69: <p>
70: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.3.
1.18 deraadt 71: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus33.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 miod 72: to 3.3.
73: <p>
74:
75: <ul>
76: <li>Integration of the
1.30 david 77: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">ProPolice</a>
1.26 deraadt 78: stack protection technology, by Hiroaki Etoh, into the system
79: compiler. This protection is enabled by default. With this change,
80: function prologues are modified to rearrange the stack: a random
81: canary is placed before the return address, and buffer variables are
82: moved closer to the canary so that regular variables are below, and
83: harder to smash. The function epilogue then checks if the canary is
84: still intact. If it is not, the process is terminated. This change
85: makes it very hard for an attacker to modify the return address used
86: when returning from a function.
1.2 deraadt 87: <p>
1.1 miod 88:
1.22 deraadt 89: <li>W^X (pronounced: "W xor X") on architectures capable of
1.10 deraadt 90: pure execute-bit support in the MMU (sparc, sparc64, alpha,
91: hppa). This is a fine-grained memory permissions layout, ensuring that
92: memory which can be written to by application programs can not be
1.22 deraadt 93: executable at the same time and vice versa. This raises the bar on
94: potential buffer overflows and other attacks: as a result, an attacker
95: is unable to write code anywhere in memory where it can be executed.
1.26 deraadt 96: (NOTE: i386 and powerpc do not support W^X in 3.3; however, 3.3-current
97: already supports it on i386, and both these processors are expected to
98: support this change in 3.4).
1.1 miod 99: <p>
100:
1.2 deraadt 101: <li>Still more reduction in setuid and setgid binaries, and more chroot
1.22 deraadt 102: use throughout the system. While some programs are still setuid or
103: setgid, almost all of them grab a resource and then quickly revoke
104: privilege.
1.1 miod 105: <p>
106:
1.22 deraadt 107: <li>The X window server and xconsole now use privilege separation,
108: for better security. Also, xterm has been modified to do privilege
109: revocation. xdm runs as a special user and group, to further constrain
110: what might go wrong.
1.1 miod 111: <p>
112:
113: <li>As usual, improvements to the documentation, notably the man pages and
1.7 jsyn 114: the Web FAQ. An increasingly large part of the website is available in several
1.1 miod 115: languages.
116: <p>
117:
118: <li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
119: setuid/setgid ports have been significantly reduced as well. Many of the
120: ones that remain setuid have been modified to revoke privileges as early
121: as possible.
122: <p>
123:
124: <li>Over 2000 pre-built and tested packages.
125: <p>
126:
127: <li>Significant improvements to the pthread library.
128: <p>
129:
130: <li>An incredible amount of enhancements and stability improvements to
131: our packet filter, <a
132: href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf</a>,
1.8 henning 133: including:
1.1 miod 134: <ul>
1.17 deraadt 135: <li>Queue, a bandwidth management system (uses altq underneath)
136: <li>Anchors, allowing subrulesets which can be loaded and modified independently
137: <li>Tables, a very efficient way for large address lists in rules
138: <li>Address pools, redirect/NAT to multiple addresses and thus load balancing
139: <li>Configuration language has been made much more flexible
140: <li>TCP window scaling support
141: <li>Full CIDR support
142: <li>Early checksum verification return on invalid packets
143: <li>Performance boost: large rulesets load much faster now
1.22 deraadt 144: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd">spamd</a>,
145: a spam deferral daemon, which SMTP connections can be redirected to.
146: This daemon handles connections based on black lists and white lists,
147: tar-pits the connections, and ensures that the spammer knows why their
148: mail has not been accepted.
1.1 miod 149: </ul>
1.11 jason 150:
151: <p>
152:
153: <li>Much improved <a href="sparc64.html">sparc64</a> support: support for

227: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
228: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
229: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
230: <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppy33.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
231:
232: <p>
233: Use <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppyB33.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
234: support, or <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppyC33.fs</i> for better laptop support.
235:
236: <p>
237: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
238:
239: <p>
240: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
241: at <i>CD:/3.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".
