HardenedBSD Poll: linuxulator Removal
The linuxulator (the Linux
emulation/translation layer in FreeBSD) has recently undergone a major
overhaul. Many of FreeBSD's userbase relies on the linuxulator to
provide things like the Adobe Flash Player browser plugin, linux
browsers, and certain linux-centric tasks. The linuxulator provides a
set of security challenges. It is yet another attack vector. The core
HardenedBSD team would like to completely remove the linuxulator from
HardenedBSD's codebase.
What would be removed:
What would be removed:
- linuxulator and its dependents
- linprocfs (pending investigation, this might not be removed)
- packages that require the linuxulator
Recent dragonfly-master users: update
If you were running a version of DragonFly 4.1 (i.e. the master
version, not release) built between the 20th and 25th, rebuild. There’s
a UFS bug introduced in that short timeframe.
If you are running 4.0.x release or built your version of DragonFly-master outside of that date range – you are unaffected.
This week on the show, we've got something
pretty different. We went to a Linux convention and asked various people
if they've ever tried BSD and what they know about it. Stay tuned for
that, all this week's news and, of course, answers to your emails, on
BSD Now - the place to B.. SD.
If you are running 4.0.x release or built your version of DragonFly-master outside of that date range – you are unaffected.
