67: <p>
68: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.4.
1.38 david 69: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus34.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 david 70: to 3.4.
71: <p>
72:
73: <ul>
74:
1.27 avsm 75: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the
76: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=elf">ELF</a>
77: executable format.
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
1.42 ! david 82: isolating code from data, and the CPU CS limit is used to impose a best
1.14 deraadt 83: effort limit on code execution.
1.1 david 84: <p>
85:
1.20 deraadt 86: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
87: on ELF platforms now loads libraries in a random order for
1.14 deraadt 88: greater resistance to attacks. The i386 architecture also maps libraries
1.28 avsm 89: into somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and
1.27 avsm 90: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">ProPolice</a>,
1.31 tedu 91: these changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an
92: application error, such as a buffer overflow.
1.1 david 93: <p>
94:
95: <li>A static bounds checker has been added to the compiler to perform basic
1.4 avsm 96: checks on functions which accept buffers and sizes. The checker aims to
1.8 david 97: find common mistakes in the use of library functions such as
1.4 avsm 98: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>
99: or <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sscanf">sscanf(3)</a>
100: without emitting any false positives. Running it over the source and ports
101: trees revealed over a hundred real bugs, which were fixed and submitted back
102: to the original authors where possible.
1.1 david 103: <p>
104:
1.20 deraadt 105: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented for the
106: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd">syslogd(8)</a>
1.21 david 107: daemon, making it much more robust against future errors. The child which
108: listens to network traffic now runs as a normal user and chroots itself,
109: while the parent process tracks the state of the child and performs
110: privileged operations on its behalf.
1.1 david 111: <p>
112:
113: <li>Many unsafe string functions have been removed from the kernel and userland
1.6 tedu 114: utilities. This audit is one of the most comprehensive OpenBSD has ever
115: done, with thousands of occurrences of
1.12 deraadt 116: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
117: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
118: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
1.8 david 119: and
1.12 deraadt 120: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 121: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.12 deraadt 122: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
123: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,

125: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsnprintf">vsnprintf(3)</a>,
126: and
127: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=asprintf">asprintf(3)</a>.
1.1 david 128: <p>
129:
1.31 tedu 130: <li>Many improvements to and bugs fixed in the
131: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
1.33 miod 132: ProPolice</a> stack protector. Several other code generation bugs
1.31 tedu 133: for RISC architectures fixed.
134: <p>
135:
1.13 david 136: <li><a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
137: ProPolice</a> stack protection has been enabled in the kernel as well.
1.1 david 138: <p>
139:
1.18 avsm 140: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented in the X server. The privileged
1.15 david 141: child process is responsible for the operations that can't be done after the
142: main process has switched to a non-privileged user. This greatly reduces the
143: potential damage that could be caused by malicious X clients, in case of
144: bugs in the X server.
145: <p>
146:
1.20 deraadt 147: <li>Emulation support for binary compatibility is now controlled via
1.24 avsm 148: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=8">sysctl(8)</a>.
1.19 tedu 149: Emulation is now disabled by default to limit exposure to malicious
150: binaries, and can be enabled in
151: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl.conf">
152: sysctl.conf(5)</a>.
1.16 tedu 153: <p>
154:
1.1 david 155: <li>Manual pages have been greatly cleaned up and improved.
156: <p>
157:
1.8 david 158: <li>The ports tree now supports building programs under
159: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace">
160: systrace(1)</a>, preventing the possibility of applications harming the
161: system at compile-time via trojaned configuration scripts or otherwise.
1.1 david 162: <p>
163:
1.25 avsm 164: <li>Symbol caching in
165: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
166: reduces the startup time of large applications.
1.23 tedu 167: <p>
168:
1.25 avsm 169: <li>More license fixes, including the removal of the advertising clause
1.6 tedu 170: for large parts of the source tree.
171: <p>

363: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
364: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
365: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

368: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
369: <ul>
370: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
371: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
372: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
373: <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppy34.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
374:
375: <p>
376: Use <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyB34.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
377: support, or <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyC34.fs</i> for better laptop support.
378:
379: <p>
1.2 david 380: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
381: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
1.1 david 382:
383: <p>
384: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
1.2 david 385: at <i>CD:/3.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
386: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
387: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
388: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
389: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
390: "rfd0a".

393: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
394: </pre></ul>
395:
396: <p>
1.2 david 397: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
398: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
399: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

432:
433: <p>
434: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.

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

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