73 +
74 +        GMIRROR & GRAID3 now mark volumes clean on shutdown earlier to help with ZFS issues.
75 +
76 +        Highpoint hpt27xx now in GENERIC kernel.
77 +
78 + 20160923:
79 +        Security update for OpenSSL
80 +
81 +        A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension.
82 +        If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status
83 +        Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the
84 +        server. [CVE-2016-6304]
85 +
86 +        An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or through
87 +        the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker is able to supply
88 +        very large amounts of input data after a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate()
89 +        with a partial block then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
90 +        corruption. [CVE-2016-6303]
91 +
92 +        If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
93 +        DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
94 +        ultimately crash. [CVE-2016-6302]
95 +
96 +        The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
97 +        This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
98 +        overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
99 +        or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
100 +        record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
101 +        [CVE-2016-2182]
102 +
103 +        The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
104 +        the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
105 +        of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are presented.
106 +        [CVE-2016-2180]
107 +
108 +        Some calculations of limits in OpenSSL have used undefined pointer arithmetic.
109 +        This could cause problems with some malloc implementations. [CVE-2016-2177]
110 +
111 +        Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in order to
112 +        avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA implementation means that
113 +        a non-constant time codepath is followed for certain operations. [CVE-2016-2178]
114 +
115 +        In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order those
116 +        messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered for later
117 +        use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages
118 +        do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has been completed.
119 +        An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to remain in the buffer when
120 +        they are no longer required. These messages will be cleared when the DTLS
121 +        connection is closed. The default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore
122 +        the attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per connection.
123 +        [CVE-2016-2179]
124 +
125 +        A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records that
126 +        arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before the MAC
127 +        for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by
128 +        sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have a
129 +        valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that all subsequent
130 +        legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of service for a specific
131 +        DTLS connection. [CVE-2016-2181]
132 +
133 +        In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result in
134 +        OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a theoretical
135 +        DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common platforms.
136 +        [CVE-2016-6306]
137 +
138 + 20160918:
139 +        With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
140 +        depended on during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
141 +        the user prior to installworld.
142 +
143 +        The VFS KBI was changed with the merge of several nullfs
144 +        optimizations and fixes.  All filesystem modules must be
145 +        recompiled.
146 +
147 + 20160916:
148 +        The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
149 +        generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
150 +        Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
151 +        needed.  The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
152 +        option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
153 +        configurations.
154 +
155 +        A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged.
156 +        Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
157 +        is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
158 +        compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
159 +        pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS
160 +        pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj".
161 +        For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page.
162 +        Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
163 +        on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
164 +
165 + 20160906:
166 +        Add support for the MosChip MCS9904 four serial ports
167 +        controller.
168 +
169 +        Add support for walltimestamp in DTrace.
170 +
171 +        Various gdb improvments.
172 +
173 +        ZFS
174 +        Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O,
175 +        nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically
176 +        secure) of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
177 +        It also saves space if snapshots are in use.
178 +
179 +        It currently works only on datasets with enabled compression, disabled
180 +        deduplication and sha256 checksums.
181 +
182 +        Add loader(8) tunable to enable/disable nopwrite functionality:
183 +        vfs.zfs.nopwrite_enabled
184 +
185 +        Introduce a new dataset aclmode setting "restricted" to protect ACL's
186 +        being destroyed or corrupted by a drive-by chmod.
187 +
188 +        New loader-only tunables:
189 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_deferred_free
190 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_dont_compress
191 +        vfs.zfs.sync_pass_rewrite
192 +
193 +        chkgrp(8) add support for q flag
194 +
195 +        Fix problem with the Samsung 840 PRO series SSD detection.
196 +        The device reports support for SATA Asynchronous Notification in its
197 +        IDENTIFY data, but returns error on attempt to enable that feature.
198 +        Make SATA XPT of CAM only report these errors, but not fail the device.
199 +
200 + 20160905:
201 +        Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues
202 +        available to the user. Kqueue now saves the ucred of the
203 +        allocating thread, to correctly decrement the counter on close.
204 +        Based on FreeBSD SVN 256849
205 +
206 +        Import netcat from OpenBSD 5.2
207 +
208 + 20160904:
209 +        Introduced experimental TCP sysctls starting with
210 +        net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10
211 +
212 + 20160814:
213 +        switched default desktop port to midnightbsd-desktop. This gives us flexibility to change it
214 +        in the release after the fact.
215 +
216 +        tzdata 2016a
217 +
218 + 20160811:
219 +        libdispatch 210
220 +
221 +        Added quirks for several models of SSDs to enable advanced format/4k mode. List includes
222 +        Samsung 830, 840, 850 and 750 series, Intel x25 and a few Toshiba models. Also
223 +        added WD Red drives.
224 +
225 +        Updated list of pci device vendors.
226 +
227 +        Updated list of usb devices.
228 +
229 + 20160807:
230 +        Implement several changes to libmport to fix some memory corruption issues.
231 +
232 + 20160806:
233 +        sqlite3 3.13.0
234 +
235 + 20160805:
236 +        Merged fixes for libmport that improve error handling when installing packages. Also
237 +        support mkdir -p like behavior for plist entries.
238 +
239 + 20160531:
240 +        Fix four security issues with MidnightBSD.
241 +
242 +        The implementation of TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
243 +        struct before sending to userland in the linux emulation layer.
244 +
245 +        The compat 43 stat(2) system call exposes kernel stack to userland.
246 +
247 +        libarchive - CVE-2015-2304 and CVE-2013-0211 fix issues with
248 +        cpio directory traversal and an integer signedness error in the archive
249 +        write zip data routine.
250 +
251 +
252 + 20160528:
253 +        Fixed minor issues with mined(1) and msearch(1).
254 +
255 + 20160526:
256 +        Add support for Ivybridge and Haswell Intel CPUs to hwpmc(4).
257 +
258 +        Fix libpmc(3) build with clang compiler.
259 +
260 + 20160519:
261 +        Kernel Security updates
262 +
263 +        atkbd(4) - Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious
264 +        local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
265 +
266 +        Incorrect argument handling in sendmsg(2)
267 +
268 +        Incorrect argument handling in the socket code allows malicious local
269 +        user to overwrite large portion of the kernel memory.
270 +
271 + 20160505:
272 +        OpenSSL security patch
273 +
274 +        The padding check in AES-NI CBC MAC was rewritten to be in constant time
275 +        by making sure that always the same bytes are read and compared against
276 +        either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer checked that there was
277 +        enough data to have both the MAC and padding bytes. [CVE-2016-2107]
278 +
279 +        An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
280 +        Base64 encoding of binary data. [CVE-2016-2105]
281 +
282 +        An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function, however it is
283 +        believed that there can be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
284 +        [CVE-2016-2106]
285 +
286 +        When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
287 +        a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
288 +        potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
289 +        [CVE-2016-2109]
290 +
291 + 20160412:
292 +        0.8 stable branch created. Continue development as 0.9.
293 +
294 +        Fix several issues with wait6 system call addition.
295 +
296 + 20160409:
297 +        libmport now supports two new plist formats:
298 +        @(root,wheel,4775) myfile
299 +        @dir(root,wheel,775) mydir
300 +
301 +        On delete, absoluate paths are now handled properly.
302 +
303 + 20160317:
304 +        OpenSSH doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
305 +
306 +        Fix a security issue with OpenSSH X11 forwarding that can allow an attacker
307 +        run shell commands on the call to xauth.
308 +
309 +        Incorrect argument validation in sysarch(2)
310 +
311 +        A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to
312 +        uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT.  The start descriptor
313 +        is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided.  Due to invalid
314 +        use of a signed intermediate value in the bounds checking during argument
315 +        validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent
316 +        memory can be initiated from usermode.
317 +
318 +        Patch obtained from FreeBSD.
319 +
320 + 20160229:
321 +        top now displays information on ZFS arc cache.
322 +
323 + 20160228:
324 +        llvm + clang 3.3 is now the default compiler in MidnightBSD.
325 +
326 + 20160222:
327 +        Introduce pipe2 to linux emulation layer.
328 +
329 + 20160114:
330 +        OpenSSL
331 +
332 +        The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
333 +        if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
334 +        mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194]
335 +
336 +        When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak
337 +        memory. [CVE-2015-3195]
338 +
339 +        If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values
340 +        are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure.  [CVE-2015-3196]
341 +
342 +        Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
343 +
344 +        TCP MD5 signature denial of service
345 +
346 +        A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
347 +        and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
348 +
349 +        SCTP
350 +
351 +        A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack
352 +        can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer
353 +        dereference.  In either case, a kernel panic will follow.
354 +
355 + 20160102:
356 +        Happy New Year
357 +
358 + 20151101:
359 +        Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
360 +
361 + 20151017:
362 +        Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
363 +        it in mport(1).
364 +
365 + 20151002:
366 +        Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
367 +
368 + 20150930:
369 +        In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
370 +        two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer.  When one
371 +        of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
372 +        would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
373 +
374 + 20150926:
375 +        libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
376 +        to replace @exec and @unexec.  
377 +
378 +        pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
379 +
380 +        post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
381 +        pkg message.
382 +
383 +        pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
384 +
385 +        post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
386 +
387   20150917:
388          Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
