pfSense 2.4.1 Release Notes
Security / Errata
- Fixes for the set of WPA2 Key Reinstallation Attack issues commonly known as KRACK #7951
- Changed upgrade handling to use the pkg-static binary to prevent errors when moving to new major FreeBSD version
- Fixed a VT console race condition panic at boot on VMware platforms (especially ESXi 6.5.0U1) #7925
- Fixed a bsnmpd problem that causes it to use all available CPU and RAM with the hostres module in cases where disk drives are present without media inserted #6882
- Fixed an upgrade problem due to FreeBSD 11 removing legacy ada aliases, which caused some older installs to fail when mounting root post-upgrade #7937

Known Issues
- The VLAN changes mentioned in the Interfaces section may prevent PPP sessions from working on VLANs in some cases, see #7981
Interfaces
- Changed the VLAN interface names to use the ‘dotted’ format of FreeBSD, which is shorter and helps to keep the interface name smaller than the limit (16) This fixes the 4 digit VLAN issues when the NIC name is 6 bytes long.
- Improved the ‘Assign Interfaces’ console process to automatically stop when there are no more interfaces to assign
- Improved the ‘Set interface IP address’ console process to accept ‘IP/mask’ notation
- Fixed wireless client interfaces so they do not reconfigure wireless on a link up event, or else they can get stuck in a loop #7960
- Fixed setting VLAN Priority in VLAN interface configuration #7748
Dashboard
- Fixed a problem with the Picture Dashboard widget when it does not have a picture defined #7896
- Fixed time display for UTC in the NTP Dashboard Widget #7714
- Fixed an IPsec widget error when it would get back null data after a session ended #6318
- Improved error checking to prevent dashboard widget parsing errors
DNS
- Added an option for the DNS Resolver (Unbound) to serve expired records from the cache after their TTL expires which can improve speed in some cases #7814
- Fixed the DNS Resolver (Unbound) to allow snoop from localhost by default, otherwise “dig +trace” or “drill -T” queries from the firewall itself fail #7884
XMLRPC
- Fixed XMLRPC Sync to prevent a lock that would never be unlocked
- Fixed XMLRPC sync to ensure a proper empty array is returned instead of NULL, so that the last item of a section can be removed without error #7953

- Added UEFI 32 and UEFI 64 filenames defined inside a pool to dhcpd.conf #7949
