1 > Updating Information for MidnightBSD users.
2  
3 + 20120612:
4 +        BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667.
5 +
6 +        Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting
7 +        in a DOS attack or information disclosure.
8 +
9 + 20120407:
10 +        mksh R40f (fixes regression)
11 +
12 + 20120328:
13 +        mksh R40e
14 +
15 +        Perl 5.14.2
16 +
17 + 20120229:
18 +        cpucontrol(8) and cpuctl(4) added from FreeBSD 7-stable.
19 +
20 + 20120209:
21 +        mDNSResponder 333.10 imported
22 +
23 + 20111227:
24 +        import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8)
25 +
26 +        This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel
27 +        memory.
28 +
29 + 20111223:
30 +        telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked
31 +
32 +        pam: don't allow escape from policy path.  Exploitable in KDE, etc.
33 +
34 +        Fix pam_ssh module:
35 +
36 +        If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
37 +        to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
38 +
39 +        This has to due with the way that openssl works.  It ignores unencrpted data.
40 +
41 +        Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
42 +
43 +        nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
44 +        operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
45 +        hole in things like ftpd.
46 +
47 + 20111217:
48 +        libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
49 +        backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
50 +
51 + 20111212:
52 +        mksh r40d imported
53 +
54 + 20111210:
55 +        re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
56 +
57 +        GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable.
58 +
59 +        MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
60 +        setup in boot loader and GEOM.
61 +
62 +        amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
63 +        8xx series chipset.
64 +
65 + 20111207:
66 +        import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
67 +
68 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
69 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
70 +
71 + 20111122:
72 +        mksh vR40c imported.
73 +
74 + 20111117:
75 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5 P1
76 +
77 + 20111107:
78 +        tzdata 2011n
79 +
80 + 20111026:
81 +        mDNSResponder v320
82 +
83 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5
84 +
85 + 20111022:
86 +        cflow 0.0.6 imported
87 +
88 + 20111020:
89 +        less v436 imported
90 +
91 +        amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
92 +
93 + 20111019:
94 +        awk 20110810 imported
95 +
96 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
97 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
98 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
99 +
100 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
101 +        specific CPU core.
102 +
103 + 20111017:
104 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
105 +
106 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
107 +
108 + 20111015:
109 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
110 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
111 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
112 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
113 +        compatibility on amd64.
114 +
115 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
116 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
117 +        for this feature.
118 +
119 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
120 +
121 + 20111004:
122 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
123 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
124 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
125 +
126 + 20111001:
127 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
128 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
129 +        active.
130 +
131 + 20110930:
132 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
133 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
134 +
135 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
136 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
137 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
138 +        offloading.
139 +
140 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
141 +        working with large raid3 sets.
142 +
143 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
144 +
145 + 20110929:
146 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
147 +
148 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
149 +        removed from loader.conf:
150 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
151 +
152 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
153 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
154 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
155 +
156 + 20110928:
157 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
158 +        files that are corrupted.
159 +
160 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
161 +
162 + 20110917:
163 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
164 +        it's in the base system.
165 +
166 + 20110914:
167 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
168 +
169 + 20110813:
170 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
171 +
172 + 20110806:
173 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
174 +
175 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
176 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
177 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
178 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
179 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
180 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
181 +
182 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
183 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
184 +
185 + 20110710:
186 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
187 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
188 +
189 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
190 +
191 + 20110709:
192 +        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
193 +        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
194 +
195 + 20110612:
196 +        Update mksh to R40
197 +
198 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
199 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
200 +
201 + 20110528:
202 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
203 +
204 + 20110526:
205 +        newfs:
206 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
207 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
208 +
209 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
210 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
211 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
212 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
213 +
214 + 20110521:
215 +        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
216 +        all packages from a system.
217 +
218 +        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
219 +
220 + 20110518:
221 +        Perl 5.14.0
222 +
223 + 20110517:
224 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
225 +
226 + 20110314:
227 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
228 +
229 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
230 +
231 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
232 +
233 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
234 +
235   20110308:
236          Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
237
