# Line 1 | Line 1
1   Updating Information for MidnightBSD users.
2  
3 + 20160114:
4 +        Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
5 +
6 +        
7 +
8 + 20160102:
9 +        Happy New Year
10 +
11 + 20151101:
12 +        Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
13 +
14 + 20151017:
15 +        Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
16 +        it in mport(1).
17 +
18 + 20151002:
19 +        Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
20 +
21 + 20150930:
22 +        In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
23 +        two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer.  When one
24 +        of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
25 +        would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
26 +
27 + 20150926:
28 +        libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
29 +        to replace @exec and @unexec.  
30 +
31 +        pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
32 +
33 +        post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
34 +        pkg message.
35 +
36 +        pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
37 +
38 +        post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
39 +
40 + 20150917:
41 +        Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
42 +
43 + 20150825:
44 +        kernel:
45 +        fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via
46 +        userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
47 +
48 +        openssh:
49 +        A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
50 +        service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
51 +        overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
52 +
53 +        A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
54 +        service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
55 +        compromised unprivileged child process.
56 +
57 +        A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
58 +        service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
59 +
60 + 20150818:
61 +        expat security fix
62 +
63 + 20150815:
64 +        libc changes:
65 +        setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
66 +        libc will compile without error using clang
67 +
68 + 20150814:
69 +        wait6 system call added.
70 +
71 +        date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
72 +        like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
73 +
74 + 20150811:
75 +        ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
76 +        Intel lynxpoint SATA.
77 +
78 +        Fix some const warnings when building several device drivers
79 +        with llvm/clang.
80 +
81 +        Sync cas(4) with FreeBSD 9-stable.
82 +
83 +        Fix some minor issues with ath(4).
84 +
85 + 20150809:
86 +        xz 5.0.8
87 +
88 + 20150808:
89 +        libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
90 +
91 + 20150805:
92 +        routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
93 +        the network can disrupt routing.
94 +
95 +        bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
96 +        to run.
97 +
98 + 20150802:
99 +        jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
100 +
101 + 20150728:
102 +        Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
103 +
104 +        OpenSSL 1.0.1o
105 +
106 +        cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
107 +
108 +        TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
109 +        There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
110 +        global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
111 +        queues into a per-VNET limit.  Because mbufs are allocated from a
112 +        global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
113 +        total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
114 +        total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
115 +        traffic would cease.
116 +        Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
117 +
118 +        OpenSSH
119 +
120 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
121 +        OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
122 +        offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
123 +
124 +        OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
125 +        using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
126 +        MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
127 +
128 +
129 +        Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
130 +
131 + 20150726:
132 +        BSD Sort updated
133 +
134 +        sqlite 3.8.10.2
135 +
136 + 20150725:
137 +        Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.  
138 +
139 +        The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
140 +        nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
141 +        calculation nmemb * size.
142 +
143 + 20150722:
144 +        Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
145 +        state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
146 +
147 + 20150715:
148 +        libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
149 +        a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
150 +        it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
151 +        .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
152 +        only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
153 +
154 + 20150709:
155 +        flex 2.5.39
156 +
157 + 20150702:
158 +        ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
159 +        with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
160 +
161 +        Verify it's working with
162 +        zfs get compressratio pool/path
163 +        du -h -s *
164 +
165 +        Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
166 +        changes. Existing files are not compressed.
167 +
168 +        Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
169 +        FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
170 +        and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
171 +        to ZFS.
172 +
173 + 20150621:
174 +        libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
175 +
176 +        The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
177 +        for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
178 +
179 + 20150618:
180 +        Sendmail
181 +
182 +        With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
183 +        sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
184 +
185 +        Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
186 +        match the server configuration.
187 +
188 +        ZFS
189 +
190 +        Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
191 +        ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
192 +
193 +        Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
194 +        first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
195 +        amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
196 +        to disable this behaviour.
197 +
198 +        ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
199 +        is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
200 +        via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
201 +
202 +        Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
203 +        under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
204 +
205 +        rc.d
206 +
207 +        Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
208 +        implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
209 +
210 +        Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.
211 +
212 + 20150613:
213 +        tzdata 2015d
214 +
215 + 20150612:
216 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zg
217 +
218 + 20150419:
219 +        MidnightBSD 0.6 stable branch created. Continue 0.7
220 +        development.
221 +
222 + 20150418:
223 +        sqlite 3.8.9
224 +
225 + 20150407:
226 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
227 +
228 +        The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected.
229 +
230 +        ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a
231 +        suggested Current Hop Limit value of a link, which will replace
232 +        Current Hop Limit on an interface connected to the link on the MidnightBSD
233 +        system.
234 +
235 + 20150319:
236 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8.zf
237 +
238 +        mksh R50e
239 +
240 +        Apple mDNSResponder 561.1.1
241 +
242 + 20150306:
243 +        Upgrade OpenSSL to 0.9.8ze
244 +
245 + 20150225:
246 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
247 +
248 +        1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
249 +        are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
250 +        "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
251 +        unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
252 +        variable.
253 +
254 +        CVE-2015-1349
255 +
256 +        2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
257 +        in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
258 +
259 +        This can result in a DOS attack.
260 +
261 + 20141211:
262 +        Fix a security issue with file and libmagic that can allow
263 +        an attacker to create a denial of service attack on any
264 +        program that uses libmagic.
265 +
266 + 20141109:
267 +        Fix building perl during buildworld when the GDBM port is installed.
268 +
269 + 20141106:
270 +        tzdata 2014i
271 +
272 + 20141102:
273 +        serf 1.3.8
274 +
275 + 20141031:
276 +        tnftp 20141031 fixes a security vulnerability with tnftp,
277 +        CVE-2014-8517.
278 +
279 + 20141028:
280 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zc
281 +
282 + 20141021:
283 +        Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
284 +        and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
285 +        nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
286 +
287 +        The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
288 +        attempt to answer them.  However, the output path assumes that the
289 +        destination address for the response is on a directly connected
290 +        network.
291 +
292 +        Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
293 +        a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
294 +        overflow in rtsold(8).
295 +
296 + 20141011:
297 +        mksh R50d - fix field splitting regression and null
298 +        pointer dereference
299 +
300 +        xz 5.0.7
301 +
302 +        OpenSSH 6.6p1
303 +
304 + 20141004:
305 +        mksh R50c - security update for environment var bug with
306 +        foo vs foo+    
307 +
308 + 20141002:
309 +        sqlite 3.8.6
310 +
311 +        sudo 1.7.8 - some issues with the current version, but we're slowly
312 +        getting up to date.
313 +
314   20141001:
315          mksh R50b
316  
317          libmport now supports plist commands @dir, @owner, @group, @mode.
318 +
319 +        sudo 1.7.6p2
320  
321   20140916:
322          Fix a security issue with TCP SYN.
