[Midnightbsd-users] MidnightBSD 0.4-RELEASE-p8 and p9

[Lucas Holt]

There have been several recent security advisories around OpenSSL. The version in base in 0.4 and CURRENT are impacted by one of the issues. MidnightBSD 0.4-RELEASE-p8 fixes this issue. It is strongly advised to upgrade. You do not need to build a new kernel for this patch, just world.

For those runnings NFS servers, MidnightBSD 0.4-RELEASE-p9 fixes a security issue in the "new" NFS Server we obtained from FreeBSD 9.x that can lead to a DOS attack from a trusted client.  You do need to build a new kernel for this update.

Also, mports has an updated openssl port.
