! 177: </ul>
! 178: <p>
! 179:
! 180: <li>IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements:
! 181: <ul>
! 182: <li>MiRA 802.11n TX rate scaling now supports devices with unequal numbers
! 183: of Tx and Rx streams. Fixes 11n mode for some
! 184: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/athn.8">athn(8)</a> devices.
! 185: <li>The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwn.8">iwn(8)</a> and
! 186: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.8">iwm(8)</a> drivers will now start

! 194: </ul>
! 195: <p>
! 196:
! 197: <li>Generic network stack improvements:
! 198: <ul>
! 199: <li>Incoming and forwarded IP packets are now processed without
! 200: KERNEL_LOCK, resulting in better performances and reduced latency.
! 201: <li>The kernel no longer handles IPv6 Stateless Address
! 202: Autoconfiguration (RFC 4862), allowing cleanup and simplification
! 203: of the IPv6 network stack.
! 204: <li>The kernel sends IPv6 router solicitations for link local addresses
! 205: with a link local source address.
! 206: <li>FQ-CoDel algorithm has been implemented for use with <a
! 207: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.conf#QUEUEING">pf(4) queueing</a>.
! 208: <li>Improved IPv6 checks for IPsec policies and made them consistent
! 209: with IPv4.
! 210: <li>Refactored local IP delivery to process IPsec packets in a flow and
! 211: avoid enqueueing a second time.
! 212: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
! 213: now inspects AH packets and matches on the inner protocol.
! 214: This makes IPv4 authentication headers work like IPv6.
! 215: <li>The length of extension header chains in pf(4) is limited.
! 216: This prevents spending excessive CPU time on crafted packets.
! 217: <li>Block IPv6 packets in
! 218: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
! 219: that have a hop-by-hop options header or a destination options header.
! 220: Such packets can be passed by adding "allow-opts" to the rule.
! 221: This makes IPv6 option handling consistent with IPv4.
! 222: <li>If the IPv4 ID gets reused too fast, pf(4) fragment reassembly
! 223: uses a smarter strategy to drop packets.
! 224: <li>Enabled the use of per-CPU caches in the network packet allocators.
! 225: </ul>
! 226: <p>
! 227:
! 228: <li>Installer improvements:
! 229: <ul>
! 230: <li>The installer now uses the Allotment Routing Table (ART).
! 231: <li>A unique kernel is now created by the installer to boot from after
! 232: install/upgrade.
! 233: <li>On release installs of architectures supported by syspatch,
! 234: "syspatch -c" is now added to rc.firsttime.
! 235: <li>Backwards compatibility code to support the 'rtsol' keyword in
! 236: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/hostname.if.5">hostname.if(5)</a>
! 237: has been removed.
! 238: <li>The <tt>install.site</tt> and <tt>upgrade.site</tt> scripts are now
! 239: executed at the end of the install/upgrade process.
! 240: <li>More detailed information is shown to identify disks.
! 241: <li>The IPv6 default router selection has been fixed.
! 242: <li>On the amd64 platform, AES-NI is used if present.
! 243: </ul>
! 244: <p>
! 245:
! 246: <li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
! 247: <ul>
! 248: <li>A new daemon, <a
! 249: href="https://man.openbsd.org/slaacd.8">slaacd(8)</a> handles IPv6
! 250: Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (RFC 4862).
! 251: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rtadvd.8">rtadvd(8)</a> now supports
! 252: "Reducing Energy Consumption of Router Advertisements" (RFC 7772).
! 253: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rtadvd.8">rtadvd(8)</a> has
! 254: been fixed to quickly handle IPv6 prefix changes on the system.
! 255: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a>
! 256: can now show SA bundles and the "bundle" keyword allows them to be
! 257: explicitly created. This avoids confusion as they were previously
! 258: used implicitly.
! 259: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1">nc(1)</a>
! 260: now has a <tt>-W recvlimit</tt> option to terminate netcat after
! 261: receiving the specified number of packets. This allows for a UDP
! 262: request to be sent, a reply to be received and the result checked on
! 263: the command line.
! 264: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1">nc(1)</a>
! 265: now has a <tt>-Z</tt> option, allowing the peer certificate and chain to be
! 266: saved to a file in PEM format.
! 267: <li>A new <tt>-T tlscompat</tt> option was added to
! 268: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1">nc(1)</a>, which enables the use
! 269: of all TLS protocols and libtls "compat" ciphers.
! 270: <li>Various races have been fixed in
! 271: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/relayd.8">relayd(8)</a>,
! 272: expecially in HTTP chunked mode.
! 273: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ndp.8">ndp(8)</a> now shows the
! 274: relevant NDP information when run in a non-default routing
! 275: domain.
! 276: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifstated.8">ifstated(8)</a> now
! 277: copes with interface departures/arrivals.
! 278: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a> can now
! 279: be started multiple times in different
! 280: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rdomain.4">routing domains</a>,
! 281: this provides virtual router functionality.
! 282: </ul>
! 283: <p>
! 284:
! 285: <li>Security improvements:
! 286: <ul>
! 287: <li>A new function
! 288: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/freezero.3">freezero(3)</a>
! 289: to easily clear and free memory holding sensitive data has been added.
! 290: <li>Double free detection has been improved when the F
! 291: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a> option is used.
! 292: The existing S option now includes F.
! 293: <li>The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tty.4#TIOCSTI">TIOCSTI</a>
! 294: tty ioctl has been removed. The I/O-loops in the last two consumers
! 295: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/csh.1">csh(1)</a> and
! 296: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mail.1">mail(1)</a>
! 297: were rewritten to cope with the removal.
! 298: <li>Trapsleds, a new mitigation that significantly reduces the amount of
! 299: nops in the instruction stream, replacing them with trap instructions
! 300: or jump-over-trap sequences, thereby requiring greater accuracy for
! 301: targetting potential gadgets.
! 302: <li>Kernel Address Randomized Link (KARL), a new "link-kit" allows the .o
! 303: files of the kernel to be relinked in a random order, creating a unique
! 304: kernel for each boot. /bsd is now non-readable to users, to try to
! 305: keep the secret.
! 306: <li>Like with libc previously,
! 307: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rc.8">rc(8)</a> re-links libcrypto on
! 308: startup, placing the objects in a random order.
! 309: <li>In addition to libcrypto, to deter code reuse exploits,
! 310: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rc.8">rc(8)</a> re-links
! 311: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ld.so.1">ld.so</a> on
! 312: startup, placing the objects in a random order.
! 313: <li>If process accounting is activated with
! 314: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/accton.8">accton(8)</a>,
! 315: the daily mail shows pledge violations and program crashes.
! 316: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/lastcomm.1">lastcomm(1)</a>
! 317: uses the flags P and T for such processes.
! 318: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pflogd.8">pflogd(8)</a> uses the
! 319: fork+exec model.
! 320: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tcpdump.8">tcpdump(8)</a> uses the
! 321: fork+exec model.
! 322: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifstated.8">ifstated(8)</a>
! 323: uses <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2">pledge(2)</a>.
! 324: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/snmpd.8">snmpd(8)</a> and
! 325: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/snmpctl.8">snmpctl(8)</a> now use
! 326: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2">pledge(2)</a>.
! 327: <li>Tighter pledge for <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/at.1">at(1)</a>.
! 328: <li>Fixed and simplified pledge logic for
! 329: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1">nc(1)</a>.
! 330: <li>More application of
! 331: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/recallocarray.3">recallocarray(3)</a>
! 332: in userland, and tracked sizes to
! 333: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/free.9">free(9)</a> in the kernel.
! 334: <li>Achieve higher levels of paranoia regarding structure packing, and
! 335: clear many kernel objects before passing to userland.
! 336: <li>Disable some optimizations in
! 337: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/clang.1">clang(1)</a>
! 338: due to incompatibility with security.
! 339: <li>For instance, cope with
! 340: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/clang.1">clang(1)</a>'s assumption
! 341: that static or const
! 342: objects placed in unknown sections (such as .openbsd.randomdata)
! 343: are surely always 0, and therefore such memory accesses can be
! 344: optimized away.

! 450: <li>New POSIX <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/newlocale.3">xlocale</a>
! 451: implementation written from scratch, complete in the sense that
! 452: all POSIX *locale(3) and *_l(3) functions are included, but in
! 453: OpenBSD, we of course only really care about <code>LC_CTYPE</code>

! 543: <li>Fix a fd leak in the session congestion mechanism.
! 544: <li>Fix a possible crash when relaying with smtps.

! 546: <li>Remove experimental support for filters.
! 547: <li>Assorted code and documentation cleanups and improvements.
! 548: </ul>
! 549: <p>
! 550:
! 551: <li>OpenSSH 7.6
! 552: <ul>
! 553: <li>Security:
! 554: <ul>
! 555: <li>sftp-server(8): in read-only mode, sftp-server was incorrectly
! 556: permitting creation of zero-length files.
! 557: </ul>
! 558: <li>New/changed features:
! 559: <ul>
! 560: <li>Add RemoteCommand option to specify a command in the
! 561: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
! 562: config file instead of giving it on the client's command
! 563: line.
! 564: The feature allows to automate tasks using ssh config.
! 565: <li>sshd(8): add ExposeAuthInfo option that enables writing details of
! 566: the authentication methods used (including public keys where
! 567: applicable) to a file that is exposed via a $SSH_USER_AUTH
! 568: environment variable in the subsequent session.
! 569: <li>ssh(1): add support for reverse dynamic forwarding. In this mode,
! 570: ssh will act as a SOCKS4/5 proxy and forward connections
! 571: to destinations requested by the remote SOCKS client. This mode
! 572: is requested using extended syntax for the -R and RemoteForward
! 573: options and, because it is implemented solely at the client,
! 574: does not require the server be updated to be supported.
! 575: <li>sshd(8): allow LogLevel directive in sshd_config Match blocks.
! 576: <li>ssh-keygen(1): allow inclusion of arbitrary string or flag
! 577: certificate extensions and critical options.
! 578: <li>ssh-keygen(1): allow ssh-keygen to use a key held in ssh-agent as
! 579: a CA when signing certificates.
! 580: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): allow IPQoS=none in ssh/sshd to not set an explicit
! 581: ToS/DSCP value and just use the operating system default.
! 582: <li>ssh-add(1): added -q option to make ssh-add quiet on success.
! 583: <li>ssh(1): expand the StrictHostKeyChecking option with two new
! 584: settings. The first "accept-new" will automatically accept
! 585: hitherto-unseen keys but will refuse connections for changed or
! 586: invalid hostkeys. This is a safer subset of the current behaviour
! 587: of StrictHostKeyChecking=no. The second setting "off", is a synonym
! 588: for the current behaviour of StrictHostKeyChecking=no: accept new
! 589: host keys, and continue connection for hosts with incorrect
! 590: hostkeys. A future release will change the meaning of
! 591: StrictHostKeyChecking=no to the behaviour of "accept-new".
! 592: <li>ssh(1): add SyslogFacility option to ssh(1) matching the equivalent
! 593: option in sshd(8).
! 594: </ul>
! 595: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
! 596: <ul>
! 597: <li>ssh(1): use HostKeyAlias if specified instead of hostname for
! 598: matching host certificate principal names.
! 599: <li>sftp(1): implement sorting for globbed ls.
! 600: <li>ssh(1): add a user@host prefix to client's "Permission denied"
! 601: messages, useful in particular when using "stacked" connections
! 602: (e.g. ssh -J) where it's not clear which host is denying.
! 603: <li>ssh(1): accept unknown EXT_INFO extension values that contain \0
! 604: characters. These are legal, but would previously cause fatal
! 605: connection errors if received.
! 606: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): repair compression statistics printed at
! 607: connection exit.
! 608: <li>sftp(1): print '?' instead of incorrect link count (that the
! 609: protocol doesn't provide) for remote listings.
! 610: <li>ssh(1): return failure rather than fatal() for more cases during
! 611: session multiplexing negotiations. Causes the session to fall back
! 612: to a non-mux connection if they occur.
! 613: <li>ssh(1): mention that the server may send debug messages to explain
! 614: public key authentication problems under some circumstances.
! 615: <li>Translate OpenSSL error codes to better report incorrect passphrase
! 616: errors when loading private keys.
! 617: <li>sshd(8): adjust compatibility patterns for WinSCP to correctly
! 618: identify versions that implement only the legacy DH group exchange
! 619: scheme.
! 620: <li>ssh(1): print the "Killed by signal 1" message only at LogLevel
! 621: verbose so that it is not shown at the default level; prevents it
! 622: from appearing during ssh -J and equivalent ProxyCommand configs.
! 623: <li>ssh-keygen(1): when generating all hostkeys (ssh-keygen -A), clobber
! 624: existing keys if they exist but are zero length. zero-length keys
! 625: could previously be made if ssh-keygen failed or was interrupted part
! 626: way through generating them.
! 627: <li>ssh(1): fix pledge(2) violation in the escape sequence "~&" used to
! 628: place the current session in the background.
! 629: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): avoid double-close() on file descriptors.
! 630: <li>sshd(8): avoid reliance on shared use of pointers shared between
! 631: monitor and child sshd processes.
! 632: <li>sshd_config(8): document available AuthenticationMethods.
! 633: <li>ssh(1): avoid truncation in some login prompts.
! 634: <li>ssh(1): make "--" before the hostname terminate argument processing
! 635: after the hostname too.
! 636: <li>ssh-keygen(1): switch from aes256-cbc to aes256-ctr for encrypting
! 637: new-style private keys. Fixes problems related to private key
! 638: handling for no-OpenSSL builds.
! 639: <li>ssh(1): warn and do not attempt to use keys when the public and
! 640: private halves do not match.
! 641: <li>sftp(1): don't print verbose error message when ssh disconnects
! 642: from under sftp.
! 643: <li>sshd(8): fix keepalive scheduling problem: activity on a forwarded
! 644: port from preventing the keepalive from being sent.
! 645: <li>sshd(8): when started without root privileges, don't require the
! 646: privilege separation user or path to exist. Makes running the
! 647: regression tests easier without touching the filesystem.
! 648: <li>Make integrity.sh regression tests more robust against timeouts.
! 649: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): correctness fix for channels implementation: accept
! 650: channel IDs greater than 0x7FFFFFFF.
! 651: </ul>
! 652: </ul>
! 653: <p>
! 654:
! 655: <li>LibreSSL 2.6.3
! 656: <ul>
! 657: <li>Added support for providing CRLs to libtls - once a CRL is provided via
! 658: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_config_set_crl_file.3">tls_config_set_crl_file(3)</a>
! 659: or
! 660: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_config_set_crl_mem.3">tls_config_set_crl_mem(3)</a>,
! 661: CRL checking is enabled and required for the full certificate chain.
! 662: <li>Reworked TLS certificate name verification code to more strictly
! 663: follow RFC 6125.
! 664: <li>Cleaned up and simplified server key exchange EC point handling.
! 665: <li>Removed inconsistent IPv6 handling from BIO_get_accept_socket(),
! 666: simplified BIO_get_host_ip() and BIO_accept().
! 667: <li>Added definitions for three OIDs used in EV certificates.
! 668: <li>Relaxed SNI validation to allow non-RFC-compliant clients using literal
! 669: IP addresses with SNI to connect to a libtls-based TLS server.
! 670: <li>Added tls_peer_cert_chain_pem() to libtls, useful in private certificate
! 671: validation callbacks such as those in relayd.
! 672: <li>Converted explicit clear/free sequences to use
! 673: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/freezero.3">freezero(3)</a>.
! 674: <li>Fixed the
! 675: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1">openssl(1)</a>
! 676: ca command so that it generates certificates with RFC 5280-conformant time.
! 677: <li>Added
! 678: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ASN1_TIME_set_tm.3">ASN1_TIME_set_tm(3)</a>
! 679: to set an ASN.1 time from a struct tm *.
! 680: <li>Added
! 681: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version.3">SSL{,_CTX}_set_{min,max}_proto_version(3)</a>
! 682: functions.
! 683: <li>Imported HKDF (HMAC Key Derivation Function) from BoringSSL.
! 684: <li>Provided a
! 685: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_unload_file.3">tls_unload_file(3)</a>
! 686: function that frees the memory returned from a
! 687: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_load_file.3">tls_load_file(3)</a>
! 688: call, ensuring that the contents become inaccessible.
! 689: <li>Implemented reference counting for libtls tls_config, allowing
! 690: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_config_free.3">tls_config_free(3)</a>
! 691: to be called as soon as it has been passed to the final
! 692: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_configure.3">tls_configure(3)</a>
! 693: call, simplifying lifetime tracking for the application.
! 694: <li>Dropped cipher suites using DSS authentication.
! 695: <li>Removed support for DSS/DSA from libssl.
! 696: <li>Distinguish between self-issued certificates and self-signed
! 697: certificates. The certificate verification code has special cases
! 698: for self-signed certificates and without this change, self-issued
! 699: certificates (which it seems are common place with
! 700: openvpn/easyrsa) were also being included in this category.
! 701: <li>Added a new TLS extension handling framework and converted all
! 702: TLS extensions to use it.
! 703: <li>Improved and added many new manpages. Updated
! 704: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/SSL_CTX_check_private_key.3">SSL_{CTX_,}check_private_key(3)</a>
! 705: manpages with additional cautions regarding their use.
! 706: <li>Cleaned up and simplified EC key/curve configuration handling.
! 707: <li>Added
! 708: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_config_set_ecdhecurves.3">tls_config_set_ecdhecurves(3)</a>

! 1119: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
! 1120: Using these files
! 1121: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
! 1122: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

! 1129: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
! 1130:
! 1131: <blockquote><pre>
! 1132: # <b>cd /usr</b>
! 1133: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
! 1134: </pre></blockquote>
! 1135:
! 1136: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
! 1137: if you know nothing about ports
! 1138: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 1139: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 1140: OpenBSD ports system.
! 1141: <p>
! 1142: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
! 1143: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
! 1144: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
! 1145: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
! 1146: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
! 1147: with a command like:
! 1148:
! 1149: <blockquote><pre>
! 1150: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
! 1151: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
! 1152: </pre></blockquote>
! 1153:
! 1154: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
! 1155: server.]
! 1156: <p>
! 1157: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
! 1158: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 1159: <p>
! 1160: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 1161: would like to know more, the mailing list
! 1162: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
