99: <li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:

103: <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.
104: <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.
105: <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.
106: <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.
107: <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.

171: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
1.18 sobrado 172: client experimental support for resuming SSH-connections (roaming).
1.16 sobrado 173: In the default configuration, this could potentially leak client keys
174: to a hostile server. The authentication of the server host key
175: prevents exploitation by a man-in-the-middle, so this information leak
176: is restricted to connections to malicious or compromised servers.
177: This feature has been disabled in the
178: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
179: client, and it has been removed from the source tree. The matching
180: server code has never been shipped.
181: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
182: OpenSSH 7.0 contained a logic error in
183: <tt>PermitRootLogin=prohibit-password/without-password</tt> that could,
184: depending on compile-time configuration, permit password authentication
185: to root while preventing other forms of authentication.
186: <li>Eliminate the fallback from untrusted X11-forwarding to trusted
187: forwarding for cases when the X server disables the <tt>SECURITY</tt>
188: extension.
189: <li>Fix an out of-bound read access in the packet handling code.
1.18 sobrado 190: <li>Further use of
191: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bzero&sektion=3">explicit_bzero(3)</a>
192: has been added in various buffer handling code paths to guard against
193: compilers aggressively doing dead-store removal.

201: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.18 sobrado 202: refine compatibility workarounds for WinSCP.
1.16 sobrado 203: <li>Fix a number of memory faults (double-free, free of uninitialised
204: memory, etc) in
205: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>

216: <ul>
1.17 sobrado 217: <li>This release corrects the handling of <tt>ClientHello</tt> messages
218: that do not include TLS extensions, resulting in such handshakes being
219: aborted.
220: <li>When loading a DSA key from an raw (without DH parameters) ASN.1
221: serialization, perform some consistency checks on its `p' and `q'
222: values, and return an error if the checks failed.
223: <li>Fixed a bug in <tt>ECDH_compute_key</tt> that can lead to silent
224: truncation of the result key without error. A coding error could cause
225: software to use much shorter keys than intended.
226: <li>Removed support for <tt>DTLS_BAD_VER</tt>. Pre-DTLSv1 implementations
227: are no longer supported.
228: <li>The engine command and parameters are removed from

230: Previous releases removed dynamic and builtin engine support already.
231: <li>SHA-0 is removed, which was withdrawn shortly after publication
232: twenty years ago.

279: <li>SSLv3 is now permanently removed from the tree.
280: <li>The <tt>libtls</tt> API is changed from the 2.2.x series:
281: <ul>
1.28 sobrado 282: <li>The

286: functions now work better with external event libraries.
287: <li>Client-side verification is now supported, with the client
288: supplying the certificate to the server.
289: <li>Also, when using
290: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_connect_fds(3)</a>,
291: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tls_init&sektion=3">tls_connect_socket(3)</a>
292: or

1.17 sobrado 296: </ul>
297: <li>New interface <tt>OPENSSL_cpu_caps</tt> is provided that does not
298: allow software to inadvertently modify cpu capability flags.

1.18 sobrado 300: <li>The <tt>out_len</tt> argument of <tt>AEAD</tt> changed from

1.17 sobrado 305: to use <tt>libtls</tt> for client and server operations; it is
306: included in the libressl-portable distribution as an example of how
307: to use the <tt>libtls</tt> library. This is intended to be a simpler
308: and more robust replacement for <tt>openssl s_client</tt> and
309: <tt>openssl s_server</tt> for day-to-day operations.
310: <li>ASN.1 cleanups and RFC5280 compliance fixes.
311: <li>Time representations switched from <tt>unsigned long</tt> to

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

730: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make

732: with a command like:

735: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
736: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_9</strong>

738: <p>
739: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
740: server.]
741: <p>
742: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
743: ports for the 5.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
