85: <ul>
1.24 ! krw 86: <li>Inappropriate user choices from a list of options are more reliably rejected.
! 87: <li>Installing to a disk partitioned with a GPT is now supported (amd64 only).
! 88: <li>When initializing a GPT the required EFI System partition is automatically created.
! 89: <li>When installing to a GPT disk <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=installboot&sektion=8">installboot(8)</a> now formats the EFI System partition, creates the appropriate directory structure and copies the required UEFI boot files into place.
1.1 deraadt 90: <li>...
91: </ul>
92: <p>
93:
94: <li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
95: <ul>
1.23 krw 96: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> now supports multiple domain names provided via DHCP option 15 (Domain Name).
97: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> now supports search domains provided via DHCP option 119 (Domain Search).
98: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> no longer continually checks for a change to the routing domain of the interface it controls. It now relies on the appropriate routing socket messages.
99: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> now issues DHCP DECLINE responses to lease offers found to be inadequate, and restarts the DISCOVER/RENEW process rather than waiting indefinitely for a better lease to appear.
100: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> no longer exits if a desired route cannot be added. It now just reports the fact.
101: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> now takes a much more careful approach to received packets to ensure only received data is used to process the packet. Packets with incorrect length information or lacking appropriate header information are now dropped.
102: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> again disables pending timeouts if the interface link is lost, preventing endless retries at obtaining a lease.
103: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> was pledged.
104: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhcpd&sektion=8">dhcpd(8)</a> again properly utilizes default-lease-time, max-lease-time and bootp-lease-time options.
105: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhcpd&sektion=8">dhcpd(8)</a> was pledged.

149: <li>Security:
150: <ul>
1.16 sobrado 151: <li>Qualys Security identified vulnerabilities in the
152: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
1.18 sobrado 153: client experimental support for resuming SSH-connections (roaming).
1.16 sobrado 154: In the default configuration, this could potentially leak client keys
155: to a hostile server. The authentication of the server host key
156: prevents exploitation by a man-in-the-middle, so this information leak
157: is restricted to connections to malicious or compromised servers.
158: This feature has been disabled in the
159: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
160: client, and it has been removed from the source tree. The matching
161: server code has never been shipped.
162: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
163: OpenSSH 7.0 contained a logic error in
164: <tt>PermitRootLogin=prohibit-password/without-password</tt> that could,
165: depending on compile-time configuration, permit password authentication
166: to root while preventing other forms of authentication.
167: <li>Eliminate the fallback from untrusted X11-forwarding to trusted
168: forwarding for cases when the X server disables the <tt>SECURITY</tt>
169: extension.
170: <li>Fix an out of-bound read access in the packet handling code.
1.18 sobrado 171: <li>Further use of
172: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bzero&sektion=3">explicit_bzero(3)</a>
173: has been added in various buffer handling code paths to guard against
174: compilers aggressively doing dead-store removal.
1.1 deraadt 175: </ul>
176: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
177: <ul>
1.16 sobrado 178: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
179: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.18 sobrado 180: add compatibility workarounds for FuTTY.
1.16 sobrado 181: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
182: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.18 sobrado 183: refine compatibility workarounds for WinSCP.
1.16 sobrado 184: <li>Fix a number of memory faults (double-free, free of uninitialised
185: memory, etc) in
186: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
187: and
188: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>.
1.18 sobrado 189: <li>Correctly interpret the <tt>first_kex_follows</tt> option during the
190: initial key exchange.

193: <p>
1.17 sobrado 194: <li>LibreSSL 2.3.2
1.1 deraadt 195: <ul>
196: <li>User-visible features:
197: <ul>
1.17 sobrado 198: <li>This release corrects the handling of <tt>ClientHello</tt> messages
199: that do not include TLS extensions, resulting in such handshakes being
200: aborted.
201: <li>When loading a DSA key from an raw (without DH parameters) ASN.1
202: serialization, perform some consistency checks on its `p' and `q'
203: values, and return an error if the checks failed.
204: <li>Fixed a bug in <tt>ECDH_compute_key</tt> that can lead to silent
205: truncation of the result key without error. A coding error could cause
206: software to use much shorter keys than intended.
207: <li>Removed support for <tt>DTLS_BAD_VER</tt>. Pre-DTLSv1 implementations
208: are no longer supported.
209: <li>The engine command and parameters are removed from
210: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=openssl&sektion=1">openssl(1)</a>.
211: Previous releases removed dynamic and builtin engine support already.
212: <li>SHA-0 is removed, which was withdrawn shortly after publication
213: twenty years ago.
214: <li>Added <tt>Certplus CA</tt> root certificate to the default
215: <tt>cert.pem</tt> file.
1.19 sobrado 216: <li>Fixed a leak in
217: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=SSL_new&sektion=3">SSL_new(3)</a>
218: in the error path.
1.17 sobrado 219: <li>Fixed a memory leak and out-of-bounds access in <tt>OBJ_obj2txt</tt>.
220: <li>Fixed an up-to 7 byte overflow in RC4 when len is not a multiple of
221: <tt>sizeof(RC4_CHUNK)</tt>.
1.19 sobrado 222: <li>Added
223: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=EVP_AEAD_CTX_init&sektion=3">EVP_aead_chacha20_poly1305(3)</a>
224: which matches the
1.18 sobrado 225: <tt>AEAD</tt> construction introduced in RFC 7539, which is different
226: than that already used in TLS with
1.19 sobrado 227: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=EVP_AEAD_CTX_init&sektion=3">EVP_aead_chacha20_poly1305(3)</a>.
1.18 sobrado 228: <li>More man pages converted from pod to
229: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mdoc&sektion=7">mdoc(7)</a>
230: format.
1.17 sobrado 231: <li>Added <tt>COMODO RSA Certification Authority</tt> and

233: <li>Removed Remhve "<tt>C=US, O=VeriSign, Inc., OU=Class 3 Public Primary
234: Certification Authority</tt>"
235: (serial 3c:91:31:cb:1f:f6:d0:1b:0e:9a:b8:d0:44:bf:12:be)
236: root certificate from <tt>cert.pem</tt>.
237: <li>Fixed incorrect TLS certificate loading by
238: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nc&sektion=1">nc(1)</a>.
239: <li>The following CVEs had been fixed:
240: <ul>
241: <li><tt>CVE-2015-3194</tt>—NULL pointer dereference in client
242: side certificate validation.
243: <li><tt>CVE-2015-3195</tt>—memory leak in PKCS7, not reachable
244: from TLS/SSL.
245: </ul>
246: <li>Note: The following OpenSSL CVEs did not apply to LibreSSL:
247: <ul>
248: <li><tt>CVE-2015-3193</tt>—carry propagating bug in the x86_64
249: Montgomery squaring procedure.
250: <li><tt>CVE-2015-3196</tt>—double free race condition of the
251: identify hint data.
252: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 253: </ul>
254: <li>Code improvements:
255: <ul>
1.17 sobrado 256: <li>Added install target for <tt>cmake</tt> builds.
257: <li>Updated <tt>pkgconfig</tt> files to correctly report the release
258: version number, not the individual library ABI version numbers.
259: <li>SSLv3 is now permanently removed from the tree.
260: <li>The <tt>libtls</tt> API is changed from the 2.2.x series:
261: <ul>
1.19 sobrado 262: <li>The
263: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_read(3)</a>
264: and
265: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_write(3)</a>
266: functions now work better with external event libraries.
1.17 sobrado 267: <li>Client-side verification is now supported, with the client
268: supplying the certificate to the server.
1.19 sobrado 269: <li>Also, when using
270: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_connect_fds(3)</a>,
271: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_connect_socket(3)</a>
272: or
273: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_accept_fds(3)</a>,
1.17 sobrado 274: <tt>libtls</tt> no longer implicitly closes the passed in sockets.
275: The caller is responsible for closing them in this case.
276: </ul>
277: <li>New interface <tt>OPENSSL_cpu_caps</tt> is provided that does not
278: allow software to inadvertently modify cpu capability flags.
279: <tt>OPENSSL_ia32cap</tt> and <tt>OPENSSL_ia32cap_loc</tt> are removed.
1.18 sobrado 280: <li>The <tt>out_len</tt> argument of <tt>AEAD</tt> changed from
281: <tt>ssize_t</tt> to <tt>size_t</tt>.
1.17 sobrado 282: <li>Deduplicated DTLS code, sharing bugfixes and improvements with TLS.
283: <li>Converted
284: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nc&sektion=1">nc(1)</a>
285: to use <tt>libtls</tt> for client and server operations; it is
286: included in the libressl-portable distribution as an example of how
287: to use the <tt>libtls</tt> library. This is intended to be a simpler
288: and more robust replacement for <tt>openssl s_client</tt> and
289: <tt>openssl s_server</tt> for day-to-day operations.
290: <li>ASN.1 cleanups and RFC5280 compliance fixes.
291: <li>Time representations switched from <tt>unsigned long</tt> to
292: <tt>time_t</tt>. LibreSSL now checks if the host OS supports 64-bit
293: <tt>time_t</tt>.
294: <li>Support always extracting the peer cipher and version with
295: <tt>libtls</tt>.
296: <li>Added ability to check certificate validity times with
1.19 sobrado 297: <tt>libtls</tt>,
298: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_peer_cert_notbefore(3)</a>

300: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_peer_cert_notafter(3)</a>.
301: <li>Changed
302: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_connect_servername(3)</a>
303: to use the first address that resolves with
1.18 sobrado 304: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getaddrinfo&sektion=3">getaddrinfo(3)</a>.
1.17 sobrado 305: <li>Remove broken conditional <tt>EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY</tt> code
306: (non-functional since initial commit in 2004).
1.19 sobrado 307: <li>Reject too small bits value in
308: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=BN_generate_prime&sektion=3">BN_generate_prime_ex(3)</a>,
1.17 sobrado 309: so that it does not risk becoming negative in
310: <tt>probable_prime_dh_safe()</tt>.
1.18 sobrado 311: <li>Changed format of <tt>LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER</tt> to match that of
1.17 sobrado 312: <tt>OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER</tt>.
313: <li>Avoid a potential undefined C99+ behavior due to shift overflow in
314: <tt>AES_decrypt</tt>.
315: <li>Deprecated the <tt>SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE</tt> flag.

703: <p>
704: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

708: source tree, our ports tree is available via
709: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
710: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
711: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
712: with a command like:
713: <p>
714: <ul><pre>
715: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
716: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_9</strong>

718: <p>
719: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
720: server.]
721: <p>
722: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
723: ports for the 5.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
724: <p>
725: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
726: would like to know more, the mailing list
