65: <p>
66: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.4.
1.38 david 67: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus34.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 david 68: to 3.4.
69: <p>
70:
71: <ul>
72:
1.27 avsm 73: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the
74: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=elf">ELF</a>
75: executable format.
1.1 david 76: <p>
77:
1.6 tedu 78: <li>Further W^X improvements, including support for the i386 architecture.
79: Native i386 binaries have their executable segments rearranged to support
1.14 deraadt 80: isolating code from data, and the cpu CS limit is used to impose a best
81: effort limit on code execution.
1.1 david 82: <p>
83:
1.20 deraadt 84: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
85: on ELF platforms now loads libraries in a random order for
1.14 deraadt 86: greater resistance to attacks. The i386 architecture also maps libraries
1.28 avsm 87: into somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and
1.27 avsm 88: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">ProPolice</a>,
1.31 tedu 89: these changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an
90: application 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:
1.20 deraadt 103: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented for the
104: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd">syslogd(8)</a>
1.21 david 105: daemon, making it much more robust against future errors. The child which
106: listens to network traffic now runs as a normal user and chroots itself,
107: while the parent process tracks the state of the child and performs
108: privileged operations on its behalf.
1.1 david 109: <p>
110:
111: <li>Many unsafe string functions have been removed from the kernel and userland
1.6 tedu 112: utilities. This audit is one of the most comprehensive OpenBSD has ever
113: done, with thousands of occurrences of
1.12 deraadt 114: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
115: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
116: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
1.8 david 117: and
1.12 deraadt 118: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 119: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.12 deraadt 120: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
121: <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=snprintf">snprintf(3)</a>,
123: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsnprintf">vsnprintf(3)</a>,
124: and
125: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=asprintf">asprintf(3)</a>.
1.1 david 126: <p>
127:
1.31 tedu 128: <li>Many improvements to and bugs fixed in the
129: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
1.33 miod 130: ProPolice</a> stack protector. Several other code generation bugs
1.31 tedu 131: for RISC architectures fixed.
132: <p>
133:
1.13 david 134: <li><a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
135: ProPolice</a> stack protection has been enabled in the kernel as well.
1.1 david 136: <p>
137:
1.18 avsm 138: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented in the X server. The privileged
1.15 david 139: child process is responsible for the operations that can't be done after the
140: main process has switched to a non-privileged user. This greatly reduces the
141: potential damage that could be caused by malicious X clients, in case of
142: bugs in the X server.
143: <p>
144:
1.20 deraadt 145: <li>Emulation support for binary compatibility is now controlled via
1.24 avsm 146: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=8">sysctl(8)</a>.
1.19 tedu 147: Emulation is now disabled by default to limit exposure to malicious
148: binaries, and can be enabled in
149: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl.conf">
150: sysctl.conf(5)</a>.
1.16 tedu 151: <p>
152:
1.1 david 153: <li>Manual pages have been greatly cleaned up and improved.
154: <p>
155:
1.8 david 156: <li>The ports tree now supports building programs under
157: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace">
158: systrace(1)</a>, preventing the possibility of applications harming the
159: system at compile-time via trojaned configuration scripts or otherwise.
1.1 david 160: <p>
161:
1.25 avsm 162: <li>Symbol caching in
163: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
164: reduces the startup time of large applications.
1.23 tedu 165: <p>
166:
1.25 avsm 167: <li>More license fixes, including the removal of the advertising clause
1.6 tedu 168: for large parts of the source tree.

368: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
369: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
370: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
371: <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppy34.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
372:
373: <p>
374: Use <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyB34.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
375: support, or <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyC34.fs</i> for better laptop support.

379: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
1.1 david 380:
381: <p>
382: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
1.2 david 383: at <i>CD:/3.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
384: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
385: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
386: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
387: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
388: "rfd0a".

1.2 david 395: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

581: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
582: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
583: like:
584: <p>
585: <ul><pre>
586: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_4</strong>

589: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
590: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
591: server.]
592: <p>
593: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
594: packages for the 3.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
595: <p>
596: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
597: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
