-0-6:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Fixed compilation when using LibreSSL 3.9.1.

.. _v42-0-5:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Limit the number of name constraint checks that will be performed in
:mod:`X.509 path validation <cryptography.x509.verification>` to protect
against denial of service attacks.
* Upgrade ``pyo3`` version, which fixes building on PowerPC.

.. _v42-0-4:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Fixed a null-pointer-dereference and segfault that could occur when creating
a PKCS12 bundle. Credit to **Alexander-Programming** for reporting the
issue. **CVE-2024-26130**
* Fixed ASN.1 encoding for PKCS7/SMIME signed messages. The fields ``SMIMECapabilities``
and ``SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier`` should now be correctly encoded according to the
definitions in :rfc:`2633` :rfc:`3370`.

.. _v42-0-3:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Fixed an initialization issue that caused key loading failures for some
users.

.. _v42-0-2:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.2.1.
* Fixed an issue that prevented the use of Python buffer protocol objects in
``sign`` and ``verify`` methods on asymmetric keys.
* Fixed an issue with incorrect keyword-argument naming with ``EllipticCurvePrivateKey``
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePrivateKey.exchange`,
``X25519PrivateKey``
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.x25519.X25519PrivateKey.exchange`,
``X448PrivateKey``
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.x448.X448PrivateKey.exchange`,
and ``DHPrivateKey``
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dh.DHPrivateKey.exchange`.
