Changes made between OpenBSD 5.9 and 6.0
- Unbreak rsu(4).
- In rtwn(4) and urtwn(4), fix byteswap errors. This repairs urtwn(4) on macppc.
- In mesa, disable the code that allocates W|X memory.
- Disable tmpfs.
- In rarpd(8), avoid a hang when the receive buffer of a route socket becomes full.
- In newfs(8), revert the change to scale the default "density" value to create the same number of inodes.
- In bgpd(8), initialize the log subsytem in the SE like it is done in the RDE. This avoids all logging from going to /dev/null.
- When closing bpf(4) devices, ensure the minor number becomes free for reuse by the device cloning code. This fixes a panic.
- In perl(1), patch CVE-2016-1238.
- In tcpdump(8), only chroot(2) when run as root.
- 5.8 and 5.9 RELIABILITY FIX: When signaling an error to an HTTP relay client, the connection can be terminated prematurely, leading to a crash.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem for 5.8 and 5.9.
- In the installer, back out the automatic pkg.conf(5) installpath changes.
- In dhclient(8), back out the change that narrowed the BPF read filter rules so only packets sent to the interface's LLADDR pass. Some DHCP servers send frames to the ethernet broadcast address.
- In imxuart(4/armv7), re-create the i.MX6 console with the correct minor number on attach.
- Disable POOL_DEBUG.
- In newfs(8), scale the default "density" value so that on 4K disks the same number of inodes are creates as on DEV_BSIZE devices.
- In stty(1), error out if the display and modify mode are combined on the command line. This avoids a pledge(2) violation.
- vmm(4/amd64), fix a few CPUID emulation issues.
- In ssh(1), fix pledge(2) violation with the -f option.
- Attach imx(4/armv7) on i.mx6 quad plus.
- In dhclient(8), actually DECLINE and delete unused offers.
- In fec(4/armv7), fallback to the known IRQ number on imx.6 if the fdt interrupts-extended property is missing or not the size that is expected.
- In rtable(4), prevent an infinite recursion when deleting routes inside rtable_walk().
- Prevent NULL-pointer call for filesystems that don't provide vfs_sysctl in their vfsops structs.
- In relayd(8), fix a crash when the connection is terminated prematurely.
- Fix a double rtfree(9) triggered when IPSEC inserts a more specific route because of PMTU.
- In ssh(1):
everse the order in which -J/JumpHost proxies are visited to be more intuitive.
- In switchd(8), add basic support for OpenFlow 1.3 PACKET_IN+PACKET_OUT, no FLOW_MOD yet.
- In bgpd(8), don't quit when the local addresses of a peer can't be figured out. Instead bring the session down.
- In tcpbench(1), add AF_UNIX support and also make it possible to randomize the write size in the client.
- In rtwn(4) and urtwn(4), respect the RTS threshold set by net80211.
- In tcpdump(8), silently ignore chroot(2) setup failure, because pledge(2) provides an even better sandbox. This regain -r support.
- In sshd(8), skip passwords longer than 1024 characters in length, so clients can't easily DoS sshd by sending very long passwords.
- Use pledge(2) in switchd(8) and switchctl(8).
- In softraid(4), plug potential leak of device list.
- In switchd(8), parse and print OpenFlow 1.3 PACKET_IN and OXM (Openflow eXtended Match).
- In netstat(1), print the relevant counters to tune the TCP SYN cache.
- In iwm(4), disable the beacon filter. This make it possible to keep track of HT protection changes.
- In net80211, enable RTS for frames above a particular size. This change allows for reasonable throughput on loaded 11g networks whereas before they were practically unusable.
- In switchd(8), update OpenFlow 1.3 stub based on the 1.0 code.
- In switchd(8), add the -n flag to check the configuration and exit.
- In iwm(4), properly keep track of HT protection changes while associated.
- Unbreak ural(4), which had been dropping frames on Tx while the IFF_RUNNING flag was set.
- In ehci(4), use for ATI controllers the same workaround as for VIA controllers. This should hopefully help people reporting errors with SB700.
- Add the tcp.synhashsize sysctl(8) to make the size for the syn cache hash array tunable.
- In dhclient(8), narrow the BPF read filter rules so only packets sent to the interface's LLADDR pass. This limits the number of packets that get dropped as a result of dhclient setting BIOCSFILDROP on the bpf descriptor.
- Import switch(4), switchd(8) and switchctl(8), a basic work-in-progress OpenFlow implementation (not build by default).
- In carp(4), fix the check supposed to prevent "ip" and "ip-stealth" balancing modes from leaking the multicast address.
- In sshd_config(5), allow wildcard for PermitOpen hosts as well as ports (bz#2582).
- In "rcctl ls", skip all files with a "." in the name, because pkg_add(1) renames files in this way when the checksums don't match.
- In netstart(8), unbreak vlan(4) on top of tap(4).
- In virtio, always allow MSI/MSI-X. This enables MSI-X with qemu's old "82441FX" pci-bridge.
- In sxitimer(4/armv7), explicitly stop the timers before reloading them. This fixes a hang on the Olimex A10s boards.
- In doas(1), copy the path to the shell from struct passwd to prevent it from being overridden by a getpwuid(3) call. This happens in a double doas call.
- In iwm(4):
- Retry Tx of management frames less often.
- Fix inverted logic in iwm_tx().
- Explicitly set firmware Tx aggregation limit to one (which disables Tx aggregation).
- In pstat(8), fix VFLAG formatting.
- In ssh(1), reduce timing attack against obsolete CBC modes by always computing the MAC over a fixed size of data.
- In kdump(1), ktrace(1) and ltrace(1), add "p" trace point for KTRFAC_PLEDGE, and fix handling of -t+ in ltrace(1).
- Attach sunxi(4/armv7) based on the compatible property of the root node of the device tree.
- In ssh(1), support UTF-8 characters in ssh banners (bz#2058).
- In jot(1), fix a bug causing values to be printed out of bounds if the precision is 0.
- In ldpd(8):
- Fix parsing of malformed optional TLVs/Sub-TLVs.
- Remove potential overflow when validating message's length.
- In virtio(4), support MSI-X. This increases performance for interrupt heavy loads.
- In libssl, limit the support of the "backward compatible" ssl2 handshake to only be used if TLS 1.0 is enabled.
- In ldpd(8):
- Update per-neighbor GTSM options on config reload.
- Explicitly ignore the Hop Count and Path Vector TLVs.
- Improve logging of reserved labels.
- Disable acpicbkbd(4) by default until after the release. It causes the kernel to spin forever on certain Chromebooks.
- In ssh(1), reduce the syslog level of some relatively common protocol events from LOG_CRIT (bz#2585).
- Add a ProxyJump ssh_config(5) option and a corresponding -J ssh(1) command-line flag to allow simplified indirection through a SSH bastion or "jump host".
- 5.8 and 5.9 RELIABILITY FIX: Splicing sockets in a loop could cause a kernel spin.
A source code patch is available for 5.8 and 5.9.
- 5.8 and 5.9 RELIABILITY FIX: ufs_readdir failed to limit size of memory allocation, leading to panics.
A source code patch is available for 5.8 and 5.9.
- 5.8 and 5.9 SECURITY FIX: The mmap extension __MAP_NOFAULT could overcommit resources and crash the system.
A source code patch is available for 5.8 and 5.9.
- 5.8 and 5.9 RELIABILITY FIX: Tick counting overflows could cause a kernel crash.
A source code patch is available for 5.8 and 5.9.
- 5.8 and 5.9 RELIABILITY FIX: Invalid file descriptor use with kevent(2) could lead to a kernel crash.
A source code patch is available for 5.8 and 5.9.
- 5.8 and 5.9 RELIABILITY FIX: Unchecked parameters and integer overflows in the amap allocation routines could cause malloc(9) to either not allocate enough memory, leading to memory corruption, or to trigger a "malloc: allocation too large" panic.
A source code patch is available for 5.8 and 5.9.
- 5.9 RELIABILITY FIX: Multiple processes exiting with a fd-passing control message on a shared socket could crash the system.
A source code patch is available for 5.9.
- 5.9 RELIABILITY FIX: A race occuring in the unlocked ARP input path can lead to a kernel NULL dereference.
A source code patch is available for 5.9.
- Ensure that amap slot calculation does not overflow. This prevents from too small amaps being allocated by forcing the allocation of a large number of slots.
- Ignore the kern.usermount sysctl(8). It is unsafe, because it allows any non-pledge(2)'d program to call the mount/umount system calls. The sysctl will be completely removed in 6.1.
- In ip6(4), drop received packets with an IPv4-compatible address as source or destination as per RFC4213.
- In fec(4/armv7), do board-specific delay/skew corrections for the Micrel KSZ9021 and KSZ9031 PHYs based on device tree properties instead of the board ID.
- Prevent a use-after-free by not updating an ARP entry that has been removed from the table.
- In vioblk(4), properly handle poll timeout.
- Avoid a panic caused by very big mallocs for the ufs_readdir() buffer which should have been limited to 64 kB.
- Avoid a panic caused by very big mallocs that result from uint64-to-int32 truncation when kevent does fd validation.
- On amd64, add hvn(4), a work-in-progress driver for the Hyper-V NetVSC.
- In calendar(1), when matching a day in the month, ensure the date is still in the month we are interested in. This
fixes things like Sunday+5 for months where there is not a 5th Sunday.
- In bpgd(8), output the no-longer-so-new AS operators when printing the configuration.
- In libtls, split the existing TLS cipher suite groups into four: secure, compat, legacy and insecure.
- Check resource limits for mappings established using __MAP_NOFAULT. This prevents callers from triggering a kernel panic and a potential integer overflow in the amap code by forcing the allocation of too many slots.
- In imxehci(4), use the device tree voltage regulator information to supply power to the USB bus, because this only supports "fixed" regulators that are controlled through a gpio.
- Fix a crash when MNT_DOOMED is passed in the flags to unmount(2).
- In syslogd(8), add support for TLS client certificates in syslogd. This allows the remote server to verify the authenticity of received messages.
- In tmpfs, don't allow mounting with noval owner. It causes a panic later on.
- In factor(6), use an integer version of the Newton method instead of the floating point square root. This fixes a rounding issue.
- In imxesdhc(4/armv7) and fec(4/armv7), use the gpio framework to implement card detect instead of hardcoding particular gpios based on board IDs.
- Hook up imxgpio(4) to the FDT gpio framework.
- Fix path MTU discovery which was slightly broken: it took two ICMP packets to create and change the dynamic route.
- In tcp(4), do not increase the size of the socket buffer under memory pressure.
- In tcpdump(8), recognize MPLS pseudowire with control words. Also print encapsulated ethernet packets.
- In acpimadt(4), properly handle Processor Local X2APIC structures. This makes secondary CPUs attach on the HP DL360 gen 9.
- Dynamically attach imxgpio(4) using the FDT.
- In mandoc(1), fix a bug causing .so links to gzipped manuals to fail in the absence of a mandoc.db(5) database.
- In omap(4/armv7), follow imx and match based on the compatible property of the root node in the fdt instead of attaching the device based on board IDs.
- Dynamically attach i.MX6 ehci(4) using the FDT.
- In ssh(1), improve crypto ordering for Encrypt-then-MAC (EtM) mode MAC algorithms. This prevents the possibility of a side-channel oracle, though no such oracle has been identified.
- In perl(1), fix a bug where XSLoader could try to load from a subdir of the cwd when called via eval (CVE-2016-6185).
- In malloc(3), correctly implement the three-valued J/j option.
- In syslogd.conf(5), allow space-deliminated fields in syslog.conf in addition to traditional tabs-deliminated fields.
- Various cleanups in route6d(8).
- Fix several places where calculating ticks could overflow, because on arithmetic overflows the compiler may decide to do anything.
- In libtls, correctly handle an EOF that occurs prior to the TLS handshake completing.
- Update to tzdata2016f.
- Build eeprom(8) on octeon.
- On octeon, add openprom(4).
- In libcrypto, add several fixes to make OCSP work with intermediate certificates provided in the response.
- In ld.so(1), remove unfinished prebind support.
- Avoid an integer overflow of the thrsleep() timeout. This prevents a panic.
- On the Quad-G5, make hpb(4) attach first when iterating PCI buses to allow openpic(4) to properly map interrupt for the devices instead of possibly dereferencing garbage.
- In rtable(4)
- In savecore(8), drop support for the undocumented second argument.
- In rcs(1), implement the -I option.
- In smtpd(8), add the -r option to the enqueuer for compatibility with mailx.
- Introduce the "chown" pledge(2).
- Update to perl 5.20.3.
- In rebound(8), avoid a crash by checking the cache tree for collisions when inserting replies.
- In aoa(4/macppc), support the AOAShasta soundchip found on PowerMac9,1.
- In ldpd(8):
- Add GTSM support (RFC 6720).
- Decrease the initialization FSM timeout. This allows quicker recovery of a session with a neighbor.
- Improve RFC 4447 compliance.
- In cat(1), indent the '$' on blank lines when the -ne options are used.
- Make accepted sockets inherit IP_TTL from the listening socket.
- Allow resetting the IP_TTL and IP_MINTTL sockopts.
- Fix an issue where syslogd.8 would print 15 NUL bytes followed by two blank spaces before the log message for warnings generated while parsing syslog.conf.
- Add acpicbkbd(4), a simple keyboard backlight driver for some Chromebooks.
- On armv7, allow booting on SolidRun's HummingBoards and CuBoxes.
- In sndiod(8), avoid triggering watchdog time-outs which prevent sndiod from resuming.
- Update perl Time::HiRes to 1.9739.
- Bump LibreSSL to 2.4.2.
- In rtadvd(8), prevent a NULL dereference.
- In malloc(3), adapt the S option: add C, and remove F and P.
- In inet6(4), restore the automagically added /64 route on p2p interfaces in order to send traffic to link-local addresses without default route.
- In ssh(1), explicitly check for 100% completion in the progress meter. This avoids a potential floating point rounding error which could cause the progress meter to report 99% on completion.
- In vi(1), if /tmp/vi.recover doesn't exist, don't create it. Warn once that it doesn't exist, afterwards fail silently.
- In smtpd(8), explicitly enclose SMTP transactions between BEGIN and COMMIT/ROLLBACK filter events.
- In ioapic(4/amd64), don't write to the read-only RIRR bit in the IOAPIC redirection register. This may subsequently block interrupt delivery.
- In nc(1), add the -M and -m options to specify the outgoing and incoming minimum TTL.
- In fts_open(3):
- Do not return an error if one of the paths in argv is empty. This prevents programs using fts(3) from reporting an error if one of the paths is empty.
- When the list passed is empty, return EINVAL instead of pretending to succeed. This avoids a NULL pointer dereference in a later fts_read(3) call.
- Add the net.inet.ip.arptimeout and net.inet.ip.arpdown sysctl(8)'s for ARP timers.
- In bgpd(8), use IPV6_MINHOPCOUNT to finish implementing ttl-security for IPv6.
- Update to xkeyboard-config 2.18.
- In pkg_info(1), implement -z that uses is-branch info to produce "complete" stem--[flavor][%branch] listing.

- On vmm(4/amd64), fix a panic when CPUs fail to spin up for other reasons during boot.
- On amd64 and i386, enable the UMIP feature if present.
- Enable ure(4) on the architectures where url(4) already is.
- 5.9 SECURITY FIX: Correct a problem that could result in incorrect parsing/encoding of times in OCSP messages.
A source code patch is available for 5.9.
- Repair kill(2) on zombie processes.
- In ldpd(8), fix a logic bug causing the advertised transport connection preference (LDPoIPv4 or LDPoIPv6) not to be respected.
- In iwn(4), revert the implementation of iwn_update_htprot(). We are still seeing links dropping upon HT protection updates with some iwn chips.
- Restore the sys_o58_kill system call. This provides a clean transition for runtimes that make direct system calls.
- Make the IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS socket option usable for incoming TCP connections.
- In ip6(4), implement IPV6_MINHOPCOUNT support.
- In doas(1), revise environment handling. Add a "setenv" keyword to doas.conf(5) for manipulating the environment, the "keepenv" now means only retain everything.
- Add ure(4), a driver for Realtek RTL8152 10/100 USB Ethernet adapters.
- In pkg_add(1), make scp:// work with PKG_CACHE.
- In bcrypt(3), increase the minimum for auto rounds to 6.
- In login.conf(5), use auto rounds for bcrypt (on amd64, i386, macppc and sparc64).
- Dynamically attach cpsw(4/armv7) with the FDT.
- Dynamically attach tiiic(4/armv7) using the FDT. Only match on omap4 compatible controllers such as the one in the am335x on BeagleBone Black.
- Dynamically attach omdog(4/armv7) using the FDT.
- In pkg_add(1), recognize @option is-branch.
- Fix a pledge(2) issue with "fdisk /dev/tty".
- In libcrypto:
- Fix the ocsp code to actually check for errors when comparing time values. Ensure that it only compared GERNERALIZEDTIME values as per RFC6960.
- Ensure that OCSP uses Generalized Time on requests as per RFC6960.
- In pf(4), make nat-to usable by in rules and together with divert-to. Collisions with existing states are found and produce a "NAT proxy port allocation failed" message.
- Update to nsd 4.1.10.
- Log to syslogd(8) when the dmesg(8) buffer overflows and messages are lost.
- When pf_test() returns something but PF_PASS, set error to EACCES instead of EHOSTUNREACH. On the latter, ip_forward() can generate undesired ICMP errors.
- In pax(1), allow creation of devices or fifo without -p.
- In sshd(8), fix AuthenticationMethods during configuration re-parse.
- In fec(4/armv7), fetch MAC address from FDT.
- In unbound(8):
- Update to unbound 1.5.9.
- Fix a segfault in the -h option.
- Fix QNAME minimisation with various broken DNS servers, often found at CDNs.
- In cn30xxgmx(4/octeon), add support for the second GMX interface on the Octeon II. This enables ports eth[0-3] on 8-port EdgeRouters.
- In iwm(4):
- Explicitly send multicast frames at the lowest rate, instead of picking a rate from the firmware RS table.
- Pass the correct Tx rate to BPF (tcpdump(8)) for 5GHz.
- Don't loop over CCK rates when building the Link-Quality command's RS table for 5GHz.
- Let the firmware deal with DTIM and TSF information details by itself. Fixes some association issues with 8260 hardware.
- Clear the in_assoc flag when going down.
- Add hyperv(4), the main Hyper-V nexus driver (work in progress).
- On amd64, set up the Hyper-V hypercall page and an IDT vector.
- In bgpd(8), dvmrpd(8), eigrpd(8), hostapd(8), httpd(8), ifstated(8), iked(8), ipsecctl(8), iscsictl(8), ldapd(8), ldpd(8), ospf6d(8), ospfd(8), pfctl(8), relayd(8), ripd(8), smtpd(8), snmpd(8), vmd(8), ypldap(8), do not allow whitespace in macro names, i.e. "this is" = "a variable".
- In ld.so(1), when handling DT_TEXTREL only set the mapping to READ+WRITE, ignore possible EXEC permission for the section, because the proper permission is set late, and there are no thread concerns in this case. This avoids W^X issues.
- In efifb(4), add support for drawing a console on a coreboot framebuffer. This is useful on chromebooks that have no legacy vga device or, for newer chipsets, a full console and X with wsfb(4).
- In pf.conf(5), change the parser to make af-to on pass out rules an error. This fixes a bug where a nonworking configuration could be loaded.
- On m88k, add sc_cookie in sigcontext, as same as other ports.
- In audioctl(1):
- Reimplement it using new API in a simper way.
- Group all encoding parameters in a single string (ex. "s16le") so that we use the same naming scheme as aucat, sndiod and many ports.
- Remove "properties" as they are not used any longer.
- Remove the list of encodings as there's no benefit in having it.
- Add the -q option, to look like sysctl(8).
- Remove the unused -a option.
- Stop using symlinks in /dev.
- In libcrypto, disable DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, always enable constant-time behavior.
- In openssl(1), fix a bug loading the default certificate path locations. The files would only be loaded if the CAfile or CApath locations were successfully loaded first.
- In ld(1), make creation of text-relocations a fatal error by default, with -znotext to permit it and -ztext to reenable the default of forbidding it.
- In bgpd(8), show the "nexthop 1.2.3.4 now valid: via 192.168.0.1" message only in debug mode.
- Add ds1307(4), an I2C driver for the Maxim DS1307 Real Time Clock chip.
- In iwm(4), send PHY DB commands as async commands. This change makes it work better in RAMDISK kernels.
- Make umb(4) also work with devices that implement both NCM 1.0 and MBIM.
- Dynamically attach omap uart with FDT.
- Remove the lockmgr(9) API.
- In rcctl(8):
- Cache the result of often used functions.
- Implement "rcctl get|getdef all".
- In ldpd(8):
- Fix a use-after-free.

- Dynamically attach ommmc(4/armv7) with FDT.
- In ldpd(8):
- Fix a small LIB-LFIB synchronization issue.
- Do not allow configuring the same interface for both LDP and VPLS.
- In smtpd(8), also add missing date or message-id when listening on the submit port.
- In sshd_config(5), ban AuthenticationMethods="" and accept AuthenticationMethods=any for the default behaviour of not requiring multiple authentication (bz#2398).
- In pfctl(8), allow "include" in inline anchors.
- In tmux(1), allow a command to be specified to display-panes rather than always just selecting the pane.
- In acpitoshiba(4), enable suspend/hibernate fn keys.
- In smtpd(8):
- Rework the format of the "Received" header so that the TLS part does not violate the RFC.
- Increase number of connections a local address is allowed to establish, and decrease the delay between transactions in the same session.
- Properly reset the transaction when a filter rejects a message.
- Add umb(4), a driver for the Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) to provide support for USB MBIM devices.
- In tmux(1):
- Add -F to list-commands.
- Automatically exit all modes after 180 seconds of inactivity and if there is pending output.
- In ssh(1), remove "POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!" from log message about forward and reverse DNS not matching (part of bz#2585).
- Update to tzdata2016e.
- In pkg_add(1), restrict %m and friends to "separate words" so they won't collide with branch specifiers.
- In pppoe(4) and sppp(4), don't hardcode vlan/queue priority for pppoe packets, but instead inherit it from the new "llprio" setting on the pppoe(4) interface.
- In the timeout_add_*(3), prevent a round to zero.
- In pkg_add(1), implement "pkgname%branch" which can be used to restrict matches to a branch matching the pkgpath(7).
- Dynamically attach imxdog(4) using the FDT.
- Avoid socket splicing loops: if the same mbuf is spliced 128 times, assume that there is a loop and abort the splicing.
- In ldpd(8):
- Rework the handling of Hello packets in order to improve IPv6 support.
- Implement a timeout for the session initialization FSM. This prevents neighbors stuck in the initialization FSM to linger forever as long as the associated transport connection is up.
- Implement support for the Configuration Sequence Number TLV.
- In utvfu(4), start/stop the audio bulk thread as the consumer opens/closes device.
- In uvm_map(9), avoid grabbing the kernel lock for interrupt-safe pools.
- In uhidev(4), do not execute the callback if the device is beeing detached. This should prevent a race triggering a use-after-free.
- Correct the pledge for "disklabel(8) -R -[fF]".
- Dynamically fec(4/armv7) using the FDT.
- In sxie(4/armv7) and sxiuart(4/armv7), handle both the nintr 1 (allwinner a10/cortex a8) and nintr 3 (allwinner a20/cortex a7) cases.
- On armv7, ignore everything from ":" onward in stdout-path when finding the console node. Characters after this are device-specific settings.
- Dynamically attach imxuart using the FDT.
- In exuart(4/armv7), override the address found with FDT if the board ID is c210, because the qemu smdkc210 target uses serial0 for console while the exynos4210-universal_c210 dtb specifies stdout as serial2.
- Dynamically attach sxiuart using the FDT.
- Dynamically attach sxie(4/armv7) using the FDT.
- In ldpd(8):
- Fix parsing of multiple optional TLVs in label and notification messages. This fixes IxANVL LDP test 15.3.
- Make it possible to parse unknown TLVs in the future.
- Send an "Unknown FEC" Notification for unexpected wildcard FECs. This fixes ANVL LDP test 15.6.
- Add missing ntohl(3) when recording a label request. This fixes the following ANVL LDP tests: 1.5 and 9.4.
- Parse the whole Hello packet before processing it. This fixes a bug where we could create a dynamic targeted neighbor in response to a malformed packet.
- In ifconfig(8), add the "llprio" parameter to set the priority of packets that do not go through pf(4).
- In acpi(4), don't attempt to attach acpitimer(4) if the timer isn't present. The power management timer has been made optional in ACPI 5.0A.

- In ld.so(1), accommodate ELF ABIs that require a PLT that is both writable and executable, without causing W^X violations.
- In sshd(8), revert src/usr.bin/ssh/kexgexs.c r1.28 ("Check min and max sizes sent by the client"). It caused "key_verify failed for server_host_key" in clients that send a DH-GEX min value less that DH_GRP_MIN.

- In the install script, set the "wxallowed" mount(8) option for the filesystem /usr/local resides on.
- No longer allow W^X violations by default. A kernel log message is generated, and mprotect(2) and mmap(2) return ENOTSUP. If the kern.wxabort sysctl(8) is set, a SIGABRT occurs instead. W^X-violating programs can be permitted per FFS/NFS filesystem, using the "wxallowed" mount(8) option.
- In aucat(1), when resampling, use the exact resampling factor instead of the ratio between input and output block sizes. This change makes playback/recording rate match exactly the requested sample rate.
- In httpd(8), return 400 (Bad Request) instead of 500 (Internal Server Error) for requests not specifying the HTTP version.
