1.51 benno 228: using ranges with a step value in cron. This extends the random range
229: syntax to support step values. Instead of choosing a random number
230: between the high and low values, the field is treated as a range with

1.61 benno 238: using the shutdown/reboot functionality with group "operator" will
239: notice it no longer works. They need to move themselves to the new
240: group.
241: <li>Extend and improve the ibuf API in <a
242: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ibuf_add_buf.3">libutil</a> and add
243: function for more specific data types, for modifying data at specific
244: offsets, for getting and setting the filedescriptor stored on the ibuf
245: and for efficient wrapping of ibufs into imesgs. The ibuf API is
246: mostly used in network daemons.
247: <li>Introduce malloc option "D" for leak detection in malloc(3). To
248: produce and view leak reports via ktrace(1) and kdump(1) can be used.
1.59 schwarze 249: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsconsctl.8">wsconsctl(8)</a>,

268: <li>Prevent a read buffer overrun in
269: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/patch.1">patch(1)</a>
270: that could occur when a patch specified a file name ending in a slash.
271: <li>Let <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/stat.1">stat(1)</a>
272: correctly print mtimes after 2038.
1.21 schwarze 273: <li>Refactoring and documenting of
274: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> code,
275: to make it easier to maintain.
1.34 krw 276: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a>
277: no longer adds extra blanks at the end of lines, eliminating
278: spurious line wrapping.

736: <ul>
1.23 claudio 737: <li>A 30%-50% performance improvement was achieved through libcrypto's
738: partial chains certificate validation feature. Already validated
739: non-inheriting CA certificates are now marked as trusted roots. This
740: way it can be ensured that a leaf's delegated resources are properly
741: covered, and at the same time most validation paths are
742: significantly shortened.
743: <li>Support for gzip and deflate HTTP Content-Encoding compression was
744: added. This allows web servers to send RRDP XML in compressed form,
745: saving around 50% of bandwidth.
746: <li>ASPA support was updated to draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16.
747: As part of supporting AFI-agnostic ASPAs, the JSON syntax for
748: Validated ASPA Payloads changed in both filemode and normal output.
749: <li>In filemode (-f option) the applicable manifests are now shown as
750: part of the signature path.
751: <li>A new -P option was added to manually specify a moment in time
752: to use when parsing the validity window of certificates. Useful
753: for regression testing. Default is invocation time of rpki-client.
754: <li>The -A option will now also exclude ASPA data from the JSON output.
755: <li>The synchronisation protocol used to sync the repository is now
756: included in the OpenMetrics output.
757: <li>Improved accounting by tracking objects both by repo and tal.
758: <li>Check whether products listed on a manifest were issued by the same
759: authority as the manifest itself.
760: <li>File modification timestamps of objects retrieved via RRDP are now
761: deterministically set to prepare the on-disk cache for seamless
762: failovers from RRDP to RSYNC.
763: <li>Improved detection of RRDP session desynchronization: a check was
764: added to compare whether the delta hashes associated to previously
765: seen serials are different in newly fetched notification files.
766: <li>Improved handling of RRDP deltas in which objects are published,
767: withdrawn, and published again.
768: <li>Disallow X.509 v2 issuer and subject unique identifiers in certs.
769: RPKI CAs will never issue certificates with V2 unique identifiers.
770: <li>A check to disallow duplicate X.509 certificate extensions was
771: added.
772: <li>A check to disallow empty sets of IP Addresses or AS numbers in RFC
773: 3779 extensions was added.
774: <li>A warning is printed when the CMS signing-time attribute in a Signed
775: Object is missing.
776: <li>Warnings about unrecoverable message digest mismatches now include
777: the manifestNumber to aid debugging the cause.
778: <li>A check was added to disallow multiple RRDP publish elements for the
779: same file in RRDP snapshots. If this error condition is encountered,
780: the RRDP transfer is failed and the RP falls back to rsync.
781: <li>A compliance check for the proper X.509 Certificate version and CRL
782: version was added.
783: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure CMS Signed Objects contain
784: SignedData, in accordance to RFC 6488 section 3 checklist item 1a.
785: <li>Compliance checks were added for the version, KeyUsage, and
786: ExtendedKeyUsage of EE certificates in Manifest, TAK, and GBR Signed
787: Objects.
788: <li>A CMS signing-time value being after the X.509 notAfter timestamp
789: was downgraded from an error to a warning.
790: <li>A bug was fixed in the handling of CA certificates which inherit IP
791: resources.
792: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the X.509 Subject only
793: contains commonName and optionally serialNumber.
794: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the CMS SignedData and
795: SignerInfo versions to be 3.
796: <li>Fisher-Yates shuffle the order in which Manifest entries are
797: processed. Previously, work items were enqueued in the order the CA
798: intended them to appear on a Manifest. However, there is no obvious

1.1 deraadt 1064: <ul>
1.12 dtucker 1065: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1066: add keystroke timing obfuscation to the client. This attempts
1067: to hide inter-keystroke timings by sending interactive traffic at
1068: fixed intervals (default: every 20ms) when there is only a small
1069: amount of data being sent. It also sends fake "chaff" keystrokes for
1070: a random interval after the last real keystroke. These are
1071: controlled by a new ssh_config ObscureKeystrokeTiming keyword.
1072: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
1073: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1074: Introduce a transport-level ping facility. This adds
1075: a pair of SSH transport protocol messages SSH2_MSG_PING/PONG to
1076: implement a ping capability. These messages use numbers in the "local
1077: extensions" number space and are advertised using a "ping@openssh.com"
1078: ext-info message with a string version number of "0".
1.13 dtucker 1079: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1080: allow override of Subsystem directives in sshd Match blocks.
1081: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1082: allow forwarding Unix Domain sockets via ssh -W.
1083: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1084: add support for configuration tags to ssh(1).
1085: This adds a ssh_config(5) "Tag" directive and corresponding
1086: "Match tag" predicate that may be used to select blocks of
1087: configuration similar to the pf.conf(5) keywords of the same
1088: name.
1089: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1090: add a "match localnetwork" predicate. This allows matching
1091: on the addresses of available network interfaces and may be used to
1092: vary the effective client configuration based on network location.
1093: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
1094: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
1095: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1096: infrastructure support for KRL
1097: extensions. This defines wire formats for optional KRL extensions
1098: and implements parsing of the new submessages. No actual extensions
1099: are supported at this point.
1100: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1101: AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand and AuthorizedKeysCommand now
1102: accept two additional %-expansion sequences: %D which expands to
1103: the routing domain of the connected session and %C which expands
1104: to the addresses and port numbers for the source and destination
1105: of the connection.
1106: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1107: increase the default work factor (rounds) for the
1108: bcrypt KDF used to derive symmetric encryption keys for passphrase
1109: protected key files by 50%.
1.1 deraadt 1110: </ul>
1111: <li>Bugfixes
1112: <ul>
1.12 dtucker 1113: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>:
1114: fix scp in SFTP mode recursive upload and download of
1115: directories that contain symlinks to other directories. In scp mode,
1116: the links would be followed, but in SFTP mode they were not.
1117: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1118: handle cr+lf (instead of just cr) line endings in
1119: sshsig signature files.
1120: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1121: interactive mode for ControlPersist sessions if they
1122: originally requested a tty.
1123: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1124: make PerSourceMaxStartups first-match-wins
1125: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1126: limit artificial login delay to a reasonable maximum (5s)
1127: and don't delay at all for the "none" authentication mechanism.
1.13 dtucker 1128: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1129: Log errors in kex_exchange_identification() with level
1.12 dtucker 1130: verbose instead of error to reduce preauth log spam. All of those
1131: get logged with a more generic error message by sshpkt_fatal().
1132: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1133: correct math for ClientAliveInterval that caused the probes
1134: to be sent less frequently than configured.
1.13 dtucker 1135: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
1136: improve isolation between loaded PKCS#11 modules
1137: by running separate ssh-pkcs11-helpers for each loaded provider.
1138: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1139: make -f (fork after authentication) work correctly with
1140: multiplexed connections, including ControlPersist.
1141: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1142: make ConnectTimeout apply to multiplexing sockets and not
1143: just to network connections.
1144: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>,
1145: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1146: improve defences against invalid PKCS#11
1147: modules being loaded by checking that the requested module
1148: contains the required symbol before loading it.
1149: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1150: fix AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand when AuthorizedKeysCommand
1151: appears before it in sshd_config. Since OpenSSH 8.7 the
1152: AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand directive was incorrectly ignored in
1153: this situation.
1154: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
1155: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
1156: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.16 jsg 1157: remove vestigial support for KRL
1.13 dtucker 1158: signatures When the KRL format was originally defined, it included
1159: support for signing of KRL objects. However, the code to sign KRLs
1.16 jsg 1160: and verify KRL signatures was never completed in OpenSSH. This
1.13 dtucker 1161: release removes the partially-implemented code to verify KRLs.
1162: All OpenSSH tools now ignore KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE sections in
1163: KRL files.
1164: <li>All: fix a number of memory leaks and unreachable/harmless integer
1165: overflows.
1166: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>,
1167: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1168: don't truncate strings logged from PKCS#11 modules
1169: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
1170: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1171: better validate CASignatureAlgorithms in
1172: ssh_config and sshd_config. Previously this directive would accept
1173: certificate algorithm names, but these were unusable in practice as
1174: OpenSSH does not support CA chains.
1175: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1176: make <code>ssh -Q CASignatureAlgorithms</code> only list signature
1177: algorithms that are valid for CA signing. Previous behaviour was
1178: to list all signing algorithms, including certificate algorithms.
1179: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keyscan.1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
1180: gracefully handle systems where rlimits or the
1181: maximum number of open files is larger than INT_MAX
1182: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1183: fix "no comment" not showing on when running
1184: <code>ssh-keygen -l</code> on multiple keys where one has a comment
1185: and other following keys do not.
1186: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>,
1.14 dtucker 1187: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp.1">sftp(1)</a>:
1.13 dtucker 1188: adjust ftruncate() logic to handle servers that
1189: reorder requests. Previously, if the server reordered requests then
1190: the resultant file would be erroneously truncated.
1191: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1192: don't incorrectly disable hostname canonicalization when
1.16 jsg 1193: CanonicalizeHostname=yes and ProxyJump was explicitly set to
1.13 dtucker 1194: "none".
1195: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>:
1196: when copying local to remote, check that the source file
1197: exists before opening an SFTP connection to the server.

1491: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1492: <p>
1493: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1494: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1495: which are in a separate archive.
1496: To extract:
1497: <blockquote><pre>
1498: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1499: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1500: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1501: </pre></blockquote>
1502: <p>
1503: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1504: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1505: To extract:
1506: <blockquote><pre>
1507: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1508: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1509: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1510: </pre></blockquote>
1511: <p>
1512: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1513: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1514: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1515: Using these files
1516: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1517: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1527: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1528: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1529: </pre></blockquote>
1530: <p>
1531: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1532: if you know nothing about ports
1533: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1534: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1535: OpenBSD ports system.
1536: <p>
1537: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1538: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1539: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1540: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1541: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1542: with a command like:
1543: <blockquote><pre>
1544: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 1545: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 1546: </pre></blockquote>
1547: <p>
1548: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1549: server.]
1550: <p>
1551: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1552: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1553: <p>
1554: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1555: would like to know more, the mailing list
1556: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
