50: <h3>What's New</h3>
1.1 david 51: <p>
52: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.4.
1.38 david 53: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus34.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 david 54: to 3.4.
55: <p>
56:
57: <ul>
58:
1.58 tb 59: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the
1.65 bentley 60: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/elf">ELF</a>
1.27 avsm 61: executable format.
1.1 david 62: <p>
63:
1.6 tedu 64: <li>Further W^X improvements, including support for the i386 architecture.
65: Native i386 binaries have their executable segments rearranged to support
1.42 david 66: isolating code from data, and the CPU CS limit is used to impose a best
1.14 deraadt 67: effort limit on code execution.
1.1 david 68: <p>
69:
1.65 bentley 70: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
1.20 deraadt 71: on ELF platforms now loads libraries in a random order for
1.14 deraadt 72: greater resistance to attacks. The i386 architecture also maps libraries
1.58 tb 73: into somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and
1.27 avsm 74: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">ProPolice</a>,
1.31 tedu 75: these changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an
76: application error, such as a buffer overflow.
1.1 david 77: <p>
78:
79: <li>A static bounds checker has been added to the compiler to perform basic
1.4 avsm 80: checks on functions which accept buffers and sizes. The checker aims to
1.8 david 81: find common mistakes in the use of library functions such as
1.65 bentley 82: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>
83: or <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sscanf">sscanf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 84: without emitting any false positives. Running it over the source and ports
85: trees revealed over a hundred real bugs, which were fixed and submitted back
86: to the original authors where possible.
1.1 david 87: <p>
88:
1.20 deraadt 89: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented for the
1.65 bentley 90: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/syslogd">syslogd(8)</a>
1.21 david 91: daemon, making it much more robust against future errors. The child which
92: listens to network traffic now runs as a normal user and chroots itself,
93: while the parent process tracks the state of the child and performs
94: privileged operations on its behalf.
1.1 david 95: <p>
96:
97: <li>Many unsafe string functions have been removed from the kernel and userland
1.6 tedu 98: utilities. This audit is one of the most comprehensive OpenBSD has ever
99: done, with thousands of occurrences of
1.65 bentley 100: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
101: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
102: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
1.8 david 103: and
1.65 bentley 104: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
1.4 avsm 105: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
1.65 bentley 106: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
107: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,
108: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/snprintf">snprintf(3)</a>,
109: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/vsnprintf">vsnprintf(3)</a>,
1.12 deraadt 110: and
1.65 bentley 111: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/asprintf">asprintf(3)</a>.
1.1 david 112: <p>
113:
1.31 tedu 114: <li>Many improvements to and bugs fixed in the
115: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
1.33 miod 116: ProPolice</a> stack protector. Several other code generation bugs
1.31 tedu 117: for RISC architectures fixed.
118: <p>
119:
1.13 david 120: <li><a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
121: ProPolice</a> stack protection has been enabled in the kernel as well.
1.1 david 122: <p>
123:
1.18 avsm 124: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented in the X server. The privileged
1.15 david 125: child process is responsible for the operations that can't be done after the
126: main process has switched to a non-privileged user. This greatly reduces the
127: potential damage that could be caused by malicious X clients, in case of
128: bugs in the X server.
129: <p>
130:
1.20 deraadt 131: <li>Emulation support for binary compatibility is now controlled via
1.65 bentley 132: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.8">sysctl(8)</a>.
1.19 tedu 133: Emulation is now disabled by default to limit exposure to malicious
134: binaries, and can be enabled in
1.65 bentley 135: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.conf">
1.19 tedu 136: sysctl.conf(5)</a>.
1.16 tedu 137: <p>
138:
1.1 david 139: <li>Manual pages have been greatly cleaned up and improved.
140: <p>
141:
1.8 david 142: <li>The ports tree now supports building programs under
1.65 bentley 143: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/systrace">
1.8 david 144: systrace(1)</a>, preventing the possibility of applications harming the
145: system at compile-time via trojaned configuration scripts or otherwise.
1.1 david 146: <p>
147:
1.58 tb 148: <li>Symbol caching in
1.65 bentley 149: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
1.25 avsm 150: reduces the startup time of large applications.
1.23 tedu 151: <p>
152:
1.25 avsm 153: <li>More license fixes, including the removal of the advertising clause
1.6 tedu 154: for large parts of the source tree.

1.1 david 317: <p>
318: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of

320: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
321: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
322: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
323: purchased a CDROM instead.

1.1 david 556: if you know nothing about ports
557: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
558: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

1.1 david 563: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
564: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
565: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
566: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
567: like:
1.65 bentley 568: <blockquote><pre>
569: # <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_4</kbd>

1.1 david 571: <p>
572: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
573: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
574: server.]
575: <p>
1.66 deraadt 576: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.1 david 577: packages for the 3.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
578: <p>
579: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1.66 deraadt 580: would like to know more, the mailing list
581: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
