! 64: <h3><font color="#0000e0">What's New</font></h3>
! 65: <p>
! 66: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.5.
! 67: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus34.html">changelog</a> leading
! 68: to 3.5.
! 69: <p>
! 70:
! 71: <ul>
! 72:
! 73: <li>The i386 architecture has been switched to the
! 74: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=elf">ELF</a>
! 75: executable format.
! 76: <p>
! 77:
! 78: <li>Further W^X improvements, including support for the i386 architecture.
! 79: Native i386 binaries have their executable segments rearranged to support
! 80: isolating code from data, and the cpu CS limit is used to impose a best
! 81: effort limit on code execution.
! 82: <p>
! 83:
! 84: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
! 85: on ELF platforms now loads libraries in a random order for
! 86: greater resistance to attacks. The i386 architecture also maps libraries
! 87: into somewhat randomized addresses. Together with W^X and
! 88: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">ProPolice</a>,
! 89: these changes increase the difficulty of successfully exploiting an
! 90: application error, such as a buffer overflow.
! 91: <p>
! 92:
! 93: <li>A static bounds checker has been added to the compiler to perform basic
! 94: checks on functions which accept buffers and sizes. The checker aims to
! 95: find common mistakes in the use of library functions such as
! 96: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>
! 97: or <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sscanf">sscanf(3)</a>
! 98: without emitting any false positives. Running it over the source and ports
! 99: trees revealed over a hundred real bugs, which were fixed and submitted back
! 100: to the original authors where possible.
! 101: <p>
! 102:
! 103: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented for the
! 104: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd">syslogd(8)</a>
! 105: daemon, making it much more robust against future errors. The child which
! 106: listens to network traffic now runs as a normal user and chroots itself,
! 107: while the parent process tracks the state of the child and performs
! 108: privileged operations on its behalf.
! 109: <p>
! 110:
! 111: <li>Many unsafe string functions have been removed from the kernel and userland
! 112: utilities. This audit is one of the most comprehensive OpenBSD has ever
! 113: done, with thousands of occurrences of
! 114: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcpy">strcpy(3)</a>,
! 115: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strcat">strcat(3)</a>,
! 116: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sprintf">sprintf(3)</a>,
! 117: and
! 118: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsprintf">vsprintf(3)</a>
! 119: being replaced with safer, bounded alternatives such as
! 120: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy">strlcpy(3)</a>,
! 121: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcat">strlcat(3)</a>,
! 122: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=snprintf">snprintf(3)</a>,
! 123: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vsnprintf">vsnprintf(3)</a>,
! 124: and
! 125: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=asprintf">asprintf(3)</a>.
! 126: <p>
! 127:
! 128: <li>Many improvements to and bugs fixed in the
! 129: <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
! 130: ProPolice</a> stack protector. Several other code generation bugs
! 131: for RISC architectures fixed.
! 132: <p>
! 133:
! 134: <li><a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/">
! 135: ProPolice</a> stack protection has been enabled in the kernel as well.
! 136: <p>
! 137:
! 138: <li>Privilege separation has been implemented in the X server. The privileged
! 139: child process is responsible for the operations that can't be done after the
! 140: main process has switched to a non-privileged user. This greatly reduces the
! 141: potential damage that could be caused by malicious X clients, in case of
! 142: bugs in the X server.
! 143: <p>
! 144:
! 145: <li>Emulation support for binary compatibility is now controlled via
! 146: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=8">sysctl(8)</a>.
! 147: Emulation is now disabled by default to limit exposure to malicious
! 148: binaries, and can be enabled in
! 149: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl.conf">
! 150: sysctl.conf(5)</a>.
! 151: <p>
! 152:
! 153: <li>Manual pages have been greatly cleaned up and improved.
! 154: <p>
! 155:
! 156: <li>The ports tree now supports building programs under
! 157: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace">
! 158: systrace(1)</a>, preventing the possibility of applications harming the
! 159: system at compile-time via trojaned configuration scripts or otherwise.
! 160: <p>
! 161:
! 162: <li>Symbol caching in
! 163: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so">ld.so(1)</a>
! 164: reduces the startup time of large applications.
! 165: <p>
! 166:
! 167: <li>More license fixes, including the removal of the advertising clause
! 168: for large parts of the source tree.
! 169: <p>
! 170:
! 171: <li>Replacement of GNU

! 192: <p>
! 193:
! 194: <li>Addition of read-only support for

! 196: file systems.
! 197: <p>
! 198:
! 199: <li>Reliability improvements to layered file systems, enabling
! 200: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount_null">NULLFS</a>
! 201: to work again.
! 202: <p>
