1.847 ! deraadt 53: The following list sums up (almost) all the changes made up to October 17.
! 54: <p>
! 55:
1.422 deraadt 56: <ul>
1.847 ! deraadt 57: <li>Improved media support and a boundary check fix for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi&sektion=4">wi(4)</a>.
! 58: <li>Have <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=route&sektion=8">route(8)</a> correctly interpret -prefixlen 32 (or 128 for IPv6) network as a host route.
! 59: <li>Enable uvm_tree_sanity() check #ifdef DEBUG.
! 60: <li>Fix a potential null deref in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=route&sektion=8">route(8)</a>'s arguments parser.
! 61: <li>Renumber <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ch&sektion=4">ch(4)</a> CHIO* ioctls. Old definitions renamed to OCHIO*, binary backwards compatibility will be left in intact until post-3.3.
! 62: <li>Teach <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=kdump&sektion=1">kdump(1)</a> to print AUDIO_* ioctls, and add a few missing syscall defines.
! 63: <li>Support <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fxp&sektion=4">fxp(4)</a> on big-endian architectures.
! 64: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> allows protocols to be specified by a (valid) protocol number.
! 65: <li>Add a missing free() in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pflogd&sektion=8">pflogd(8)</a>.
! 66: <!-- ^ 20021017 -->
! 67: <li>Treat manually- and auto-configured IPv6 address prefixes the same way.
! 68: <li>For positively POSIX reasons, implement <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=isfdtype&sektion=3">isfdtype(3)</a>.
! 69: <li>Bring <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pax&sektion=1">pax(1)</a>'s date handling code back into sync with that in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=date&sektion=1">date(1)</a>. Four digit years parse now.
! 70: <li>Start to break out machine-dependent parts of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=MAKEDEV&sektion=8">MAKEDEV(8)</a> into separate files.
! 71: <li>Send <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ksh&sektion=1">ksh</a>.kshrc label() and ilable() output to /dev/tty insted of stdout, so command output streams doesn't get messed up.
! 72: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace&sektion=1">systrace(1)</a> supports system call-granularity privilege elevation!
! 73: <li>Correct a typo in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace&sektion=1">systrace(1)</a> that was causing group predicates to be evaluated incorrectly.
! 74: <li>Range-check values given to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=atactl&sektion=8">atactl(8)</a>.
! 75: <li>Better mask comparision for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> binat.
! 76: <!-- ^ 20021016 -->
! 77: <li>Remove the setuid bit from <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=login&sektion=1">login(1)</a>. If run with a non-root euid, it invokes <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=su&sektion=1">su(1)</a> with the new -L flag.
! 78: <li>Add '-L' flag to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=su&sektion=1">su(1)</a> to make it work like <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=login&sektion=1">login(1)</a>.
! 79: <li>Enable the META key in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ksh&sektion=1">ksh(1)</a> for 7-bit locales.
! 80: <li>Make sure some varargs end-of-list sentinel NULLs are pointer-width.
! 81: <li>Fix a subtle dangling pointer bug in BSD auth.
! 82: <li>Sync Brazil's Daylight Savings Time handling with new reality.<br>
! 83: <a href="stable.html"><font color=#00b000>[Applied to stable]</font></a>
! 84: <li>Stop <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=makewhatis&sektion=8">makewhatis(8)</a> grumbling about having Perl 5.8.x instead of 5.6.x.
! 85: <!-- ^ 20021015 -->
! 86: <li>In the X server, work around problems caused by certain MTRR configurations whose details are only available under NDA.
! 87: <li>Kernel tweaks and hacks in preparation for GCC 3.x (kern/subr_prf.c)
! 88: <li>Some fixes in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pool&sektion=9">pool(9)</a>.
! 89: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> can now binat a whole netblock with one rule.
! 90: <!-- ^ 20021014 -->
! 91: <li>Remove a potential null pointer deref in BSD authentication code.
! 92: <li>Fix a bad printf format string in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ftpd&sektion=8">ftpd(8)</a>. Non-critical because it's only ever fed by parts of the authentication system which sanitise the input first.
! 93: <li>Do some more unsigned checks to system call parameters, as with the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=setitimer&sektion=2">setitimer(2)</a> <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/errata31.html#kerntime">erratum</a>.<br>
! 94: <a href="stable.html"><font color=#00b000>[Applied to stable]</font></a>
! 95: <!-- ^ 20021013 -->
! 96: <li>Prepare the GNU floating-point emulation code on i386 for ELF.
! 97: <!-- ^ 20021012 -->
! 98: <li>Update <a href="stable.html">stable</a> to OpenSSH 3.5.
! 99: <li>Catch some endianness nits and add zero-padding of keys in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi&sektion=4">wi(4)</a>.
! 100: <li>Teach ALTQ CBQ the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> API. The old API remains for now.
! 101: <!-- ^ 20021011 -->
! 102: <li>Fix memory corruption that could cause panics in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bridge&sektion=4">bridge(4)</a>d systems with scrub enabled.
! 103: <li>Fix a bug in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mbuf_tags&sektion=9">m_tag_copy_chain()</a>.
! 104: <!-- ^ 20021010 -->
! 105: <li>Hush up noisy IPv6 neighbor discovery. Can be made loud again using sysctl net.inet6.icmp6.nd6_debug.
! 106: <!-- ^ 20021009 -->
! 107: <li>In Sendmail, fix a potential bypass of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=smrsh&sektion=8">smrsh(8)</a> (see the Sendmail.org <a href="http://www.sendmail.org/smrsh.adv.txt">advisory</a>.)
! 108: <li>Make predicates part of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace&sektion=1">systrace(1)</a>'s grammar.
! 109: <!-- ^ 20021008 -->
! 110: <li>Start work on a merge of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=altq&sektion=9">altq(9)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> functionality. Oh yes.
! 111: <li>Add a missing htons() in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=talkd&sektion=8">talkd(8)</a>.
! 112: <li>In pmdb, fix a crash that occurred when an attempt to set a breakpoint failed.
! 113: <li>Support SA_RESETHAND support to libc_r, in preparation for SA_SIGINFO support.
! 114: <li>Merge in Apache 1.3.27 and mod_ssl 2.8.11.
! 115: <li>New block-policy option to set the default response to a block rule.
! 116: <li>More rulebase reduction: "block return ..." now does The Right Thing, RST for TCP, ICMP for UDP, silent block otherwise.

! 120: <li>Have the X server complain less about unknown scancodes.
! 121: <!-- ^ 20021007 -->
! 122: <li>Initialise the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=uvm&sektion=9">uvm</a>_pglistalloc result list in the function, instead of requiring the caller to do it.
! 123: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslog&sektion=3">syslog(3)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslog_r&sektion=3">syslog_r(3)</a> now take the new __syslog__ format attribute.

! 134: <li>Fix cross-site scripting vulnerability (<a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0840">CAN-2002-0840</a>) in the default error page of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=httpd&sektion=8">httpd(8)</a>.
