+
+For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security
+Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
+branches, and the following sections, please visit
+<URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
+
+I.   Background
+
+The IANA Time Zone Database (often called tz or zoneinfo) contains code and
+data that represent the history of local time for many representative
+locations around the globe.  It is updated periodically to reflect changes
+made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets, and
+daylight-saving rules.
+
+FreeBSD releases install the IANA Time Zone Database in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
+The tzsetup(8) utility allows the user to specify the default local time
+zone.  Based on the selected time zone, tzsetup(8) copies one of the files
+from /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime.  A time zone may also be selected
+for an individual process by setting its TZ environment variable to a desired
+time zone name.
+
+II.  Problem Description
+
+Several changes to future and past timestamps have been recorded in the IANA
+Time Zone Database after previous FreeBSD releases were released.  This
+affects many users in different parts of the world.  Because of these
+changes, the data in the zoneinfo files need to be updated.  If the local
+timezone on the running system is affected, tzsetup(8) needs to be run to
+update /etc/localtime.
+
+III. Impact
+
+An incorrect time will be displayed on a system configured to use one of the
+affected time zones if the /usr/share/zoneinfo and /etc/localtime files are
+not updated, and all applications on the system that rely on the system time,
+such as cron(8) and syslog(8), will be affected.
+
+IV.  Workaround
+
+The system administrator can install an updated version of the IANA Time Zone
+Database from the misc/zoneinfo port and run tzsetup(8).
+
+Applications that store and display times in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
+are not affected.
+
+V.   Solution
+
+Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security
+branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
+
+Please note that some third party software, for instance PHP, Ruby, Java,
+Perl and Python, may be using different zoneinfo data sources, in such cases
+this software must be updated separately.  Software packages that are
+installed via binary packages can be upgraded by executing 'pkg upgrade'.
+
+Following the instructions in this Errata Notice will only update the IANA
+Time Zone Database installed in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
+
+Perform one of the following:
+
+1) To update your system via a binary patch:
+
+Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64, i386, or
+(on FreeBSD 13 and later) arm64 platforms can be updated via the
+freebsd-update(8) utility:
+
+# freebsd-update fetch
+# freebsd-update install
+
+Restart all the affected applications and daemons, or reboot the system.
+
+2) To update your system via a source code patch:
+
+The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
+FreeBSD release branches.
+
+a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
+detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
+
+# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-22:14/tzdata-2022a.patch
+# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-22:14/tzdata-2022a.patch.asc
+# gpg --verify tzdata-2022a.patch.asc
+
+b) Apply the patch.  Execute the following commands as root:
+
+# cd /usr/src
+# patch < /path/to/patch
+
+c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as
+described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.
+
+Restart all the affected applications and daemons, or reboot the system.
+
+VI.  Correction details
+
+This issue is corrected by the corresponding Git commit hash or Subversion
+revision number in the following stable and release branches:

++Release 2022a - 2022-03-15 23:02:01 -0700
++
++  Briefly:
++    Palestine will spring forward on 2022-03-27, not -03-26.
++    zdump -v now outputs better failure indications.
++    Bug fixes for code that reads corrupted TZif data.
++
++  Changes to future timestamps
++
++    Palestine will spring forward on 2022-03-27, not 2022-03-26.
++    (Thanks to Heba Hamad.)  Predict future transitions for first
++    Sunday >= March 25.  Additionally, predict fallbacks to be the first
++    Friday on or after October 23, not October's last Friday, to be more
++    consistent with recent practice.  The first differing fallback
++    prediction is on 2025-10-24, not 2025-10-31.
++
++  Changes to past timestamps
++
++    From 1992 through spring 1996, Ukraine's DST transitions were at
++    02:00 standard time, not at 01:00 UTC.  (Thanks to Alois Treindl.)
++
++    Chile's Santiago Mean Time and its LMT precursor have been adjusted
++    eastward by 1 second to align with past and present law.
++
++  Changes to commentary
++
++    Add several references for Chile's 1946/1947 transitions, some of
++    which only affected portions of the country.
++
++  Changes to code
++
++    Fix bug when mktime gets confused by truncated TZif files with
++    unspecified local time.  (Problem reported by Almaz Mingaleev.)
++
++    Fix bug when 32-bit time_t code reads malformed 64-bit TZif data.
++    (Problem reported by Christos Zoulas.)
++
++    When reading a version 2 or later TZif file, the TZif reader now
++    validates the version 1 header and data block only enough to skip
++    over them, as recommended by RFC 8536 section 4.  Also, the TZif
++    reader no longer mistakenly attempts to parse a version 1 TZIf
++    file header as a TZ string.
++
++    zdump -v now outputs "(localtime failed)" and "(gmtime failed)"
++    when local time and UT cannot be determined for a timestamp.
++
++  Changes to build procedure
++
++    Distribution tarballs now use standard POSIX.1-1988 ustar format
++    instead of GNU format.  Although the formats are almost identical
++    for these tarballs, ustar headers' magic fields contain "ustar"
++    instead of "ustar ", and their version fields contain "00" instead
++    of " ".  The two formats are planned to diverge more significantly
++    for tzdb releases after 2242-03-16 12:56:31 UTC, when the ustar
++    format becomes obsolete and the tarballs switch to pax format, an
++    extension of ustar.  For details about these formats, please see
++    "pax - portable archive interchange", IEEE Std 1003.1-2017,
++    <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/pax.html#tag_20_92_13>.

++  Changes to future timestamps
++
++    Fiji will suspend observance of DST for the 2021/2022 season.
++    Assume for now that it will return next year.  (Thanks to Jashneel
++    Kumar and P Chan.)
++
++  Changes to code
++
++    'zic -r' now uses "-00" time zone abbreviations for intervals
++    with UT offsets that are unspecified due to -r truncation.
++    This implements a change in draft Internet RFC 8536bis.
++
++
++Release 2021c - 2021-10-01 14:21:49 -0700

++    Fix 'zic -b fat' bug in pre-1970 32-bit data.
++    Fix two Link line typos.
++    Distribute SECURITY file.
++
++    This release is intended as a bugfix release, to fix compatibility
++    problems and typos reported since 2021b was released.
++
++  Changes to Link directives
++
++    Revert almost all of 2021b's changes to the 'backward' file,
++    by moving Link directives back to where they were in 2021a.
++    Although 'zic' doesn't care which source file contains a Link
++    directive, some downstream uses ran into trouble with the move.
++    (Problem reported by Stephen Colebourne for Joda-Time.)
++
++    Fix typo that linked Atlantic/Jan_Mayen to the wrong location
++    (problem reported by Chris Walton).
++
++    Fix 'backzone' typo that linked America/Virgin to the wrong
++    location (problem reported by Michael Deckers).
++
++  Changes to code
++
++    Fix a bug in 'zic -b fat' that caused old timestamps to be

++
++    Distribute the SECURITY file (problem reported by Andreas Radke).
++
++
++Release 2021b - 2021-09-24 16:23:00 -0700
++
++  Briefly:
++    Jordan now starts DST on February's last Thursday.
++    Samoa no longer observes DST.
++    Merge more location-based Zones whose timestamps agree since 1970.
++    Move some backward-compatibility links to 'backward'.
++    Rename Pacific/Enderbury to Pacific/Kanton.
++    Correct many pre-1993 transitions in Malawi, Portugal, etc.
++    zic now creates each output file or link atomically.
++    zic -L no longer omits the POSIX TZ string in its output.
++    zic fixes for truncation and leap second table expiration.
++    zic now follows POSIX for TZ strings using all-year DST.
++    Fix some localtime crashes and bugs in obscure cases.
++    zdump -v now outputs more-useful boundary cases.
++    tzfile.5 better matches a draft successor to RFC 8536.
++    A new file SECURITY.
++
++    This release is prompted by recent announcements by Jordan and Samoa.
++    It incorporates many other changes that had accumulated since 2021a.
++    However, it omits most proposed changes that merged all Zones
++    agreeing since 1970, as concerns were raised about doing too many of
++    these changes at once.  It does keeps some of these changes in the
++    interest of making tzdb more equitable one step at a time; see
++    "Merge more location-based Zones" below.
++
++  Changes to future timestamps
++
++    Jordan now starts DST on February's last Thursday.
++    (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
++
++    Samoa no longer observes DST.  (Thanks to Geoffrey D. Bennett.)
++
++  Changes to zone name
++
++    Rename Pacific/Enderbury to Pacific/Kanton.  When we added
++    Enderbury in 1993, we did not know that it is uninhabited and that
++    Kanton (population two dozen) is the only inhabited location in
++    that timezone.  The old name is now a backward-compatility link.
++
++  Changes to past timestamps
++
++    Correct many pre-1993 transitions, fixing entries originally
++    derived from Shanks, Whitman, and Mundell.  The fixes include:
++      - Barbados: standard time was introduced in 1911, not 1932; and
++	DST was observed in 1942-1944
++      - Cook Islands: In 1899 they switched from east to west of GMT,
++	celebrating Christmas for two days.  They (and Niue) switched
++	to standard time in 1952, not 1901.
++      - Guyana: corrected LMT for Georgetown; the introduction of
++	standard time in 1911, not 1915; and corrections to 1975 and
++	1992 transitions
++      - Kanton: uninhabited before 1937-08-31
++      - Niue: only observed -11:20 from 1952 through 1964, then went to
++        -11 instead of -11:30
++      - Portugal: DST was observed in 1950
++      - Tonga: corrected LMT; the introduction of standard time in 1945,
++        not 1901; and corrections to the transition from +12:20 to +13
++        in 1961, not 1941
++    Additional fixes to entries in the 'backzone' file include:
++      - Enderbury: inhabited only 1860/1885 and 1938-03-06/1942-02-09
++      - The Gambia: 1933 and 1942 transitions
++      - Malawi: several 1911 through 1925 transitions
++      - Sierra Leone: several 1913 through 1941 transitions, and DST
++	was NOT observed in 1957 through 1962
++    (Thanks to P Chan, Michael Deckers, Alexander Krivenyshev and
++    Alois Treindl.)
++
++    Merge more location-based Zones whose timestamps agree since 1970,
++    as pre-1970 timestamps are out of scope.  This is part of a
++    process that has been ongoing since 2013.  This does not affect
++    post-1970 timestamps, and timezone historians who build with 'make
++    PACKRATDATA=backzone' should see no changes to pre-1970 timestamps.
++    When merging, keep the most-populous location's data, and move
++    data for other locations to 'backzone' with a backward
++    link in 'backward'.  For example, move America/Creston data to
++    'backzone' with a link in 'backward' from America/Phoenix because
++    the two timezones' timestamps agree since 1970; this change
++    affects some pre-1968 timestamps in America/Creston because
++    Creston and Phoenix disagreed before 1968.  The affected Zones
++    are Africa/Accra, America/Atikokan, America/Blanc-Sablon,
++    America/Creston, America/Curacao, America/Nassau,
++    America/Port_of_Spain, Antarctica/DumontDUrville, and
++    Antarctica/Syowa.
++
++  Changes to maintenance procedure
++
++    The new file SECURITY covers how to report security-related bugs.
++
++    Several backward-compatibility links have been moved to the
++    'backward' file.  These links, which range from Africa/Addis_Ababa
++    to Pacific/Saipan, are only for compatibility with now-obsolete
++    guidelines suggesting an entry for every ISO 3166 code.
++    The intercontinental convenience links Asia/Istanbul and
++    Europe/Nicosia have also been moved to 'backward'.
++
++  Changes to code
++
++    zic now creates each output file or link atomically,
++    possibly by creating a temporary file and then renaming it.
++    This avoids races where a TZ setting would temporarily stop
++    working while zic was installing a replacement file or link.
++
++    zic -L no longer omits the POSIX TZ string in its output.
++    Starting with 2020a, zic -L truncated its output according to the
++    "Expires" directive or "#expires" comment in the leapseconds file.
++    The resulting TZif files omitted daylight saving transitions after
++    the leap second table expired, which led to far less-accurate
++    predictions of times after the expiry.  Although future timestamps
++    cannot be converted accurately in the presence of leap seconds, it
++    is more accurate to convert near-future timestamps with a few
++    seconds error than with an hour error, so zic -L no longer
++    truncates output in this way.
++
++    Instead, when zic -L is given the "Expires" directive, it now
++    outputs the expiration by appending a no-change entry to the leap
++    second table.  Although this should work well with most TZif
++    readers, it does not conform to Internet RFC 8536 and some pickier
++    clients (including tzdb 2017c through 2021a) reject it, so
++    "Expires" directives are currently disabled by default.  To enable
++    them, set the EXPIRES_LINE Makefile variable.  If a TZif file uses
++    this new feature it is marked with a new TZif version number 4,
++    a format intended to be documented in a successor to RFC 8536.
++
++    zic -L LEAPFILE -r @LO no longer generates an invalid TZif file
++    that omits leap second information for the range LO..B when LO
++    falls between two leap seconds A and B.  Instead, it generates a
++    TZif version 4 file that represents the previously-missing
++    information.
++
++    The TZif reader now allows the leap second table to begin with a
++    correction other than -1 or +1, and to contain adjacent
++    transitions with equal corrections.  This supports TZif version 4.
++
++    The TZif reader now lets leap seconds occur less than 28 days
++    apart.  This supports possible future TZif extensions.
++
++    Fix bug that caused 'localtime' etc. to crash when TZ was
++    set to a all-year DST string like "EST5EDT4,0/0,J365/25" that does
++    not conform to POSIX but does conform to Internet RFC 8536.
++
++    Fix another bug that caused 'localtime' etc. to crash when TZ was
++    set to a POSIX-conforming but unusual TZ string like
++    "EST5EDT4,0/0,J365/0", where almost all the year is DST.
++
++    Fix yet another bug that caused 'localtime' etc. to mishandle slim
++    TZif files containing leap seconds after the last explicit
++    transition in the table, or when handling far-future timestamps
++    in slim TZif files lacking leap seconds.
++
++    Fix localtime misbehavior involving positive leap seconds.
++    This change affects only behavior for "right" system time,
++    which contains leap seconds, and only if the UT offset is
++    not a multiple of 60 seconds when a positive leap second occurs.
++    (No such timezone exists in tzdb, luckily.)  Without the fix,
++    the timestamp was ambiguous during a positive leap second.
++    With the fix, any seconds occurring after a positive leap second
++    and within the same localtime minute are counted through 60, not
++    through 59; their UT offset (tm_gmtoff) is the same as before.
++    Here is how the fix affects timestamps in a timezone with UT
++    offset +01:23:45 (5025 seconds) and with a positive leap second at
++    1972-06-30 23:59:60 UTC (78796800):
++
++	time_t    without the fix      with the fix
++	78796800  1972-07-01 01:23:45  1972-07-01 01:23:45 (leap second)
++	78796801  1972-07-01 01:23:45  1972-07-01 01:23:46
++	...
++	78796815  1972-07-01 01:23:59  1972-07-01 01:23:60
++	78796816  1972-07-01 01:24:00  1972-07-01 01:24:00
++
++    Fix an unlikely bug that caused 'localtime' etc. to misbehave if
++    civil time changes a few seconds before time_t wraps around, when
++    leap seconds are enabled.
++
++    Fix bug in zic -r; in some cases, the dummy time type after the
++    last time transition disagreed with the TZ string, contrary to
++    Internet RFC 8563 section 3.3.
++
++    Fix a bug with 'zic -r @X' when X is a negative leap second that
++    has a nonnegative correction.  Without the fix, the output file
++    was truncated so that X appeared to be a positive leap second.
++    Fix a similar, even-less-likely bug when truncating at a positive
++    leap second that has a nonpositive correction.
++
++    zic -r now reports an error if given rolling leap seconds, as this
++    usage has never generally worked and is evidently unused.
++
++    zic now generates a POSIX-conforming TZ string for TZif files
++    where all-year DST is predicted for the indefinite future.
++    For example, for all-year Eastern Daylight Time, zic now generates
++    "XXX3EDT4,0/0,J365/23" where it previously generated
++    "EST5EDT,0/0,J365/25" or "".  (Thanks to Michael Deckers for
++    noting the possibility of POSIX conformance.)
++
++    zic.c no longer requires sys/wait.h (thanks to spazmodius for
++    noting it wasn't needed).
++
++    When reading slim TZif files, zdump no longer mishandles leap
++    seconds on the rare platforms where time_t counts leap seconds,
++    fixing a bug introduced in 2014g.
++
++    zdump -v now outputs timestamps at boundaries of what localtime
++    and gmtime can represent, instead of the less-useful timestamps
++    one day after the minimum and one day before the maximum.
++    (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for prototype code, and to Manuela
++    Friedrich for debugging help.)
++
++    zdump's -c and -t options are now consistently inclusive for the
++    lower time bound and exclusive for the upper.  Formerly they were
++    inconsistent.  (Confusion noted by Martin Burnicki.)
++
++  Changes to build procedure
++
++    You can now compile with -DHAVE_MALLOC_ERRNO=0 to port to
++    non-POSIX hosts where malloc doesn't set errno.
++    (Problem reported by Jan Engelhardt.)
++
++  Changes to documentation
++
++    tzfile.5 better matches a draft successor to RFC 8536
++    <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-murchison-rfc8536bis/01/>.
