98
99 20160923:
100 Security update for OpenSSL
101
102 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension.
103 If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status
104 Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the
105 server. [CVE-2016-6304]
106
107 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or through
108 the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker is able to supply
109 very large amounts of input data after a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate()
110 with a partial block then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
111 corruption. [CVE-2016-6303]
112
113 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
114 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
115 ultimately crash. [CVE-2016-6302]
116
117 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
118 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
119 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
120 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
121 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
122 [CVE-2016-2182]
123
124 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
125 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
126 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are presented.
127 [CVE-2016-2180]
128
129 Some calculations of limits in OpenSSL have used undefined pointer arithmetic.
130 This could cause problems with some malloc implementations. [CVE-2016-2177]
131
132 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in order to
133 avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA implementation means that
134 a non-constant time codepath is followed for certain operations. [CVE-2016-2178]
135
136 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order those
137 messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered for later
138 use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages
139 do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has been completed.
140 An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to remain in the buffer when
141 they are no longer required. These messages will be cleared when the DTLS
142 connection is closed. The default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore
143 the attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per connection.
144 [CVE-2016-2179]
145
146 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records that
147 arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before the MAC
148 for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by
149 sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have a
150 valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that all subsequent
151 legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of service for a specific
152 DTLS connection. [CVE-2016-2181]
153
154 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result in
155 OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a theoretical
156 DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common platforms.
157 [CVE-2016-6306]
158
159 20160918:
160 With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
161 depended on during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
162 the user prior to installworld.
163
164 The VFS KBI was changed with the merge of several nullfs
165 optimizations and fixes. All filesystem modules must be
166 recompiled.
167
168 20160916:
169 The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
170 generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
171 Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
172 needed. The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
173 option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
174 configurations.
175
176 A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged.
177 Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
178 is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
179 compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
180 pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS
181 pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj".
182 For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page.
183 Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
184 on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
185
186 20160906:
187 Add support for the MosChip MCS9904 four serial ports
188 controller.
189
190 Add support for walltimestamp in DTrace.
191
192 Various gdb improvments.
193
194 ZFS
195 Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O,
196 nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically
197 secure) of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
198 It also saves space if snapshots are in use.
199
200 It currently works only on datasets with enabled compression, disabled
201 deduplication and sha256 checksums.
202
203 Add loader(8) tunable to enable/disable nopwrite functionality:
204 vfs.zfs.nopwrite_enabled
205
206 Introduce a new dataset aclmode setting "restricted" to protect ACL's
207 being destroyed or corrupted by a drive-by chmod.
208
209 New loader-only tunables:
210 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_deferred_free
211 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_dont_compress
212 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_rewrite
213
214 chkgrp(8) add support for q flag
215
216 Fix problem with the Samsung 840 PRO series SSD detection.
217 The device reports support for SATA Asynchronous Notification in its
218 IDENTIFY data, but returns error on attempt to enable that feature.
219 Make SATA XPT of CAM only report these errors, but not fail the device.
220
221 20160905:
222 Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues
223 available to the user. Kqueue now saves the ucred of the
224 allocating thread, to correctly decrement the counter on close.
225 Based on FreeBSD SVN 256849
226
227 Import netcat from OpenBSD 5.2
228
229 20160904:
230 Introduced experimental TCP sysctls starting with
231 net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10
232
233 20160814:
234 switched default desktop port to midnightbsd-desktop. This gives us flexibility to change it
235 in the release after the fact.
236
237 tzdata 2016a
238
239 20160811:
240 libdispatch 210
241
242 Added quirks for several models of SSDs to enable advanced format/4k mode. List includes
243 Samsung 830, 840, 850 and 750 series, Intel x25 and a few Toshiba models. Also
244 added WD Red drives.
245
246 Updated list of pci device vendors.
247
248 Updated list of usb devices.
249
250 20160807:

252
253 20160806:
254 sqlite3 3.13.0
255
256 20160805:
257 Merged fixes for libmport that improve error handling when installing packages. Also
258 support mkdir -p like behavior for plist entries.
259
260 20160531:
261 Fix four security issues with MidnightBSD.
262
263 The implementation of TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
264 struct before sending to userland in the linux emulation layer.
265
266 The compat 43 stat(2) system call exposes kernel stack to userland.
267
268 libarchive - CVE-2015-2304 and CVE-2013-0211 fix issues with
269 cpio directory traversal and an integer signedness error in the archive
270 write zip data routine.
271
272
273 20160528:
274 Fixed minor issues with mined(1) and msearch(1).

278
279 Fix libpmc(3) build with clang compiler.
280
281 20160519:
282 Kernel Security updates
283
284 atkbd(4) - Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious
285 local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
286
287 Incorrect argument handling in sendmsg(2)
288
289 Incorrect argument handling in the socket code allows malicious local
290 user to overwrite large portion of the kernel memory.
291
292 20160505:
293 OpenSSL security patch
294
295 The padding check in AES-NI CBC MAC was rewritten to be in constant time
296 by making sure that always the same bytes are read and compared against
297 either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer checked that there was
298 enough data to have both the MAC and padding bytes. [CVE-2016-2107]
299
300 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
301 Base64 encoding of binary data. [CVE-2016-2105]
302
303 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function, however it is
304 believed that there can be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
305 [CVE-2016-2106]
306
307 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
308 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
309 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
310 [CVE-2016-2109]
311
312 20160412:
313 0.8 stable branch created. Continue development as 0.9.
314
315 Fix several issues with wait6 system call addition.
316
317 20160409:
318 libmport now supports two new plist formats:
319 @(root,wheel,4775) myfile
320 @dir(root,wheel,775) mydir
321
322 On delete, absoluate paths are now handled properly.
323
324 20160317:
325 OpenSSH doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
326
327 Fix a security issue with OpenSSH X11 forwarding that can allow an attacker
328 run shell commands on the call to xauth.
329
330 Incorrect argument validation in sysarch(2)
331
332 A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to
333 uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT. The start descriptor
334 is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided. Due to invalid
335 use of a signed intermediate value in the bounds checking during argument
336 validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent
337 memory can be initiated from usermode.
338
339 Patch obtained from FreeBSD.
340
341 20160229:
342 top now displays information on ZFS arc cache.
343
344 20160228:
345 llvm + clang 3.3 is now the default compiler in MidnightBSD.
346
347 20160222:
348 Introduce pipe2 to linux emulation layer.
349
350 20160114:
351 OpenSSL
352
353 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
354 if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
355 mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194]
356
357 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak
358 memory. [CVE-2015-3195]
359
360 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values
361 are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. [CVE-2015-3196]
362
363 Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
364
365 TCP MD5 signature denial of service
366
367 A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
368 and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
369
370 SCTP
371
372 A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack
373 can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer
374 dereference. In either case, a kernel panic will follow.
375
376 20160102:
377 Happy New Year
378
379 20151101:
380 Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
381
382 20151017:
383 Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
384 it in mport(1).
385
386 20151002:
387 Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
388
389 20150930:
390 In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
391 two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer. When one
392 of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
393 would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
394
395 20150926:
396 libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
397 to replace @exec and @unexec.
398
399 pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
400
401 post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
402 pkg message.
403
404 pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
405
406 post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
407
408 20150917:
409 Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
410
411 20150825:
412 kernel:
413 fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via
414 userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
415
416 openssh:
417 A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
418 service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
419 overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
420
421 A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
422 service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
423 compromised unprivileged child process.
424
425 A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
426 service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
427
428 20150818:
429 expat security fix
430
431 20150815:
432 libc changes:
433 setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
434 libc will compile without error using clang
435
436 20150814:
437 wait6 system call added.
438
439 date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
440 like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
441
442 20150811:
443 ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
444 Intel lynxpoint SATA.
445
446 Fix some const warnings when building several device drivers
447 with llvm/clang.
448
449 Sync cas(4) with FreeBSD 9-stable.
450
451 Fix some minor issues with ath(4).
452
453 20150809:
454 xz 5.0.8
455
456 20150808:
457 libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
458
459 20150805:
460 routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
461 the network can disrupt routing.
462
463 bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
464 to run.
465
466 20150802:
467 jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
468
469 20150728:
470 Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
471
472 OpenSSL 1.0.1o
473
474 cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
475
476 TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
477 There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
478 global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
479 queues into a per-VNET limit. Because mbufs are allocated from a
480 global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
481 total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
482 total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
483 traffic would cease.
484 Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
485
486 OpenSSH
487
488 Fix two security vulnerabilities:
489 OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
490 offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
491
492 OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
493 using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
494 MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
495
496
497 Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
498
499 20150726:
500 BSD Sort updated
501
502 sqlite 3.8.10.2
503
504 20150725:
505 Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.
506
507 The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
508 nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
509 calculation nmemb * size.
510
511 20150722:
512 Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
513 state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
514
515 20150715:
516 libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
517 a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
518 it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
519 .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
520 only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
521
522 20150709:
523 flex 2.5.39
524
525 20150702:
526 ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
527 with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
528
529 Verify it's working with
530 zfs get compressratio pool/path
531 du -h -s *
532
533 Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
534 changes. Existing files are not compressed.
535
536 Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
537 FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
538 and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
539 to ZFS.
540
541 20150621:
542 libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
543
544 The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
545 for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
546
547 20150618:
548 Sendmail
549
550 With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
551 sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
552
553 Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
554 match the server configuration.
555
556 ZFS
557
558 Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
559 ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
560
561 Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
562 first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
563 amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
564 to disable this behaviour.
565
566 ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
567 is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
568 via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
569
570 Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
571 under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.

573 rc.d
574
575 Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
576 implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
577

614 Fix two security vulnerabilities.
615
616 1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
617 are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
618 "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
619 unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
620 variable.
621
622 CVE-2015-1349
623
624 2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
625 in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
626
627 This can result in a DOS attack.
628
629 20141211:

650 20141021:
651 Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
652 and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
653 nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
654
655 The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
656 attempt to answer them. However, the output path assumes that the
657 destination address for the response is on a directly connected
658 network.
659
660 Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
661 a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
662 overflow in rtsold(8).

795 20130910:
796 Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
797
798 nullfs(5)
799
800 The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
801 check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
802 nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
803 location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
804 underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
805
806 ifioctl
807
808 As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
809 handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
810 passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
811 return an error code.
812
813 Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
814 SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
815 handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
816 validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer
817 actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
818 and resetting the underlying hardware.
819
820 20130824:
821 Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
822 handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
823 FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
824 will be included in the next release.
825
826 Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
827 binary. It has limited functionality, but can be used to
828 checkout/commit code. It is named svnlite.
829
830 20130822:
831 Fix two security vulnerabilities.
832
833 Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
834 This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
835
836 When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
837 a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.

922
923 pam: don't allow escape from policy path. Exploitable in KDE, etc.
924
925 Fix pam_ssh module:
926
927 If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
928 to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
929
930 This has to due with the way that openssl works. It ignores unencrpted data.
931
932 Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
933
934 nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
935 operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
936 hole in things like ftpd.
937

996
997 Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
998
999 20111015:
1000 Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
1001 to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
1002 process. Several new system calls were added to support this
1003 functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
1004 compatibility on amd64.
1005
1006 The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
1007 amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
1008 for this feature.
1009
1010 This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
1011
1012 20111004:
1013 Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
1014 patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
1015 apps to work under the linuxolator again.
1016
1017 20111001:
1018 Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
1019 now default and an environment variable must be set to use
1020 active.
1021
1022 20110930:
1023 Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
1024 USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
1025
1026 Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
1027 Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
1028 when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
1029 offloading.
1030
1031 Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
1032 working with large raid3 sets.
1033
1034 Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
1035
1036 20110929:
1037 Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
1038
1039 The following modules are no longer available, and should be
1040 removed from loader.conf:
1041 ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
1042
1043 alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
1044 required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
1045 a connection could be established. Disable hibernation.
1046
1047 20110928:
1048 Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
1049 files that are corrupted.
1050
1051 Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
1052
1053 20110917:

1063 20110806:
1064 sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
1065
1066 msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides
1067 a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used
1068 to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
1069 index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
1070 /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable
1071 space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
1072
1073 Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
1074 versions. This will be obsolete with mport though.
1075
1076 20110710:
1077 kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
1078 know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
1079
1080 Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
1081
1082 20110709:
1083 cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
1084 with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
1085
1086 20110612:
1087 Update mksh to R40
1088
1089 Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when
1090 updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
1091
1092 20110528:
1093 Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers.
1094
1095 20110526:
1096 newfs:
1097 Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
1098 16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
1099
1100 This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
1101 hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
1102 have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course
1103 the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
1104
1105 20110521:
1106 mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove
1107 all packages from a system.
1108
1109 A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
1110
1111 20110518:

1119
1120 cdevpriv wrappers added
1121
1122 nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
1123
1124 dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
1125
1126 20110308:
1127 Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system

1148 igb(4) and em(4). Newer devices use igb(4). The code has moved
1149 to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
1150 been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
1151
1152 Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.

1193 A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
1194 processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
1195 numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
1196
1197 20101120:
1198 Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
1199 systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
1200 to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
1201 our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
1202 which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
1203
1204 newfs and growfs was also modified.
1205
1206 20101110:
1207 Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
1208 context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file
1209 systems such as procfs for instance.
1210
1211 20101021:
1212 sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
1213 This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
1214 written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.

1220 MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created. Aggressive development continues here
1221 for 0.4.
1222
1223 20100902:
1224 Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
1225 login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
1226 the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
1227
1228 20100822:
1229 Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
1230
1231 20100814:
1232 libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in
1233 Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is
1234 licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
1235 it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
1236 may not like.
1237

1300
1301 posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and
1302 install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
1303 older current systems.
1304
1305 kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.

1356 Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
1357 can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
1358
1359 20090606:
1360 Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work
1361 as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
1362 in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck
1363 with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
1364
1365 I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
1366 fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
1367 system which makes no sense.
1368
1369 A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
1370 the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support
1371 but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on
1372 an external device.
1373
1374 20090520:
1375 The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
1376 compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new
1377 installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
1378 makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
1379 out my new Phenom too.
1380
1381 20090502:

1391
1392 The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
1393 of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
1394
1395 20090415:
1396 Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
1397
1398 Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
1399
1400 Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
1401 tools to fail.
1402
1403 20090405:
1404 xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
1405 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
1406 add
1407 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
1408 to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
1409 kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
1410
1411 20090403:
1412 mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
1413 buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back
1414 for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
1415 MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
1416 but we may change this later. This will allow further
1417 testing by users and developers of mksh without
1418 causing an unpleasant default experience. In the
1419 long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
1420
1421 20090328:
1422 Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
1423 and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
1424 as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with
1425 ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
1426 as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
1427 an optional build parameter.
1428
1429 ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
1430 the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
1431
1432 Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
1433 default for login and profile.
1434
1435 20090327:
1436 Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
1437
1438 Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
1439 to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
1440 on mports.
1441
1442 20090325:
1443 Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
1444

1451 20090115:
1452 Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
1453
1454 20090110:
1455 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
1456 certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be
1457 used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
1458
1459 Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
1460 affected.
1461
1462 Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd

1472 properly initialized.
1473
1474 Happy 2009.
1475
1476 20081206:
1477 Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
1478 we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was
1479 changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
1480 using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
1481
1482 The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider
1483 i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
1484
1485 mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
1486
1487 batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and
1488 runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output
1489 shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
1490 percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
1491 -c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more.
1492
1493 20081204:
1494 Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
1495 new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
1496 support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
1497 openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
1498 intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
1499
1500 Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
1501 data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means
1502 testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
1503 and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
1504 sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
1505
1506 20080905:
1507 update nve(4) to support new hardware.
1508
1509 20080801:

1515
1516 Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
1517
1518 The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
1519
1520 20080703:
1521 pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
1522 or posibly jails.
1523
1524 20080627:
1525 Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.

1534
1535 20080528:
1536 Sendmail 8.14.3
1537
1538 20080516:
1539 ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
1540 were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
1541 few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
1542 option.
1543
1544 The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
1545
1546 20080514:
1547 Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
1548 to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
1549 by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
1550 install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
1551 GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
1552
1553 System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
1554 on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
1555
1556 20080430:
1557 __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
1558 to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
1559
1560 20080429:
1561 Import bind 9.4.2 with threading

1609
1610 Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
1611 thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
1612
1613 Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
1614 I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
1615 My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
1616
1617 20080306:
1618 Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
1619 Developers can now use it to check src builds.

1647 so multiple servers are used.
1648
1649 Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.
1650
1651 20080121:
1652 Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
1653 according to a VM present. VMWare and Parallels
1654 should work better like this.
1655
1656 Change to full x11 install in sysinstall. Add
1657 xorg 7 support.
1658
1659 20080115:

1685 mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
1686
1687 Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
1688 with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
1689 or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
1690 ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
1691 change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
1692 enabled by default.
1693
1694 20070814:
1695 Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
1696 for awhile.
1697
1698 20070806:
1699 Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
1700
1701 20070804:
1702 BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
1703
1704 We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
1705
1706 20070719:
1707 Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
1708
1709 20070716:
1710 Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
1711
1712 20070410:
1713 cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
1714 cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
1715 most of their local changes.
1716
1717 20070409:
1718 RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
1719 continue here.
1720
1721 20070406:
1722 Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
1723 with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
1724 curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
1725 multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
1726 work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
1727 patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
1728
1729 It is more important to have a stable system for our
1730 mport work and other projects at this time.
1731
1732 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
1733 have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
1734 or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
1735 make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
1736 of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
1737 /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
1738 your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
1739 mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
1740 chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
1741 them.
1742
1743 You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
1744 this from libc.
1745
1746 You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
1747 installed.
1748
1749 20070401:
1750 Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
1751 provide us with much greater security and stability in the
1752 long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
1753 follow the these instructions:
1754
1755 cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
1756 cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
1757 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
1758 cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
1759 buildworld and kernel
1760
1761 It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
1762 prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
1763 or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
1764 and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
1765 fix.
1766
1767 20070314:
1768 Remove send-pr from src.
1769
1770 Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
1771
1772 Bump MBSD minor revision.
1773
1774 20070313:
1775 Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
1776
1777 Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
1778
1779 Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
1780 the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
1781
1782 20070312:
1783 Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
1784 BSD Daemon files from src/share.
1785
1786 20070308:
1787 Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
1788 the Dell perc5i.
1789
1790 20070206:
1791 Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
1792 /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
1793
1794 Those who install from a snapshot after this date
1795 will not be effected.
1796
1797 20070119:
1798 Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
1799 before installing world.
1800
1801 hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
1802
1803 An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
1804 unbreak world.
1805
1806 wpa_supplicant was updated.
1807
1808 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
1809 sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
1810 fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
1811 2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
1812 will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
1813
1814 20061231:
1815 Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
1816
1817 Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
1818
1819 Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
1820 synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
1821 to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
1822 Feb 26, 2006.
1823
1824 Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
1825 dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
1826 /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
1827
1828 Numerous man page and bug fixes.
1829
1830 20061226:
1831 Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
1832 MidnightBSD CVSup server.
1833
1834 Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
1835 erasing CDRW media.
1836
1837 Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
1838 in C.
1839
1840 Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
1841
1842 Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
1843 geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
1844
1845 20061225:
1846 Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
1847 that caused long double to long and long long
1848 conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
1849
1850 20061221:
1851 Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
1852 batteries are present.
1853
1854 Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
1855 RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
1856
1857 Corrected a bug with TTY.
1858
1859 20061218:
1860 Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
1861 threads don't get scheduled.
1862
1863 20061206:
1864 Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
1865
1866 20061129:
1867 Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
1868
1869 Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
1870 FreeBSD.
1871
1872 20061031:
1873 Updated man pages in section 7.
1874
1875 20061030:
1876 Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
1877 r300 cards properly.
1878
1879 Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
1880
1881 Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
1882
1883 20061027:
1884 Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
1885 random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
1886 to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
1887 commited.
1888
1889 lukemftpd updated.
1890
1891 openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
1892 seeding.
1893
1894 20061014:
1895 Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
1896
1897 Started removal of alpha support.
1898
1899 20061013:
1900 ATA driver was updated. USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
1901
1902 20061010:
1903 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
1904
1905 20060909:
1906 OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
1907 the old ntpd daemon.
1908
1909 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
1910 on a per line basis.
1911
1912 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
1913 keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
1914 improved with this patch.
1915
1916 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
1917 increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
1918
1919 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
1920
1921 Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
1922
1923 20060817:
1924 ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
1925 the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
1926
1927
1928
1929 To build a kernel
1930 -----------------
1931 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
1932 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
1933 /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
1934 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1935 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1936
1937 To test a kernel once
1938 ---------------------
1939 If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
1940 if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
1941 debugging information) run
1942 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
1943 nextboot -k testkernel
1944
1945 To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1946 --------------------------------------------------------------
1947 This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
1948 ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1949 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
1950
1951 cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
1952 config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1953 cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1954 make depend
1955 make
1956 make install
1957
1958 If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
1959
1960 To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
1961 -----------------------------------------------------------
1962 # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
1963 # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
1964
1965 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1966 make buildworld
1967 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1968 [1]
1969 <reboot in single user> [3]
1970 mergemaster -p [5]
1971 make installworld
1972 make delete-old
1973 mergemaster [4]
1974 <reboot>
1975
1976
1977 To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1978 --------------------------------------------------
1979 # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1980 # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
1981 # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
1982 # size.
1983
1984 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1985 <boot into -stable>
1986 make buildworld
1987 make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1988 <maybe newfs current's root partition>
1989 <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
1990 make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
1991 cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
1992 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
1993 cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
1994 <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
1995 <reboot into current>
1996 <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
1997 <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
1998 <reboot>
1999
2000
2001 To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
2002 -----------------------------------------------------------
2003 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
2004 make buildworld [9]
2005 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
2006 [1]
2007 <reboot in single user> [3]
2008 mergemaster -p [5]
2009 make installworld
2010 make delete-old
2011 mergemaster -i [4]
2012 <reboot>
2013
2014 Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
2015 tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
2016 cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
2017 to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
2018 the UPDATING entries.
2019
2020 Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
2021 freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
2022 your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
2023 messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
2024 much fewer pitfalls.
2025
2026 [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
2027 should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
2028 system on reboot.
2029
2030 [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
2031 fsck -p
2032 mount -u /
2033 mount -a
2034 cd src
2035 adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
2036 Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
2037 you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
2038
2039 [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
2040 can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
2041 system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
2042 that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2043 as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
2044 for potential gotchas.
2045
2046 [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
2047 you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
2048 step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
2049
2050 [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
2051 needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2052 option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
2053 that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2054 is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
2055
2056 Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
2057 last time you updated your kernel config file.
2058
2059 [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
2060 cvs prune empty directories.
2061
2062 If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2063 "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2064 override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2065
2066 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2067 not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
2068 warn if it is improperly defined.
