65: <p>
66: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.5.
1.2 ! deraadt 67: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 deraadt 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>

191: commands with BSD licensed equivalents.
192: <p>
193:
194: <li>Addition of read-only support for
195: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount_ntfs">NTFS</a>
196: file systems.
197: <p>
198:
199: <li>Reliability improvements to layered file systems, enabling

225: <p>
226:
227: <li>Legacy KerberosIV support has been removed, and the remaining KerberosV

371: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
372: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
373: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write

381: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
382: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
383:
384: <p>
385: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located

387: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=

389: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
