I found a vulnerability in git. CVE-2025-48384: Breaking git with a carriage return and cloning RCE - https://dgl.cx/2025/07/git-clone-submodule-cve-2025-48384

As the post explains this is one of my favourite classes of vulnerability, using characters that are old and sometimes forgotten.

Just updated (make buildworld) #FreeBSD Current (#main) 15.0. As always, everything went smoothly!

Just a quick note: on first boot, the laptop didn’t connect to Wi-Fi because the driver (iwlwifi module – https://man.freebsd.org/iwlwifi/4) was missing.
If you run into the same issue, just enable USB tethering on your smartphone, load urndis (https://man.freebsd.org/urndis/4), and simply run # fwget (https://man.freebsd.org/fwget/8).

Now time for a nice pkg upgrade -f to finish things up… and everything’s up to date!

Screenshot of a FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT desktop running Xfce 4.20 with a terminal window showing neofetch output. System details include an AMD Ryzen 5 3450U CPU with Radeon Vega Mobile graphics, 1920x1080 resolution, and 2.1 GiB memory used. The terminal shell is tcsh, and 1069 packages are installed via pkg. Another terminal shows uname -a output confirming the kernel was built on June 30, 2025. In the background, the sysctlview GUI is open, displaying kernel version information. The desktop background features a photo of blueberries, and a small Beastie icon is visible on the desktop.
