I. Background The libarchive(3) library provides a flexible interface for reading and writing streaming archive files such as tar(1) and cpio(1), and has been the basis for the FreeBSD implementation of the tar(1) and cpio(1) utilities since FreeBSD 5.3. II. Problem Description An integer overflow in the archive_read_format_rar_seek_data() function may lead to a double free problem. III. Impact Exploiting a double free vulnerability can cause memory corruption. This in turn could enable a threat actor to execute arbitrary code. It might also result in denial of service.

Some of the Q1-2025 achievements for FreeBSD include:
- FreeBSD is still working on a policy for generative AI created code and documentation.
- FreeBSD Ports has landed KDE Plasma 6.3, Qt 6.8.3, Rust 1.85.1, Wine 10.0, and many other package updates.
- Porting the Intel and AMD DRM kernel graphics drivers from Linux 6.7~6.8 over to FreeBSD.
- The Intel IWX WiFi driver has landed in FreeBSD.
- Continued work porting FreeBSD to the PinePhone Pro.
- Bhyvemgr has been seeing progress as a GUI for the Bhyve virtualization written in FreePascal/Lazarus.
- The framework-kmod kernel module continues to be worked on for allowing dynamically dimming of the screen when the computer is not in use and to restore display brightness on user return, based on evdev input driver activity.

“FreeBSD 14.3 Beta 3 adds in the KDE desktop packages to the DVD image. Due to the “x11/kde5” package no longer existing for KDE Plasma 5, the build script needed to be updated to “x11/kde” that in turn points to the new KDE Plasma 6 packages. Thus the KDE Plasma desktop packages are back to being available from the DVD ISOs. However, the KDE packages might end up being dropped later depending upon the size of the ISOs if they begin hitting DVD capacity limits.”
A summary of changes since BETA2 includes:
- DVD images now contain KDE packages, and no longer contain kernel modules compiled on FreeBSD 14.2.
- PATH is set correctly in the post-install shell from bsdinstall.
- A bug causing boot failures on powerpc64le has been fixed.
- 802.11 AUTH frames are no longer sent if BSS changes.
-
- Compatible with Linux 6.14
- Support for FreeBSD RELEASE >= 12.2
- Fixes for the GCC 15 compiler builds

“The FreeBSD team got on top of a huge backlog problem with help from data visualization tools. We set up dashboards to track and sort over 7,000 old bugs. Now we fix bugs twice as fast as new ones come in and respond to users more quickly.”
Bitergia built five custom dashboards using GrimoireLab.
