OpenIKED 7.3 released

19 November, 2023 by tobhe@openbsd.org | openbsd
We have released OpenIKED 7.3, which will be arriving in the OpenIKED
directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * Reexecute child processes after forking for better process
      isolation

    * Support for new route-based sec(4) tunnels on OpenBSD

    * Handle full x509 chains in CERT payloads
    
    * Support multiple name servers per interface on Linux.

    * Refactored internal ibuf API for OpenBSD 7.4

    * Optionally use libssytemd to configure DNS via DBUS instead of
      calling resolvectl cli tool on Linux

    * Dropped libapparmor dependency on Linux in favor of directly
      using the /proc interface. This allows us to open file descriptors
      before dropping privileges and change policy afterwards allowing
      for even stricter apparmor confinement.

    * Fixed the openssl config used by ikectl to allow renewing expired
      certificates

    * Sync compatibility layer with OpenBSD

    * Fixed some memory leaks

OpenIKED is known to compile and run on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, macOS
and the Linux distributions Arch, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu.

It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt OpenIKED
to more distributions.

OpenIKED can be downloaded from any of the mirrors listed at
https://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html, from the /pub/OpenBSD/OpenIKED
directory.

General bugs may be reported to bugs@openbsd.org. Portable bugs
may be filed at https://github.com/openiked/openiked-portable.

We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.
Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release
possible.
