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
• pfSense-SA-15_04.webgui: Arbitrary file deletion vulnerability 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.

Bug Fixes

• Rules / NAT
• IPsec
• OpenVPN
• DNS Resolver
• Logging
• Traffic Shaping
• IPv6
• VIP/CARP
• Misc Binary/OS Changes
