# Line 1 | Line 1
1   Updating Information for MidnightBSD users.
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.
