OpenSSL |
14 |
+ |
|
15 |
+ |
The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference |
16 |
+ |
if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent |
17 |
+ |
mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194] |
18 |
+ |
|
19 |
+ |
When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak |
20 |
+ |
memory. [CVE-2015-3195] |
21 |
+ |
|
22 |
+ |
If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values |
23 |
+ |
are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. [CVE-2015-3196] |
24 |

Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation. |
26 |

|
27 |

TCP MD5 signature denial of service |
28 |
+ |
|
29 |
+ |
A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG |
30 |
+ |
and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash. |
31 |
+ |
|
32 |
+ |
SCTP |
33 |
+ |
|
34 |
+ |
A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack |
35 |
+ |
can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer |
36 |
+ |
dereference. In either case, a kernel panic will follow. |

Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256. |
43 |
+ |
|
44 |
+ |
20151017: |
45 |

it in mport(1). |

Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS |
50 |
+ |
|
51 |
+ |
20150930: |
52 |
+ |
In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in |
53 |
+ |
two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer. When one |
54 |
+ |
of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure |
55 |
+ |
would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon. |
56 |
+ |
|
57 |
+ |
20150926: |
58 |
+ |
libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec |
59 |
+ |
to replace @exec and @unexec. |
60 |
+ |
|
61 |
+ |
pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation |
62 |
+ |
|
63 |
+ |
post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and |
64 |
+ |
pkg message. |
65 |
+ |
|
66 |
+ |
pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts |
67 |
+ |
|
68 |
+ |
post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal. |

kernel: |
75 |
+ |

76 |
+ |
userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions. |
77 |
+ |
|
78 |
+ |
openssh: |
79 |
+ |
A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8) |
80 |
+ |
service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be |
81 |
+ |
overwritten by the unprivileged child process. |
82 |
+ |
|
83 |
+ |
A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8) |
84 |
+ |
service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a |
85 |
+ |
compromised unprivileged child process. |
86 |
+ |
|
87 |
+ |
A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8) |
88 |
+ |
service may result in unintended termination of the connection. |

20150815: |
94 |

libc changes: |
95 |
+ |
setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error. |
96 |
+ |
libc will compile without error using clang |
97 |
+ |
|
98 |
+ |
20150814: |
99 |
+ |
wait6 system call added. |
100 |

date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r |
102 |

like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility. |
103 |

|
104 |
+ |
20150811: |

libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog. |
120 |
+ |
|
121 |
+ |
20150805: |
122 |
+ |
routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside |
123 |
+ |
the network can disrupt routing. |
124 |
+ |
|
125 |
+ |
bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input |
126 |
+ |
to run. |
127 |
+ |
|
128 |
+ |
20150802: |
129 |
+ |
jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C) |
130 |
+ |
|
131 |
+ |
20150728: |
132 |

Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation) |
133 |
+ |
|
134 |
+ |
OpenSSL 1.0.1o |
135 |
+ |
|
136 |
+ |
cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2. |
137 |
+ |
|
138 |
+ |
TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug: |
139 |
+ |
There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the |
140 |
+ |
global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly |
141 |
+ |
queues into a per-VNET limit. Because mbufs are allocated from a |
142 |
+ |
global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the |
143 |
+ |
total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the |
144 |
+ |
total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network |
145 |
+ |
traffic would cease. |
146 |
+ |
Obtained from: FreeBSD 8 |
147 |
+ |
|
148 |
+ |
OpenSSH |
149 |
+ |
|
150 |
+ |
Fix two security vulnerabilities: |
151 |
+ |
OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server |
152 |
+ |
offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653] |
153 |
+ |
|
154 |
+ |
OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication |
155 |
+ |
using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows |
156 |
+ |
MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600] |
157 |
+ |
|
158 |
+ |
|
159 |
+ |

20150725: |
167 |
+ |
Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc. |
168 |
+ |
|
169 |
+ |
The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on |
170 |
+ |
nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the |
171 |
+ |
calculation nmemb * size. |
172 |
+ |
|
173 |
+ |
20150722: |
174 |
+ |
Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK |
175 |
+ |
state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service. |
176 |
+ |
|
177 |
+ |
20150715: |
178 |
+ |
libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that |
179 |
+ |
a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove |
180 |
+ |
it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the |
181 |
+ |
.sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically |
182 |
+ |
only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same. |
183 |
+ |

flex 2.5.39 |
186 |
+ |
|
187 |
+ |
20150702: |
188 |
+ |
ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it |
189 |
+ |
with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path. |
190 |
+ |
|
191 |
+ |
Verify it's working with |
192 |
+ |
zfs get compressratio pool/path |
193 |
+ |
du -h -s * |
194 |
+ |
|
195 |
+ |
Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see |
196 |
+ |
changes. Existing files are not compressed. |
197 |
+ |
|
198 |
+ |
Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that |
199 |
+ |
FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support |
200 |
+ |
and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update |
201 |
+ |
to ZFS. |
202 |
+ |
|
203 |
+ |
20150621: |
204 |
+ |
libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages. |
205 |
+ |
|
206 |
+ |
The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc |
207 |
+ |
for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop |
208 |
+ |
|
209 |
+ |
20150618: |
210 |
+ |
Sendmail |
211 |
+ |
|
212 |
+ |
With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates, |
213 |
+ |
sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers. |
214 |
+ |
|
215 |
+ |
Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to |
216 |
+ |
match the server configuration. |
217 |
+ |
|
218 |
+ |
ZFS |
219 |
+ |
|
220 |
+ |
Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable |
221 |
+ |
ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf. |
222 |
+ |
|
223 |
+ |
Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools |
224 |
+ |
first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant |
225 |
+ |
amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0 |
226 |
+ |
to disable this behaviour. |
227 |
+ |
|
228 |
+ |
ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which |
229 |
+ |
is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP |
230 |
+ |
via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's. |
231 |
+ |
|
232 |
+ |
Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's |
233 |
+ |
under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim. |
234 |
+ |
|
235 |
+ |
rc.d |
236 |
+ |
|
237 |
+ |
Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS |
238 |
+ |
implies everything is mounted and ready to go. |
239 |
+ |
|
240 |
+ |
Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup. |

Fix two security vulnerabilities: |

258 |

The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected. |
259 |
+ |
|
260 |
+ |
ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a |
261 |
