Description Wouter Verhelst 2018-08-28 13:30:18 UTC 
I'm upstream for nbd-server (and the Linux nbd-client, but that doesn't apply to FreeBSD)

The last update of nbd-server in FreeBSD dates from 2013. Upstream development has not stalled since; the latest version of nbd-server is currently 3.18 (vs 3.5 in FreeBSD). The last update that was not a drive-by update dates from even longer before that (I gave up looking when I reached 2008).

Everything before 3.11 is vulnerable to CVE-2015-0847 (unsafe signal handling, possibility of a DoS). Additionally, more recent versions of NBD support TLS (through GnuTLS).

It would be useful if nbd-server would be updated to something more recent.
