38 +        OpenSSL security patch
39 +
40 +        Due to improper handling of alert packets, OpenSSL would consume an excessive

69 +        Basic support added for Intel Raid Recover Technology.
70 +
71 +        GMIRROR & GRAID3 now mark volumes clean on shutdown earlier to help with ZFS issues.
72 +
73 +        Highpoint hpt27xx now in GENERIC kernel.
74 +
75 + 20160923:
76 +        Security update for OpenSSL
77 +
78 +        A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension.
79 +        If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status
80 +        Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the
81 +        server. [CVE-2016-6304]
82 +
83 +        An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or through
84 +        the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker is able to supply
85 +        very large amounts of input data after a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate()
86 +        with a partial block then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
87 +        corruption. [CVE-2016-6303]
88 +
89 +        If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
90 +        DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
91 +        ultimately crash. [CVE-2016-6302]
92 +
93 +        The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
94 +        This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
95 +        overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
96 +        or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
97 +        record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
98 +        [CVE-2016-2182]
99 +
100 +        The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
101 +        the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
102 +        of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are presented.
103 +        [CVE-2016-2180]
104 +
105 +        Some calculations of limits in OpenSSL have used undefined pointer arithmetic.
106 +        This could cause problems with some malloc implementations. [CVE-2016-2177]
107 +
108 +        Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in order to
109 +        avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA implementation means that
110 +        a non-constant time codepath is followed for certain operations. [CVE-2016-2178]
111 +
112 +        In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order those
113 +        messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered for later
114 +        use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages
115 +        do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has been completed.
116 +        An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to remain in the buffer when
117 +        they are no longer required. These messages will be cleared when the DTLS
118 +        connection is closed. The default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore
119 +        the attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per connection.
120 +        [CVE-2016-2179]
121 +
122 +        A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records that
123 +        arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before the MAC
124 +        for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by
125 +        sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have a
126 +        valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that all subsequent
127 +        legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of service for a specific
128 +        DTLS connection. [CVE-2016-2181]
129 +
130 +        In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result in
131 +        OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a theoretical
132 +        DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common platforms.
133 +        [CVE-2016-6306]
134 +
135 + 20160918:
136 +        With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
137 +        depended on during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
138 +        the user prior to installworld.
139 +
140 +        The VFS KBI was changed with the merge of several nullfs
141 +        optimizations and fixes.  All filesystem modules must be
142 +        recompiled.
143 +
144 + 20160916:
145 +        The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
146 +        generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
147 +        Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
148 +        needed.  The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
149 +        option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
150 +        configurations.
151 +
152 +        A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged.
153 +        Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
154 +        is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
155 +        compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
156 +        pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS
157 +        pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj".
158 +        For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page.
159 +        Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
160 +        on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
161 +
162 + 20160906:
163 +        Add support for the MosChip MCS9904 four serial ports
164 +        controller.
165 +
166 +        Add support for walltimestamp in DTrace.
167 +
168 +        Various gdb improvments.
169 +
170 +        ZFS
171 +        Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O,
172 +        nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically
173 +        secure) of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
174 +        It also saves space if snapshots are in use.
175 +
176 +        It currently works only on datasets with enabled compression, disabled
177 +        deduplication and sha256 checksums.
178 +
179 +        Add loader(8) tunable to enable/disable nopwrite functionality:
180 +        vfs.zfs.nopwrite_enabled
181 +
182 +        Introduce a new dataset aclmode setting "restricted" to protect ACL's
183 +        being destroyed or corrupted by a drive-by chmod.
184 +
185 +        New loader-only tunables:
186 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_deferred_free
187 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_dont_compress
188 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_rewrite
189 +
190 +        chkgrp(8) add support for q flag
191 +
192 +        Fix problem with the Samsung 840 PRO series SSD detection.
193 +        The device reports support for SATA Asynchronous Notification in its
194 +        IDENTIFY data, but returns error on attempt to enable that feature.
195 +        Make SATA XPT of CAM only report these errors, but not fail the device.
196 +
197 + 20160905:
198 +        Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues
199 +        available to the user. Kqueue now saves the ucred of the
200 +        allocating thread, to correctly decrement the counter on close.
201 +        Based on FreeBSD SVN 256849
202 +
203 +        Import netcat from OpenBSD 5.2
204 +
205 + 20160904:
206 +        Introduced experimental TCP sysctls starting with
207 +        net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10
208 +
209 + 20160814:
210 +        switched default desktop port to midnightbsd-desktop. This gives us flexibility to change it
211 +        in the release after the fact.
212 +
213 +        tzdata 2016a
214 +
215 + 20160811:
216 +        libdispatch 210
217 +
218 +        Added quirks for several models of SSDs to enable advanced format/4k mode. List includes
219 +        Samsung 830, 840, 850 and 750 series, Intel x25 and a few Toshiba models. Also
220 +        added WD Red drives.
221 +
222 +        Updated list of pci device vendors.
223 +
224 +        Updated list of usb devices.
225 +
226 + 20160807:
227 +        Implement several changes to libmport to fix some memory corruption issues.
228 +
229 + 20160806:
230 +        sqlite3 3.13.0
231 +
232 + 20160805:
233 +        Merged fixes for libmport that improve error handling when installing packages. Also
234 +        support mkdir -p like behavior for plist entries.
235 +
236 + 20160531:
237 +        Fix four security issues with MidnightBSD.
238 +
239 +        The implementation of TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
240 +        struct before sending to userland in the linux emulation layer.
241 +
242 +        The compat 43 stat(2) system call exposes kernel stack to userland.
243 +
244 +        libarchive - CVE-2015-2304 and CVE-2013-0211 fix issues with
245 +        cpio directory traversal and an integer signedness error in the archive
246 +        write zip data routine.
247 +
248 +
249 + 20160528:
250 +        Fixed minor issues with mined(1) and msearch(1).
251 +
252 + 20160526:
253 +        Add support for Ivybridge and Haswell Intel CPUs to hwpmc(4).
254 +
255 +        Fix libpmc(3) build with clang compiler.
256 +
257 + 20160519:
258 +        Kernel Security updates
259 +
260 +        atkbd(4) - Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious
261 +        local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
262 +
263 +        Incorrect argument handling in sendmsg(2)
264 +
265 +        Incorrect argument handling in the socket code allows malicious local
266 +        user to overwrite large portion of the kernel memory.
267 +
268 + 20160505:
269 +        OpenSSL security patch
270 +
271 +        The padding check in AES-NI CBC MAC was rewritten to be in constant time
272 +        by making sure that always the same bytes are read and compared against
273 +        either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer checked that there was
274 +        enough data to have both the MAC and padding bytes. [CVE-2016-2107]
275 +
276 +        An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
277 +        Base64 encoding of binary data. [CVE-2016-2105]
278 +
279 +        An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function, however it is
280 +        believed that there can be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
281 +        [CVE-2016-2106]
282 +
283 +        When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
284 +        a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
285 +        potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
286 +        [CVE-2016-2109]
287 +
288 + 20160412:
289 +        0.8 stable branch created. Continue development as 0.9.
290 +
291 +        Fix several issues with wait6 system call addition.
292 +
293 + 20160409:
294 +        libmport now supports two new plist formats:
295 +        @(root,wheel,4775) myfile
296 +        @dir(root,wheel,775) mydir
297 +
298 +        On delete, absoluate paths are now handled properly.
299 +
300 + 20160317:
301 +        OpenSSH doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
302 +
303 +        Fix a security issue with OpenSSH X11 forwarding that can allow an attacker
304 +        run shell commands on the call to xauth.
305 +
306 +        Incorrect argument validation in sysarch(2)
307 +
308 +        A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to
309 +        uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT.  The start descriptor
310 +        is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided.  Due to invalid
311 +        use of a signed intermediate value in the bounds checking during argument
312 +        validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent
313 +        memory can be initiated from usermode.
314 +
315 +        Patch obtained from FreeBSD.
316 +
317 + 20160229:
318 +        top now displays information on ZFS arc cache.
319 +
320 + 20160228:
321 +        llvm + clang 3.3 is now the default compiler in MidnightBSD.
322 +
323 + 20160222:
324 +        Introduce pipe2 to linux emulation layer.
325 +
326 + 20160114:
327 +        OpenSSL
328 +
329 +        The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
330 +        if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
331 +        mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194]
332 +
333 +        When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak
334 +        memory. [CVE-2015-3195]
335 +
336 +        If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values
337 +        are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure.  [CVE-2015-3196]
338 +
339 +        Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
340 +
341 +        TCP MD5 signature denial of service
342 +
343 +        A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
344 +        and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
345 +
346 +        SCTP
347 +
348 +        A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack
349 +        can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer
350 +        dereference.  In either case, a kernel panic will follow.
351 +
352 + 20160102:
353 +        Happy New Year
354 +
355 + 20151101:
356 +        Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
357 +
358 + 20151017:
359 +        Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
360 +        it in mport(1).
361 +
362 + 20151002:
363 +        Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
364 +
365 + 20150930:
366 +        In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
367 +        two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer.  When one
368 +        of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
369 +        would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
370 +
371 + 20150926:
372 +        libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
373 +        to replace @exec and @unexec.  
374 +
375 +        pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
376 +
377 +        post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
378 +        pkg message.
379 +
380 +        pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
381 +
382 +        post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
383 +
384 + 20150917:
385 +        Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
386 +
387 + 20150825:
388 +        kernel:

390 +        userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
391 +
392 +        openssh:
393 +        A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
394 +        service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
395 +        overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
396 +
397 +        A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
398 +        service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
399 +        compromised unprivileged child process.
400 +
401 +        A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
402 +        service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
403 +
404 + 20150818:
405 +        expat security fix
406 +
407 + 20150815:

410 +        libc will compile without error using clang
411 +
412 + 20150814:
413 +        wait6 system call added.
414 +
415 +        date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
416 +        like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
417 +
418 + 20150811:
419 +        ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.

449 +
450 +        cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
451 +
452 +        TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
453 +        There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
454 +        global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
455 +        queues into a per-VNET limit.  Because mbufs are allocated from a
456 +        global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
457 +        total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
458 +        total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
459 +        traffic would cease.
460 +        Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
461 +
462 +        OpenSSH
463 +
464 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
465 +        OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
466 +        offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
467 +
468 +        OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
469 +        using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
470 +        MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
471 +
472 +
473 +        Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
474 +
475 + 20150726:
476 +        BSD Sort updated
477 +
478 +        sqlite 3.8.10.2
479 +
480 + 20150725:
481 +        Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.  
482 +
483 +        The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
484 +        nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
485 +        calculation nmemb * size.
486 +
487 + 20150722:
488 +        Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
489 +        state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
490 +
491 + 20150715:
492 +        libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
493 +        a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
494 +        it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
495 +        .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
496 +        only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
497 +
498 + 20150709:
499 +        flex 2.5.39
500 +
501 + 20150702:
502 +        ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
503 +        with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
504 +
505 +        Verify it's working with
506 +        zfs get compressratio pool/path
507 +        du -h -s *
508 +
509 +        Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
510 +        changes. Existing files are not compressed.
511 +
512 +        Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
513 +        FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
514 +        and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
515 +        to ZFS.
516 +
517 + 20150621:
518 +        libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
519 +
520 +        The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
521 +        for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
522 +
523 + 20150618:
524 +        Sendmail
525 +
526 +        With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
527 +        sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
528 +
529 +        Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
530 +        match the server configuration.
531 +
532 +        ZFS
533 +
534 +        Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
535 +        ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
536 +
537 +        Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
538 +        first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
539 +        amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
540 +        to disable this behaviour.
541 +
542 +        ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
543 +        is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
544 +        via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
545 +
546 +        Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
547 +        under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
548 +
549 +        rc.d
550 +
551 +        Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
552 +        implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
553 +
554 +        Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.

567 +        sqlite 3.8.9
568 +
569 + 20150407:
570 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
571 +
572 +        The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected.
573 +
574 +        ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a
575 +        suggested Current Hop Limit value of a link, which will replace
576 +        Current Hop Limit on an interface connected to the link on the MidnightBSD
577 +        system.

588 +
589 + 20150225:
590 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
591 +
592 +        1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
593 +        are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
594 +        "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
595 +        unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
596 +        variable.
597 +
598 +        CVE-2015-1349
599 +
600 +        2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
601 +        in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
602 +
603 +        This can result in a DOS attack.
604 +
605 + 20141211:
606 +        Fix a security issue with file and libmagic that can allow
607 +        an attacker to create a denial of service attack on any
608 +        program that uses libmagic.
609 +
610 + 20141109:
611 +        Fix building perl during buildworld when the GDBM port is installed.

622 +
623 + 20141028:
624 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zc
625 +
626 + 20141021:
627 +        Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
628 +        and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
629 +        nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
630 +
631 +        The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
632 +        attempt to answer them.  However, the output path assumes that the
633 +        destination address for the response is on a directly connected
634 +        network.
635 +
636 +        Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
637 +        a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
638 +        overflow in rtsold(8).
639 +
640 + 20141011:

656 +        getting up to date.
657 +
658 + 20141001:
659 +        mksh R50b
660 +
661 +        libmport now supports plist commands @dir, @owner, @group, @mode.
662 +
663 +        sudo 1.7.6p2
664 +
665 + 20140916:
666 +        Fix a security issue with TCP SYN.
667 +
668 +        When a segment with the SYN flag for an already existing connection arrives,
669 +        the TCP stack tears down the connection, bypassing a check that the
670 +        sequence number in the segment is in the expected window.
671 +
672 + 20140909:
673 +        Fixed a bug with our clearenv(3) implementation that caused segfaults
674 +        with some programs including Dovecot.
675 +
676 +        OpenSSL security patch:
677 +
678 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS handshake message may cause OpenSSL
679 +        to consume large amounts of memory. [CVE-2014-3506]
680 +
681 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS packet could cause OpenSSL to leak
682 +        memory. [CVE-2014-3507]
683 +
684 +        A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
685 +        X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
686 +        the stack. [CVE-2014-3508]
687 +
688 +        OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject to
689 +        a denial of service attack. [CVE-2014-3510]
690 +
691 + 20140902:
692 +        We're now 0.6-CURRENT
693 +
694 +        Update USB quirks to support K70 Corsair keyboard, and several
695 +        other devices.
696 +

715 +
716 + 20140604:
717 +        Sendmail failed to properly set close-on-exec for open file descriptors.
718 +
719 +        ktrace page fault kernel trace entries were set to an incorrect size which resulted
720 +        in a leak of information.
721 +
722 + 20140430:
723 +        Fix a TCP reassembly bug that could result in a DOS attack
724 +        of the system. It may be possible to obtain portions
725 +        of kernel memory as well.
726 +
727 + 20140411:
728 +        Update zlib to 1.2.7

736 +        bsnmpd contains a stack overflow when sent certain queries.
737 +
738 +        bind 9.8 when using NSEC3-signed zones zones, will crash with special

740 +
741 + 20131228:
742 +        Imported FreeBSD 9.2 usb stack (plus z87 patches from stable)
743 +
744 +        Updated em(4), igb(4) and ixgbe(4)
745 +
746 +        MidnightBSD now works with Z87 Intel chipsets.
747 +
748 + 20131207:
749 +        Remove sparc64 architecture. It hasn't been working for awhile
750 +        and it's not useful for desktops anymore.
751 +
752 + 20131205:
753 +        OpenSSH 6.4p1
754 +
755 + 20131203:
756 +        Perl 5.18.1 imported.
757 +
758 +        Update less to v458
759 +
760 + 20131130:
761 +        Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for

763 +
764 + 20131004:
765 +        rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD)
766 +
767 + 20130917:
768 +        Support for 65,536 routing tables was added.  A new fib specific
769 +        field has been added to mbuf.  This is an increase from 16.
770 +
771 + 20130910:
772 +        Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
773 +
774 +        nullfs(5)
775 +
776 +        The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
777 +        check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
778 +        nullfs instance.  It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
779 +        location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
780 +        underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
781 +
782 +        ifioctl
783 +
784 +        As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
785 +        handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
786 +        passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
787 +        return an error code.
788 +
789 +        Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
790 +        SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
791 +        handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
792 +        validation or verify the caller's credentials.  Typical link-layer
793 +        actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
794 +        and resetting the underlying hardware.
795 +
796 + 20130824:
797 +        Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
798 +        handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
799 +        FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
800 +        will be included in the next release.
801 +
802 +        Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
803 +        binary.  It has limited functionality, but can be used to
804 +        checkout/commit code.  It is named svnlite.
805 +
806 + 20130822:
807 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
808 +
809 +        Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
810 +        This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
811 +
812 +        When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
813 +        a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.

869 +
870 + 20120612:
871 +        BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667.
872 +
873 +        Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting

898 +
899 +        pam: don't allow escape from policy path.  Exploitable in KDE, etc.
900 +
901 +        Fix pam_ssh module:
902 +
903 +        If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
904 +        to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
905 +
906 +        This has to due with the way that openssl works.  It ignores unencrpted data.
907 +
908 +        Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
909 +
910 +        nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
911 +        operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
912 +        hole in things like ftpd.
913 +
914 + 20111217:

961 +        awk 20110810 imported
962 +
963 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
964 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
965 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
966 +
967 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
968 +        specific CPU core.
969 +
970 + 20111017:
971 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
972 +
973 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
974 +
975 + 20111015:
976 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
977 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
978 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
979 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
980 +        compatibility on amd64.
981 +
982 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
983 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
984 +        for this feature.
985 +
986 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
987 +
988 + 20111004:
989 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
990 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
991 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
992 +
993 + 20111001:
994 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
995 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
996 +        active.
997 +
998 + 20110930:
999 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
1000 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
1001 +
1002 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
1003 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
1004 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
1005 +        offloading.
1006 +
1007 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
1008 +        working with large raid3 sets.
1009 +
1010 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
1011 +
1012 + 20110929:
1013 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
1014 +
1015 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
1016 +        removed from loader.conf:
1017 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
1018 +
1019 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
1020 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
1021 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
1022 +
1023 + 20110928:
1024 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
1025 +        files that are corrupted.
1026 +
1027 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
1028 +
1029 + 20110917:
1030 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
1031 +        it's in the base system.
1032 +
1033 + 20110914:
1034 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
1035 +
1036 + 20110813:
1037 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
1038 +
1039 + 20110806:
1040 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
1041 +
1042 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
1043 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
1044 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
1045 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
1046 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
1047 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
1048 +
1049 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
1050 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
1051 +
1052 + 20110710:
1053 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
1054 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
1055 +
1056 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
1057 +
1058 + 20110709:
1059 +        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
1060 +        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
1061 +
1062 + 20110612:
1063 +        Update mksh to R40
1064 +
1065 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
1066 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
1067 +
1068 + 20110528:
1069 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
1070 +
1071 + 20110526:
1072 +        newfs:
1073 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
1074 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
1075 +
1076 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
1077 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
1078 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
1079 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
1080 +
1081 + 20110521:
1082 +        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
1083 +        all packages from a system.
1084 +
1085 +        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
1086 +
1087 + 20110518:
1088 +        Perl 5.14.0
1089 +
1090 + 20110517:
1091 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
1092 +
1093 + 20110314:
1094 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
1095 +
1096 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
1097 +
1098 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
1099 +
1100 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
1101 +
1102 + 20110308:
1103 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
1104 +
1105 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
1106 +
1107 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
1108 +
1109 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
1110 +
1111 +        tzdata2011c
1112 +
1113 + 20110220:
1114 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
1115 +
1116 + 20110219:
1117 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
1118 +
1119 + 20110217:
1120 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
1121 +
1122 + 20110216:
1123 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
1124 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
1125 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
1126 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
1127 +
1128 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
1129 +
1130 + 20110215:
1131 +        age(4) added.
1132 +
1133 + 20110208:
1134 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
1135 +
1136 + 20110206:
1137 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
1138 +
1139 + 20110205:
1140 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
1141 +
1142 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
1143 +
1144 + 20110203:
1145 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
1146 +
1147 +        sqlite 3.7.5
1148 +
1149 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
1150 +
1151 + 20110202:
1152 +        tcsh 6.17.00
1153 +
1154 +        file 5.05
1155 +
1156 + 20110122:
1157 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
1158 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
1159 +
1160 + 20110120:
1161 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
1162 +
1163 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
1164 +
1165 + 20110115:
1166 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
1167 +
1168 + 20101130:
1169 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
1170 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
1171 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
1172 +
1173 + 20101120:
1174 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
1175 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
1176 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
1177 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
1178 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
1179 +
1180 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
1181 +
1182 + 20101110:
1183 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
1184 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
1185 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
1186 +
1187 + 20101021:
1188 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
1189 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
1190 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
1191 +
1192 + 20100920:
1193 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
1194 +
1195 + 20100905:
1196 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
1197 +        for 0.4.
1198 +
1199 + 20100902:
1200 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
1201 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
1202 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
1203 +
1204 + 20100822:
1205 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
1206 +
1207 + 20100814:
1208 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
1209 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
1210 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
1211 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
1212 +        may not like.
1213 +
1214 + 20100713:
1215 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
1216 +
1217 + 20100704:
1218 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
1219 +
1220 + 20100505:
1221 +        zlib 1.2.5
1222 +
1223 + 20100430:
1224 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
1225 +
1226   20100321:
1227          Update zlib to 1.2.4
