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

230:
231: <li>ANSIfication and stricter prototypes for a large portion of the source tree.
232: <p>
233:
234: <li>Legacy KerberosIV support has been removed, and the remaining KerberosV

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

383: <p>
1.2 deraadt 384: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller

388: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
389: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
390:
391: <p>
392: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
393: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
