54: <h3><font color="#0000e0">What's New</font></h3>
55: <p>
56: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.4.
1.38 david 57: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus34.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 david 58: to 3.4.
59: <p>
60:
61: <ul>
62:
1.27 avsm 63: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the
64: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=elf">ELF</a>
65: executable format.
1.1 david 66: <p>
67:
1.6 tedu 68: <li>Further W^X improvements, including support for the i386 architecture.
69: Native i386 binaries have their executable segments rearranged to support
1.42 david 70: isolating code from data, and the CPU CS limit is used to impose a best
1.14 deraadt 71: effort limit on code execution.
1.1 david 72: <p>
73:
1.20 deraadt 74: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
75: on ELF platforms now loads libraries in a random order for
1.14 deraadt 76: greater resistance to attacks. The i386 architecture also maps libraries
1.28 avsm 77: into somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and
1.27 avsm 78: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">ProPolice</a>,
1.31 tedu 79: these changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an
80: application error, such as a buffer overflow.
1.1 david 81: <p>
82:
83: <li>A static bounds checker has been added to the compiler to perform basic
1.4 avsm 84: checks on functions which accept buffers and sizes. The checker aims to
1.8 david 85: find common mistakes in the use of library functions such as
1.4 avsm 86: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>
87: or <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sscanf">sscanf(3)</a>
88: without emitting any false positives. Running it over the source and ports
89: trees revealed over a hundred real bugs, which were fixed and submitted back
90: to the original authors where possible.
1.1 david 91: <p>
92:
1.20 deraadt 93: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented for the
94: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd">syslogd(8)</a>
1.21 david 95: daemon, making it much more robust against future errors. The child which
96: listens to network traffic now runs as a normal user and chroots itself,
97: while the parent process tracks the state of the child and performs
98: privileged operations on its behalf.
1.1 david 99: <p>
100:
101: <li>Many unsafe string functions have been removed from the kernel and userland
1.6 tedu 102: utilities. This audit is one of the most comprehensive OpenBSD has ever
103: done, with thousands of occurrences of
1.12 deraadt 104: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
105: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
106: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
1.8 david 107: and
1.12 deraadt 108: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 109: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.12 deraadt 110: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
111: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,
112: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=snprintf">snprintf(3)</a>,
113: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsnprintf">vsnprintf(3)</a>,
114: and
115: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=asprintf">asprintf(3)</a>.
1.1 david 116: <p>
117:
1.31 tedu 118: <li>Many improvements to and bugs fixed in the
119: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
1.33 miod 120: ProPolice</a> stack protector. Several other code generation bugs
1.31 tedu 121: for RISC architectures fixed.
122: <p>
123:
1.13 david 124: <li><a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
125: ProPolice</a> stack protection has been enabled in the kernel as well.
1.1 david 126: <p>
127:
1.18 avsm 128: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented in the X server. The privileged
1.15 david 129: child process is responsible for the operations that can't be done after the
130: main process has switched to a non-privileged user. This greatly reduces the
131: potential damage that could be caused by malicious X clients, in case of
132: bugs in the X server.
133: <p>
134:
1.20 deraadt 135: <li>Emulation support for binary compatibility is now controlled via
1.24 avsm 136: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=8">sysctl(8)</a>.
1.19 tedu 137: Emulation is now disabled by default to limit exposure to malicious
138: binaries, and can be enabled in
139: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl.conf">
140: sysctl.conf(5)</a>.
1.16 tedu 141: <p>
142:
1.1 david 143: <li>Manual pages have been greatly cleaned up and improved.
144: <p>
145:
1.8 david 146: <li>The ports tree now supports building programs under
147: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace">
148: systrace(1)</a>, preventing the possibility of applications harming the
149: system at compile-time via trojaned configuration scripts or otherwise.
1.1 david 150: <p>
151:
1.25 avsm 152: <li>Symbol caching in
153: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
154: reduces the startup time of large applications.
1.23 tedu 155: <p>
156:
1.25 avsm 157: <li>More license fixes, including the removal of the advertising clause
1.6 tedu 158: for large parts of the source tree.
159: <p>

182: <p>
183:

186: file systems.
187: <p>

358: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
359: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
360: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
361: <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppy34.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
362:
363: <p>
364: Use <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyB34.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
365: support, or <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyC34.fs</i> for better laptop support.

369: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
1.1 david 370:
371: <p>
372: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
1.2 david 373: at <i>CD:/3.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
374: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
375: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
376: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
377: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
