286:
1.7 tb 287: <li>LibreSSL version 3.8.2
1.1 deraadt 288: <ul>
1.7 tb 289: <li>Security fixes
290: <ul>
291: <li>Disabled TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 in libssl so that they may no longer
292: be selected for use.
293: <li>BN_is_prime{,_fasttest}_ex() refuse to check numbers larger than
294: 32 kbits for primality. This mitigates various DoS vectors.
295: <li>Restricted the RFC 3779 code to IPv4 and IPv6. It was not written
296: to be able to deal with anything else.
297: </ul>
298: <li>Portable changes
299: <ul>
300: <li>Extended the endian.h compat header with hto* and *toh macros.

304: nc(1) and openssl(1), now are linked statically if static libraries
305: are built.
306: <li>Internal compatibility function symbols are no longer exported from
307: libcrypto. Instead, the libcompat library is linked to libcrypto,
308: libssl, and libtls separately. This increases size a little, but
309: ensures that the libraries are not exporting symbols to programs
310: unintentionally.
311: <li>Selective removal of CET implementation on platforms where it is
312: not supported (macOS).
313: <li>Integrated four more tests.
314: <li>Added Windows ARM64 architecture to tested platforms.
315: <li>Removed Solaris 10 support, fixed Solaris 11.
316: <li>libtls no longer links statically to libcrypto / libssl unless
317: <code>--enable-libtls-only</code> is specified at configure time.
318: <li>Improved Windows compatibility library, namely handling of files vs
319: sockets, correcting an exception when operating on a closed socket.
320: <li>CMake builds no longer hardcode <code>-O2</code> into the compiler flags,
321: instead using flags from the CMake build type instead.
322: <li>Set the CMake default build type to <code>Release</code>. This can be overridden
323: during configuration.
324: <li>Fixed broken ASM support with MinGW builds.
325: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 326: <li>New features
327: <ul>
1.7 tb 328: <li>Added support for truncated SHA-2 and for SHA-3.
329: <li>The BPSW primality test performs additional Miller-Rabin rounds
330: with random bases to reduce the likelihood of composites passing.
331: <li>Allow testing of ciphers and digests using badly aligned buffers
332: in openssl speed using -unalign.
333: <li>Ed25519 certificates are now supported in openssl(1) ca and req.
334: Prepared Ed25519 support in libssl.
335: <li>Add branch target information (BTI) support to amd64 and arm64
336: assembly.
1.1 deraadt 337: </ul>
338: <li>Compatibility changes
339: <ul>
1.7 tb 340: <li>Added a workaround for a poorly thought-out change in OpenSSL 3 that
341: broke privilege separation support in libtls.
342: <li>Moved libtls from ECDSA_METHOD to EC_KEY_METHOD.
343: <li>Removed GF2m support: BIGNUM no longer supports binary extension
344: field arithmetic and all binary elliptic builtin curves were removed.
345: <li>Removed dangerous, "fast" NIST prime and elliptic curve implementations.
346: In particular, EC_GFp_nist_method() is no longer available.
347: <li>Removed most public symbols that were deprecated in OpenSSL 0.9.8.
348: <li>Removed the public X9.31 API (RSA_X931_PADDING is still available).
349: <li>Removed Cipher Text Stealing mode.
350: <li>Removed ENGINE support, including ECDH_METHOD and ECDSA_METHOD.
351: <li>Removed COMP, DSO, dynamic loading of conf modules and support for
352: custom ex_data and error stacks.
353: <li>Removed proxy certificate (RFC 3820) support.
354: <li>Removed SXNET and NETSCAPE_CERT_SEQUENCE support including the
1.8 tb 355: openssl(1) nseq command.
1.7 tb 356: <li>ENGINE support was removed and OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE is set. In spite
357: of this, some stub functions are provided to avoid patching some
358: applications that do not honor OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE.
359: <li>The POLICY_TREE and its related structures and API were removed.
360: <li>In X509_VERIFY_PARAM_inherit() copy hostflags independently of the
361: host list.
362: <li>Made CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() not return 0 to allow applications
363: to use *_{get,set}_app_data() and *_{get,set}_ex_data() alongside
364: each other.
365: <li>X509_NAME_get_text_by_{NID,OBJ}() now only succeed if they contain
366: valid UTF-8 without embedded NUL.
367: <li>The explicitText user notice uses UTF8String instead of VisibleString
368: to reduce the risk of emitting certificates with invalid DER-encoding.
369: <li>Initial fixes for RSA-PSS support to make the TLSv1.3 stack more
370: compliant with RFC 8446.
371: <li>Fixed EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length() to return what was set with
372: EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_IVLEN or one of its aliases.
1.1 deraadt 373: </ul>
1.7 tb 374: <li>Internal improvements
1.1 deraadt 375: <ul>

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

1.12 dtucker 454: <li>Potentially incompatible changes
1.1 deraadt 455: <ul>
1.12 dtucker 456: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
457: generate Ed25519 keys by default. Ed25519 public keys
458: are very convenient due to their small size. Ed25519 keys are
459: specified in RFC 8709 and OpenSSH has supported them since version 6.5
460: (January 2014).
461: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
462: the Subsystem directive now accurately preserves quoting of
463: subsystem commands and arguments. This may change behaviour for exotic
464: configurations, but the most common subsystem configuration
465: (sftp-server) is unlikely to be affected.
1.13 dtucker 466: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
467: PKCS#11 modules must now be specified by their full
468: paths. Previously dlopen(3) could search for them in system
469: library directories.
1.1 deraadt 470: </ul>
1.12 dtucker 471: <li>New features
1.1 deraadt 472: <ul>
1.12 dtucker 473: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
474: add keystroke timing obfuscation to the client. This attempts
475: to hide inter-keystroke timings by sending interactive traffic at
476: fixed intervals (default: every 20ms) when there is only a small
477: amount of data being sent. It also sends fake "chaff" keystrokes for
478: a random interval after the last real keystroke. These are
479: controlled by a new ssh_config ObscureKeystrokeTiming keyword.
480: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
481: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
482: Introduce a transport-level ping facility. This adds
483: a pair of SSH transport protocol messages SSH2_MSG_PING/PONG to
484: implement a ping capability. These messages use numbers in the "local
485: extensions" number space and are advertised using a "ping@openssh.com"
486: ext-info message with a string version number of "0".
1.13 dtucker 487: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
488: allow override of Subsystem directives in sshd Match blocks.
489: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
490: allow forwarding Unix Domain sockets via ssh -W.
491: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
492: add support for configuration tags to ssh(1).
493: This adds a ssh_config(5) "Tag" directive and corresponding
494: "Match tag" predicate that may be used to select blocks of
495: configuration similar to the pf.conf(5) keywords of the same
496: name.
497: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
498: add a "match localnetwork" predicate. This allows matching
499: on the addresses of available network interfaces and may be used to
500: vary the effective client configuration based on network location.
501: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
502: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
503: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
504: infrastructure support for KRL
505: extensions. This defines wire formats for optional KRL extensions
506: and implements parsing of the new submessages. No actual extensions
507: are supported at this point.
508: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
509: AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand and AuthorizedKeysCommand now
510: accept two additional %-expansion sequences: %D which expands to
511: the routing domain of the connected session and %C which expands
512: to the addresses and port numbers for the source and destination
513: of the connection.
514: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
515: increase the default work factor (rounds) for the
516: bcrypt KDF used to derive symmetric encryption keys for passphrase
517: protected key files by 50%.
1.1 deraadt 518: </ul>
519: <li>Bugfixes
520: <ul>
1.12 dtucker 521: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>:
522: fix scp in SFTP mode recursive upload and download of
523: directories that contain symlinks to other directories. In scp mode,
524: the links would be followed, but in SFTP mode they were not.
525: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
526: handle cr+lf (instead of just cr) line endings in
527: sshsig signature files.
528: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
529: interactive mode for ControlPersist sessions if they
530: originally requested a tty.
531: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
532: make PerSourceMaxStartups first-match-wins
533: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
534: limit artificial login delay to a reasonable maximum (5s)
535: and don't delay at all for the "none" authentication mechanism.
1.13 dtucker 536: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
537: Log errors in kex_exchange_identification() with level
1.12 dtucker 538: verbose instead of error to reduce preauth log spam. All of those
539: get logged with a more generic error message by sshpkt_fatal().
540: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
541: correct math for ClientAliveInterval that caused the probes
542: to be sent less frequently than configured.
1.13 dtucker 543: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
544: improve isolation between loaded PKCS#11 modules
545: by running separate ssh-pkcs11-helpers for each loaded provider.
546: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
547: make -f (fork after authentication) work correctly with
548: multiplexed connections, including ControlPersist.
549: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
550: make ConnectTimeout apply to multiplexing sockets and not
551: just to network connections.
552: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>,
553: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
554: improve defences against invalid PKCS#11
555: modules being loaded by checking that the requested module
556: contains the required symbol before loading it.
557: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
558: fix AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand when AuthorizedKeysCommand
559: appears before it in sshd_config. Since OpenSSH 8.7 the
560: AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand directive was incorrectly ignored in
561: this situation.
562: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
563: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
564: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.16 jsg 565: remove vestigial support for KRL
1.13 dtucker 566: signatures When the KRL format was originally defined, it included
567: support for signing of KRL objects. However, the code to sign KRLs
1.16 jsg 568: and verify KRL signatures was never completed in OpenSSH. This
1.13 dtucker 569: release removes the partially-implemented code to verify KRLs.
570: All OpenSSH tools now ignore KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE sections in
571: KRL files.
572: <li>All: fix a number of memory leaks and unreachable/harmless integer
573: overflows.
574: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>,
575: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
576: don't truncate strings logged from PKCS#11 modules
577: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
578: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
579: better validate CASignatureAlgorithms in
580: ssh_config and sshd_config. Previously this directive would accept
581: certificate algorithm names, but these were unusable in practice as
582: OpenSSH does not support CA chains.
583: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
584: make <code>ssh -Q CASignatureAlgorithms</code> only list signature
585: algorithms that are valid for CA signing. Previous behaviour was
586: to list all signing algorithms, including certificate algorithms.
587: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keyscan.1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
588: gracefully handle systems where rlimits or the
589: maximum number of open files is larger than INT_MAX
590: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
591: fix "no comment" not showing on when running
592: <code>ssh-keygen -l</code> on multiple keys where one has a comment
593: and other following keys do not.
594: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>,
1.14 dtucker 595: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp.1">sftp(1)</a>:
1.13 dtucker 596: adjust ftruncate() logic to handle servers that
597: reorder requests. Previously, if the server reordered requests then
598: the resultant file would be erroneously truncated.
599: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
600: don't incorrectly disable hostname canonicalization when
1.16 jsg 601: CanonicalizeHostname=yes and ProxyJump was explicitly set to
1.13 dtucker 602: "none".
603: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>:
604: when copying local to remote, check that the source file

1.3 jsg 890: If you already have an OpenBSD 7.3 system, and do not want to reinstall,
1.1 deraadt 891: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

898: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
899: <p>
900: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
901: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
902: which are in a separate archive.
903: To extract:
904: <blockquote><pre>
905: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
906: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
907: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
908: </pre></blockquote>
909: <p>
910: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
911: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
912: To extract:
913: <blockquote><pre>
914: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
915: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
916: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
917: </pre></blockquote>
918: <p>
919: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
920: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
921: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
922: Using these files
923: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
924: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

930: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
931: <p>
932: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
933: <blockquote><pre>
934: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
935: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
936: </pre></blockquote>
937: <p>
938: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
939: if you know nothing about ports
940: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
941: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
942: OpenBSD ports system.
943: <p>
944: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
945: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
946: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
947: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
948: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
949: with a command like:
950: <blockquote><pre>
951: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 952: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 953: </pre></blockquote>
954: <p>
955: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
956: server.]
957: <p>
958: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
959: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
960: <p>
961: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
962: would like to know more, the mailing list
963: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
