Hello everyone! We've done a point release, 4.6.1. It contains a number of bug fixes and at least three serious security fixes.
* A few kernel bugs have been fixed. * security hole in DMA fixed. * root priv escalation from non-root user bug fixed in the kernel. * OpenSSL updated to 1.0.1u (only affects the -RELEASE branch. In master we are shifting over to use a dports-built openssl and libressl to be able to react more quickly to ssl-related issues). * Other fixes and a few selected features taken from Master. Also, one more kernel bug was fixed just after we rolled 4.6.1 which has been MFC'd to the -release tree. It fixes a panic in the VM system that most people won't hit. A normal kernel build and install from the latest release branch will get this fix. The binary release image doesn't have this fix. -Matt
