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

1.8 david 105: and
1.57 sthen 106: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 107: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.57 sthen 108: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
109: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,
110: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=snprintf">snprintf(3)</a>,
111: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=vsnprintf">vsnprintf(3)</a>,
1.12 deraadt 112: and

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