3 + 20160818:
4 +        expat security fix
5 +
6 +        Multiple integer overflows have been discovered in the XML_GetBuffer()
7 +        function in the expat library.
8 +
9 + 20160815:
10 +        libc changes:
11 +        setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
12 +        libc will compile without error using clang
13 +
14 + 20160814:
15 +        wait6 system call added.
16 +
17 +        date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
18 +        like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
19 +
20 + 20160811:
21 +        ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
22 +        Intel lynxpoint SATA.
23 +
24 +        Fix some const warnings when building several device drivers
25 +        with llvm/clang.
26 +
27 +        Sync cas(4) with FreeBSD 9-stable.
28 +
29 +        Fix some minor issues with ath(4).
30 +
31 + 20160809:
32 +        xz 5.0.8
33 +
34 + 20160808:
35 +        libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
36 +
37 + 20160805:
38 +        routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
39 +        the network can disrupt routing.
40 +
41 +        bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
42 +        to run.
43 +
44 + 20160802:
45 +        jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
46 +
47 + 20160728:
48 +        Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
49 +
50 +        OpenSSL 1.0.1o
51 +
52 +        cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
53 +
54 +        TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
55 +        There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
56 +        global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
57 +        queues into a per-VNET limit.  Because mbufs are allocated from a
58 +        global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
59 +        total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
60 +        total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
61 +        traffic would cease.
62 +        Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
63 +
64 +        OpenSSH
65 +
66 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
67 +        OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
68 +        offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
69 +
70 +        OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
71 +        using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
72 +        MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
73 +
74 +
75 +        Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
76 +
77 + 20160726:
78 +        BSD Sort updated
79 +
80 +        sqlite 3.8.10.2
81 +
82 + 20160725:
83 +        Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.  
84 +
85 +        The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
86 +        nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
87 +        calculation nmemb * size.
88 +
89 + 20150722:
90 +        Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
91 +        state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
92 +
93 + 20150715:
94 +        libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
95 +        a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
96 +        it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
97 +        .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
98 +        only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
99 +
100 + 20150709:
101 +        flex 2.5.39
102 +
103 + 20150702:
104 +        ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
105 +        with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
106 +
107 +        Verify it's working with
108 +        zfs get compressratio pool/path
109 +        du -h -s *
110 +
111 +        Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
112 +        changes. Existing files are not compressed.
113 +
114 +        Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
115 +        FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
116 +        and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
117 +        to ZFS.
118 +
119 + 20150621:
120 +        libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
121 +
122 +        The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
123 +        for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
124 +
125 + 20150618:
126 +        Sendmail
127 +
128 +        With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
129 +        sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
130 +
131 +        Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
132 +        match the server configuration.
133 +
134 +        ZFS
135 +
136 +        Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
137 +        ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
138 +
139 +        Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
140 +        first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
141 +        amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
142 +        to disable this behaviour.
143 +
144 +        ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
145 +        is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
146 +        via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
147 +
148 +        Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
149 +        under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
150 +
151 +        rc.d
152 +
153 +        Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
154 +        implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
155 +
156 +        Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.
157 +
158 + 20150613:
159 +        tzdata 2015d
160 +
161 + 20150612:
162 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zg
163 +
164 + 20150419:
165 +        MidnightBSD 0.6 stable branch created. Continue 0.7
166 +        development.
167 +
168 + 20150418:
169 +        sqlite 3.8.9
170 +
171 + 20150407:
172 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
173 +
174 +        The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected.
175 +
176 +        ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a
177 +        suggested Current Hop Limit value of a link, which will replace
178 +        Current Hop Limit on an interface connected to the link on the MidnightBSD
179 +        system.
180 +
181 + 20150319:
182 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8.zf
183 +
184 +        mksh R50e
185 +
186 +        Apple mDNSResponder 561.1.1
187 +
188 + 20150306:
189 +        Upgrade OpenSSL to 0.9.8ze
190 +
191 + 20150225:
192 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
193 +
194 +        1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
195 +        are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
196 +        "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
197 +        unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
198 +        variable.
199 +
200 +        CVE-2015-1349
201 +
202 +        2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
203 +        in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
204 +
205 +        This can result in a DOS attack.
206 +
207 + 20141211:
208 +        Fix a security issue with file and libmagic that can allow
209 +        an attacker to create a denial of service attack on any
210 +        program that uses libmagic.
211 +
212 + 20141109:
213 +        Fix building perl during buildworld when the GDBM port is installed.
214 +
215 + 20141106:
216 +        tzdata 2014i
217 +
218 + 20141102:
219 +        serf 1.3.8
220 +
221 + 20141031:
222 +        tnftp 20141031 fixes a security vulnerability with tnftp,
223 +        CVE-2014-8517.
224 +
225 + 20141028:
226 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zc
227 +
228 + 20141021:
229 +        Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
230 +        and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
231 +        nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
232 +
233 +        The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
234 +        attempt to answer them.  However, the output path assumes that the
235 +        destination address for the response is on a directly connected
236 +        network.
237 +
238 +        Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
239 +        a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
240 +        overflow in rtsold(8).
241 +
242 + 20141011:
243 +        mksh R50d - fix field splitting regression and null
244 +        pointer dereference
245 +
246 +        xz 5.0.7
247 +
248 +        OpenSSH 6.6p1
249 +
250 + 20141004:
251 +        mksh R50c - security update for environment var bug with
252 +        foo vs foo+    
253 +
254 + 20141002:
255 +        sqlite 3.8.6
256 +
257 +        sudo 1.7.8 - some issues with the current version, but we're slowly
258 +        getting up to date.
259 +
260 + 20141001:
261 +        mksh R50b
262 +
263 +        libmport now supports plist commands @dir, @owner, @group, @mode.
264 +
265 +        sudo 1.7.6p2
266 +
267 + 20140916:
268 +        Fix a security issue with TCP SYN.
269 +
270 +        When a segment with the SYN flag for an already existing connection arrives,
271 +        the TCP stack tears down the connection, bypassing a check that the
272 +        sequence number in the segment is in the expected window.
273 +
274 + 20140909:
275 +        Fixed a bug with our clearenv(3) implementation that caused segfaults
276 +        with some programs including Dovecot.
277 +
278 +        OpenSSL security patch:
279 +
280 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS handshake message may cause OpenSSL
281 +        to consume large amounts of memory. [CVE-2014-3506]
282 +
283 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS packet could cause OpenSSL to leak
284 +        memory. [CVE-2014-3507]
285 +
286 +        A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
287 +        X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
288 +        the stack. [CVE-2014-3508]
289 +
290 +        OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject to
291 +        a denial of service attack. [CVE-2014-3510]
292 +
293 + 20140902:
294 +        We're now 0.6-CURRENT
295 +
296 +        Update USB quirks to support K70 Corsair keyboard, and several
297 +        other devices.
298 +
299 + 20140827:
300 +        Perl 5.18.2
301 +
302 + 20140728:
303 +        Jails now run shutdown scripts.
304 +
305 + 20140710:
306 +        Fix a vulnerability in the control message API. A buffer is not properly cleared
307 +        before sharing with userland.
308 +
309 + 20140701:
310 +        MKSH R50
311 +
312 + 20140630:
313 +        File 5.19
314 +
315 + 20140605:
316 +        Fix four security issues with OpenSSL
317 +
318 + 20140604:
319 +        Sendmail failed to properly set close-on-exec for open file descriptors.
320 +
321 +        ktrace page fault kernel trace entries were set to an incorrect size which resulted
322 +        in a leak of information.
323 +
324 + 20140430:
325 +        Fix a TCP reassembly bug that could result in a DOS attack
326 +        of the system. It may be possible to obtain portions
327 +        of kernel memory as well.
328 +
329 + 20140411:
330 +        Update zlib to 1.2.7
331 +
332 + 20140122:
333 +        Support for username with length 32. Previous limit was 16
334 +
335 + 20140114:
336 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
337 +
338 +        bsnmpd contains a stack overflow when sent certain queries.
339 +
340 +        bind 9.8 when using NSEC3-signed zones zones, will crash with special
341 +        crafted packets.
342 +
343 + 20131228:
344 +        Imported FreeBSD 9.2 usb stack (plus z87 patches from stable)
345 +
346 +        Updated em(4), igb(4) and ixgbe(4)
347 +
348 +        MidnightBSD now works with Z87 Intel chipsets.
349 +
350 + 20131207:
351 +        Remove sparc64 architecture. It hasn't been working for awhile
352 +        and it's not useful for desktops anymore.
353 +
354 + 20131205:
355 +        OpenSSH 6.4p1
356 +
357 + 20131203:
358 +        Perl 5.18.1 imported.
359 +
360 +        Update less to v458
361 +
362 + 20131130:
363 +        Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for
364 +        now until replacements can be found.
365 +
366 + 20131004:
367 +        rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD)
368 +
369 + 20130917:
370 +        Support for 65,536 routing tables was added.  A new fib specific
371 +        field has been added to mbuf.  This is an increase from 16.
372 +
373 + 20130910:
374 +        Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
375 +
376 +        nullfs(5)
377 +
378 +        The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
379 +        check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
380 +        nullfs instance.  It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
381 +        location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
382 +        underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
383 +
384 +        ifioctl
385 +
386 +        As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
387 +        handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
388 +        passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
389 +        return an error code.
390 +
391 +        Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
392 +        SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
393 +        handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
394 +        validation or verify the caller's credentials.  Typical link-layer
395 +        actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
396 +        and resetting the underlying hardware.
397 +
398 + 20130824:
399 +        Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
400 +        handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
401 +        FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
402 +        will be included in the next release.
403 +
404 +        Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
405 +        binary.  It has limited functionality, but can be used to
406 +        checkout/commit code.  It is named svnlite.
407 +
408 + 20130822:
409 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
410 +
411 +        Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
412 +        This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
413 +
414 +        When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
415 +        a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.
416 +
417 +        Import xz 5.0.4

430 +
431 +        virtio(4) imported from FreeBSD 9-stable. SCSI support not
432 +        included.
433 +
434 + 20130612:
435 +        RELENG_0_4 created for 0.4. Development continues on 0.5.

459 + 20120710:
460 +        BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT
461 +
462 +        For now, GNU sort is installed as gnusort, but it will
463 +        go away in time.

471 +
472 + 20120612:
473 +        BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667.
474 +
475 +        Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting
476 +        in a DOS attack or information disclosure.
477 +
478 + 20120407:

491 +
492 + 20111227:
493 +        import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8)
494 +
495 +        This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel
496 +        memory.
497 +
498 + 20111223:
499 +        telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked
500 +
501 +        pam: don't allow escape from policy path.  Exploitable in KDE, etc.
502 +
503 +        Fix pam_ssh module:
504 +
505 +        If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
506 +        to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
507 +
508 +        This has to due with the way that openssl works.  It ignores unencrpted data.
509 +
510 +        Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
511 +
512 +        nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
513 +        operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
514 +        hole in things like ftpd.
515 +
516 + 20111217:
517 +        libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
518 +        backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
519 +

521 +        mksh r40d imported
522 +
523 + 20111210:
524 +        re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
525 +
526 +        GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable.
527 +
528 +        MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
529 +        setup in boot loader and GEOM.
530 +
531 +        amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
532 +        8xx series chipset.
533 +
534 + 20111207:
535 +        import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
536 +
537 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
538 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
539 +

563 +        awk 20110810 imported
564 +
565 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
566 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
567 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
568 +
569 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
570 +        specific CPU core.
571 +
572 + 20111017:
573 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
574 +
575 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
576 +
577 + 20111015:
578 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
579 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
580 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
581 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
582 +        compatibility on amd64.
583 +
584 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
585 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
586 +        for this feature.
587 +
588 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
589 +
590 + 20111004:
591 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
592 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
593 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
594 +
595 + 20111001:
596 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
597 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
598 +        active.
599 +
600   20110930:
601          Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
602          USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
