2  
3 + 20150917:
4 +        Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
5 +
6 + 20150825:
7 +        kernel:
8 +        fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via
9 +        userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
10 +
11 +        openssh:
12 +        A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
13 +        service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
14 +        overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
15 +
16 +        A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
17 +        service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
18 +        compromised unprivileged child process.
19 +
20 +        A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
21 +        service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
22 +
23 + 20150818:
24 +        expat security fix
25 +
26 + 20150815:
27 +        libc changes:
28 +        setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
29 +        libc will compile without error using clang
30 +
31 + 20150814:
32 +        wait6 system call added.
33 +
34 +        date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
35 +        like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
36 +
37 + 20150811:
38 +        ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
39 +        Intel lynxpoint SATA.
40 +
41 +        Fix some const warnings when building several device drivers
42 +        with llvm/clang.
43 +
44 +        Sync cas(4) with FreeBSD 9-stable.
45 +
46 +        Fix some minor issues with ath(4).
47 +
48 + 20150809:
49 +        xz 5.0.8
50 +
51 + 20150808:
52 +        libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
53 +
54 + 20150805:
55 +        routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
56 +        the network can disrupt routing.
57 +
58 +        bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
59 +        to run.
60 +
61 + 20150802:
62 +        jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
63 +
64 + 20150728:
65 +        Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
66 +
67 +        OpenSSL 1.0.1o
68 +
69 +        cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
70 +
71 +        TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
72 +        There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
73 +        global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
74 +        queues into a per-VNET limit.  Because mbufs are allocated from a
75 +        global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
76 +        total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
77 +        total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
78 +        traffic would cease.
79 +        Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
80 +
81 +        OpenSSH
82 +
83 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
84 +        OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
85 +        offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
86 +
87 +        OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
88 +        using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
89 +        MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
90 +
91 +
92 +        Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
93 +
94 + 20150726:
95 +        BSD Sort updated
96 +
97 +        sqlite 3.8.10.2
98 +
99 + 20150725:
100 +        Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.  
101 +
102 +        The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
103 +        nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
104 +        calculation nmemb * size.
105 +
106 + 20150722:
107 +        Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
108 +        state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
109 +
110 + 20150715:
111 +        libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
112 +        a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
113 +        it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
114 +        .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
115 +        only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
116 +
117 + 20150709:
118 +        flex 2.5.39
119 +
120 + 20150702:
121 +        ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
122 +        with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
123 +
124 +        Verify it's working with
125 +        zfs get compressratio pool/path
126 +        du -h -s *
127 +
128 +        Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
129 +        changes. Existing files are not compressed.
130 +
131 +        Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
132 +        FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
133 +        and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
134 +        to ZFS.
135 +
136 + 20150621:
137 +        libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
138 +
139 +        The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
140 +        for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
141 +
142 + 20150618:
143 +        Sendmail
144 +
145 +        With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
146 +        sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
147 +
148 +        Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
149 +        match the server configuration.
150 +
151 +        ZFS
152 +
153 +        Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
154 +        ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
155 +
156 +        Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
157 +        first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
158 +        amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
159 +        to disable this behaviour.
160 +
161 +        ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
162 +        is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
163 +        via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
164 +
165 +        Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
166 +        under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
167 +
168 +        rc.d
169 +
170 +        Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
171 +        implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
172 +
173 +        Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.
174 +
175 + 20150613:
176 +        tzdata 2015d
177 +
178 + 20150612:
179 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zg
180 +
181 + 20150419:
182 +        MidnightBSD 0.6 stable branch created. Continue 0.7
183 +        development.
184 +
185 + 20150418:
186 +        sqlite 3.8.9
187 +
188 + 20150407:
189 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
190 +
191 +        The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected.
192 +
193 +        ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a
194 +        suggested Current Hop Limit value of a link, which will replace
195 +        Current Hop Limit on an interface connected to the link on the MidnightBSD
196 +        system.
197 +
198 + 20150319:
199 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8.zf
200 +
201 +        mksh R50e
202 +
203 +        Apple mDNSResponder 561.1.1
204 +
205 + 20150306:
206 +        Upgrade OpenSSL to 0.9.8ze
207 +
208 + 20150225:
209 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
210 +
211 +        1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
212 +        are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
213 +        "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
214 +        unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
215 +        variable.
216 +
217 +        CVE-2015-1349
218 +
219 +        2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
220 +        in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
221 +
222 +        This can result in a DOS attack.
223 +
224 + 20141211:
225 +        Fix a security issue with file and libmagic that can allow
226 +        an attacker to create a denial of service attack on any
227 +        program that uses libmagic.
228 +
229 + 20141109:
230 +        Fix building perl during buildworld when the GDBM port is installed.
231 +
232 + 20141106:
233 +        tzdata 2014i
234 +
235 + 20141102:
236 +        serf 1.3.8
237 +
238 + 20141031:
239 +        tnftp 20141031 fixes a security vulnerability with tnftp,
240 +        CVE-2014-8517.
241 +
242 + 20141028:
243 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zc
244 +
245 + 20141021:
246 +        Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
247 +        and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
248 +        nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
249 +
250 +        The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
251 +        attempt to answer them.  However, the output path assumes that the
252 +        destination address for the response is on a directly connected
253 +        network.
254 +
255 +        Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
256 +        a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
257 +        overflow in rtsold(8).
258 +
259 + 20141011:
260 +        mksh R50d - fix field splitting regression and null
261 +        pointer dereference
262 +
263 +        xz 5.0.7
264 +
265 +        OpenSSH 6.6p1
266 +
267 + 20141004:
268 +        mksh R50c - security update for environment var bug with
269 +        foo vs foo+    
270 +
271 + 20141002:
272 +        sqlite 3.8.6
273 +
274 +        sudo 1.7.8 - some issues with the current version, but we're slowly
275 +        getting up to date.
276 +
277 + 20141001:
278 +        mksh R50b
279 +
280 +        libmport now supports plist commands @dir, @owner, @group, @mode.
281 +
282 +        sudo 1.7.6p2
283 +
284 + 20140916:
285 +        Fix a security issue with TCP SYN.
286 +
287 +        When a segment with the SYN flag for an already existing connection arrives,
288 +        the TCP stack tears down the connection, bypassing a check that the
289 +        sequence number in the segment is in the expected window.
290 +
291 + 20140909:
292 +        Fixed a bug with our clearenv(3) implementation that caused segfaults
293 +        with some programs including Dovecot.
294 +
295 +        OpenSSL security patch:
296 +
297 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS handshake message may cause OpenSSL
298 +        to consume large amounts of memory. [CVE-2014-3506]
299 +
300 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS packet could cause OpenSSL to leak
301 +        memory. [CVE-2014-3507]
302 +
303 +        A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
304 +        X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
305 +        the stack. [CVE-2014-3508]
306 +
307 +        OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject to
308 +        a denial of service attack. [CVE-2014-3510]
309 +
310 + 20140902:
311 +        We're now 0.6-CURRENT
312 +
313 +        Update USB quirks to support K70 Corsair keyboard, and several
314 +        other devices.
315 +
316 + 20140827:
317 +        Perl 5.18.2
318 +
319 + 20140728:
320 +        Jails now run shutdown scripts.
321 +
322 + 20140710:
323 +        Fix a vulnerability in the control message API. A buffer is not properly cleared
324 +        before sharing with userland.
325 +
326 + 20140701:
327 +        MKSH R50
328 +
329 + 20140630:
330 +        File 5.19
331 +
332 + 20140605:
333 +        Fix four security issues with OpenSSL
334 +
335 + 20140604:
336 +        Sendmail failed to properly set close-on-exec for open file descriptors.
337 +
338 +        ktrace page fault kernel trace entries were set to an incorrect size which resulted
339 +        in a leak of information.
340 +
341 + 20140430:
342 +        Fix a TCP reassembly bug that could result in a DOS attack
343 +        of the system. It may be possible to obtain portions
344 +        of kernel memory as well.
345 +
346 + 20140411:
347 +        Update zlib to 1.2.7
348 +
349 + 20140122:
350 +        Support for username with length 32. Previous limit was 16
351 +
352 + 20140114:
353 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
354 +
355 +        bsnmpd contains a stack overflow when sent certain queries.
356 +
357 +        bind 9.8 when using NSEC3-signed zones zones, will crash with special
358 +        crafted packets.
359 +
360 + 20131228:
361 +        Imported FreeBSD 9.2 usb stack (plus z87 patches from stable)
362 +
363 +        Updated em(4), igb(4) and ixgbe(4)
364 +
365 +        MidnightBSD now works with Z87 Intel chipsets.
366 +
367 + 20131207:
368 +        Remove sparc64 architecture. It hasn't been working for awhile
369 +        and it's not useful for desktops anymore.
370 +
371 + 20131205:
372 +        OpenSSH 6.4p1
373 +
374 + 20131203:
375 +        Perl 5.18.1 imported.
376 +
377 +        Update less to v458
378 +
379 + 20131130:
380 +        Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for
381 +        now until replacements can be found.
382 +
383 + 20131004:
384 +        rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD)
385 +
386 + 20130917:
387 +        Support for 65,536 routing tables was added.  A new fib specific
388 +        field has been added to mbuf.  This is an increase from 16.
389 +
390 + 20130910:
391 +        Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
392 +
393 +        nullfs(5)
394 +
395 +        The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
396 +        check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
397 +        nullfs instance.  It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
398 +        location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
399 +        underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
400 +
401 +        ifioctl
402 +
403 +        As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
404 +        handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
405 +        passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
406 +        return an error code.
407 +
408 +        Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
409 +        SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
410 +        handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
411 +        validation or verify the caller's credentials.  Typical link-layer
412 +        actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
413 +        and resetting the underlying hardware.
414 +
415 + 20130824:
416 +        Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
417 +        handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
418 +        FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
419 +        will be included in the next release.
420 +
421 +        Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
422 +        binary.  It has limited functionality, but can be used to
423 +        checkout/commit code.  It is named svnlite.
424 +
425 + 20130822:
426 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
427 +
428 +        Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
429 +        This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
430 +
431 +        When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
432 +        a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.
433 +
434 +        Import xz 5.0.4
435 +
436 +        Import sqlite 3.7.17
437 +
438 +        Import BIND 9.8.5-P2

446 +        libmport bug was fixed causing hash verification to fail.
447 +
448 +        virtio(4) imported from FreeBSD 9-stable. SCSI support not
449 +        included.
450 +
451 + 20130612:
452 +        RELENG_0_4 created for 0.4. Development continues on 0.5.
453 +
454 + 20130402:
455 +        Update BIND and OpenSSL to resolve security advisories.
456 +
457 + 20130305:
458 +        MKSH R44 imported.
459 +
460 + 20130213:

475 +
476 + 20120710:
477 +        BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT
478 +
479 +        For now, GNU sort is installed as gnusort, but it will
480 +        go away in time.
481 +
482 + 20120708:
483 +        tcsh 6.18.01 imported.
484 +

487 +        libc gains strnlen(3), memrchr(3), stpncpy(3).
488 +
489 + 20120612:
490 +        BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667.
491 +
492 +        Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting
493 +        in a DOS attack or information disclosure.
494 +
495 + 20120407:
496 +        mksh R40f (fixes regression)
497 +
498 + 20120328:
499 +        mksh R40e
500 +
501 +        Perl 5.14.2
502 +
503 + 20120229:
504 +        cpucontrol(8) and cpuctl(4) added from FreeBSD 7-stable.

506 + 20120209:
507 +        mDNSResponder 333.10 imported
508 +
509 + 20111227:
510 +        import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8)
511 +
512 +        This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel
513 +        memory.
514 +
515 + 20111223:
516 +        telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked
517 +
518 +        pam: don't allow escape from policy path.  Exploitable in KDE, etc.
519 +
520 +        Fix pam_ssh module:
521 +
522 +        If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
523 +        to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
524 +
525 +        This has to due with the way that openssl works.  It ignores unencrpted data.
526 +
527 +        Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
528 +
529 +        nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
530 +        operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
531 +        hole in things like ftpd.
532 +
533 + 20111217:
534 +        libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
535 +        backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
536 +
537 + 20111212:
538 +        mksh r40d imported
539 +
540 + 20111210:

545 +        MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
546 +        setup in boot loader and GEOM.
547 +
548 +        amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
549 +        8xx series chipset.
550 +
551 + 20111207:
552 +        import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
553 +
554 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
555 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
556 +
557 + 20111122:

579 + 20111019:
580 +        awk 20110810 imported
581 +
582 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
583 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
584 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
585 +
586 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
587 +        specific CPU core.
588 +
589 + 20111017:
590 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
591 +
592 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
593 +
594 + 20111015:
595 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
596 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
597 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
598 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
599 +        compatibility on amd64.
600 +
601 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
602 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
603 +        for this feature.
604 +
605 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
606 +
607 + 20111004:
608 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
609 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
610 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
611 +
612   20111001:
613          Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
614          now default and an environment variable must be set to use
