! 65:
1.1 david 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:
1.58 tb 74: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the
1.65 ! bentley 75: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/elf">ELF</a>
1.27 avsm 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:
1.65 ! bentley 85: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
1.20 deraadt 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
1.58 tb 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
1.65 ! bentley 97: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>
! 98: or <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sscanf">sscanf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 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
1.65 ! bentley 105: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/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
1.65 ! bentley 115: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
! 116: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
! 117: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
1.8 david 118: and
1.65 ! bentley 119: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 120: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.65 ! bentley 121: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
! 122: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,
! 123: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/snprintf">snprintf(3)</a>,
! 124: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/vsnprintf">vsnprintf(3)</a>,
1.12 deraadt 125: and
1.65 ! bentley 126: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/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
1.65 ! bentley 147: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.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
1.65 ! bentley 150: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.conf">
1.19 tedu 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
1.65 ! bentley 158: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/systrace">
1.8 david 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:
1.58 tb 163: <li>Symbol caching in
1.65 ! bentley 164: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
1.25 avsm 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.

1.1 david 333: <p>
334: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
335: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
336: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
337: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
338: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
339: purchased a CDROM instead.

1.1 david 372: <p>
373: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
374: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
375: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
376: <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppy34.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
377:
378: <p>
379: Use <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyB34.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
380: support, or <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyC34.fs</i> for better laptop support.
