201: interface layer, make sure that they have no pointers to
202: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
203: which could result in a memory free operation at the wrong
204: protection level.

209: some corner cases.
210: <li>Improve IPv6 fragment processing.
211: Drop empty atomic fragments early.
212: Be more paranoid when IPv6 hop-by-hop headers appear after
213: fragment headers.

473: <ul>
474:
475: <li> libtls now supports ALPN and SNI
476:
477: <li> libtls adds a new callback interface for integrating custom IO
478: functions. Thanks to Tobias Pape.
479:
480: <li> libtls now handles 4 cipher suite groups:
481: <Ul>
482: <li> "secure" (TLSv1.2+AEAD+PFS)
483: <li> "compat" (HIGH:!aNULL)
484: <li> "legacy" (HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL)
485: <li> "insecure" (ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL)
486: </ul>
487: This allows for flexibility and finer grained control, rather than
488: having two extremes (an issue raised by Marko Kreen some time ago).
489:
490: <li> Tightened error handling for tls_config_set_ciphers().
491:
492: <li> libtls now always loads CA, key and certificate files at the time the
493: configuration function is called. This simplifies code and results in
494: a single memory based code path being used to provide data to libssl.
495:
496: <li> Add support for OCSP intermediate certificates.
497:
498: <li> Added functions used by stunnel and exim from BoringSSL - this
499: brings in X509_check_host, X509_check_email, X509_check_ip, and
500: X509_check_ip_asc.
501:
502: <li> Added initial support for iOS, thanks to Jacob Berkman.
503:
504: <li> Improved behavior of arc4random on Windows when using memory leak
505: analysis software.
506:
507: <li> Correctly handle an EOF that occurs prior to the TLS handshake
508: completing. Reported by Vasily Kolobkov, based on a diff from Marko
509: Kreen.
510:
511: <li> Limit the support of the "backward compatible" ssl2 handshake to
512: only be used if TLS 1.0 is enabled.
513:
514: <li> Fix incorrect results in certain cases on 64-bit systems when
515: BN_mod_word() can return incorrect results. BN_mod_word() now can
516: return an error condition. Thanks to Brian Smith.
517:
518: <li> Added constant-time updates to address CVE-2016-0702
519:
520: <li> Fixed undefined behavior in BN_GF2m_mod_arr()
521:
522: <li> Removed unused Cryptographic Message Support (CMS)
523:
524: <li> More conversions of long long idioms to time_t
525:
526: <li> Improved compatibility by avoiding printing NULL strings with
527: printf.
528:
529: <li> Reverted change that cleans up the EVP cipher context in
530: EVP_EncryptFinal() and EVP_DecryptFinal(). Some software relies on the
531: previous behaviour.
532:
533: <li> Avoid unbounded memory growth in libssl, which can be triggered
534: by a TLS client repeatedly renegotiating and sending OCSP Status
535: Request TLS extensions.
536:
537: <li> Avoid falling back to a weak digest for (EC)DH when using SNI
538: with libssl.
539:
540: <li> X509_cmp_time() now passes a malformed GeneralizedTime field as
541: an error. Reported by Theofilos Petsios.
542:
543: <li> Detect zero-length encrypted session data early, instead of when
544: malloc(0) fails or the HMAC check fails. Noted independently by
545: jsing@ and Kurt Cancemi.
546:
547: <li> Check for and handle failure of HMAC_{Update,Final} or
548: EVP_DecryptUpdate().
549:
550: <li> Massive update and normalization of manpages, conversion to
551: mandoc format. Many pages were rewritten for clarity and accuracy.
552: Portable doc links are up-to-date with a new conversion tool.
553:
554: <li> Curve25519 Key Exchange support.
555:
556: <li> Support for alternate chains for certificate verification.
557:
558: <li> Code cleanups, CBB conversions, further unification of DTLS/SSL
559: handshake code, further ASN1 macro expansion and removal.
560:
561: <li> Private symbol are now hidden in libssl and libcryto.
562:
563: <li> Friendly certificate verification error messages in libtls, peer
564: verification is now always enabled.
565:
566: <li> Added OCSP stapling support to libtls and netcat.
567:
568: <li> Added ocspcheck utility to validate a certificate against its OCSP
569: responder and save the reply for stapling
570:
571: <li> Enhanced regression tests and error handling for libtls.
572:
573: <li> Added explicit constant and non-constant time BN functions,
574: defaulting to constant time wherever possible.
575:
576: <li> Moved many leaked implementation details in public structs behind
577: opaque pointers.
578:
579: <li> Added ticket support to libtls.
580:
581: <li> Added support for setting the supported EC curves via
582: SSL{_CTX}_set1_groups{_list}() - also provide defines for the
583: previous SSL{_CTX}_set1_curves{_list} names. This also changes
584: the default list of curves to be X25519, P-256 and P-384. All
585: other curves must be manually enabled.
586:
587: <li> Added -groups option to openssl(1) s_client for specifying the
588: curves to be used in a colon-separated list.
589:
590: <li> Merged client/server version negotiation code paths into one,
591: reducing much duplicate code.
592:
593: <li> Removed error function codes from libssl and libcrypto.
594:
595: <li> Fixed an issue where a truncated packet could crash via an OOB
596: read.
597:
598: <li> Added SSL_OP_NO_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION option that disallows
599: client-initiated renegotiation. This is the default for libtls
600: servers.
601:
602: <li> Avoid a side-channel cache-timing attack that can leak the ECDSA
603: private keys when signing. This is due to BN_mod_inverse() being
604: used without the constant time flag being set. Reported by Cesar
605: Pereida Garcia and Billy Brumley (Tampere University of
606: Technology). The fix was developed by Cesar Pereida Garcia.
607:
608: <li> iOS and MacOS compatibility updates from Simone Basso and Jacob
609: Berkman.
610:
611: <li> Added the recallocarray(3) memory allocation function, and
612: converted various places in the library to use it, such as CBB
613: and BUF_MEM_grow. recallocarray(3) is similar to
614: reallocarray. Newly allocated memory is cleared similar to
615: calloc(3). Memory that becomes unallocated while shrinking or
616: moving existing allocations is explicitly discarded by unmapping
617: or clearing to 0.
618:
619: <li> Added new root CAs from SECOM Trust Systems / Security
620: Communication of Japan.
621:
622: <li> Added EVP interface for MD5+SHA1 hashes.
623:
624: <li> Fixed DTLS client failures when the server sends a certificate
625: request.
626:
627: <li> Correct handling of padding when upgrading an SSLv2 challenge
628: into an SSLv3/TLS connection.
629:
630: <li> Allow protocols and ciphers to be set on a TLS config object in
631: libtls.
632:
633: <li> Improved nc(1) TLS handshake CPU usage and server-side error
634: reporting.

1024: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1025: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1026: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
1027: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1028: with a command like:
1029:
1030: <blockquote><pre>
1031: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1032: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
1033: </pre></blockquote>
1034:
1035: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1036: server.]
1037: <p>
1038: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1039: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
1040: <p>
1041: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1042: would like to know more, the mailing list
1043: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
