rpki-client 9.8 released
Routing security matters to all of us (even those of us who seldom give the subject any thought), and the rpki-client project announced the release of a new version of their Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) client, with a number of improvements.
The announcement reads,
List: openbsd-announce
Subject: rpki-client 9.8 released
From: Sebastian Benoit
Date: 2026-04-14 23:20:42
rpki-client 9.8 has just been released and will be available in the
rpki-client directory of any OpenBSD mirror soon. It is recommended
that all users upgrade to this version for improved reliability.
rpki-client is a FREE, easy-to-use implementation of the Resource
Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for Relying Parties to facilitate
validation of BGP announcements. The program queries the global RPKI
repository system and validates untrusted network inputs. The program
outputs validated ROA payloads, BGPsec Router keys, and ASPA payloads
in configuration formats suitable for OpenBGPD and BIRD, and supports
emitting CSV and JSON for consumption by other routing stacks.
See RFC 6480 and RFC 6811 for a description of how RPKI and BGP Prefix
Origin Validation help secure the global Internet routing system.
rpki-client was primarily developed by Kristaps Dzonsons, Claudio Jeker,
Job Snijders, Theo Buehler, Theo de Raadt, and Sebastian Benoit as part
of the OpenBSD Project.
This release includes the following changes to the previous release:
- Various refactoring for improved compatibility with various libcrypto
implementations and in CA/BGPsec certificate handling.
- Fixed an accounting issue in HTTP gzip compression detection.
- Added a warning in extra verbose mode (-vv) about standards
non-compliant Issuer and Subject ASN.1 string encodings.
- Added a check for canonical encoding of ASPA eContent in alignment
with draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-22.
- Ensure that a repository timeout correctly stops repository
processing. Thanks to Fedor Vompe from Deutsche Telekom for reporting.
- Fixed a defect in Canonical Cache Representation ROAIPAddressFamily
sort order. As a result, rpki-client 9.8 cannot parse rpki-client
9.7's .ccr files and vice versa. Thanks to Bart Bakker from RIPE NCC
for reporting.
- Fixed an issue in the parser for the locally configured constraints.
Thanks to Daniel Anderson.
- A malicious RRDP Publication Server can cause a NULL dereference.
Thanks to Daniel Anderson for reporting.
- A malicious RPKI Publication Server can cause an incorrect error exit.
Thanks to Yuheng Zhang, Qi Wang, Jianjun Chen from Tsinghua University,
and Teatime Lab for reporting.
