From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Peter =?utf-8?q?M=C3=BCller?= To: development@lists.ipfire.org Subject: Core Update 146 (testing) report Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2020 18:15:43 +0000 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============8602971052782245702==" List-Id: --===============8602971052782245702== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello *, upcoming Core Update 146 (testing, see: https://blog.ipfire.org/post/ipfire-2= -25-core-update-146-is-available-for-testing) is running here for about 24 hours without any unexpected behaviour so far. Tested IPFire functionalities in detail: - IPsec (N2N connections only) - Squid (authentication enabled, using an upstream proxy) - OpenVPN (RW connections only) - IPS/Suricata (with Emerging Threats ruleset enabled) - Guardian - Quality of Service - DNS (with DNS over TLS and strict QNAME minimisation) - Tor (relay mode) Compared to Core Update 145, this update uses a little bit less RAM than it d= id before, but this is merely academic and probably not noticeable on most syste= ms. Looking at /var/log/boot.log, this line looks strange to me, but was already = present before this update - just for your information: > [ 5.763783] udevd[572]: ignoring invalid mode '@DEV_KVM_MODE@' I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Arne for the poor quali= ty of most of the Kernel hardening patches. They were written in a hurry to get = them ready for this update, and I am sorry about their quality in retrospective. Anyway, some security improvements made it into Core Update 146, and adding t= hem one at a time seems to make sense more to me. I look forward to the release o= f this Core Update.
