Sun, 14 Apr 2013 16:30:00 +0000

We have a new snapshot uploading to the FTP server. It's the first snap in a year. �This snapshot is a little buggy, but does allow you to install MidnightBSD.

Please note there are many changes from 0.3-RELEASE:

1. Uses new midnightbsd partition types: mnbsd-ufs, mnbsd-boot, etc on GPT

2. ZFS is much newer than 0.3. �If you upgrade your pools, you can't use them with 0.3 anymore.

3. KMS with Intel Ivy Bridge graphics

4. Installer is completely different

5. hastd

6. updated mksh, BIND, tcsh, file, diff, binutils, mDNSResponder, libffi, openpam, openresolv, tnftp, tzcode, tzdata, wpa, xz, compiler_rt, sqlite3, ncurses, netcat, pf, traceroute, perl, openssh, openssl, less

7. updated from FreeBSD: make ipfw & ash, forth menus for the loader, bsdinstall, bsd sort, new USB stack, new cam based ATA, geom

8. llvm + clang

mport is the default package manager!

Major hardware support updates.. several wifi adapters, etc.

MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE-p10

Fri, 01 Feb 2013 03:57:00 +0000

Fix a longstanding bug with libmport's return status. As this affects installation of ports, an update was applied to this branch. This is not a security update and not needed for pkg_tools.

...

MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE-p9

Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:50:00 +0000

� MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE-p9

Bind vulnerability related to resource records.  See CVE-2012-1667.

...

0.3-RELEASE-p8

Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:49:00 +0000

...

0.3-RELEASE-p7

Thu, 31 May 2012 13:26:00 +0000

MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE-p7 fixes a new security issue found in OpenSSL. �It is recommended for all users. �

0.4-CURRENT has also been updated. �

...

MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE-p6

Thu, 03 May 2012 18:32:00 +0000

Several security issues have been addressed in OpenSSL in the latest security update for MidnightBSD. �0.3-RELEASE-p6 and 0.4-CURRENT have been patched to work around these issues.

�

OpenSSL failes to clear the bytes used as block cipher padding in SSL 3.0
records when operating as a client or a server that accept SSL 3.0
handshakes. �As a result, in each record, up to 15 bytes of uninitialized
memory may be sent, encrypted, to the SSL peer. �This could include
sensitive contents of previously freed memory. [CVE-2011-4576]

OpenSSL support for handshake restarts for server gated cryptograpy (SGC)
can be used in a denial-of-service attack. [CVE-2011-4619]

If an application uses OpenSSL's certificate policy checking when
verifying X509 certificates, by enabling the X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK
flag, a policy check failure can lead to a double-free. [CVE-2011-4109]

A weakness in the OpenSSL PKCS #7 code can be exploited using
Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding also known as the
million message attack (MMA). [CVE-2012-0884]

The asn1_d2i_read_bio() function, used by the d2i_*_bio and d2i_*_fp
functions, in OpenSSL contains multiple integer errors that can cause
memory corruption when parsing encoded ASN.1 data. �This error can occur
on systems that parse untrusted ASN.1 data, such as X.509 certificates

or RSA public keys. [CVE-2012-2110]�

...

New ZFS Documentation

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:22:00 +0000

I've created some basic ZFS documentation on the website. �This is in addition to some content on the wiki. �Anyone interested in using ZFS on MidnightBSD may wish to look at it as a starting point. �It doesn't replace the man pages though.�

...

preinit, init and fini from ELF

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:31:00 +0000

rtld-elf modified to support preinit, init and fini arrays. �Obtained from: DragonFly. �This makes us BSD #2 with this feature.

...

First magus run in months

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:15:00 +0000

This was a run queued up in November, so it's not that current. �As you can see from the results, we had a very poor run. �Some of the packages are no longer fetchable, and some of this is problems that were created in the mports environment but have since been fixed. �I plan to do a current run soon on the same hardware. �Still having problems with the amd64 runs and I'm looking into it.
