Unlike Oracle Solaris with native ZFS, OmniOS stable is based on Open-ZFS with a dedicated software repository per release.
This means that a simple 'pkg update' gives the newest state of the installed OmniOS release.

To update to a newer release, you must switch the publisher setting to the newer release.
A 'pkg update' initiates then a release update.

An update to 151048 stable is possible from 151046 LTS.
To update an earlier release, you must update in steps over the LTS versions.

OmniOS 151044 stable is EoL with no further updates.

Security Fixes
  • Intel CPU microcode updated to 20231114, including a security update for INTEL-SA-00950.
  • AMD CPU microcode updated to 20231019.
Other Changes
  • The UUID of a bhyve VM was changing on every zone restart. For VMs using cloud-init, this caused them to be considered as a new host on each cold boot.
To update from initial 151048, run 'pkg update' + reboot
To update from former OmniOS, update in steps over LTS versions
To downgrade, start a former boot environment (automatically created on updates)

Security Fixes
  • curl has been updated to version 8.5.0.
  • The OpenJDK packages have been upgraded to versions 1.8.392-08, 11.0.21+9 and 17.0.9+9.
  • perl has been upgraded to version 5.63.3.
Other Changes
  • A race condition in ZFS could cause a very recently written file to appear to contain holes if inspected with lseek(SEEK_DATA). This is very hard to hit in practice, although the GNU cp command can trigger it and produce empty target files. The native illumos/OmniOS cp does not use lseek in this way and is unaffected.

Security Fixes
  • AMD CPU microcode has been updated to 20240116.
  • Intel CPU microcode has been updated to 20240312.
  • Introduced a workaround for the recently published Intel Register File Data Sampling [RFDS] vulnerability in some Intel Atom CPUs - INTEL-SA-00898
Other Changes
  • Fix for a kernel panic in the SMB server caused by a race between cancel and completion functions - illumos 15985.
  • SHA-2 calculations that use libmd and a very large block size could produce incorrect hashes.
  • A POSIX normal lock would not properly deadlock on re-entry in a single-threaded application - illumos 16200.
  • Clock calibration in KVM environments now retrieves the clock frequency directly via an MSR. This fixes the calculation in environments such as AWS. This calibration method was previously only tried in VMWare guests.
  • Added support for e1000g I219 V17 and LM+V24-27,29 network cards.
  • The ena network driver has received a number of fixes that make it more stable on multi-processor instance types, and support for device reset has been added.
