66: <p>
67: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.4.
1.38 david 68: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus34.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 david 69: to 3.4.
70: <p>
71:
72: <ul>
73:
1.27 avsm 74: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the
75: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=elf">ELF</a>
76: executable format.
1.1 david 77: <p>
78:
1.6 tedu 79: <li>Further W^X improvements, including support for the i386 architecture.
80: Native i386 binaries have their executable segments rearranged to support
1.42 david 81: isolating code from data, and the CPU CS limit is used to impose a best
1.14 deraadt 82: effort limit on code execution.
1.1 david 83: <p>
84:
1.20 deraadt 85: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
86: 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
1.28 avsm 88: into somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and
1.27 avsm 89: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">ProPolice</a>,
1.31 tedu 90: these changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an
91: application error, such as a buffer overflow.
1.1 david 92: <p>
93:
94: <li>A static bounds checker has been added to the compiler to perform basic
1.4 avsm 95: checks on functions which accept buffers and sizes. The checker aims to
1.8 david 96: find common mistakes in the use of library functions such as
1.4 avsm 97: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>
98: or <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sscanf">sscanf(3)</a>
99: without emitting any false positives. Running it over the source and ports
100: trees revealed over a hundred real bugs, which were fixed and submitted back
101: to the original authors where possible.
1.1 david 102: <p>
103:
1.20 deraadt 104: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented for the
105: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd">syslogd(8)</a>
1.21 david 106: daemon, making it much more robust against future errors. The child which
107: listens to network traffic now runs as a normal user and chroots itself,
108: while the parent process tracks the state of the child and performs
109: privileged operations on its behalf.
1.1 david 110: <p>
111:
112: <li>Many unsafe string functions have been removed from the kernel and userland
1.6 tedu 113: utilities. This audit is one of the most comprehensive OpenBSD has ever
114: done, with thousands of occurrences of
1.12 deraadt 115: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
116: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
117: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
1.8 david 118: and
1.12 deraadt 119: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 120: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.12 deraadt 121: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
122: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,

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

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

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

1.2 david 396: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
397: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
