Claudio Jeker (claudio@) announced the release of version 8.9 of OpenBGPD, the OpenBSD project's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) daemon:

We have released OpenBGPD 8.9, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * In verbose mode log the NOTIFICATION data for UPDATE errors.

    * Fix a busy loop error in the pfkey handling for OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

    * Introduce monotime - an internal time API using microsecond
      resolution.

    * Fix accounting of the pending update counter

    * Use new ibufq interface instead of handrolling the same.

    * Large refactoring of internal APIs to make the code easier to share
      and cleaner.

The OpenBSD project has announced the release of version 9.6 of rpki-client:

crank to 7.8-beta

7.8-beta snapshots are already starting to appear on OpenBSD mirrors.

Time to bring out your odd machines and give snapshots a go, if we want 7.8 to be the best release yet.

Version 0.118 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated):

• security fix for -portable: gotwebd can be tricked into reading repositories outside its repos_path; bug introduced in got-0.111; OpenBSD is not affected
• make 'tog diff' show the repository name in names of patches written to /tmp
• plug memory leaks which were making gotwebd regress tests fail
• fix parallel processing of requests in gotwebd, improving responsiveness
• set gotwebd pledges according to address families of listening sockets
• run gotwebd fcgi parameter parsing in a dedicated process under pledge "stdio"
• make gotd commit notifications only show history which is unique to the branch
• enable sftp/scp support in the sshd_config file generated by gotsysd
• make gotsysd-managed repositories readable for the _gotd group

OpenBSD -current has gained initial support for the Raspberry Pi 5:

Rafael Sadowski (rsadowski@) completed updates to C++ libraries in -current:

This gives us a modern c++ lib in base!

Yubikey OTP support has been disabled in -current. The commit message explains the rationale:

CVSROOT:	/cvs
Module name:	src
Changes by:	deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org	2025/08/14 08:39:44

Modified files:
	sys/dev/usb    : ukbd.c 

Log message:
Most Yubikey ship with OTP support enabled out of the box (and generate
accidental output like cccccblddbkhelgbdjuughbjdcvrddggdcjvricrriuk).
Yubikey re-configuration requires crazy buggy and fragile tools using crazy
usb feature support, and therefore OTP disabling is very annoying.  We
make a policy decision to not attach these as keyboards anymore, because a
majority of users just want the FIDO functionality.  If you want to use OTP,
buy a different device from a different vendor or convince Yubikey to
significantly improve their tooling.
idea from kettenis

To be clear: this affects only the keyboard attachment of only Yubico devices. Therefore:

• USB security devices from other vendors are not affected.
• FIDO functionality of Yubikeys (and Yubico security keys) is not affected.
• login_yubikey(8) can no longer be used for local authentication purposes, but will still function for authentication of remote clients (so long as they support Yubikey OTP).

Running a patched kernel is the only way [at present] to reverse this change.

OpenSSH will now adapt IP QoS to actual sessions and traffic. In a fresh commit, Damien Miller (djm@) introduced a significant change, which enables ssh and sshd to set the IP QoS based on what connections and sessions are active.

Log message:

continually at runtime based on what sessions/channels are open.
