Run fsck with -z for ufs on upgrade to address FreeBSD-SA-19:10.ufs
100%
Description
Full details at https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-19:10.ufs.asc but long story short, on UFS filesystems uninitialized directory padding may contain a few bytes of content from kernel memory readable by anyone who can access a directory.
To clean it up, at boot time before mounting root, this must be run:
fsck -t ufs -f -p -T ufs:-z
We already have code to run fsck then, but we need to trigger this special run just once for everyone unconditionally on upgrade to a release containing the fix.

This fix does not appear to be getting triggered. There is no sign of the expected messages during the upgrade process.

Looks good on 2.4.5 and 2.5.0 now. I see the message when the rc package is upgraded, and the expected messages and fsck output during the upgrade process. The expected files are present afterward showing that the fix was applied.
