2.2.1 RELEASE Now Available
// pfSense Digest
pfSense® software 2.2.1 release is now available, bringing a number of bug fixes and some security fixes.
Security Fixes
- pfSense-SA-15_02.igmp: Integer overflow in IGMP protocol (FreeBSD-SA-15:04.igmp)
- pfSense-SA-15_03.webgui: Multiple XSS Vulnerabilities in the pfSense WebGUI

- FreeBSD-EN-15:01.vt: vt(4) crash with improper ioctl parameters
- FreeBSD-EN-15:02.openssl: Update to include reliability fixes from OpenSSL
A note on the OpenSSL "FREAK" vulnerability:
- Does not affect the web server configuration on the firewall as it does not have export ciphers enabled.
- pfSense 2.2 already included OpenSSL 1.0.1k which addressed the client-side vulnerability.
- If packages include a web server or similar component, such as a proxy, an improper user configuration may be affected. Consult the package documentation or forum for details.

Upgrade Guidance
As always, you can upgrade from any previous version straight to 2.2.1. For those already running any 2.2 version, this is a low risk upgrade. For those on 2.1.x or earlier versions, there are a number of significant changes which may impact you. Pay close attention to the 2.2 Upgrade Notes for the details.
Download
Downloads are available on the mirrors as usual.
Downloads to Upgrade Existing Systems – note it's usually easier to just use the auto-update functionality, in which case you don't need to download anything from here. Check the Firmware Updates page for details.
