OpenSSH 6.4p1 |

20131203: |

Perl 5.18.1 imported. |
8 |

|
9 |
+ |
Update less to v458 |
10 |
+ |
|
11 |
+ |
20131130: |
12 |
+ |
Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for |
13 |
+ |
now until replacements can be found. |

rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD) |
17 |
+ |
|
18 |
+ |
20130917: |
19 |
+ |
Support for 65,536 routing tables was added. A new fib specific |
20 |
+ |
field has been added to mbuf. This is an increase from 16. |
21 |

|

Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001) |

|
25 |
+ |
nullfs(5) |
26 |
+ |
|
27 |
+ |
The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not |
28 |
+ |
check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same |
29 |
+ |
nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a |
30 |
+ |
location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the |
31 |
+ |
underlying (source) filesystem is the same. |
32 |
+ |
|
33 |
+ |
ifioctl |
34 |
+ |
|
35 |
+ |
As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request |
36 |
+ |
handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is |
37 |
+ |
passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or |
38 |
+ |
return an error code. |
39 |
+ |
|
40 |
+ |
Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR, |
41 |
+ |
SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been |
42 |
+ |
handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input |
43 |
+ |
validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer |
44 |
+ |
actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up" |
45 |
+ |
and resetting the underlying hardware. |
46 |
+ |
|
47 |
+ |
20130824: |
48 |
+ |
Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it |
49 |
+ |
handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers. |
50 |
+ |
FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix |
51 |
+ |
will be included in the next release. |
52 |
+ |
|
53 |
+ |
Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static |
54 |
+ |
binary. It has limited functionality, but can be used to |
55 |
+ |
checkout/commit code. It is named svnlite. |
56 |
+ |
|
57 |
+ |
20130822: |
58 |
+ |
Fix two security vulnerabilities. |
59 |
+ |
|
60 |
+ |
Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST). |
61 |
+ |
This could be exploited to read memory by a user process. |
62 |
+ |
|
63 |
+ |
When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks, |
64 |
+ |
a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized. |

+ |
20120710: |
109 |

BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT |
110 |
+ |
|
111 |

For now, GNU sort is installed as gnusort, but it will |
112 |
+ |
go away in time. |
113 |
+ |
|

BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667. |
123 |
+ |
|
124 |
+ |
Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting |
125 |
+ |
in a DOS attack or information disclosure. |

|
135 |

20111227: |
142 |
+ |
import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8) |
143 |
+ |
|
144 |
+ |
This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel |
145 |
+ |
memory. |
146 |
+ |
|
147 |
+ |
20111223: |
148 |
+ |
telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked |
149 |
+ |
|
150 |
+ |
pam: don't allow escape from policy path. Exploitable in KDE, etc. |
151 |
+ |
|
152 |
+ |
Fix pam_ssh module: |
153 |
+ |
|
154 |
+ |
If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access |
155 |
+ |
to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys. |
156 |
+ |
|
157 |
+ |
This has to due with the way that openssl works. It ignores unencrpted data. |
158 |
+ |
|
159 |
+ |
Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd. |
160 |
+ |
|
161 |
+ |
nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some |
162 |
+ |
operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security |
163 |
+ |
hole in things like ftpd. |
164 |
+ |
|
165 |
+ |
20111217: |
166 |
+ |
libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not |
167 |
+ |
backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog |
168 |
+ |
|
169 |

GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable. |
176 |
+ |
|
177 |
+ |
MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and |
178 |
+ |
setup in boot loader and GEOM. |
179 |
+ |
|
180 |
+ |
amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support |
181 |
+ |
8xx series chipset. |
182 |
+ |
|
183 |
+ |
20111207: |
184 |

import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD. |
185 |
+ |
|
186 |

MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed |
187 |

as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep. |

213 |
+ |
|
214 |
+ |
et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but |
215 |
+ |
not included in GENERIC kernel. The kernel module needs |
216 |
+ |
testing before we can include it in GENERIC. |
217 |
+ |
|
218 |
+ |
intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one |
219 |
+ |
specific CPU core. |
220 |
+ |
|
221 |
+ |
20111017: |
222 |
+ |
Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011) |
223 |
+ |
|
224 |
+ |
Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data. |
225 |
+ |
|
226 |
+ |
20111015: |
227 |
+ |
Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used |
228 |
+ |
to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given |
229 |
+ |
process. Several new system calls were added to support this |
230 |
+ |
functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary |
231 |
+ |
compatibility on amd64. |
232 |
+ |
|
233 |
+ |
The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and |
234 |
+ |
amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE) |
235 |
+ |
for this feature. |
236 |
+ |
|
237 |
+ |
This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches. |
238 |
+ |
|
239 |
+ |
20111004: |
240 |
+ |
Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent |
241 |
+ |
patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network |
242 |
+ |
apps to work under the linuxolator again. |
243 |
+ |
|
244 |
+ |
20111001: |
245 |
+ |
Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is |
246 |
+ |
now default and an environment variable must be set to use |
247 |
+ |
active. |
248 |
+ |
|
249 |
+ |
20110930: |
250 |
+ |
Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including |
251 |
+ |
USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices. |
252 |
+ |
|
253 |
+ |
Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4). |
254 |
+ |
Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed |
255 |
+ |
when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum |
256 |
+ |
offloading. |
257 |
+ |
|
258 |
+ |
Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when |
259 |
+ |
working with large raid3 sets. |
260 |
+ |
|
261 |
+ |
Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller. |
262 |
+ |
|
263 |
+ |
20110929: |
264 |
+ |
Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3. |
265 |
+ |
|
266 |
+ |
The following modules are no longer available, and should be |
267 |
+ |
removed from loader.conf: |
268 |
+ |
ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample |
269 |
+ |
|
270 |
+ |
alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often |
271 |
+ |
required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that |
272 |
+ |
a connection could be established. Disable hibernation. |
273 |
+ |
|
274 |
+ |
20110928: |
275 |
+ |
Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z |
276 |
+ |
files that are corrupted. |
277 |
+ |
|
278 |
+ |
Fix path validation with unix domain sockets. |
279 |
+ |
|
280 |
+ |
20110917: |
281 |
+ |
Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as |
282 |
+ |
it's in the base system. |
283 |
+ |
|
284 |
+ |
20110914: |
285 |
+ |
Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3 |
286 |
+ |
|
287 |
+ |
20110813: |
288 |
+ |
synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64. |
289 |
+ |
|
290 |
+ |
20110806: |
291 |
+ |
sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported |
292 |
+ |
|
293 |
+ |
msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides |
294 |
+ |
a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used |
295 |
+ |
to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable |
296 |
+ |
index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the |
297 |
+ |
/usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable |
298 |
+ |
space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently. |
299 |
+ |
|
300 |
+ |
Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package |
301 |
+ |
versions. This will be obsolete with mport though. |
302 |
+ |
|
303 |
+ |
20110710: |
304 |
+ |
kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to |
305 |
+ |
know why it's in use and thus script can be run. |
306 |
+ |
|
307 |
+ |
Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed |
308 |
+ |
|
309 |
|
20110709: |
310 |
|
cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change |
311 |
|
with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4). |
