Hi, How are security issues in "upstream" software like the FreeBSD kernel handled by the pfSense project? In the particular case of FreeBSD-SA-07:09.random, I have two questions:
- What parts of pfSense are affected by the bug? I realize that this might be a big question. - How should I do to get it fixed? I'm running the embedded image. I can see that rolling my own image would do it. Last time I looked that didn't look exactly like a walk in the park though. Any pointers to info about it are appreciated. I could use a snapshot, like http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/embedded/pfSense.img.gz, but how can I know if it includes some particular fix? In this case, it seems like I could download it, unpack it and gzip -cd boot/kernel/kernel.gz | strings | egrep FreeBSD.\*RELEASE to verify that it's really 6.2-RELEASE-p9 but how do I handle the general case where it's not the kernel that needs fixing?
