23     Sync ZFS code with Illuminos/FreeBSD 9.2. Added support for
24     feature flags, pool version 5000. This also includes some
25     bug fixes and performance optimizations.
26    
27 laffer1 8631 20160925:
28     Import NetBSD vis(3) and unvis(3) as well as mtree.

43     Basic support added for Intel Raid Recover Technology.
44    
45     GMIRROR & GRAID3 now mark volumes clean on shutdown earlier to help with ZFS issues.

47     Highpoint hpt27xx now in GENERIC kernel.
48    
49 laffer1 8596 20160923:
50     Security update for OpenSSL
51    
52     A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension.
53     If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status
54     Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the
55     server. [CVE-2016-6304]
56    
57     An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or through
58     the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker is able to supply
59     very large amounts of input data after a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate()
60     with a partial block then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
61     corruption. [CVE-2016-6303]
62    
63     If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
64     DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
65     ultimately crash. [CVE-2016-6302]
66    
67     The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
68     This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
69     overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
70     or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
71     record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
72     [CVE-2016-2182]
73    
74     The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
75     the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
76     of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are presented.
77     [CVE-2016-2180]
78    
79     Some calculations of limits in OpenSSL have used undefined pointer arithmetic.
80     This could cause problems with some malloc implementations. [CVE-2016-2177]
81    
82     Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in order to
83     avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA implementation means that
84     a non-constant time codepath is followed for certain operations. [CVE-2016-2178]
85    
86     In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order those
87     messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered for later
88     use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages
89     do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has been completed.
90     An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to remain in the buffer when
91     they are no longer required. These messages will be cleared when the DTLS
92     connection is closed. The default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore
93     the attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per connection.
94     [CVE-2016-2179]
95    
96     A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records that
97     arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before the MAC
98     for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by
99     sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have a
100     valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that all subsequent
101     legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of service for a specific
102     DTLS connection. [CVE-2016-2181]
103    
104     In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result in
105     OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a theoretical
106     DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common platforms.
107     [CVE-2016-6306]
108    
109 laffer1 8510 20160918:
110     With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
111     depended on during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
112     the user prior to installworld.
113    
114 laffer1 8548 The VFS KBI was changed with the merge of several nullfs
115     optimizations and fixes. All filesystem modules must be
116     recompiled.
117    
118 laffer1 8153 20160916:
119     The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
120     generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
121     Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
122     needed. The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
123     option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
124     configurations.
125    
126 laffer1 8465 A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged.
127     Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
128     is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
129     compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
130     pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS
131     pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj".
132     For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page.
133     Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
134     on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
135 laffer1 8153
136 laffer1 7830 20160906:
137     Add support for the MosChip MCS9904 four serial ports
138     controller.
139    
140     Add support for walltimestamp in DTrace.
141    
142     Various gdb improvments.
143    
144     ZFS
145     Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O,
146     nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically
147     secure) of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
148     It also saves space if snapshots are in use.
149    
150     It currently works only on datasets with enabled compression, disabled
151     deduplication and sha256 checksums.
152    
153     Add loader(8) tunable to enable/disable nopwrite functionality:
154     vfs.zfs.nopwrite_enabled
155    
156     Introduce a new dataset aclmode setting "restricted" to protect ACL's
157     being destroyed or corrupted by a drive-by chmod.
158    
159     New loader-only tunables:
160     vfs.zfs.sync_pass_deferred_free
161     vfs.zfs.sync_pass_dont_compress
162     vfs.zfs.sync_pass_rewrite
163    
164     chkgrp(8) add support for q flag
165    
166 laffer1 7831 Fix problem with the Samsung 840 PRO series SSD detection.
167     The device reports support for SATA Asynchronous Notification in its
168     IDENTIFY data, but returns error on attempt to enable that feature.
169     Make SATA XPT of CAM only report these errors, but not fail the device.
170    
171 laffer1 7782 20160905:
172     Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues
173     available to the user. Kqueue now saves the ucred of the
174     allocating thread, to correctly decrement the counter on close.
175     Based on FreeBSD SVN 256849
176    
177 laffer1 7793 Import netcat from OpenBSD 5.2
178    
179 laffer1 7789 20160904:
180     Introduced experimental TCP sysctls starting with
181     net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10
182    
183 laffer1 7730 20160814:
184     switched default desktop port to midnightbsd-desktop. This gives us flexibility to change it
185     in the release after the fact.
186    
187 laffer1 7741 tzdata 2016a
188 laffer1 7734
189 laffer1 7725 20160811:
190     libdispatch 210
191    
192     Added quirks for several models of SSDs to enable advanced format/4k mode. List includes
193     Samsung 830, 840, 850 and 750 series, Intel x25 and a few Toshiba models. Also
194     added WD Red drives.
195    
196     Updated list of pci device vendors.
197    
198     Updated list of usb devices.
199    
200 laffer1 7687 20160807:

204     sqlite3 3.13.0
205    
206     20160805:
207     Merged fixes for libmport that improve error handling when installing packages. Also
208     support mkdir -p like behavior for plist entries.
209    
210 laffer1 7625 20160531:
211     Fix four security issues with MidnightBSD.
212    
213     The implementation of TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
214     struct before sending to userland in the linux emulation layer.
215    
216     The compat 43 stat(2) system call exposes kernel stack to userland.
217    
218     libarchive - CVE-2015-2304 and CVE-2013-0211 fix issues with
219     cpio directory traversal and an integer signedness error in the archive
220     write zip data routine.
221    
222    
223 laffer1 7624 20160528:
224     Fixed minor issues with mined(1) and msearch(1).
225    
226 laffer1 7581 20160526:
227     Add support for Ivybridge and Haswell Intel CPUs to hwpmc(4).
228    
229     Fix libpmc(3) build with clang compiler.
230    
231 laffer1 7555 20160519:
232     Kernel Security updates
233    
234     atkbd(4) - Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious
235     local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
236    
237     Incorrect argument handling in sendmsg(2)
238    
239     Incorrect argument handling in the socket code allows malicious local
240     user to overwrite large portion of the kernel memory.
241    
242 laffer1 7548 20160505:
243     OpenSSL security patch
244    
245     The padding check in AES-NI CBC MAC was rewritten to be in constant time
246     by making sure that always the same bytes are read and compared against
247     either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer checked that there was
248     enough data to have both the MAC and padding bytes. [CVE-2016-2107]
249    
250     An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
251     Base64 encoding of binary data. [CVE-2016-2105]
252    
253     An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function, however it is
254     believed that there can be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
255     [CVE-2016-2106]
256    
257     When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
258     a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
259     potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
260     [CVE-2016-2109]
261    
262 laffer1 7521 20160412:
263     0.8 stable branch created. Continue development as 0.9.
264    
265     Fix several issues with wait6 system call addition.
266    
267     20160409:
268     libmport now supports two new plist formats:
269     @(root,wheel,4775) myfile
270     @dir(root,wheel,775) mydir
271    
272     On delete, absoluate paths are now handled properly.
273    
274 laffer1 7467 20160317:
275     OpenSSH doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
276    
277     Fix a security issue with OpenSSH X11 forwarding that can allow an attacker
278     run shell commands on the call to xauth.
279    
280 laffer1 7469 Incorrect argument validation in sysarch(2)
281    
282     A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to
283     uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT. The start descriptor
284     is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided. Due to invalid
285     use of a signed intermediate value in the bounds checking during argument
286     validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent
287     memory can be initiated from usermode.
288    
289     Patch obtained from FreeBSD.
290    
291 laffer1 7458 20160229:
292     top now displays information on ZFS arc cache.
293    
294     20160228:
295     llvm + clang 3.3 is now the default compiler in MidnightBSD.
296

298     Introduce pipe2 to linux emulation layer.
299    
300 laffer1 7418 20160114:
301 laffer1 7430 OpenSSL
302    
303     The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
304     if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
305     mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194]
306    
307     When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak
308     memory. [CVE-2015-3195]
309    
310     If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values
311     are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. [CVE-2015-3196]
312    
313 laffer1 7418 Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
314    
315 laffer1 7419 TCP MD5 signature denial of service
316 laffer1 7418
317 laffer1 7419 A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
318     and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
319    
320 laffer1 7423 SCTP
321    
322     A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack
323     can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer
324     dereference. In either case, a kernel panic will follow.
325    
326 laffer1 7391 20160102:
327     Happy New Year
328    
329 laffer1 7357 20151101:
330     Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
331    
332 laffer1 7353 20151017:
333     Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
334     it in mport(1).
335    
336 laffer1 7342 20151002:
337     Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
338    
339 laffer1 7338 20150930:
340     In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
341     two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer. When one
342     of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
343     would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
344    
345 laffer1 7323 20150926:
346     libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
347     to replace @exec and @unexec.
348    
349     pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
350    
351     post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
352     pkg message.
353    
354     pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
355    
356     post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
357    
358 laffer1 7306 20150917:

364     userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
365    
366     openssh:
367     A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
368     service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
369     overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
370    
371     A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
372     service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
373     compromised unprivileged child process.
374    
375     A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
376     service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
377    
378     20150818:

390     like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
391    
392 laffer1 7276 20150811:
393 laffer1 7244 ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
394     Intel lynxpoint SATA.

405    
406 laffer1 7276 20150808:
407 laffer1 7216 libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
408    
409 laffer1 7276 20150805:
410 laffer1 7210 routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
411     the network can disrupt routing.
412    
413     bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
414     to run.
415    
416 laffer1 7276 20150802:
417 laffer1 7206 jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
418    
419 laffer1 7276 20150728:
420 laffer1 7187 Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
421    
422     OpenSSL 1.0.1o
423    
424     cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
425    
426 laffer1 7192 TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
427     There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
428     global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
429     queues into a per-VNET limit. Because mbufs are allocated from a
430     global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
431     total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
432     total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
433     traffic would cease.
434     Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
435    
436 laffer1 7195 OpenSSH
437    
438     Fix two security vulnerabilities:
439     OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
440     offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
441    
442     OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
443     using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
444     MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
445    
446 laffer1 7200
447     Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
448    
449 laffer1 7276 20150726:
450 laffer1 7164 BSD Sort updated
451    
452 laffer1 7168 sqlite 3.8.10.2
453    
454 laffer1 7276 20150725:
455 laffer1 7141 Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.
456    
457     The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
458     nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
459     calculation nmemb * size.
460    
461 laffer1 7127 20150722:

466     libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
467     a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
468     it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
469     .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
470     only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.

483     Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
484     changes. Existing files are not compressed.
485    
486     Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
487     FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
488     and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
489     to ZFS.

506 laffer1 7047 ZFS
507    
508     Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
509     ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
510    
511     Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
512     first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
513     amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
514     to disable this behaviour.
515    
516     ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
517     is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
518     via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
519    
520     Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
521     under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.

601     Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
602     and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
603     nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
604    
605     The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
606     attempt to answer them. However, the output path assumes that the
607     destination address for the response is on a directly connected
608     network.
609    
610     Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,

748     nullfs(5)
749    
750     The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
751     check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
752     nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
753     location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
754     underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
755    
756     ifioctl
757    
758     As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
759     handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
760     passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
761     return an error code.
762    
763     Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
764     SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
765     handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
766     validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer
767     actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
768     and resetting the underlying hardware.

949 laffer1 4215 20111015:
950     Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
951     to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
952     process. Several new system calls were added to support this
953     functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
954     compatibility on amd64.
955    
956     The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
957     amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
958     for this feature.
959    
960     This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
961    
962 laffer1 4199 20111004:
963     Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
964     patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
965     apps to work under the linuxolator again.
966    
967 laffer1 4196 20111001:
968     Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
969     now default and an environment variable must be set to use
970     active.
971    
972 laffer1 4193 20110930:
973     Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
974     USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
975    
976     Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
977     Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
978     when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
979     offloading.
980    
981     Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
982     working with large raid3 sets.
983    
984     Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
985    
986 laffer1 4176 20110929:
987     Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
988    
989 laffer1 4193 The following modules are no longer available, and should be
990     removed from loader.conf:
991     ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
992    
993 laffer1 4176 alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
994     required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
995     a connection could be established. Disable hibernation.
996    
997 laffer1 4166 20110928:
998     Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
999     files that are corrupted.
1000    
1001     Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
1002    
1003 laffer1 4156 20110917:
1004     Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
1005     it's in the base system.
1006    
1007 laffer1 4153 20110914:
1008     Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
1009    
1010 laffer1 4117 20110813:
1011     synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
1012    
1013 laffer1 4101 20110806:
1014     sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
1015    
1016     msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides
1017     a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used
1018     to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
1019     index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
1020     /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable
1021     space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
1022    
1023     Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
1024     versions. This will be obsolete with mport though.
1025    
1026 laffer1 4022 20110710:
1027     kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
1028     know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
1029    
1030     Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
1031    
1032 laffer1 4006 20110709:
1033     cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
1034     with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
1035    
1036 laffer1 3973 20110612:
1037     Update mksh to R40
1038    
1039     Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when
1040     updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
1041    
1042 laffer1 3953 20110528:
1043     Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers.
1044    
1045 laffer1 3951 20110526:
1046     newfs:
1047     Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
1048     16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
1049    
1050     This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
1051     hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
1052     have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course
1053     the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
1054    
1055 laffer1 3949 20110521:
1056     mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove
1057     all packages from a system.
1058    
1059     A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
1060    
1061 laffer1 3932 20110518:
1062     Perl 5.14.0
1063    
1064     20110517:
1065     Sendmail 8.14.5
1066    
1067 laffer1 3892 20110314:
1068     DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
1069    
1070     cdevpriv wrappers added
1071    
1072     nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
1073    
1074     dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
1075    
1076 laffer1 3846 20110308:
1077     Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
1078    
1079 laffer1 3848 Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
1080    
1081 laffer1 3851 "OSREVISION 4004"
1082    
1083     nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
1084    
1085 laffer1 3853 tzdata2011c
1086    
1087 laffer1 3795 20110220:

1094     Perl 5.10.1 imported
1095    
1096 laffer1 3776 20110216:
1097     Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
1098     igb(4) and em(4). Newer devices use igb(4). The code has moved
1099     to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
1100     been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
1101    
1102     Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
1103    
1104 laffer1 3766 20110215:
1105 laffer1 3795 age(4) added.
1106 laffer1 3766
1107 laffer1 3752 20110208:
1108     BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
1109    
1110 laffer1 3722 20110206:
1111     eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
1112

1130 laffer1 3623 20110122:
1131     Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
1132     uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
1133

1141    
1142 laffer1 3573 20101130:
1143     A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
1144     processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
1145     numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
1146    
1147 laffer1 3565 20101120:
1148     Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
1149     systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
1150     to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
1151     our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
1152     which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
1153    
1154     newfs and growfs was also modified.
1155    
1156 laffer1 3556 20101110:
1157     Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
1158     context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file
1159     systems such as procfs for instance.
1160    
1161 laffer1 3543 20101021:
1162     sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
1163     This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
1164     written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
1165    
1166 laffer1 3514 20100920:
1167     bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
1168    
1169 laffer1 3491 20100905:
1170     MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created. Aggressive development continues here
1171     for 0.4.
1172    
1173 laffer1 3483 20100902:
1174     Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
1175     login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
1176     the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
1177    
1178 laffer1 3476 20100822:
1179     Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
1180    
1181 laffer1 3458 20100814:
1182     libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in
1183     Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is
1184     licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
1185     it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
1186     may not like.
1187    
1188 laffer1 3431 20100713:

1250 laffer1 3238
1251 laffer1 3233 posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and
1252     install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
1253     older current systems.
1254    
1255     kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
1256    
1257 laffer1 3225 20100106:
1258     Bind security update. Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
1259     cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
1260    
1261     Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
1262    
1263 laffer1 3218 20091228:
1264     amdtemp(4) was added. It allows one to monitor to the temperature
1265     of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
1266    
1267 laffer1 3205 20091205:
1268     OpenSSL security fix
1269    
1270     The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
1271     cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.

1287    
1288 laffer1 3129 20091010:
1289     amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
1290     to test current.
1291    
1292     Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos
1293     on amd64 systems.
1294    
1295 laffer1 3120 20091006:
1296     Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
1297     Argentina changes.
1298    
1299     Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
1300     sbin and usr.sbin.
1301    
1302 laffer1 3044 20090919:

1304    
1305 laffer1 3034 20090729:
1306     Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
1307     can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
1308    
1309 laffer1 3002 20090606:
1310     Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work
1311     as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
1312     in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck
1313     with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
1314    
1315     I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
1316     fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
1317     system which makes no sense.
1318    
1319     A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
1320     the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support
1321     but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on
1322     an external device.
1323    
1324 laffer1 2910 20090520:
1325     The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
1326     compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new
1327     installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
1328     makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
1329     out my new Phenom too.
1330    
1331 laffer1 2874 20090502:

1347    
1348     Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
1349    
1350     Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
1351     tools to fail.
1352    
1353 laffer1 2745 20090405:
1354     xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
1355 laffer1 2746 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
1356 laffer1 2745 add
1357     Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
1358     to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
1359     kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
1360    
1361     20090403:
1362 laffer1 2735 mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
1363     buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back
1364     for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
1365     MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
1366     but we may change this later. This will allow further
1367     testing by users and developers of mksh without
1368     causing an unpleasant default experience. In the
1369     long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
1370    
1371 laffer1 2702 20090328:
1372     Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
1373     and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
1374     as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with
1375     ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
1376     as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
1377     an optional build parameter.
1378    
1379     ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
1380     the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
1381    
1382     Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the

1384    
1385 laffer1 2672 20090327:

1389     to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
1390     on mports.
1391

1403    
1404     20090110:
1405 laffer1 2511 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
1406     certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be
1407     used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
1408    
1409     Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
1410     affected.

1422     properly initialized.
1423    
1424     Happy 2009.
1425    
1426 laffer1 2399 20081206:
1427     Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
1428     we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was
1429     changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
1430     using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
1431    
1432     The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider
1433     i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
1434    
1435     mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
1436    
1437     batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and
1438     runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output
1439     shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
1440     percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
1441     -c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more.
1442    
1443 laffer1 2360 20081204:
1444     Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
1445     new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel

1448     intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
1449    
1450     Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
1451     data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means
1452     testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
1453     and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
1454     sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
1455    
1456 laffer1 1809 20080905:
1457     update nve(4) to support new hardware.
1458

1489     ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
1490     were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
1491     few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
1492     option.
1493    
1494     The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
1495    
1496     20080514:
1497     Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
1498     to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
1499     by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
1500     install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
1501     GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
1502    
1503     System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
1504     on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
1505    
1506 laffer1 1561 20080430:
1507     __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
1508     to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
1509

1560     Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
1561     thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
1562    
1563     Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
1564     I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
1565     My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
1566    
1567     20080306:

1640     ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
1641     change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
1642     enabled by default.
1643    
1644 laffer1 1192 20070814:
1645     Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
1646     for awhile.
1647    
1648 laffer1 1143 20070806:
1649     Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
1650    
1651     20070804:
1652     BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
1653    
1654     We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
1655    
1656 laffer1 1060 20070719:
1657     Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
1658    
1659 laffer1 1055 20070716:
1660     Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
1661    
1662 laffer1 939 20070410:
1663     cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
1664     cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
1665     most of their local changes.
1666    
1667     20070409:
1668     RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
1669     continue here.
1670    
1671 laffer1 906 20070406:
1672     Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
1673     with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
1674     curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
1675     multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
1676     work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
1677     patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
1678    
1679     It is more important to have a stable system for our
1680     mport work and other projects at this time.
1681    
1682 laffer1 907 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
1683     have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
1684     or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
1685     make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
1686     of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
1687     /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
1688     your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
1689     mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
1690     chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
1691     them.
1692    
1693     You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
1694     this from libc.
1695    
1696     You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
1697     installed.
1698    
1699 archite 886 20070401:
1700     Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
1701     provide us with much greater security and stability in the
1702     long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
1703     follow the these instructions:
1704    
1705     cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
1706     cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
1707 laffer1 893 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
1708     cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
1709 archite 886 buildworld and kernel
1710    
1711     It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
1712     prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
1713     or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
1714     and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
1715     fix.
1716

1738     the Dell perc5i.
1739    
1740 archite 726 20070206:
1741     Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
1742     /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
1743    
1744     Those who install from a snapshot after this date
1745     will not be effected.
1746    
1747 laffer1 708 20070119:
1748     Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
1749     before installing world.
1750    
1751     hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
1752    
1753     An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
1754     unbreak world.
1755    
1756     wpa_supplicant was updated.
1757    
1758 laffer1 775 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
1759     sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
1760     fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
1761     2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
1762     will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
1763 laffer1 708
1764 laffer1 477 20061231:
1765     Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.

1770     synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
1771     to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
1772     Feb 26, 2006.
1773    
1774     Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional

1853 laffer1 305 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
1854 laffer1 273
1855 laffer1 169 20060909:
1856     OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
1857     the old ntpd daemon.
1858 laffer1 63
1859 laffer1 169 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
1860     on a per line basis.
1861 laffer1 5
1862 laffer1 169 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
1863     keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
1864     improved with this patch.
1865 laffer1 5
1866 laffer1 169 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
1867     increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
1868 laffer1 5
1869 laffer1 169 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
1870 laffer1 5
1871 laffer1 169 Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
1872 laffer1 5
1873 laffer1 169 20060817:
1874     ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
1875     the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.

1878    
1879 laffer1 2 To build a kernel
1880     -----------------
1881 laffer1 169 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
1882 laffer1 2 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
1883     /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
1884     make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1885     make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1886    
1887     To test a kernel once
1888     ---------------------
1889     If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
1890     if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
1891     debugging information) run
1892     make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
1893     nextboot -k testkernel
1894    
1895     To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1896     --------------------------------------------------------------
1897     This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
1898     ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1899 laffer1 273 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
1900 laffer1 2
1901     cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
1902     config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1903     cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1904     make depend
1905     make
1906     make install
1907    
1908     If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
1909    
1910     To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
1911     -----------------------------------------------------------
1912     # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
1913     # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
1914    
1915     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1916     make buildworld
1917     make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1918     [1]
1919     <reboot in single user> [3]
1920     mergemaster -p [5]
1921     make installworld
1922 laffer1 5 make delete-old
1923 laffer1 2 mergemaster [4]
1924     <reboot>
1925    
1926    
1927     To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1928     --------------------------------------------------
1929     # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1930     # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
1931     # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
1932     # size.
1933    
1934     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1935     <boot into -stable>
1936     make buildworld
1937     make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1938     <maybe newfs current's root partition>
1939     <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
1940     make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
1941     cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
1942     make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
1943     cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
1944     <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
1945     <reboot into current>
1946     <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
1947     <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
1948     <reboot>
1949    
1950    
1951     To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
1952     -----------------------------------------------------------
1953     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1954     make buildworld [9]
1955     make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
1956     [1]
1957     <reboot in single user> [3]
1958     mergemaster -p [5]
1959     make installworld
1960 laffer1 5 make delete-old
1961 laffer1 2 mergemaster -i [4]
1962     <reboot>
1963    
1964     Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1965     tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
1966     cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1967     to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1968     the UPDATING entries.
1969    
1970     Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
1971     freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
1972     your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
1973     messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
1974     much fewer pitfalls.
1975    
1976     [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1977     should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1978     system on reboot.
1979    
1980     [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1981     fsck -p
1982     mount -u /
1983     mount -a
1984     cd src
1985     adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
1986     Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1987     you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1988    
1989     [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
1990     can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1991     system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1992     that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1993     as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
1994     for potential gotchas.
1995    
1996     [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
1997     you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1998     step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
1999    
2000     [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
2001     needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2002     option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
2003     that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2004     is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
2005    
2006     Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
2007     last time you updated your kernel config file.
2008    
2009     [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
2010     cvs prune empty directories.
2011    
2012     If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2013     "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2014     override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2015    
2016     MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2017     not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
2018     warn if it is improperly defined.
