TheOpenBSD projecthasannouncedthe release ofversion 9.5of rpki-client:
rpki-client 9.5 has just been released and will be available in therpki-client directory of any OpenBSD mirror soon. It is recommendedthat all users upgrade to this version for improved reliability.rpki-client is a FREE, easy-to-use implementation of the ResourcePublic Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for Relying Parties to facilitatevalidation of BGP announcements. The program queries the global RPKIrepository system and validates untrusted network inputs. The programoutputs validated ROA payloads, BGPsec Router keys, and ASPA payloadsin configuration formats suitable for OpenBGPD and BIRD, and supportsemitting CSV and JSON for consumption by other routing stacks.See RFC 6480 and RFC 6811 for a description of how RPKI and BGP PrefixOrigin Validation help secure the global Internet routing system.rpki-client was primarily developed by Kristaps Dzonsons, ClaudioJeker, Job Snijders, Theo Buehler, Theo de Raadt and Sebastian Benoitas part of the OpenBSD Project.This release includes the following changes to the previous release:- rpki-client now includes arin.tal which is no longer legally encumbered. See https://www.arin.net/announcements/20250116-tal/- rpki-client reports Certification Authorities that do not meaningfully participate in the RPKI as non-functional CAs. By definition, a CA is non-functional if there is no currently valid Manifest. The number of such CAs is printed at the end of each run and more detailed information is available in the JSON (-j) and ometrics (-m) output.- OpenBSD reliability errata 014: Incorrect internal RRDP state handling in rpki-client can lead to a denial of service. Affected are rpki-client versions 7.5 - 9.4. - Termination of rsync child processes with SIGTERM is no longer treated as an error if rpki-client has sent this signal. This only affects openrsync.- Do not exit filemode with an error if a .gbr or a .tak object contains control characters in its UTF-8 strings. Instead, only warn and emit a sanitized version in JSON output.Upcoming breaking change:- Starting with release 9.6, rpki-client will emit all key identifiers (AKI and SKI) encoded in JSON as bare hex strings without colons.
