25 +
26 + 20161103:
27 +        OpenSSL security patch
28 +
29 +        Due to improper handling of alert packets, OpenSSL would consume an excessive
30 +        amount of CPU time processing undefined alert messages.
31 +
32 + 20161015:
33 +        libarchive 3.2.1
34 +
35 +        xz 5.2.2
36 +
37 + 20161013:
38 +        Sync ZFS code with Illuminos/FreeBSD 9.2. Added support for
39 +        feature flags, pool version 5000. This also includes some
40 +        bug fixes and performance optimizations.
41 +
42 + 20160925:
43 +        Import NetBSD vis(3) and unvis(3) as well as mtree.

54 +
55 +        UFS file systems can now be resized in read-write mode due to the new
56 +        write suspension feature.
57 +
58 +        Basic support added for Intel Raid Recover Technology.
59 +
60 +        GMIRROR & GRAID3 now mark volumes clean on shutdown earlier to help with ZFS issues.
61 +
62 +        Highpoint hpt27xx now in GENERIC kernel.
63 +
64 + 20160923:
65 +        Security update for OpenSSL
66 +
67 +        A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension.
68 +        If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status
69 +        Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the
70 +        server. [CVE-2016-6304]
71 +
72 +        An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or through
73 +        the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker is able to supply
74 +        very large amounts of input data after a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate()
75 +        with a partial block then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
76 +        corruption. [CVE-2016-6303]
77 +
78 +        If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
79 +        DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
80 +        ultimately crash. [CVE-2016-6302]
81 +
82 +        The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
83 +        This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
84 +        overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
85 +        or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
86 +        record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
87 +        [CVE-2016-2182]
88 +
89 +        The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
90 +        the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
91 +        of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are presented.
92 +        [CVE-2016-2180]
93 +
94 +        Some calculations of limits in OpenSSL have used undefined pointer arithmetic.
95 +        This could cause problems with some malloc implementations. [CVE-2016-2177]
96 +
97 +        Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in order to
98 +        avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA implementation means that
99 +        a non-constant time codepath is followed for certain operations. [CVE-2016-2178]
100 +
101 +        In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order those
102 +        messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered for later
103 +        use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages
104 +        do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has been completed.
105 +        An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to remain in the buffer when
106 +        they are no longer required. These messages will be cleared when the DTLS
107 +        connection is closed. The default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore
108 +        the attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per connection.
109 +        [CVE-2016-2179]
110 +
111 +        A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records that
112 +        arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before the MAC
113 +        for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by
114 +        sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have a
115 +        valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that all subsequent
116 +        legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of service for a specific
117 +        DTLS connection. [CVE-2016-2181]
118 +
119 +        In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result in
120 +        OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a theoretical
121 +        DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common platforms.
122 +        [CVE-2016-6306]
123 +
124 + 20160918:
125 +        With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
126 +        depended on during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
127 +        the user prior to installworld.
128 +
129 +        The VFS KBI was changed with the merge of several nullfs
130 +        optimizations and fixes.  All filesystem modules must be
131 +        recompiled.
132 +
133 + 20160916:
134 +        The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
135 +        generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
136 +        Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
137 +        needed.  The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
138 +        option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
139 +        configurations.
140 +
141 +        A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged.
142 +        Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
143 +        is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
144 +        compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
145 +        pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS
146 +        pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj".
147 +        For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page.
148 +        Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
149 +        on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
150 +
151 + 20160906:
152 +        Add support for the MosChip MCS9904 four serial ports
153 +        controller.
154 +
155 +        Add support for walltimestamp in DTrace.
156 +
157 +        Various gdb improvments.
158 +
159 +        ZFS
160 +        Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O,
161 +        nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically
162 +        secure) of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
163 +        It also saves space if snapshots are in use.
164 +
165 +        It currently works only on datasets with enabled compression, disabled
166 +        deduplication and sha256 checksums.
167 +
168 +        Add loader(8) tunable to enable/disable nopwrite functionality:
169 +        vfs.zfs.nopwrite_enabled
170 +
171 +        Introduce a new dataset aclmode setting "restricted" to protect ACL's
172 +        being destroyed or corrupted by a drive-by chmod.
173 +
174 +        New loader-only tunables:
175 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_deferred_free
176 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_dont_compress
177 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_rewrite
178 +
179 +        chkgrp(8) add support for q flag
180 +
181 +        Fix problem with the Samsung 840 PRO series SSD detection.
182 +        The device reports support for SATA Asynchronous Notification in its
183 +        IDENTIFY data, but returns error on attempt to enable that feature.
184 +        Make SATA XPT of CAM only report these errors, but not fail the device.
185 +
186 + 20160905:
187 +        Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues
188 +        available to the user. Kqueue now saves the ucred of the
189 +        allocating thread, to correctly decrement the counter on close.
190 +        Based on FreeBSD SVN 256849
191 +
192 +        Import netcat from OpenBSD 5.2
193 +
194 + 20160904:
195 +        Introduced experimental TCP sysctls starting with
196 +        net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10
197 +
198 + 20160814:
199 +        switched default desktop port to midnightbsd-desktop. This gives us flexibility to change it
200 +        in the release after the fact.
201 +
202 +        tzdata 2016a
203 +
204 + 20160811:
205 +        libdispatch 210
206 +
207 +        Added quirks for several models of SSDs to enable advanced format/4k mode. List includes
208 +        Samsung 830, 840, 850 and 750 series, Intel x25 and a few Toshiba models. Also
209 +        added WD Red drives.
210 +
211 +        Updated list of pci device vendors.
212 +
213 +        Updated list of usb devices.
214 +
215 + 20160807:
216 +        Implement several changes to libmport to fix some memory corruption issues.
217 +
218 + 20160806:
219 +        sqlite3 3.13.0
220 +
221 + 20160805:
222 +        Merged fixes for libmport that improve error handling when installing packages. Also
223 +        support mkdir -p like behavior for plist entries.
224 +
225 + 20160531:
226 +        Fix four security issues with MidnightBSD.
227 +
228 +        The implementation of TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
229 +        struct before sending to userland in the linux emulation layer.
230 +
231 +        The compat 43 stat(2) system call exposes kernel stack to userland.
232 +
233 +        libarchive - CVE-2015-2304 and CVE-2013-0211 fix issues with
234 +        cpio directory traversal and an integer signedness error in the archive
235 +        write zip data routine.
236 +
237 +
238 + 20160528:
239 +        Fixed minor issues with mined(1) and msearch(1).
240 +
241 + 20160526:
242 +        Add support for Ivybridge and Haswell Intel CPUs to hwpmc(4).
243 +
244 +        Fix libpmc(3) build with clang compiler.
245 +
246 + 20160519:
247 +        Kernel Security updates
248 +
249 +        atkbd(4) - Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious
250 +        local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
251 +
252 +        Incorrect argument handling in sendmsg(2)
253 +
254 +        Incorrect argument handling in the socket code allows malicious local
255 +        user to overwrite large portion of the kernel memory.
256 +
257 + 20160505:
258 +        OpenSSL security patch
259 +
260 +        The padding check in AES-NI CBC MAC was rewritten to be in constant time
261 +        by making sure that always the same bytes are read and compared against
262 +        either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer checked that there was
263 +        enough data to have both the MAC and padding bytes. [CVE-2016-2107]
264 +
265 +        An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
266 +        Base64 encoding of binary data. [CVE-2016-2105]
267 +
268 +        An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function, however it is
269 +        believed that there can be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
270 +        [CVE-2016-2106]
271 +
272 +        When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
273 +        a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
274 +        potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
275 +        [CVE-2016-2109]
276 +
277 + 20160412:
278 +        0.8 stable branch created. Continue development as 0.9.
279 +
280 +        Fix several issues with wait6 system call addition.
281 +
282 + 20160409:
283 +        libmport now supports two new plist formats:
284 +        @(root,wheel,4775) myfile
285 +        @dir(root,wheel,775) mydir
286 +
287 +        On delete, absoluate paths are now handled properly.
288 +
289 + 20160317:
290 +        OpenSSH doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
291 +
292 +        Fix a security issue with OpenSSH X11 forwarding that can allow an attacker
293 +        run shell commands on the call to xauth.
294 +
295 +        Incorrect argument validation in sysarch(2)
296 +
297 +        A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to
298 +        uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT.  The start descriptor
299 +        is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided.  Due to invalid
300 +        use of a signed intermediate value in the bounds checking during argument
301 +        validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent
302 +        memory can be initiated from usermode.
303 +
304 +        Patch obtained from FreeBSD.
305 +
306 + 20160229:
307 +        top now displays information on ZFS arc cache.
308 +
309 + 20160228:
310 +        llvm + clang 3.3 is now the default compiler in MidnightBSD.
311 +
312 + 20160222:
313 +        Introduce pipe2 to linux emulation layer.
314 +
315 + 20160114:
316 +        OpenSSL
317 +
318 +        The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
319 +        if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
320 +        mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194]
321 +
322 +        When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak
323 +        memory. [CVE-2015-3195]
324 +
325 +        If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values
326 +        are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure.  [CVE-2015-3196]
327 +
328 +        Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
329 +
330 +        TCP MD5 signature denial of service
331 +
332 +        A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
333 +        and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
334 +
335 +        SCTP
336 +
337 +        A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack
338 +        can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer
339 +        dereference.  In either case, a kernel panic will follow.
340 +
341 + 20160102:
342 +        Happy New Year
343 +
344 + 20151101:
345 +        Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
346 +
347 + 20151017:
348 +        Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
349 +        it in mport(1).
350 +
351 + 20151002:
352 +        Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
353 +
354 + 20150930:
355 +        In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
356 +        two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer.  When one
357 +        of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
358 +        would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
359 +
360 + 20150926:
361 +        libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
362 +        to replace @exec and @unexec.  
363 +
364 +        pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
365 +
366 +        post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
367 +        pkg message.
368 +
369 +        pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
370 +
371 +        post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
372 +
373   20150917:
374          Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
