68: <p>
69: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.4.
70: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus.html">changelog</a> leading
71: to 3.4.
72: <p>
73:
74: <ul>
75:
1.13 david 76: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the ELF executable format so
77: i386 upgrades are not possible for this release.
1.1 david 78: <p>
79:
1.6 tedu 80: <li>Further W^X improvements, including support for the i386 architecture.
81: Native i386 binaries have their executable segments rearranged to support
1.14 deraadt 82: isolating code from data, and the cpu CS limit is used to impose a best
83: effort limit on code execution.
1.1 david 84: <p>
85:
1.6 tedu 86: <li>ld.so on ELF platforms now loads libraries in a random order for
1.14 deraadt 87: greater resistance to attacks. The i386 architecture also maps libraries
88: somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and ProPolice, these
89: changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an application
90: error, such as a buffer overflow.
1.1 david 91: <p>
92:
93: <li>A static bounds checker has been added to the compiler to perform basic
1.4 avsm 94: checks on functions which accept buffers and sizes. The checker aims to
1.8 david 95: find common mistakes in the use of library functions such as
1.4 avsm 96: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>
97: or <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sscanf">sscanf(3)</a>
98: without emitting any false positives. Running it over the source and ports
99: trees revealed over a hundred real bugs, which were fixed and submitted back
100: to the original authors where possible.
1.1 david 101: <p>
102:
1.6 tedu 103: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented for the syslog daemon, making
104: it much more robust against future errors. The child which listens to
105: network traffic now runs as a normal user and chroots itself, while the
106: parent process tracks the state of the child and performs privileged
107: operations on its behalf.
1.1 david 108: <p>
109:
110: <li>Many unsafe string functions have been removed from the kernel and userland
1.6 tedu 111: utilities. This audit is one of the most comprehensive OpenBSD has ever
112: done, with thousands of occurrences of
1.12 deraadt 113: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
114: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
115: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
1.8 david 116: and
1.12 deraadt 117: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 118: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.12 deraadt 119: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
120: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,

122: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsnprintf">vsnprintf(3)</a>,
123: and
124: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=asprintf">asprintf(3)</a>.
1.1 david 125: <p>
126:
1.13 david 127: <li><a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
128: ProPolice</a> stack protection has been enabled in the kernel as well.
1.1 david 129: <p>
130:
1.18 avsm 131: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented in the X server. The privileged
1.15 david 132: child process is responsible for the operations that can't be done after the
133: main process has switched to a non-privileged user. This greatly reduces the
134: potential damage that could be caused by malicious X clients, in case of
135: bugs in the X server.
136: <p>
137:
1.16 tedu 138: <li>Emulation support for binary compatibility is now controlled via sysctl.
1.19 ! tedu 139: Emulation is now disabled by default to limit exposure to malicious
! 140: binaries, and can be enabled in
! 141: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl.conf">
! 142: sysctl.conf(5)</a>.
1.16 tedu 143: <p>
144:
1.1 david 145: <li>Manual pages have been greatly cleaned up and improved.
146: <p>
147:
1.8 david 148: <li>The ports tree now supports building programs under
149: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace">
150: systrace(1)</a>, preventing the possibility of applications harming the
151: system at compile-time via trojaned configuration scripts or otherwise.
1.1 david 152: <p>
153:
1.3 jason 154: <li>More licenses fixes, including the removal of the advertising clause
1.6 tedu 155: for large parts of the source tree.
156: <p>
157:
1.11 deraadt 158: <li>Replacement of GNU diff/diff3, grep/egrep/fgrep/zgrep/zegrep/zfgrep,
159: and gzip/zcat/gunzip/gzcat/zcmp/zmore/zdiff/zforce/gzexe/znew
160: with BSD licensed equivalents.
1.6 tedu 161: <p>
162:
163: <li>Addition of read-only support for NTFS file systems.
164: <p>
165:
166: <li>Reliability improvements to layered file systems, enabling NULLFS to
167: work again.
168: <p>
169:
1.19 ! tedu 170: <li>Improvements to the Linux emulator enabling more applications to run.
1.6 tedu 171: <p>
172:
1.16 tedu 173: <li>Significant improvements to the pthread library.
174: <p>
175:
176: <li>Replace many static fd_set uses to poll() or dynamic allocation.
177: <p>
178:
1.13 david 179: <li>Legacy KerberosIV support has been removed, and the remaining KerberosV
180: codebase has been restructured for easier management.
1.3 jason 181: <p>
182:
1.13 david 183: <li>Over 2400 ports, 2200 pre-built packages.
1.1 david 184: <p>
185:
186: <li>A large number of bug fixes, changes, and optimizations to our packet filter
187: including:
188: <ul>
1.9 dhartmei 189: <li>packet tagging (e.g. filter on tags added by bridge based on MAC address)
1.10 frantzen 190: <li>stateful TCP normalization (prevent uptime calculation and NAT detection)
1.9 dhartmei 191: <li>passive OS detection (filter or redirect connections based on source OS)
192: <li>SYN proxy (protect servers against SYN flood attacks)
193: <li>adaptive state timeouts (prevent state table overflows under attack)
1.1 david 194: </ul>
195: <p>
196:
1.16 tedu 197: <li>Improved hardware support, including:
198: <ul>
199: <li>Kauai ATA controllers (Apple ATA100 wdc) enabling support for
200: Powerbook 12" and 17" models.

300: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
301: <ul>
302: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
303: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
304: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
305: <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppy34.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
306:
307: <p>
308: Use <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyB34.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
309: support, or <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyC34.fs</i> for better laptop support.
310:
311: <p>
1.2 david 312: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
313: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
1.1 david 314:
315: <p>
316: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
1.2 david 317: at <i>CD:/3.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
318: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
319: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
320: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
321: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

461: <ul>
462: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
463: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
464: in a separate archive. To extract:
465: <p>
466: <ul><pre>
467: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
468: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
469: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
470: </pre></ul>
471: <p>
472: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
473: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
474: To extract:
475: <p>
476: <ul><pre>
477: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
478: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
479: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
480: </pre></ul>
481: <p>
482: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
483: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
484: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
485: Using these files
486: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
487: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

493: <h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>

495: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
496: <p>
497: <ul><pre>
498: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
499: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
500: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
501: </pre></ul>
502: <p>
503: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
504: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
505: if you know nothing about ports
506: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
507: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
508: OpenBSD ports system.
509: <p>
510: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
511: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
512: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
513: on most architectures (over 2400 packages build on i386, for instance).
514: <p>
515: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
516: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
517: cvs(1)</a> if
518: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
519: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
520: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
521: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
522: like:
523: <p>
524: <ul><pre>
525: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_4</strong>
526: </pre></ul>
527: <p>
528: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
529: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
530: server.]
531: <p>
532: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
533: packages for the 3.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
534: <p>
535: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
536: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
537: place to know.
