173: <ul>
174: <li>...
175: </ul>
176:
1.7 tb 177: <li>LibreSSL version 3.8.2
1.1 deraadt 178: <ul>
1.7 tb 179: <li>Security fixes
180: <ul>
181: <li>Disabled TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 in libssl so that they may no longer
182: be selected for use.
183: <li>BN_is_prime{,_fasttest}_ex() refuse to check numbers larger than
184: 32 kbits for primality. This mitigates various DoS vectors.
185: <li>Restricted the RFC 3779 code to IPv4 and IPv6. It was not written
186: to be able to deal with anything else.
187: </ul>
188: <li>Portable changes
189: <ul>
190: <li>Extended the endian.h compat header with hto* and *toh macros.
191: <li>Adapted more tests to the portable framework.
192: <li>Internal tools are now statically linked.
193: <li>Applications bundled as part of the LibreSSL package internally,
194: nc(1) and openssl(1), now are linked statically if static libraries
195: are built.
196: <li>Internal compatibility function symbols are no longer exported from
197: libcrypto. Instead, the libcompat library is linked to libcrypto,
198: libssl, and libtls separately. This increases size a little, but
199: ensures that the libraries are not exporting symbols to programs
200: unintentionally.
201: <li>Selective removal of CET implementation on platforms where it is
202: not supported (macOS).
203: <li>Integrated four more tests.
204: <li>Added Windows ARM64 architecture to tested platforms.
205: <li>Removed Solaris 10 support, fixed Solaris 11.
206: <li>libtls no longer links statically to libcrypto / libssl unless
207: <code>--enable-libtls-only</code> is specified at configure time.
208: <li>Improved Windows compatibility library, namely handling of files vs
209: sockets, correcting an exception when operating on a closed socket.
210: <li>CMake builds no longer hardcode <code>-O2</code> into the compiler flags,
211: instead using flags from the CMake build type instead.
212: <li>Set the CMake default build type to <code>Release</code>. This can be overridden
213: during configuration.
214: <li>Fixed broken ASM support with MinGW builds.
215: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 216: <li>New features
217: <ul>
1.7 tb 218: <li>Added support for truncated SHA-2 and for SHA-3.
219: <li>The BPSW primality test performs additional Miller-Rabin rounds
220: with random bases to reduce the likelihood of composites passing.
221: <li>Allow testing of ciphers and digests using badly aligned buffers
222: in openssl speed using -unalign.
223: <li>Ed25519 certificates are now supported in openssl(1) ca and req.
224: Prepared Ed25519 support in libssl.
225: <li>Add branch target information (BTI) support to amd64 and arm64
226: assembly.
1.1 deraadt 227: </ul>
228: <li>Compatibility changes
229: <ul>
1.7 tb 230: <li>Added a workaround for a poorly thought-out change in OpenSSL 3 that
231: broke privilege separation support in libtls.
232: <li>Moved libtls from ECDSA_METHOD to EC_KEY_METHOD.
233: <li>Removed GF2m support: BIGNUM no longer supports binary extension
234: field arithmetic and all binary elliptic builtin curves were removed.
235: <li>Removed dangerous, "fast" NIST prime and elliptic curve implementations.
236: In particular, EC_GFp_nist_method() is no longer available.
237: <li>Removed most public symbols that were deprecated in OpenSSL 0.9.8.
238: <li>Removed the public X9.31 API (RSA_X931_PADDING is still available).
239: <li>Removed Cipher Text Stealing mode.
240: <li>Removed ENGINE support, including ECDH_METHOD and ECDSA_METHOD.
241: <li>Removed COMP, DSO, dynamic loading of conf modules and support for
242: custom ex_data and error stacks.
243: <li>Removed proxy certificate (RFC 3820) support.
244: <li>Removed SXNET and NETSCAPE_CERT_SEQUENCE support including the
1.8 tb 245: openssl(1) nseq command.
1.7 tb 246: <li>ENGINE support was removed and OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE is set. In spite
247: of this, some stub functions are provided to avoid patching some
248: applications that do not honor OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE.
249: <li>The POLICY_TREE and its related structures and API were removed.
250: <li>In X509_VERIFY_PARAM_inherit() copy hostflags independently of the
251: host list.
252: <li>Made CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() not return 0 to allow applications
253: to use *_{get,set}_app_data() and *_{get,set}_ex_data() alongside
254: each other.
255: <li>X509_NAME_get_text_by_{NID,OBJ}() now only succeed if they contain
256: valid UTF-8 without embedded NUL.
257: <li>The explicitText user notice uses UTF8String instead of VisibleString
258: to reduce the risk of emitting certificates with invalid DER-encoding.
259: <li>Initial fixes for RSA-PSS support to make the TLSv1.3 stack more
260: compliant with RFC 8446.
261: <li>Fixed EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length() to return what was set with
262: EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_IVLEN or one of its aliases.
1.1 deraadt 263: </ul>
1.7 tb 264: <li>Internal improvements
1.1 deraadt 265: <ul>
1.7 tb 266: <li>Improved sieve of Eratosthenes script used for generating a table
267: of small primes.
268: <li>Removed incomplete and dangerous BN_RECURSION code.
269: <li>Imported RFC 5280 policy checking code from BoringSSL and used it
270: to replace the old exponential time code.
271: <li>Converted more of libcrypto to use CBB/CBS.
272: <li>Started cleaning up and rewriting SHA internals.
273: <li>Reduced the dependency of hash implementations on many layers of
274: macros. This results in significant speedups since modern compilers
275: are now less confused.
276: <li>Improved BIGNUM internals and performance.
277: <li>Significantly simplified the BN_BLINDING internals used in RSA.
278: <li>Made BN_num_bits() independent of bn->top.
279: <li>Rewrote and simplified bn_sqr().
280: <li>Significantly improved Montgomery multiplication performance.
281: <li>Rewrote and improved BN_exp() and BN_copy().
282: <li>Changed ASN1_item_sign_ctx() and ASN1_item_verify() to work with
283: Ed25519 and fixed a few bugs in there.
284: <li>Lots of cleanup for DH, DSA, EC, RSA internals. Plugged numerous
285: memory leaks, fixed logic errors and inconsistencies.
286: <li>Cleaned up and simplified various ECDH and ECDSA internals.
287: <li>Removed EC_GROUP precomp machinery.
288: <li>Fixed various issues with EVP_PKEY_CTX_{new,dup}().
289: <li>Rewrote OBJ_find_sigid_algs() and OBJ_find_sigid_by_algs().
290: <li>Improved X.509 certificate version checks.
291: <li>Ensure no X.509v3 extensions appear more than once in certificates.
292: <li>Replaced ASN1_bn_print with a cleaner internal implementation.
293: <li>Fix OPENSSL_cpuid_setup() invocations on arm/aarch64.
294: <li>Improved checks for commonName in libtls.
295: <li>Fixed error check for X509_get_ext_d2i() failure in libtls.
296: <li>Removed code guarded by #ifdef ZLIB.
297: <li>Plug a potential memory leak in ASN1_TIME_normalize().
298: <li>Fixed a use of uninitialized in i2r_IPAddrBlocks().
299: <li>Rewrote CMS_SignerInfo_{sign,verify}().
1.1 deraadt 300: </ul>
1.7 tb 301: <li>Bug fixes
1.1 deraadt 302: <ul>
1.7 tb 303: <li>Correctly handle negative input to various BIGNUM functions.
304: <li>Ensure ERR_load_ERR_strings() does not set errno unexpectedly.
305: <li>Fix error checking of i2d_ECDSA_SIG() in ossl_ecdsa_sign().
1.8 tb 306: <li>Fixed aliasing issue in BN_mod_inverse(). Disallowed aliasing of result
307: and modulus in various BN_mod_* functions.
1.7 tb 308: <li>Fixed detection of extended operations (XOP) on AMD hardware.
309: <li>Ensure Montgomery exponentiation is used for the initial RSA blinding.
310: <li>Policy is always checked in X509 validation. Critical policy extensions
311: are no longer silently ignored.
312: <li>Fixed error handling in tls_check_common_name().
313: <li>Add missing pointer invalidation in SSL_free().
314: <li>Fixed X509err() and X509V3err() and their internal versions.
315: <li>Ensure that OBJ_obj2txt() always returns a C string again.
316: <li>Made EVP_PKEY_set1_hkdf_key() fail on a NULL key.
317: <li>On socket errors in the poll loop, netcat could issue system calls
318: on invalidated file descriptors.
319: <li>Allow IP addresses to be specified in a URI.
320: <li>Fixed a copy-paste error in ASN1_TIME_compare() that could lead
321: to two UTCTimes or two GeneralizedTimes incorrectly being compared
322: as equal.
323: </ul>
324: <li>Documentation improvements
325: <ul>
326: <li>Improved documentation of BIO_ctrl(3), BIO_set_info_callback(3),
327: BIO_get_info_callback(3), BIO_method_type(3), and BIO_method_name(3).

642: <h3>How to upgrade</h3>
643: <p>
1.3 jsg 644: If you already have an OpenBSD 7.3 system, and do not want to reinstall,
1.1 deraadt 645: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
646: <a href="faq/upgrade74.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.

651: <section id=sourcecode>
652: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
653: <p>
654: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
655: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
656: which are in a separate archive.
657: To extract:
658: <blockquote><pre>
659: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
660: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
661: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
662: </pre></blockquote>
663: <p>
664: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
665: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
666: To extract:
667: <blockquote><pre>
668: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
669: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
670: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
671: </pre></blockquote>
672: <p>
673: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
674: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
675: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
676: Using these files
677: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
678: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

684: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
685: <p>
686: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
687: <blockquote><pre>
688: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
689: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
690: </pre></blockquote>
691: <p>
692: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
693: if you know nothing about ports
694: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
695: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
696: OpenBSD ports system.
697: <p>
698: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
699: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
700: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
701: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
702: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
703: with a command like:
704: <blockquote><pre>
705: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 706: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 707: </pre></blockquote>
708: <p>
709: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
710: server.]
711: <p>
712: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
713: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
714: <p>
715: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
716: would like to know more, the mailing list
717: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
