# Line 1 | Line 1
1   Updating Information for MidnightBSD users.
2  
3 + 20160728:
4 +        Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
5 +
6 +        OpenSSL 1.0.1o
7 +
8 +        cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
9 +
10 +        TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
11 +        There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
12 +        global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
13 +        queues into a per-VNET limit.  Because mbufs are allocated from a
14 +        global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
15 +        total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
16 +        total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
17 +        traffic would cease.
18 +        Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
19 +
20 +        OpenSSH
21 +
22 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
23 +        OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
24 +        offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
25 +
26 +        OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
27 +        using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
28 +        MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
29 +
30 + 20160726:
31 +        BSD Sort updated
32 +
33 +        sqlite 3.8.10.2
34 +
35 + 20160725:
36 +        Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.  
37 +
38 +        The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
39 +        nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
40 +        calculation nmemb * size.
41 +
42 + 20150722:
43 +        Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
44 +        state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
45 +
46 + 20150715:
47 +        libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
48 +        a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
49 +        it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
50 +        .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
51 +        only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
52 +
53 + 20150709:
54 +        flex 2.5.39
55 +
56 + 20150702:
57 +        ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
58 +        with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
59 +
60 +        Verify it's working with
61 +        zfs get compressratio pool/path
62 +        du -h -s *
63 +
64 +        Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
65 +        changes. Existing files are not compressed.
66 +
67 +        Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
68 +        FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
69 +        and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
70 +        to ZFS.
71 +
72 + 20150621:
73 +        libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
74 +
75 +        The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
76 +        for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
77 +
78 + 20150618:
79 +        Sendmail
80 +
81 +        With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
82 +        sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
83 +
84 +        Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
85 +        match the server configuration.
86 +
87 +        ZFS
88 +
89 +        Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
90 +        ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
91 +
92 +        Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
93 +        first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
94 +        amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
95 +        to disable this behaviour.
96 +
97 +        ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
98 +        is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
99 +        via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
100 +
101 +        Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
102 +        under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
103 +
104 +        rc.d
105 +
106 +        Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
107 +        implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
108 +
109 +        Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.
110 +
111 + 20150613:
112 +        tzdata 2015d
113 +
114 + 20150612:
115 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zg
116 +
117 + 20150419:
118 +        MidnightBSD 0.6 stable branch created. Continue 0.7
119 +        development.
120 +
121 + 20150418:
122 +        sqlite 3.8.9
123 +
124 + 20150407:
125 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
126 +
127 +        The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected.
128 +
129 +        ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a
130 +        suggested Current Hop Limit value of a link, which will replace
131 +        Current Hop Limit on an interface connected to the link on the MidnightBSD
132 +        system.
133 +
134 + 20150319:
135 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8.zf
136 +
137 +        mksh R50e
138 +
139 +        Apple mDNSResponder 561.1.1
140 +
141 + 20150306:
142 +        Upgrade OpenSSL to 0.9.8ze
143 +
144 + 20150225:
145 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
146 +
147 +        1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
148 +        are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
149 +        "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
150 +        unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
151 +        variable.
152 +
153 +        CVE-2015-1349
154 +
155 +        2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
156 +        in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
157 +
158 +        This can result in a DOS attack.
159 +
160 + 20141211:
161 +        Fix a security issue with file and libmagic that can allow
162 +        an attacker to create a denial of service attack on any
163 +        program that uses libmagic.
164 +
165 + 20141109:
166 +        Fix building perl during buildworld when the GDBM port is installed.
167 +
168 + 20141106:
169 +        tzdata 2014i
170 +
171 + 20141102:
172 +        serf 1.3.8
173 +
174 + 20141031:
175 +        tnftp 20141031 fixes a security vulnerability with tnftp,
176 +        CVE-2014-8517.
177 +
178 + 20141028:
179 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zc
180 +
181 + 20141021:
182 +        Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
183 +        and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
184 +        nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
185 +
186 +        The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
187 +        attempt to answer them.  However, the output path assumes that the
188 +        destination address for the response is on a directly connected
189 +        network.
190 +
191 +        Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
192 +        a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
193 +        overflow in rtsold(8).
194 +
195 + 20141011:
196 +        mksh R50d - fix field splitting regression and null
197 +        pointer dereference
198 +
199 +        xz 5.0.7
200 +
201 +        OpenSSH 6.6p1
202 +
203 + 20141004:
204 +        mksh R50c - security update for environment var bug with
205 +        foo vs foo+    
206 +
207 + 20141002:
208 +        sqlite 3.8.6
209 +
210 +        sudo 1.7.8 - some issues with the current version, but we're slowly
211 +        getting up to date.
212 +
213 + 20141001:
214 +        mksh R50b
215 +
216 +        libmport now supports plist commands @dir, @owner, @group, @mode.
217 +
218 +        sudo 1.7.6p2
219 +
220 + 20140916:
221 +        Fix a security issue with TCP SYN.
222 +
223 +        When a segment with the SYN flag for an already existing connection arrives,
224 +        the TCP stack tears down the connection, bypassing a check that the
225 +        sequence number in the segment is in the expected window.
226 +
227 + 20140909:
228 +        Fixed a bug with our clearenv(3) implementation that caused segfaults
229 +        with some programs including Dovecot.
230 +
231 +        OpenSSL security patch:
232 +
233 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS handshake message may cause OpenSSL
234 +        to consume large amounts of memory. [CVE-2014-3506]
235 +
236 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS packet could cause OpenSSL to leak
237 +        memory. [CVE-2014-3507]
238 +
239 +        A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
240 +        X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
241 +        the stack. [CVE-2014-3508]
242 +
243 +        OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject to
244 +        a denial of service attack. [CVE-2014-3510]
245 +
246 + 20140902:
247 +        We're now 0.6-CURRENT
248 +
249 +        Update USB quirks to support K70 Corsair keyboard, and several
250 +        other devices.
251 +
252 + 20140827:
253 +        Perl 5.18.2
254 +
255 + 20140728:
256 +        Jails now run shutdown scripts.
257 +
258 + 20140710:
259 +        Fix a vulnerability in the control message API. A buffer is not properly cleared
260 +        before sharing with userland.
261 +
262 + 20140701:
263 +        MKSH R50
264 +
265 + 20140630:
266 +        File 5.19
267 +
268 + 20140605:
269 +        Fix four security issues with OpenSSL
270 +
271 + 20140604:
272 +        Sendmail failed to properly set close-on-exec for open file descriptors.
273 +
274 +        ktrace page fault kernel trace entries were set to an incorrect size which resulted
275 +        in a leak of information.
276 +
277 + 20140430:
278 +        Fix a TCP reassembly bug that could result in a DOS attack
279 +        of the system. It may be possible to obtain portions
280 +        of kernel memory as well.
281 +
282 + 20140411:
283 +        Update zlib to 1.2.7
284 +
285 + 20140122:
286 +        Support for username with length 32. Previous limit was 16
287 +
288 + 20140114:
289 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
290 +
291 +        bsnmpd contains a stack overflow when sent certain queries.
292 +
293 +        bind 9.8 when using NSEC3-signed zones zones, will crash with special
294 +        crafted packets.
295 +
296 + 20131228:
297 +        Imported FreeBSD 9.2 usb stack (plus z87 patches from stable)
298 +
299 +        Updated em(4), igb(4) and ixgbe(4)
300 +
301 +        MidnightBSD now works with Z87 Intel chipsets.
302 +
303 + 20131207:
304 +        Remove sparc64 architecture. It hasn't been working for awhile
305 +        and it's not useful for desktops anymore.
306 +
307 + 20131205:
308 +        OpenSSH 6.4p1
309 +
310 + 20131203:
311 +        Perl 5.18.1 imported.
312 +
313 +        Update less to v458
314 +
315 + 20131130:
316 +        Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for
317 +        now until replacements can be found.
318 +
319 + 20131004:
320 +        rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD)
321 +
322 + 20130917:
323 +        Support for 65,536 routing tables was added.  A new fib specific
324 +        field has been added to mbuf.  This is an increase from 16.
325 +
326 + 20130910:
327 +        Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
328 +
329 +        nullfs(5)
330 +
331 +        The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
332 +        check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
333 +        nullfs instance.  It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
334 +        location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
335 +        underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
336 +
337 +        ifioctl
338 +
339 +        As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
340 +        handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
341 +        passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
342 +        return an error code.
343 +
344 +        Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
345 +        SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
346 +        handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
347 +        validation or verify the caller's credentials.  Typical link-layer
348 +        actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
349 +        and resetting the underlying hardware.
350 +
351 + 20130824:
352 +        Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
353 +        handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
354 +        FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
355 +        will be included in the next release.
356 +
357 +        Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
358 +        binary.  It has limited functionality, but can be used to
359 +        checkout/commit code.  It is named svnlite.
360 +
361 + 20130822:
362 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
363 +
364 +        Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
365 +        This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
366 +
367 +        When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
368 +        a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.
369 +
370 +        Import xz 5.0.4
371 +
372 +        Import sqlite 3.7.17
373 +
374 +        Import BIND 9.8.5-P2
375 +
376 + 20130814:
377 +        mksh R48 imported.
378 +
379 +        Sendmail 8.14.7 imported.
380 +
381 + 20130717:
382 +        libmport bug was fixed causing hash verification to fail.
383 +
384 +        virtio(4) imported from FreeBSD 9-stable. SCSI support not
385 +        included.
386 +
387 + 20130612:
388 +        RELENG_0_4 created for 0.4. Development continues on 0.5.
389 +
390   20130402:
391          Update BIND and OpenSSL to resolve security advisories.
