52: <p>
53: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.4.
1.38 david 54: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus34.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 david 55: to 3.4.
56: <p>
57:
58: <ul>
59:
1.27 avsm 60: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the
1.57 ! sthen 61: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=elf">ELF</a>
1.27 avsm 62: executable format.
1.1 david 63: <p>
64:
1.6 tedu 65: <li>Further W^X improvements, including support for the i386 architecture.
66: Native i386 binaries have their executable segments rearranged to support
1.42 david 67: isolating code from data, and the CPU CS limit is used to impose a best
1.14 deraadt 68: effort limit on code execution.
1.1 david 69: <p>
70:
1.57 ! sthen 71: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
1.20 deraadt 72: on ELF platforms now loads libraries in a random order for
1.14 deraadt 73: greater resistance to attacks. The i386 architecture also maps libraries
1.28 avsm 74: into somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and
1.27 avsm 75: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">ProPolice</a>,
1.31 tedu 76: these changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an
77: application error, such as a buffer overflow.
1.1 david 78: <p>
79:
80: <li>A static bounds checker has been added to the compiler to perform basic
1.4 avsm 81: checks on functions which accept buffers and sizes. The checker aims to
1.8 david 82: find common mistakes in the use of library functions such as
1.57 ! sthen 83: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>
! 84: or <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sscanf">sscanf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 85: without emitting any false positives. Running it over the source and ports
86: trees revealed over a hundred real bugs, which were fixed and submitted back
87: to the original authors where possible.
1.1 david 88: <p>
89:
1.20 deraadt 90: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented for the
1.57 ! sthen 91: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=syslogd">syslogd(8)</a>
1.21 david 92: daemon, making it much more robust against future errors. The child which
93: listens to network traffic now runs as a normal user and chroots itself,
94: while the parent process tracks the state of the child and performs
95: privileged operations on its behalf.
1.1 david 96: <p>
97:
98: <li>Many unsafe string functions have been removed from the kernel and userland
1.6 tedu 99: utilities. This audit is one of the most comprehensive OpenBSD has ever
100: done, with thousands of occurrences of
1.57 ! sthen 101: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
! 102: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
! 103: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
1.8 david 104: and
1.57 ! sthen 105: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 106: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.57 ! sthen 107: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
! 108: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,
! 109: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=snprintf">snprintf(3)</a>,

1.12 deraadt 111: and

1.1 david 113: <p>
114:
1.31 tedu 115: <li>Many improvements to and bugs fixed in the
116: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
1.33 miod 117: ProPolice</a> stack protector. Several other code generation bugs
1.31 tedu 118: for RISC architectures fixed.
119: <p>
120:
1.13 david 121: <li><a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
122: ProPolice</a> stack protection has been enabled in the kernel as well.
1.1 david 123: <p>
124:
1.18 avsm 125: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented in the X server. The privileged
1.15 david 126: child process is responsible for the operations that can't be done after the
127: main process has switched to a non-privileged user. This greatly reduces the
128: potential damage that could be caused by malicious X clients, in case of
129: bugs in the X server.
130: <p>
131:
1.20 deraadt 132: <li>Emulation support for binary compatibility is now controlled via
1.57 ! sthen 133: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sysctl&sektion=8">sysctl(8)</a>.
1.19 tedu 134: Emulation is now disabled by default to limit exposure to malicious
135: binaries, and can be enabled in
1.57 ! sthen 136: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sysctl.conf">
1.19 tedu 137: sysctl.conf(5)</a>.
1.16 tedu 138: <p>
139:
1.1 david 140: <li>Manual pages have been greatly cleaned up and improved.
141: <p>
142:
1.8 david 143: <li>The ports tree now supports building programs under
1.57 ! sthen 144: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=systrace">
1.8 david 145: systrace(1)</a>, preventing the possibility of applications harming the
146: system at compile-time via trojaned configuration scripts or otherwise.
1.1 david 147: <p>
148:
1.25 avsm 149: <li>Symbol caching in
1.57 ! sthen 150: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
1.25 avsm 151: reduces the startup time of large applications.
1.23 tedu 152: <p>
153:
1.25 avsm 154: <li>More license fixes, including the removal of the advertising clause
1.6 tedu 155: for large parts of the source tree.
