1.51 benno 226: using ranges with a step value in cron. This extends the random range
227: syntax to support step values. Instead of choosing a random number
228: between the high and low values, the field is treated as a range with

1.61 benno 236: using the shutdown/reboot functionality with group "operator" will
237: notice it no longer works. They need to move themselves to the new
238: group.
239: <li>Extend and improve the ibuf API in <a
240: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ibuf_add_buf.3">libutil</a> and add
241: function for more specific data types, for modifying data at specific
242: offsets, for getting and setting the filedescriptor stored on the ibuf
243: and for efficient wrapping of ibufs into imesgs. The ibuf API is
244: mostly used in network daemons.
245: <li>Introduce malloc option "D" for leak detection in malloc(3). To
246: produce and view leak reports via ktrace(1) and kdump(1) can be used.
1.59 schwarze 247: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsconsctl.8">wsconsctl(8)</a>,

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

734: <ul>
1.23 claudio 735: <li>A 30%-50% performance improvement was achieved through libcrypto's
736: partial chains certificate validation feature. Already validated
737: non-inheriting CA certificates are now marked as trusted roots. This
738: way it can be ensured that a leaf's delegated resources are properly
739: covered, and at the same time most validation paths are
740: significantly shortened.
741: <li>Support for gzip and deflate HTTP Content-Encoding compression was
742: added. This allows web servers to send RRDP XML in compressed form,
743: saving around 50% of bandwidth.
744: <li>ASPA support was updated to draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16.
745: As part of supporting AFI-agnostic ASPAs, the JSON syntax for
746: Validated ASPA Payloads changed in both filemode and normal output.
747: <li>In filemode (-f option) the applicable manifests are now shown as
748: part of the signature path.
749: <li>A new -P option was added to manually specify a moment in time
750: to use when parsing the validity window of certificates. Useful
751: for regression testing. Default is invocation time of rpki-client.
752: <li>The -A option will now also exclude ASPA data from the JSON output.
753: <li>The synchronisation protocol used to sync the repository is now
754: included in the OpenMetrics output.
755: <li>Improved accounting by tracking objects both by repo and tal.
756: <li>Check whether products listed on a manifest were issued by the same
757: authority as the manifest itself.
758: <li>File modification timestamps of objects retrieved via RRDP are now
759: deterministically set to prepare the on-disk cache for seamless
760: failovers from RRDP to RSYNC.
761: <li>Improved detection of RRDP session desynchronization: a check was
762: added to compare whether the delta hashes associated to previously
763: seen serials are different in newly fetched notification files.
764: <li>Improved handling of RRDP deltas in which objects are published,
765: withdrawn, and published again.
766: <li>Disallow X.509 v2 issuer and subject unique identifiers in certs.
767: RPKI CAs will never issue certificates with V2 unique identifiers.
768: <li>A check to disallow duplicate X.509 certificate extensions was
769: added.
770: <li>A check to disallow empty sets of IP Addresses or AS numbers in RFC
771: 3779 extensions was added.
772: <li>A warning is printed when the CMS signing-time attribute in a Signed
773: Object is missing.
774: <li>Warnings about unrecoverable message digest mismatches now include
775: the manifestNumber to aid debugging the cause.
776: <li>A check was added to disallow multiple RRDP publish elements for the
777: same file in RRDP snapshots. If this error condition is encountered,
778: the RRDP transfer is failed and the RP falls back to rsync.
779: <li>A compliance check for the proper X.509 Certificate version and CRL
780: version was added.
781: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure CMS Signed Objects contain
782: SignedData, in accordance to RFC 6488 section 3 checklist item 1a.
783: <li>Compliance checks were added for the version, KeyUsage, and
784: ExtendedKeyUsage of EE certificates in Manifest, TAK, and GBR Signed
785: Objects.
786: <li>A CMS signing-time value being after the X.509 notAfter timestamp
787: was downgraded from an error to a warning.
788: <li>A bug was fixed in the handling of CA certificates which inherit IP
789: resources.
790: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the X.509 Subject only
791: contains commonName and optionally serialNumber.
792: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the CMS SignedData and
793: SignerInfo versions to be 3.
794: <li>Fisher-Yates shuffle the order in which Manifest entries are
795: processed. Previously, work items were enqueued in the order the CA
796: intended them to appear on a Manifest. However, there is no obvious

1.12 dtucker 1063: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1064: add keystroke timing obfuscation to the client. This attempts
1065: to hide inter-keystroke timings by sending interactive traffic at
1066: fixed intervals (default: every 20ms) when there is only a small
1067: amount of data being sent. It also sends fake "chaff" keystrokes for
1068: a random interval after the last real keystroke. These are
1069: controlled by a new ssh_config ObscureKeystrokeTiming keyword.
1070: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
1071: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1072: Introduce a transport-level ping facility. This adds
1073: a pair of SSH transport protocol messages SSH2_MSG_PING/PONG to
1074: implement a ping capability. These messages use numbers in the "local
1075: extensions" number space and are advertised using a "ping@openssh.com"
1076: ext-info message with a string version number of "0".
1.13 dtucker 1077: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1078: allow override of Subsystem directives in sshd Match blocks.
1079: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1080: allow forwarding Unix Domain sockets via ssh -W.
1081: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1082: add support for configuration tags to ssh(1).
1083: This adds a ssh_config(5) "Tag" directive and corresponding
1084: "Match tag" predicate that may be used to select blocks of
1085: configuration similar to the pf.conf(5) keywords of the same
1086: name.
1087: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1088: add a "match localnetwork" predicate. This allows matching
1089: on the addresses of available network interfaces and may be used to
1090: vary the effective client configuration based on network location.
1091: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
1092: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
1093: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1094: infrastructure support for KRL
1095: extensions. This defines wire formats for optional KRL extensions
1096: and implements parsing of the new submessages. No actual extensions
1097: are supported at this point.
1098: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1099: AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand and AuthorizedKeysCommand now
1100: accept two additional %-expansion sequences: %D which expands to
1101: the routing domain of the connected session and %C which expands
1102: to the addresses and port numbers for the source and destination
1103: of the connection.
1104: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1105: increase the default work factor (rounds) for the
1106: bcrypt KDF used to derive symmetric encryption keys for passphrase
1107: protected key files by 50%.
1.1 deraadt 1108: </ul>
1109: <li>Bugfixes
1110: <ul>
1.12 dtucker 1111: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>:
1112: fix scp in SFTP mode recursive upload and download of
1113: directories that contain symlinks to other directories. In scp mode,
1114: the links would be followed, but in SFTP mode they were not.
1115: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1116: handle cr+lf (instead of just cr) line endings in
1117: sshsig signature files.
1118: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1119: interactive mode for ControlPersist sessions if they
1120: originally requested a tty.
1121: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1122: make PerSourceMaxStartups first-match-wins
1123: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1124: limit artificial login delay to a reasonable maximum (5s)
1125: and don't delay at all for the "none" authentication mechanism.
1.13 dtucker 1126: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1127: Log errors in kex_exchange_identification() with level
1.12 dtucker 1128: verbose instead of error to reduce preauth log spam. All of those
1129: get logged with a more generic error message by sshpkt_fatal().
1130: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1131: correct math for ClientAliveInterval that caused the probes
1132: to be sent less frequently than configured.
1.13 dtucker 1133: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
1134: improve isolation between loaded PKCS#11 modules
1135: by running separate ssh-pkcs11-helpers for each loaded provider.
1136: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1137: make -f (fork after authentication) work correctly with
1138: multiplexed connections, including ControlPersist.
1139: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1140: make ConnectTimeout apply to multiplexing sockets and not
1141: just to network connections.
1142: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>,
1143: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1144: improve defences against invalid PKCS#11
1145: modules being loaded by checking that the requested module
1146: contains the required symbol before loading it.
1147: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1148: fix AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand when AuthorizedKeysCommand
1149: appears before it in sshd_config. Since OpenSSH 8.7 the
1150: AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand directive was incorrectly ignored in
1151: this situation.
1152: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
1153: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
1154: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.16 jsg 1155: remove vestigial support for KRL
1.13 dtucker 1156: signatures When the KRL format was originally defined, it included
1157: support for signing of KRL objects. However, the code to sign KRLs
1.16 jsg 1158: and verify KRL signatures was never completed in OpenSSH. This
1.13 dtucker 1159: release removes the partially-implemented code to verify KRLs.
1160: All OpenSSH tools now ignore KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE sections in
1161: KRL files.
1162: <li>All: fix a number of memory leaks and unreachable/harmless integer
1163: overflows.
1164: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1">ssh-agent(1)</a>,
1165: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1166: don't truncate strings logged from PKCS#11 modules
1167: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>,
1168: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1169: better validate CASignatureAlgorithms in
1170: ssh_config and sshd_config. Previously this directive would accept
1171: certificate algorithm names, but these were unusable in practice as
1172: OpenSSH does not support CA chains.
1173: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1174: make <code>ssh -Q CASignatureAlgorithms</code> only list signature
1175: algorithms that are valid for CA signing. Previous behaviour was
1176: to list all signing algorithms, including certificate algorithms.
1177: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keyscan.1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
1178: gracefully handle systems where rlimits or the
1179: maximum number of open files is larger than INT_MAX
1180: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1181: fix "no comment" not showing on when running
1182: <code>ssh-keygen -l</code> on multiple keys where one has a comment
1183: and other following keys do not.
1184: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>,
1.14 dtucker 1185: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp.1">sftp(1)</a>:
1.13 dtucker 1186: adjust ftruncate() logic to handle servers that
1187: reorder requests. Previously, if the server reordered requests then
1188: the resultant file would be erroneously truncated.
1189: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1190: don't incorrectly disable hostname canonicalization when
1.16 jsg 1191: CanonicalizeHostname=yes and ProxyJump was explicitly set to
1.13 dtucker 1192: "none".
1193: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>:
1194: when copying local to remote, check that the source file
1195: exists before opening an SFTP connection to the server.

1489: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1490: <p>
1491: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1492: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1493: which are in a separate archive.
1494: To extract:
1495: <blockquote><pre>
1496: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1497: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1498: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1499: </pre></blockquote>
1500: <p>
1501: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1502: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1503: To extract:
1504: <blockquote><pre>
1505: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1506: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1507: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1508: </pre></blockquote>
1509: <p>
1510: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1511: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1512: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1513: Using these files
1514: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1515: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1523: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1524: <blockquote><pre>
1525: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1526: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1527: </pre></blockquote>
1528: <p>
1529: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1530: if you know nothing about ports
1531: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1532: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1533: OpenBSD ports system.
1534: <p>
1535: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1536: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1537: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1538: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1539: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1540: with a command like:
1541: <blockquote><pre>
1542: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 1543: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 1544: </pre></blockquote>
1545: <p>
1546: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1547: server.]
1548: <p>
1549: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1550: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1551: <p>
1552: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1553: would like to know more, the mailing list
1554: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
