123
124 20160923:
125 Security update for OpenSSL
126
127 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension.
128 If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status
129 Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the
130 server. [CVE-2016-6304]
131
132 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or through
133 the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker is able to supply
134 very large amounts of input data after a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate()
135 with a partial block then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
136 corruption. [CVE-2016-6303]
137
138 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
139 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
140 ultimately crash. [CVE-2016-6302]
141
142 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
143 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
144 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
145 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
146 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
147 [CVE-2016-2182]
148
149 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
150 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
151 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are presented.
152 [CVE-2016-2180]
153
154 Some calculations of limits in OpenSSL have used undefined pointer arithmetic.
155 This could cause problems with some malloc implementations. [CVE-2016-2177]
156
157 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in order to
158 avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA implementation means that
159 a non-constant time codepath is followed for certain operations. [CVE-2016-2178]
160
161 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order those
162 messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered for later
163 use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages
164 do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has been completed.
165 An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to remain in the buffer when
166 they are no longer required. These messages will be cleared when the DTLS
167 connection is closed. The default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore
168 the attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per connection.
169 [CVE-2016-2179]
170
171 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records that
172 arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before the MAC
173 for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by
174 sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have a
175 valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that all subsequent
176 legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of service for a specific
177 DTLS connection. [CVE-2016-2181]
178
179 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result in
180 OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a theoretical
181 DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common platforms.
182 [CVE-2016-6306]
183
184 20160918:
185 With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
186 depended on during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
187 the user prior to installworld.
188
189 The VFS KBI was changed with the merge of several nullfs
190 optimizations and fixes. All filesystem modules must be
191 recompiled.
192
193 20160916:
194 The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
195 generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
196 Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
197 needed. The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
198 option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
199 configurations.
200
201 A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged.
202 Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
203 is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
204 compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
205 pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS
206 pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj".
207 For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page.
208 Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
209 on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
210
211 20160906:
212 Add support for the MosChip MCS9904 four serial ports
213 controller.
214
215 Add support for walltimestamp in DTrace.
216
217 Various gdb improvments.
218
219 ZFS
220 Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O,
221 nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically
222 secure) of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
223 It also saves space if snapshots are in use.
224
225 It currently works only on datasets with enabled compression, disabled
226 deduplication and sha256 checksums.
227
228 Add loader(8) tunable to enable/disable nopwrite functionality:
229 vfs.zfs.nopwrite_enabled
230
231 Introduce a new dataset aclmode setting "restricted" to protect ACL's
232 being destroyed or corrupted by a drive-by chmod.
233
234 New loader-only tunables:
235 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_deferred_free
236 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_dont_compress
237 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_rewrite
238
239 chkgrp(8) add support for q flag
240
241 Fix problem with the Samsung 840 PRO series SSD detection.
242 The device reports support for SATA Asynchronous Notification in its
243 IDENTIFY data, but returns error on attempt to enable that feature.
244 Make SATA XPT of CAM only report these errors, but not fail the device.
245
246 20160905:
247 Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues
248 available to the user. Kqueue now saves the ucred of the
249 allocating thread, to correctly decrement the counter on close.
250 Based on FreeBSD SVN 256849
251
252 Import netcat from OpenBSD 5.2
253
254 20160904:
255 Introduced experimental TCP sysctls starting with
256 net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10
257
258 20160814:
259 switched default desktop port to midnightbsd-desktop. This gives us flexibility to change it
260 in the release after the fact.
261
262 tzdata 2016a
263
264 20160811:
265 libdispatch 210
266
267 Added quirks for several models of SSDs to enable advanced format/4k mode. List includes
268 Samsung 830, 840, 850 and 750 series, Intel x25 and a few Toshiba models. Also
269 added WD Red drives.

284
285 20160531:
286 Fix four security issues with MidnightBSD.
287
288 The implementation of TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
289 struct before sending to userland in the linux emulation layer.
290
291 The compat 43 stat(2) system call exposes kernel stack to userland.
292
293 libarchive - CVE-2015-2304 and CVE-2013-0211 fix issues with
294 cpio directory traversal and an integer signedness error in the archive
295 write zip data routine.

305
306 20160519:
307 Kernel Security updates
308
309 atkbd(4) - Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious
310 local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
311
312 Incorrect argument handling in sendmsg(2)
313
314 Incorrect argument handling in the socket code allows malicious local
315 user to overwrite large portion of the kernel memory.
316
317 20160505:
318 OpenSSL security patch
319
320 The padding check in AES-NI CBC MAC was rewritten to be in constant time
321 by making sure that always the same bytes are read and compared against
322 either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer checked that there was
323 enough data to have both the MAC and padding bytes. [CVE-2016-2107]
324
325 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
326 Base64 encoding of binary data. [CVE-2016-2105]
327
328 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function, however it is
329 believed that there can be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
330 [CVE-2016-2106]
331
332 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
333 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
334 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
335 [CVE-2016-2109]
336
337 20160412:
338 0.8 stable branch created. Continue development as 0.9.
339
340 Fix several issues with wait6 system call addition.
341
342 20160409:
343 libmport now supports two new plist formats:
344 @(root,wheel,4775) myfile
345 @dir(root,wheel,775) mydir
346
347 On delete, absoluate paths are now handled properly.
348
349 20160317:
350 OpenSSH doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
351
352 Fix a security issue with OpenSSH X11 forwarding that can allow an attacker
353 run shell commands on the call to xauth.
354
355 Incorrect argument validation in sysarch(2)
356
357 A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to
358 uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT. The start descriptor
359 is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided. Due to invalid
360 use of a signed intermediate value in the bounds checking during argument
361 validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent
362 memory can be initiated from usermode.
363
364 Patch obtained from FreeBSD.
365
366 20160229:
367 top now displays information on ZFS arc cache.
368
369 20160228:
370 llvm + clang 3.3 is now the default compiler in MidnightBSD.
371
372 20160222:
373 Introduce pipe2 to linux emulation layer.
374
375 20160114:
376 OpenSSL
377
378 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
379 if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
380 mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194]
381
382 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak
383 memory. [CVE-2015-3195]
384
385 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values
386 are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. [CVE-2015-3196]
387
388 Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
389
390 TCP MD5 signature denial of service
391
392 A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
393 and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
394
395 SCTP
396
397 A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack
398 can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer
399 dereference. In either case, a kernel panic will follow.
400
401 20160102:
402 Happy New Year
403
404 20151101:
405 Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
406
407 20151017:
408 Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
409 it in mport(1).
410
411 20151002:
412 Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
413
414 20150930:
415 In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
416 two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer. When one
417 of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
418 would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
419
420 20150926:
421 libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
422 to replace @exec and @unexec.
423
424 pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
425
426 post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
427 pkg message.
428
429 pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
430
431 post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
432
433 20150917:
434 Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
435
436 20150825:
437 kernel:
438 fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via
439 userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
440
441 openssh:
442 A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
443 service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
444 overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
445
446 A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
447 service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
448 compromised unprivileged child process.
449
450 A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
451 service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
452
453 20150818:
454 expat security fix
455
456 20150815:
457 libc changes:
458 setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
459 libc will compile without error using clang
460
461 20150814:
462 wait6 system call added.
463
464 date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
465 like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
466
467 20150811:
468 ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
469 Intel lynxpoint SATA.
470

479 xz 5.0.8
480
481 20150808:
482 libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
483
484 20150805:
485 routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
486 the network can disrupt routing.
487
488 bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
489 to run.
490
491 20150802:
492 jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
493
494 20150728:
495 Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
496
497 OpenSSL 1.0.1o
498
499 cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
500
501 TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
502 There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
503 global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
504 queues into a per-VNET limit. Because mbufs are allocated from a
505 global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
506 total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
507 total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
508 traffic would cease.
509 Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
510
511 OpenSSH
512
513 Fix two security vulnerabilities:
514 OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
515 offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
516
517 OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
518 using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
519 MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
520
521
522 Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
523
524 20150726:
525 BSD Sort updated
526
527 sqlite 3.8.10.2
528
529 20150725:
530 Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.
531
532 The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
533 nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
534 calculation nmemb * size.
535
536 20150722:
537 Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
538 state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
539
540 20150715:
541 libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
542 a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
543 it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
544 .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
545 only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
546
547 20150709:
548 flex 2.5.39
549
550 20150702:
551 ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
552 with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
553
554 Verify it's working with
555 zfs get compressratio pool/path
556 du -h -s *
557
558 Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
559 changes. Existing files are not compressed.
560
561 Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
562 FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
563 and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
564 to ZFS.
565
566 20150621:
567 libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
568
569 The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
570 for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
571
572 20150618:
573 Sendmail
574
575 With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
576 sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
577
578 Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
579 match the server configuration.
580
581 ZFS
582
583 Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
584 ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
585
586 Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
587 first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
588 amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
589 to disable this behaviour.
590
591 ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
592 is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
593 via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
594
595 Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
596 under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
597
598 rc.d
599
600 Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
601 implies everything is mounted and ready to go.

638 20150225:
639 Fix two security vulnerabilities.
640
641 1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
642 are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
643 "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
644 unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
645 variable.
646
647 CVE-2015-1349
648
649 2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
650 in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
651
652 This can result in a DOS attack.
653
654 20141211:

675 20141021:
676 Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
677 and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
678 nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
679
680 The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
681 attempt to answer them. However, the output path assumes that the
682 destination address for the response is on a directly connected
683 network.
684
685 Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
686 a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
687 overflow in rtsold(8).

820 20130910:
821 Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
822
823 nullfs(5)
824
825 The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
826 check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
827 nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
828 location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
829 underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
830
831 ifioctl
832
833 As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
834 handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
835 passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
836 return an error code.
837
838 Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
839 SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
840 handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
841 validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer
842 actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
843 and resetting the underlying hardware.
844
845 20130824:
846 Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
847 handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
848 FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
849 will be included in the next release.
850
851 Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static

951
952 If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
953 to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
954
955 This has to due with the way that openssl works. It ignores unencrpted data.

958
959 nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
960 operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
961 hole in things like ftpd.

1022 Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
1023
1024 20111015:
1025 Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
1026 to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
1027 process. Several new system calls were added to support this
1028 functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
1029 compatibility on amd64.
1030
1031 The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
1032 amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
1033 for this feature.
1034
1035 This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
1036
1037 20111004:
1038 Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
1039 patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
1040 apps to work under the linuxolator again.
1041
1042 20111001:
1043 Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is

1046
1047 20110930:
1048 Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
1049 USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
1050
1051 Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
1052 Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
1053 when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
1054 offloading.
1055
1056 Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
1057 working with large raid3 sets.
1058
1059 Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
1060
1061 20110929:
1062 Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
1063
1064 The following modules are no longer available, and should be
1065 removed from loader.conf:
1066 ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
1067
1068 alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
1069 required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
1070 a connection could be established. Disable hibernation.
1071
1072 20110928:

1074 files that are corrupted.
1075
1076 Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.

1088 20110806:
1089 sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
1090
1091 msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides
1092 a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used
1093 to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
1094 index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
1095 /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable
1096 space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
1097
1098 Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
1099 versions. This will be obsolete with mport though.
1100
1101 20110710:
1102 kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
1103 know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
1104
1105 Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
1106
1107 20110709:
1108 cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
1109 with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
1110
1111 20110612:
1112 Update mksh to R40
1113
1114 Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when
1115 updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
1116
1117 20110528:
1118 Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers.
1119
1120 20110526:
1121 newfs:
1122 Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
1123 16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
1124
1125 This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
1126 hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
1127 have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course
1128 the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
1129
1130 20110521:
1131 mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove
1132 all packages from a system.
1133
1134 A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
1135
1136 20110518:
1137 Perl 5.14.0
1138
1139 20110517:
1140 Sendmail 8.14.5
1141
1142 20110314:

1144
1145 cdevpriv wrappers added
1146
1147 nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
1148
1149 dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
1150
1151 20110308:

1217 20101130:
1218 A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
1219 processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
1220 numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
1221
1222 20101120:
1223 Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
1224 systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
1225 to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
1226 our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
1227 which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
1228
1229 newfs and growfs was also modified.
1230
1231 20101110:
1232 Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
1233 context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file
1234 systems such as procfs for instance.
1235
1236 20101021:
1237 sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
1238 This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
1239 written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
1240
1241 20100920:
1242 bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
1243
1244 20100905:
1245 MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created. Aggressive development continues here
1246 for 0.4.
1247
1248 20100902:
1249 Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
1250 login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
1251 the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
1252
1253 20100822:
1254 Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
1255
1256 20100814:
1257 libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in
1258 Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is
1259 licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
1260 it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
1261 may not like.
1262
1263 20100713:
1264 mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
1265

1309 properly pass arguments to ld.
1310
1311 re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
1312 realtek chipsets. Performance has been improved on re(4).

1324 Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
1325
1326 posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and
1327 install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
1328 older current systems.
1329
1330 kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
1331
1332 20100106:
1333 Bind security update. Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
1334 cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
1335
1336 Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
1337
1338 20091228:
1339 amdtemp(4) was added. It allows one to monitor to the temperature
1340 of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
1341
1342 20091205:
1343 OpenSSL security fix
1344
1345 The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
1346 cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
1347
1348 20091128:
1349 OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)

1360
1361 tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
1362
1363 20091010:
1364 amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
1365 to test current.
1366
1367 Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos
1368 on amd64 systems.
1369
1370 20091006:
1371 Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
1372 Argentina changes.
1373
1374 Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
1375 sbin and usr.sbin.
1376
1377 20090919:
1378 Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
1379
1380 20090729:
1381 Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
1382 can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
1383
1384 20090606:
1385 Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work
1386 as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
1387 in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck
1388 with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
1389
1390 I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
1391 fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
1392 system which makes no sense.
1393
1394 A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
1395 the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support
1396 but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on
1397 an external device.
1398
1399 20090520:
1400 The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
1401 compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new
1402 installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
1403 makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
1404 out my new Phenom too.
1405
1406 20090502:
1407 OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
1408
1409 ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
1410
1411 20090501:
1412 Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
1413
1414 20090422:
1415 OpenSSL security update
1416
1417 The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
1418 of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
1419
1420 20090415:
1421 Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
1422
1423 Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
1424
1425 Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
1426 tools to fail.
1427
1428 20090405:
1429 xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
1430 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
1431 add
1432 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
1433 to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
1434 kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
1435
1436 20090403:
1437 mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
1438 buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back
1439 for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
1440 MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
1441 but we may change this later. This will allow further
1442 testing by users and developers of mksh without
1443 causing an unpleasant default experience. In the
1444 long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
1445
1446 20090328:
1447 Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
1448 and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
1449 as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with
1450 ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
1451 as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
1452 an optional build parameter.
1453
1454 ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
1455 the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
1456
1457 Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
1458 default for login and profile.
1459
1460 20090327:
1461 Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
1462
1463 Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
1464 to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
1465 on mports.
1466
1467 20090325:
1468 Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
1469
1470 Update mksh to R36b
1471
1472 Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
1473
1474 Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
1475
1476 20090115:
1477 Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
1478
1479 20090110:
1480 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
1481 certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be
1482 used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
1483
1484 Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
1485 affected.
1486
1487 Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
1488
1489 20090104:
1490 Import GNU libreadline 5.2

1494
1495 20081231:
1496 Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
1497 properly initialized.
1498
1499 Happy 2009.
1500
1501 20081206:
1502 Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
1503 we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was
1504 changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
1505 using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
1506
1507 The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider
1508 i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
1509
1510 mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
1511
1512 batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and
1513 runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output
1514 shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
1515 percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
1516 -c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more.
1517
1518 20081204:
1519 Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
1520 new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
1521 support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
1522 openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
1523 intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
1524
1525 Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
1526 data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means
1527 testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
1528 and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
1529 sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
1530
1531 20080905:
1532 update nve(4) to support new hardware.
1533
1534 20080801:

1536
1537 Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
1538
1539 etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
1540
1541 Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
1542
1543 The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
1544
1545 20080703:
1546 pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
1547 or posibly jails.
1548
1549 20080627:
1550 Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
1551
1552 Add glabel to GENERIC.
1553
1554 Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
1555
1556 pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)

1558 ath added to GENERIC. (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
1559
1560 20080528:
1561 Sendmail 8.14.3
1562
1563 20080516:
1564 ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
1565 were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
1566 few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
1567 option.
1568
1569 The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
1570
1571 20080514:
1572 Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
1573 to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
1574 by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
1575 install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
1576 GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
1577
1578 System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
1579 on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
1580
1581 20080430:
1582 __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
1583 to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
1584
1585 20080429:
1586 Import bind 9.4.2 with threading

1633 which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
1634
1635 Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
1636 thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
1637
1638 Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
1639 I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
1640 My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
1641
1642 20080306:
1643 Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
1644 Developers can now use it to check src builds.
1645
1646 20080303:
1647 Add mksh to /etc/shells, made some adjustments to options

1672 so multiple servers are used.
1673
1674 Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.
1675
1676 20080121:
1677 Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
1678 according to a VM present. VMWare and Parallels
1679 should work better like this.
1680
1681 Change to full x11 install in sysinstall. Add
1682 xorg 7 support.
1683
1684 20080115:

1695
1696 20071120:
1697 Update system compiler to gcc 3.4.6.
1698
1699 20071023:
1700 Updated mksh to R31d.
1701
1702 20070911:
1703 Updated mksh to version R31b.
1704
1705 Fixed stderr output in libpthread. Previously it was
1706 written to stdout.
1707
1708 20070831:
1709 Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
1710 mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
1711
1712 Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
1713 with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
1714 or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
1715 ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
1716 change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
1717 enabled by default.
1718
1719 20070814:
1720 Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
1721 for awhile.
1722
1723 20070806:
1724 Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
1725
1726 20070804:
1727 BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
1728
1729 We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
1730
1731 20070719:
1732 Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
1733
1734 20070716:
1735 Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
1736
1737 20070410:
1738 cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
1739 cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
1740 most of their local changes.
1741
1742 20070409:
1743 RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
1744 continue here.
1745
1746 20070406:
1747 Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
1748 with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
1749 curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
1750 multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
1751 work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
1752 patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
1753
1754 It is more important to have a stable system for our
1755 mport work and other projects at this time.
1756
1757 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
1758 have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
1759 or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
1760 make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
1761 of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
1762 /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
1763 your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
1764 mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
1765 chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
1766 them.
1767
1768 You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
1769 this from libc.
1770
1771 You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
1772 installed.
1773
1774 20070401:
1775 Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
1776 provide us with much greater security and stability in the
1777 long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
1778 follow the these instructions:
1779
1780 cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
1781 cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
1782 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
1783 cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
1784 buildworld and kernel
1785
1786 It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
1787 prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
1788 or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
1789 and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
1790 fix.
1791
1792 20070314:
1793 Remove send-pr from src.
1794
1795 Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
1796
1797 Bump MBSD minor revision.
1798
1799 20070313:
1800 Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
1801
1802 Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
1803
1804 Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
1805 the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
1806
1807 20070312:
1808 Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
1809 BSD Daemon files from src/share.
1810
1811 20070308:
1812 Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
1813 the Dell perc5i.
1814
1815 20070206:
1816 Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
1817 /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
1818
1819 Those who install from a snapshot after this date
1820 will not be effected.
1821
1822 20070119:
1823 Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
1824 before installing world.
1825
1826 hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
1827
1828 An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
1829 unbreak world.
1830
1831 wpa_supplicant was updated.
1832
1833 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
1834 sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
1835 fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
1836 2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
1837 will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
1838
1839 20061231:
1840 Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
1841
1842 Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
1843
1844 Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
1845 synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
1846 to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
1847 Feb 26, 2006.
1848
1849 Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
1850 dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
1851 /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
1852
1853 Numerous man page and bug fixes.
1854
1855 20061226:
1856 Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
1857 MidnightBSD CVSup server.
1858
1859 Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
1860 erasing CDRW media.
1861
1862 Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
1863 in C.
1864
1865 Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
1866
1867 Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
1868 geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
1869
1870 20061225:
1871 Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
1872 that caused long double to long and long long
1873 conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
1874
1875 20061221:
1876 Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
1877 batteries are present.
1878
1879 Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
1880 RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
1881
1882 Corrected a bug with TTY.
1883
1884 20061218:
1885 Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
1886 threads don't get scheduled.
1887
1888 20061206:
1889 Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
1890
1891 20061129:
1892 Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
1893
1894 Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
1895 FreeBSD.
1896
1897 20061031:
1898 Updated man pages in section 7.
1899
1900 20061030:
1901 Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
1902 r300 cards properly.
1903
1904 Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
1905
1906 Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
1907
1908 20061027:
1909 Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
1910 random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
1911 to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
1912 commited.
1913
1914 lukemftpd updated.
1915
1916 openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
1917 seeding.
1918
1919 20061014:
1920 Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
1921
1922 Started removal of alpha support.
1923
1924 20061013:
1925 ATA driver was updated. USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
1926
1927 20061010:
1928 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
1929
1930 20060909:
1931 OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
1932 the old ntpd daemon.
1933
1934 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
1935 on a per line basis.
1936
1937 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
1938 keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
1939 improved with this patch.
1940
1941 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
1942 increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
1943
1944 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
1945
1946 Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
1947
1948 20060817:
1949 ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
1950 the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
1951
1952
1953
1954 To build a kernel
1955 -----------------
1956 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
1957 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
1958 /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
1959 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1960 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1961
1962 To test a kernel once
1963 ---------------------
1964 If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
1965 if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
1966 debugging information) run
1967 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
1968 nextboot -k testkernel
1969
1970 To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1971 --------------------------------------------------------------
1972 This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
1973 ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1974 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
1975
1976 cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
1977 config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1978 cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1979 make depend
1980 make
1981 make install
1982
1983 If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
1984
1985 To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
1986 -----------------------------------------------------------
1987 # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
1988 # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
1989
1990 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1991 make buildworld
1992 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1993 [1]
1994 <reboot in single user> [3]
1995 mergemaster -p [5]
1996 make installworld
1997 make delete-old
1998 mergemaster [4]
1999 <reboot>
2000
2001
2002 To cross-install current onto a separate partition
2003 --------------------------------------------------
2004 # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
2005 # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
2006 # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
2007 # size.
2008
2009 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
2010 <boot into -stable>
2011 make buildworld
2012 make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
2013 <maybe newfs current's root partition>
2014 <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
2015 make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
2016 cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
2017 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
2018 cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
2019 <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
2020 <reboot into current>
2021 <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
2022 <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
2023 <reboot>
2024
2025
2026 To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
2027 -----------------------------------------------------------
2028 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
2029 make buildworld [9]
2030 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
2031 [1]
2032 <reboot in single user> [3]
2033 mergemaster -p [5]
2034 make installworld
2035 make delete-old
2036 mergemaster -i [4]
2037 <reboot>
2038
2039 Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
2040 tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
2041 cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
2042 to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
2043 the UPDATING entries.
2044
2045 Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
2046 freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
2047 your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
2048 messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
2049 much fewer pitfalls.
2050
2051 [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
2052 should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
2053 system on reboot.
2054
2055 [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
2056 fsck -p
2057 mount -u /
2058 mount -a
2059 cd src
2060 adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
2061 Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
2062 you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
2063
2064 [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
2065 can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
2066 system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
2067 that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2068 as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
2069 for potential gotchas.
2070
2071 [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
2072 you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
2073 step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
2074
2075 [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
2076 needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2077 option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
2078 that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2079 is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
2080
2081 Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
2082 last time you updated your kernel config file.
2083
2084 [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
2085 cvs prune empty directories.
2086
2087 If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2088 "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2089 override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2090
2091 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2092 not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
2093 warn if it is improperly defined.
