# Line 1 | Line 1
1   Updating Information for MidnightBSD users.
2  
3 + 20160114:
4 +        Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
5 +
6 +        TCP MD5 signature denial of service
7 +
8 +        A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
9 +        and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
10 +
11 + 20160102:
12 +        Happy New Year
13 +
14 + 20151101:
15 +        Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
16 +
17 + 20151017:
18 +        Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
19 +        it in mport(1).
20 +
21 + 20151002:
22 +        Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
23 +
24 + 20150930:
25 +        In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
26 +        two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer.  When one
27 +        of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
28 +        would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
29 +
30 + 20150926:
31 +        libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
32 +        to replace @exec and @unexec.  
33 +
34 +        pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
35 +
36 +        post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
37 +        pkg message.
38 +
39 +        pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
40 +
41 +        post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
42 +
43 + 20150917:
44 +        Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
45 +
46 + 20150825:
47 +        kernel:
48 +        fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via
49 +        userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
50 +
51 +        openssh:
52 +        A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
53 +        service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
54 +        overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
55 +
56 +        A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
57 +        service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
58 +        compromised unprivileged child process.
59 +
60 +        A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
61 +        service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
62 +
63 + 20150818:
64 +        expat security fix
65 +
66 + 20150815:
67 +        libc changes:
68 +        setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
69 +        libc will compile without error using clang
70 +
71 + 20150814:
72 +        wait6 system call added.
73 +
74 +        date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
75 +        like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
76 +
77 + 20150811:
78 +        ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
79 +        Intel lynxpoint SATA.
80 +
81 +        Fix some const warnings when building several device drivers
82 +        with llvm/clang.
83 +
84 +        Sync cas(4) with FreeBSD 9-stable.
85 +
86 +        Fix some minor issues with ath(4).
87 +
88 + 20150809:
89 +        xz 5.0.8
90 +
91 + 20150808:
92 +        libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
93 +
94 + 20150805:
95 +        routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
96 +        the network can disrupt routing.
97 +
98 +        bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
99 +        to run.
100 +
101 + 20150802:
102 +        jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
103 +
104 + 20150728:
105 +        Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
106 +
107 +        OpenSSL 1.0.1o
108 +
109 +        cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
110 +
111 +        TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
112 +        There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
113 +        global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
114 +        queues into a per-VNET limit.  Because mbufs are allocated from a
115 +        global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
116 +        total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
117 +        total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
118 +        traffic would cease.
119 +        Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
120 +
121 +        OpenSSH
122 +
123 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
124 +        OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
125 +        offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
126 +
127 +        OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
128 +        using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
129 +        MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
130 +
131 +
132 +        Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
133 +
134 + 20150726:
135 +        BSD Sort updated
136 +
137 +        sqlite 3.8.10.2
138 +
139 + 20150725:
140 +        Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.  
141 +
142 +        The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
143 +        nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
144 +        calculation nmemb * size.
145 +
146 + 20150722:
147 +        Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
148 +        state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
149 +
150 + 20150715:
151 +        libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
152 +        a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
153 +        it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
154 +        .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
155 +        only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
156 +
157 + 20150709:
158 +        flex 2.5.39
159 +
160 + 20150702:
161 +        ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
162 +        with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
163 +
164 +        Verify it's working with
165 +        zfs get compressratio pool/path
166 +        du -h -s *
167 +
168 +        Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
169 +        changes. Existing files are not compressed.
170 +
171 +        Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
172 +        FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
173 +        and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
174 +        to ZFS.
175 +
176 + 20150621:
177 +        libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
178 +
179 +        The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
180 +        for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
181 +
182 + 20150618:
183 +        Sendmail
184 +
185 +        With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
186 +        sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
187 +
188 +        Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
189 +        match the server configuration.
190 +
191 +        ZFS
192 +
193 +        Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
194 +        ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
195 +
196 +        Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
197 +        first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
198 +        amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
199 +        to disable this behaviour.
200 +
201 +        ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
202 +        is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
203 +        via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
204 +
205 +        Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
206 +        under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
207 +
208 +        rc.d
209 +
210 +        Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
211 +        implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
212 +
213 +        Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.
214 +
215 + 20150613:
216 +        tzdata 2015d
217 +
218 + 20150612:
219 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zg
220 +
221 + 20150419:
222 +        MidnightBSD 0.6 stable branch created. Continue 0.7
223 +        development.
224 +
225 + 20150418:
226 +        sqlite 3.8.9
227 +
228 + 20150407:
229 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
230 +
231 +        The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected.
232 +
233 +        ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a
234 +        suggested Current Hop Limit value of a link, which will replace
235 +        Current Hop Limit on an interface connected to the link on the MidnightBSD
236 +        system.
237 +
238 + 20150319:
239 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8.zf
240 +
241 +        mksh R50e
242 +
243 +        Apple mDNSResponder 561.1.1
244 +
245   20150306:
246          Upgrade OpenSSL to 0.9.8ze
