Assorted improvements and code cleanup:
+
+ -
+
- malloc(3)
+ has been rewritten to use the
+ mmap(2)
+ system call, introducing unpredictable allocation addresses and guard
+ pages, which helps in detecting heap based buffer overflows and prevents
+ various types of attacks.
+
- libc(3)
+ source code has been converted to ANSI C.
+
- realpath(3)
+ is now thread-safe.
+
- Several pathname races and potential buffer handling problems have been
+ fixed in
+ pax(1).
+
- Problems with signal delivery on OpenBSD/sparc and
+ OpenBSD/sparc64 have been fixed.
+
- Reliability of signal handlers using floating point on
+ OpenBSD/i386 and
+ OpenBSD/macppc has been improved.
+
+
+
