IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 193 has been released, incorporating support for post-quantum cryptography within IPsec tunnels, along with a substantial update to the core toolchain. This update is an integral component of our continuous efforts to maintain the security, modernity, and efficiency of IPFire. IPsec tunnels now allow for secure key exchanges using the post-quantum Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM), which is safe from attacks by those using quantum computers. This decision guarantees the utilization of modern cryptography whenever feasible, while ensuring that IPFire maintains compatibility with legacy solutions from various vendors. The standard selection of ciphers for newly established tunnels has been revised to incorporate AES-256 in either GCM or CBC mode, or ChaCha20-Poly1305 as the default option.

IPFire has been updated to utilize glibc and Binutils, essential components of the operating system, to produce the most efficient code that leverages the latest hardware capabilities. Recent updates include removing the old Botnet C2 blocklist from abuse.ch, improving the collection of firmware and microcodes, and fixing security issues related to INTEL-SA-01166, INTEL-SA-01139, INTEL-SA-01228, and INTEL-SA-01194, as well as correcting a bug with an incorrect serial number.

IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 193 is now available for testing, introducing support for Post-Quantum Cryptography in IPsec tunnels, a new toolchain, along with various bug fixes and security enhancements. IPsec tunnels now facilitate key exchanges utilizing the post-quantum Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM), which is considered secure against threats posed by adversaries with access to quantum computing technology. This decision guarantees the utilization of modern cryptography whenever possible, while ensuring that IPFire maintains compatibility with legacy solutions from various vendors.

The standard configuration for new tunnels has been revised to incorporate AES-256 in either GCM or CBC mode, or ChaCha20-Poly1305 as the default option. The toolchain update incorporates security fixes for INTEL-SA-01166, INTEL-SA-01213, INTEL-SA-01139, INTEL-SA-01228, and INTEL-SA-01194.

IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 192 has been released and comes with a significant kernel update to Linux 6.12, incorporating enhanced speed for compression and decompression with the DELFATE algorithm, along with various minor bug and security fixes. The kernel update transitions the IPFire kernel to Linux 6.12, enabling Intel and AMD CPUs that support VAES and AVX-512 to achieve a 162% increase in AES-GCM encryption and decryption speed, thereby enhancing IPsec throughput. Optimizing memory alignment has enhanced TCP performance by as much as 40% through the use of smaller structures. Support for TCP fraglist GRO has been implemented, enabling the chaining of multiple TCP packets, which enhances throughput for PPPoE connections on systems that do not have basic checksum offloading capabilities. Support for new drivers has been introduced and expanded for a range of network devices, including rtl8192du.

Collectd 5, the service responsible for gathering statistics about the IPFire operating system, has been upgraded to version 5.12.0, introducing various bug fixes and enhancements. zlib-ng, a fork that enhances the legacy DEFLATE zlib compression library, has received updates aimed at boosting performance and efficiency. The miscellaneous packages encompass Rust, CLAMAV, dnsdist, fetchmail, FRR, mympd, nano, Postfix, QEMU and QEMU Guest Agent, Samba, strace, tshark, speedtest-cli, and CUPS.
