Hello friends,
although we have already released 15.1.8.4 early this week, we’re pushing out 15.1.9 for two important reasons: security updates, kernel panic fixes and clean images as we’ve had a couple of things that needed addressing following the configuration system rewrite in 15.1.8. That's three important reasons really. ;)
The recommended upgrade method is the root console option 12 to properly update both the packages and the base system to the latest available releases. Please verify that the system information widget on the dashboard presents you with the following and new version information (will show "i386" as opposed to "amd64" if you use the 32 bit version):
OPNsense 15.1.9-amd64
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p9
OpenSSL 1.0.1m 19 Mar 2015
Alternatively, you can choose to boot a fresh install media and do a clean config import followed by an immediate installation to retain your full setup.
As always, back up your configuration to an external location prior to upgrading.
LibreSSL images and updates are expected later today. Please watch out for the announcement on Twitter, IRC, the forum or elsewhere. LibreSSL is still an experimental release despite the fact we keep it up to date and mix LibreSSL updates into the shared patch notes.
Here is the change log for 15.1.9:
o tools: install media live images now use the more flexible tmpfs(5)
o tools: cxgbe(4) is now compiled into the kernel
o ports: strongswan 5.3.0 (https://www.strongswan.org/blog/2015/03/30/strongswan-5.3.0-released.html), openssh-portable 6.8p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.8), ntp 4.2.8p2 (http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Main/SecurityNotice#Recent_Vulnerabilities)
o src: reverted inconsistent carp(4) and pfsync(4) patches to retain standard FreeBSD behaviour
o src: fix multiple vulnerabilities of ntp (SA-15:07 (https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-15:07.ntp.asc))
o src: fix denial of service with IPv6 router advertisements (SA-15:09 (https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-15:09.ipv6.asc))
o core: console upgrade now also triggers the unused package removal
o core: fix regression that caused a faulty config.xml when applying limiter settings
o core: refactored the configd command structure for clarity
o core: fix for SMTP notifications that broke due to PHP 5.6’s new default SSL behaviour
o core: thorough unused java script purge under the hood
o upnp: fix redeclaration error on main page shortcut click
o user manager: consolidated the labels of all privileges, especially OpenVPN
o development: opnsense-update can selectively upgrade base/kernel for testing
o development: new chunk of progress on the new proxy feature and MVC structure
