1.1 deraadt 234: </ul>
235:
1.7 tb 236: <li>LibreSSL version 3.8.2
1.1 deraadt 237: <ul>
1.7 tb 238: <li>Security fixes
239: <ul>
240: <li>Disabled TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 in libssl so that they may no longer
241: be selected for use.
242: <li>BN_is_prime{,_fasttest}_ex() refuse to check numbers larger than
243: 32 kbits for primality. This mitigates various DoS vectors.
244: <li>Restricted the RFC 3779 code to IPv4 and IPv6. It was not written
245: to be able to deal with anything else.
246: </ul>
247: <li>Portable changes
248: <ul>
249: <li>Extended the endian.h compat header with hto* and *toh macros.
250: <li>Adapted more tests to the portable framework.
251: <li>Internal tools are now statically linked.
252: <li>Applications bundled as part of the LibreSSL package internally,
253: nc(1) and openssl(1), now are linked statically if static libraries
254: are built.
255: <li>Internal compatibility function symbols are no longer exported from
256: libcrypto. Instead, the libcompat library is linked to libcrypto,
257: libssl, and libtls separately. This increases size a little, but
258: ensures that the libraries are not exporting symbols to programs
259: unintentionally.
260: <li>Selective removal of CET implementation on platforms where it is
261: not supported (macOS).
262: <li>Integrated four more tests.
263: <li>Added Windows ARM64 architecture to tested platforms.
264: <li>Removed Solaris 10 support, fixed Solaris 11.
265: <li>libtls no longer links statically to libcrypto / libssl unless
266: <code>--enable-libtls-only</code> is specified at configure time.
267: <li>Improved Windows compatibility library, namely handling of files vs
268: sockets, correcting an exception when operating on a closed socket.
269: <li>CMake builds no longer hardcode <code>-O2</code> into the compiler flags,
270: instead using flags from the CMake build type instead.
271: <li>Set the CMake default build type to <code>Release</code>. This can be overridden
272: during configuration.
273: <li>Fixed broken ASM support with MinGW builds.
274: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 275: <li>New features
276: <ul>
1.7 tb 277: <li>Added support for truncated SHA-2 and for SHA-3.
278: <li>The BPSW primality test performs additional Miller-Rabin rounds
279: with random bases to reduce the likelihood of composites passing.
280: <li>Allow testing of ciphers and digests using badly aligned buffers
281: in openssl speed using -unalign.
282: <li>Ed25519 certificates are now supported in openssl(1) ca and req.
283: Prepared Ed25519 support in libssl.
284: <li>Add branch target information (BTI) support to amd64 and arm64
285: assembly.
1.1 deraadt 286: </ul>
287: <li>Compatibility changes
288: <ul>
1.7 tb 289: <li>Added a workaround for a poorly thought-out change in OpenSSL 3 that
290: broke privilege separation support in libtls.
291: <li>Moved libtls from ECDSA_METHOD to EC_KEY_METHOD.
292: <li>Removed GF2m support: BIGNUM no longer supports binary extension
293: field arithmetic and all binary elliptic builtin curves were removed.
294: <li>Removed dangerous, "fast" NIST prime and elliptic curve implementations.
295: In particular, EC_GFp_nist_method() is no longer available.
296: <li>Removed most public symbols that were deprecated in OpenSSL 0.9.8.
297: <li>Removed the public X9.31 API (RSA_X931_PADDING is still available).
298: <li>Removed Cipher Text Stealing mode.
299: <li>Removed ENGINE support, including ECDH_METHOD and ECDSA_METHOD.
300: <li>Removed COMP, DSO, dynamic loading of conf modules and support for
301: custom ex_data and error stacks.
302: <li>Removed proxy certificate (RFC 3820) support.
303: <li>Removed SXNET and NETSCAPE_CERT_SEQUENCE support including the
1.8 tb 304: openssl(1) nseq command.
1.7 tb 305: <li>ENGINE support was removed and OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE is set. In spite
306: of this, some stub functions are provided to avoid patching some
307: applications that do not honor OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE.
308: <li>The POLICY_TREE and its related structures and API were removed.
309: <li>In X509_VERIFY_PARAM_inherit() copy hostflags independently of the
310: host list.
311: <li>Made CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() not return 0 to allow applications
312: to use *_{get,set}_app_data() and *_{get,set}_ex_data() alongside
313: each other.
314: <li>X509_NAME_get_text_by_{NID,OBJ}() now only succeed if they contain
315: valid UTF-8 without embedded NUL.
316: <li>The explicitText user notice uses UTF8String instead of VisibleString
317: to reduce the risk of emitting certificates with invalid DER-encoding.
318: <li>Initial fixes for RSA-PSS support to make the TLSv1.3 stack more
319: compliant with RFC 8446.
320: <li>Fixed EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length() to return what was set with
321: EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_IVLEN or one of its aliases.
1.1 deraadt 322: </ul>
1.7 tb 323: <li>Internal improvements
1.1 deraadt 324: <ul>

329: to replace the old exponential time code.
330: <li>Converted more of libcrypto to use CBB/CBS.
331: <li>Started cleaning up and rewriting SHA internals.
332: <li>Reduced the dependency of hash implementations on many layers of

712: <p>
713: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
714: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
715: which are in a separate archive.
716: To extract:
717: <blockquote><pre>
718: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
719: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
720: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
721: </pre></blockquote>
722: <p>
723: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
724: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
725: To extract:
726: <blockquote><pre>
727: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
728: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
729: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
730: </pre></blockquote>
731: <p>
732: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
733: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
734: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
735: Using these files
736: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
737: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

748: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>

750: <p>
751: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
752: if you know nothing about ports
753: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
754: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
755: OpenBSD ports system.
756: <p>
757: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
758: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
759: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
760: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
761: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
762: with a command like:
763: <blockquote><pre>
764: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 765: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 766: </pre></blockquote>
767: <p>
768: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
769: server.]
770: <p>
771: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
772: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
773: <p>
774: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
775: would like to know more, the mailing list
776: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
