Introduced as pfSense 2.3 Update 1, this is a small patch that only fixes the recently discovered security issues in the Network Time Protocol (NTP) packages, upgrading them from version 4.2.8p6 to 4.2.8p7, and it shouldn’t be confused with pfSense 2.3.1, which will be released in the coming weeks as the first maintenance build.
