OpenBSD 6.4 has dropped, and has a bunch of improvements, including:

  • Unveil(2) system call to restrict file system access to specified directories / files
  • RETGUARD protection added for AMD64 and ARM64
  • clang includes a ROP gadget replacement pass
  • clang includes retpoline mitigation for Spectre Variant 2
  • meltdown mitigation for i386
  • amd64 doesn't leak FPU state information across protection boundaries

...and much more.
