Netgate Security Advisory: CVE-2024-6387

Gertjan — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 14:30:14 GMT

@LesserBloops said in Netgate Security Advisory: CVE-2024-6387: I had no idea System_Patches existed until happening upon this thread Yeah .... well, scrap what's I've said above. I'll rephrase, and express my real opinion : It must be a package, so when an update exists, it will get flagged on the dashboard as 'update == patches' exist. That's the great thing about the pfSense package system. I was wondering : why isn't this build into pfSense directly ? But that would mean that there will be another thing to check, pfSense packages updates and patches updates. Another dashboard widget ? So : upon pfSense installation : advise the user to pick this package ? Or, don't signal the admin, and install the package without admin consent ? Humm, maybe not ... Right now, any package is installed with admin consent, as you have to install them 'ones'. Parches proposed by this package are only mostly 'quality of live' amelioration. But ones in a while they are a must have, as it solves a real issue. Then the question doesn't exist anymore : people will find the forum for support, will find that there is a solution ... a patch, and so on ... Real issues, like urgent software updates like (example) curl, unbound nginx etc etc (tyhese are not pfSense packages, but FreeBSD packages ! - or FreeBSD updates ported to their pfSense equivalent by Netgate ) are already getting updated using the command line ( SSH or console !! ) option 13. @LesserBloops : I've got one for you : Auto update check, checks for updates to base system + packages and sends email alerts "Install" that one also. You maybe not knowing it, but you need it Btw : you will need to install the Cron pfSense package. This script file tells me, as I receive a mail, if anything has an upgrade waiting. Even pfSense itself.

I would love to see Netgate step up and publish CSAF documents as well.

Supported hardware under the "New World Order" of pfsense Linux

Patch — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 03:25:16 GMT

To actually get "pfsense Plus" on linux I think we will have to wait for TNSR to reach feature parity with pfsense, which is a long way off.

unified web management coming?

AriKelly — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 13:43:26 GMT

It looks like unified web management could be coming soon. It would be great if it means easier control and management of all web services in one place. Let's see if any companies announce more details about it!

Netgate Releases pfSense CE Software Version 2.7.1

bschapendonk — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 21:36:59 GMT

fyi, not a big thing, but a bit annoying. The System Information widget insists that 23.09 is available, while the System Update page says I'm "Up to date"? [image: 1700224014732-1.png] [image: 1700224018406-2.png] ps. after I visit the System Update page, the System Information widget display's correctly until it updates again.

@delitrium would this be a good role for someone who was previously in a NOC and maybe with a ccna? What shift are we looking at?

Announcing the Netgate 8200

michmoor — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 18:09:04 GMT

@dobby_ none. Just responding to the previous poster that the 8200 "entry" price is high. Its just very subjective so i added a nonsensical point that a PA is expensive.

Netgate 7100 1U Security Gateway End of Sale

rcoleman-netgate — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 19:10:53 GMT

@wifi-will said in Netgate 7100 1U Security Gateway End of Sale: Why are Netgate getting rid of all models with Marvell switches? The hardware platform we have been moving towards provides more processing power and more throughput, without giving those up for assigning resources on the system to a switch. The rest of this comment is my personal opinion, as the owner of not one but two 7100s that the built-in switch is a minor convenience that can be more efficiently handled by a $50 VLAN-capable smart switch. When the times comes that the 1100 and 2100 are put to EOS I highly suspect (but have no insight into this) that they will be replaced by systems with similar design and basic switching. However I would suspect that any replacement to the 1100 (again, my personal opinion and not from knowledge gained by my employment) would be dual-NIC like the 2100 moving forward. WAN on one, LAN/OPT switched on a second. I will reiterate those are my personal opinions and thoughts on the matter
