1.1 benno 292: <ul>
1.2 benno 293: <li>Add ability to constrain an RPKI Trust Anchor's effective signing
294: authority to a limited set of Internet numbers. This allows Relying
295: Parties to enjoy the potential benefits of assuming trust, but within
296: a bounded scope.
297: <li>Following a 'failed fetch' (described in RFC 9286), emit a warning and
298: continue with a previously cached Manifest file.

312: <li>Fix a race condition between closing an idle connection and scheduling a
313: new request on it.
314: <li>The evaluation time specified with -P now also applies to trust anchor
315: certificates.
316: <li>Check that the entire CMS eContent was consumed. Previously, trailing
317: data would be silently discarded on deserialization of products.
318: <li>In file mode do not consider overclaiming intermediate CA certificates
319: as invalid. OAA warning is still issued.
320: <li>Print the revocation time of certificates in file mode.
321: <li>Be more careful when converting OpenSSL numeric identifiers (NIDs)
322: to strings.
323: <!-- 9.0 -->

325: <li>Added an -x flag to opt into parsing and evaluation of file types that are
326: still considered experimental.
327: <li>Added a metric to track the number of new files that were moved to the
328: validated cache.
329: <li>Ensure that the FileAndHashes list in a Manifest contains no duplicate
330: file names and no duplicate hashes.
1.1 benno 331: </ul>

336: the submission port.
337: <li>Added support for RFC 7505 "Null MX" handling and treat
338: an MX of "localhost" as it were a "Null MX".
339: <li>Allow inline tables and filter listings in
340: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf.5">smtpd.conf(5)</a>
341: to span over multiple lines.
342: <li>Enabled <abbr title="Delivery Status Notification">DSN</abbr>
343: for the implicit socket too.
344: <li>Added the
345: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf.5#no-dsn~2">no-dsn</a>
346: option for <code>listen on socket</code> too.

1.16 djm 490: <li><a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>, <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8'>sshd(8)</a>: implement protocol extensions to thwart the
491: so-called "Terrapin attack" discovered by Fabian Bäumer, Marcus
492: Brinkmann and Jörg Schwenk. This attack allows a MITM to effect a
493: limited break of the integrity of the early encrypted SSH transport
494: protocol by sending extra messages prior to the commencement of
495: encryption, and deleting an equal number of consecutive messages
496: immediately after encryption starts. A peer SSH client/server
497: would not be able to detect that messages were deleted.
498:
499: <br>While cryptographically novel, the security impact of this attack
500: is fortunately very limited as it only allows deletion of
501: consecutive messages, and deleting most messages at this stage of
1.17 gnezdo 502: the protocol prevents user authentication from proceeding and
1.16 djm 503: results in a stuck connection.
504:
505: <br>The most serious identified impact is that it lets a MITM to
506: delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication
507: starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke
508: timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5. There is no
509: other discernable impact to session secrecy or session integrity.
510:
511: <li><a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1'>ssh-agent(1)</a>: when adding PKCS#11-hosted private keys while
512: specifying destination constraints, if the PKCS#11 token returned
513: multiple keys then only the first key had the constraints applied.
514: Use of regular private keys, FIDO tokens and unconstrained keys
515: are unaffected.
516:
517: <li><a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>: if an invalid user or hostname that contained shell
518: metacharacters was passed to <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>, and a ProxyCommand,
519: LocalCommand directive or "match exec" predicate referenced the
520: user or hostname via %u, %h or similar expansion token, then
521: an attacker who could supply arbitrary user/hostnames to <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>
522: could potentially perform command injection depending on what
523: quoting was present in the user-supplied <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5'>ssh_config(5)</a> directive.
524:
525: <br>OpenSSH 9.6 now
526: bans most shell metacharacters from user and hostnames supplied
527: via the command-line. This countermeasure is not guaranteed to be
528: effective in all situations, as it is infeasible for <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a> to
529: universally filter shell metacharacters potentially relevant to
530: user-supplied commands.
531:
532: <br>User/hostnames provided via <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5'>ssh_config(5)</a> are not subject to these
533: restrictions, allowing configurations that use strange names to
534: continue to be used, under the assumption that the user knows what
535: they are doing in their own configuration files.

1.16 djm 539: <li><a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>, <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8'>sshd(8)</a>: add a "global" ChannelTimeout type that watches
540: all open channels and will close all open channels if there is no
541: traffic on any of them for the specified interval. This is in
542: addition to the existing per-channel timeouts added recently.
543: <br>This supports situations like having both session and x11
544: forwarding channels open where one may be idle for an extended
545: period but the other is actively used. The global timeout could
546: close both channels when both have been idle for too long.

855: <h3>How to upgrade</h3>
856: <p>
857: If you already have an OpenBSD 7.4 system, and do not want to reinstall,
858: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
859: <a href="faq/upgrade75.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.

864: <section id=sourcecode>
865: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
866: <p>
867: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
868: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
869: which are in a separate archive.
870: To extract:
871: <blockquote><pre>
872: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
873: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
874: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
875: </pre></blockquote>
876: <p>
877: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
878: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
879: To extract:
880: <blockquote><pre>
881: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
882: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
883: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
884: </pre></blockquote>
885: <p>
886: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
887: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
888: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
889: Using these files
890: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
891: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

897: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
898: <p>
899: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
900: <blockquote><pre>
901: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
902: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
903: </pre></blockquote>
904: <p>
905: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
906: if you know nothing about ports
907: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
908: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
909: OpenBSD ports system.
910: <p>
911: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
912: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
913: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
914: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
915: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
916: with a command like:
917: <blockquote><pre>
918: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
919: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_5</kbd>
920: </pre></blockquote>
921: <p>
922: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
923: server.]
924: <p>
925: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
926: ports for the 7.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
927: <p>
928: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
929: would like to know more, the mailing list
930: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
