Sendmail failed to properly set close-on-exec for open file descriptors. |
8 |
+ |
|
9 |
+ |
ktrace page fault kernel trace entries were set to an incorrect size which resulted |
10 |
+ |
in a leak of information. |
11 |

|
12 |
+ |
20140430: |
13 |
+ |
Fix a TCP reassembly bug that could result in a DOS attack |
14 |

of the system. It may be possible to obtain portions |
15 |
+ |
of kernel memory as well. |
16 |

37 |
+ |
|
38 |
+ |

Remove sparc64 architecture. It hasn't been working for awhile |
40 |
+ |
and it's not useful for desktops anymore. |
41 |
+ |
|
42 |
+ |
20131205: |

20131004: |
55 |
+ |
rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD) |
56 |
+ |
|
57 |
+ |
20130917: |
58 |
+ |
Support for 65,536 routing tables was added. A new fib specific |
59 |
+ |
field has been added to mbuf. This is an increase from 16. |
60 |
+ |
|
61 |
+ |
20130910: |
62 |
+ |
Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001) |
63 |
+ |
|
64 |
+ |
nullfs(5) |
65 |
+ |
|
66 |
+ |
The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not |
67 |
+ |
check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same |
68 |
+ |
nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a |
69 |
+ |
location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the |
70 |
+ |
underlying (source) filesystem is the same. |
71 |
+ |
|
72 |
+ |
ifioctl |
73 |
+ |
|
74 |
+ |
As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request |
75 |
+ |
handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is |
76 |
+ |
passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or |
77 |
+ |
return an error code. |
78 |
+ |
|
79 |
+ |
Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR, |
80 |
+ |
SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been |
81 |
+ |
handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input |
82 |
+ |
validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer |
83 |
+ |
actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up" |
84 |
+ |
and resetting the underlying hardware. |
85 |
+ |
|
86 |
+ |
20130824: |
87 |
+ |
Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it |
88 |
+ |
handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers. |
89 |
+ |
FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix |
90 |
+ |
will be included in the next release. |
91 |
+ |
|
92 |
+ |
Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static |
93 |
+ |
binary. It has limited functionality, but can be used to |
94 |
+ |
checkout/commit code. It is named svnlite. |
95 |
+ |
|
96 |
+ |
20130822: |
97 |
+ |
Fix two security vulnerabilities. |
98 |
+ |
|
99 |
+ |
Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST). |
100 |
+ |
This could be exploited to read memory by a user process. |
101 |
+ |
|
102 |
+ |
When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks, |
103 |
+ |
a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized. |
104 |
+ |
|
105 |

BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT |
149 |
+ |
|
150 |

151 |
+ |
go away in time. |

Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting |
164 |
+ |
in a DOS attack or information disclosure. |
165 |

181 |
+ |
import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8) |
182 |
+ |
|
183 |
+ |
This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel |
184 |
+ |
memory. |
185 |
+ |
|
186 |
+ |
20111223: |
187 |

telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked |
188 |
+ |
|
189 |
+ |
pam: don't allow escape from policy path. Exploitable in KDE, etc. |
190 |
+ |
|
191 |
+ |
Fix pam_ssh module: |
192 |
+ |
|
193 |
+ |
If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access |
194 |
+ |
to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys. |
195 |
+ |
|
196 |
+ |
This has to due with the way that openssl works. It ignores unencrpted data. |
197 |
+ |
|
198 |
+ |
Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd. |
199 |
+ |
|
200 |
+ |
nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some |
201 |
+ |
operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security |
202 |
+ |
hole in things like ftpd. |
203 |
+ |
|
204 |
+ |
20111217: |
205 |

|
253 |

et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but |
254 |
+ |
not included in GENERIC kernel. The kernel module needs |
255 |
+ |
testing before we can include it in GENERIC. |
256 |
+ |
|
257 |
+ |
intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one |
258 |

264 |
+ |
|
265 |
+ |
20111015: |
266 |
+ |
Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used |
267 |
+ |
to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given |
268 |
+ |
process. Several new system calls were added to support this |
269 |
+ |
functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary |
270 |
+ |
compatibility on amd64. |
271 |
+ |
|
272 |
+ |
The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and |
273 |
+ |
amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE) |
274 |
+ |
for this feature. |
275 |
+ |
|
276 |
+ |
This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches. |
277 |
+ |
|
278 |
+ |
20111004: |
279 |
+ |
Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent |
280 |
+ |
patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network |
281 |
+ |
apps to work under the linuxolator again. |
282 |
+ |
|
283 |
+ |
20111001: |
284 |
+ |
Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is |
285 |
+ |
now default and an environment variable must be set to use |
286 |
+ |
active. |
287 |
+ |
|
288 |
+ |
20110930: |
289 |
+ |
Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including |
290 |
+ |
USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices. |
291 |
+ |
|
292 |
+ |
Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4). |
293 |
+ |
Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed |
294 |
+ |
when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum |
295 |
+ |
offloading. |
296 |
+ |
|
297 |
+ |
Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when |
298 |
+ |
working with large raid3 sets. |
299 |
+ |
|
300 |
+ |
Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller. |
301 |
+ |
|
302 |
+ |
20110929: |
303 |
+ |
Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3. |
304 |
+ |
|
305 |
+ |
The following modules are no longer available, and should be |
306 |
+ |
removed from loader.conf: |
307 |
+ |
ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample |
308 |
+ |
|
309 |
+ |
alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often |
310 |
+ |
required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that |
311 |
+ |
a connection could be established. Disable hibernation. |
312 |
+ |
|
313 |
+ |
20110928: |
314 |
+ |
Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z |

Fix path validation with unix domain sockets. |
318 |
+ |
|
319 |
+ |
20110917: |
320 |
+ |
Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as |
321 |
+ |
it's in the base system. |
322 |
