- Add a new "qsize" parameter in audit_control and the getacqsize(3) API to
query it, allowing to set the kernel's maximum audit queue length.
- Add support to push a mapping between audit event names and event numbers
into the kernel (where supported) using new A_GETEVENT and A_SETEVENT
auditon(2) operations.
- Add audit event identifiers for a number of new (and not-so-new) FreeBSD
system calls including those for asynchronous I/O, thread management, SCTP,
jails, multi-FIB support, and misc. POSIX interfaces such as
posix_fallocate(2) and posix_fadvise(2).
- On operating systems supporting Capsicum, auditreduce(1) and praudit(1) now
run sandboxed.
- Empty "flags" and "naflags" fields are now permitted in audit_control(5).
Many thanks to Christian Brueffer for producing the OpenBSM release and
importing/tagging it in the vendor branch. This release will allow improved
auditing of a range of new FreeBSD functionality, as well as non-traditional
events (e.g., fine-grained I/O auditing) not required by the Orange Book or
Common Criteria.
