68 +
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.
