GhostBSD 22.01.12 ISO is now available

Submitted by ericbsd on Sun, 01/16/2022 - 20:23

This new ISO contains fixes, improvements, and software updates. Finally, the installer hanging at the cleaning stage for ZFS installation got fixed, and OpenRC and dhcpcd were removed from the base code. Furthermore, automation configuration for HD 7000 series and older GPUs has been added. I also added the support for os-release to show GhostBSD name and GhostBSD version in applications like mate-system-monitor, python distros, pfetch, and neofetch and added a new set of wallpapers for 2022 and removed p7zip from the default selection since it is vulnerable and unmaintained.

Security Advisory: p7zip is vulnerable please remove it!

Submitted by ericbsd on Sat, 01/15/2022 - 17:52

The p7zip was installed by default, and a vulnerability was reported.

sudo pkg audit -F
vulnxml file up-to-date
p7zip-16.02_3 is vulnerable:
p7zip -- usage of uninitialized memory
CVE: CVE-2018-10115
WWW: https://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/942fff11-5ac4-11ec-89ea-c85b76ce9b5a.html

The p7zip software has not been maintained since 2016. To mitigate, we removed p7zip from the default build, but I can't create an update to remove that package in the user's system.

Please remove p7zip, and if you need 7zip, install the new 7-zip package.

Terminal command:

sudo pkg delete p7zip
sudo pkg install 7-zip
