pfSense 2.3.2 Update 1 (2.3.2-p1) is here approximately two and a half months after the release of the initial build, namely pfSense 2.3.2, which brought over 70 improvements in various areas of the FreeBSD-based firewall distribution. It’s mostly a bug fix release, but some new features have been implemented as well. As you might imagine, the recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities, which were patched upstream in the OpenSSL 1.0.2j release, have also been affecting the pfSense firewall OS, which is based on FreeBSD. Therefore, pfSense 2.3.2-p1 patches them, along with several HyperV-related issues and numerous reported bugs that you can view in the changelog attached below.
