The file
<a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/ERRATA.TXT">
ERRATA.TXT</a> contains post-release ERRATA for 2.2.5 and should always
be considered the definitive place to look *first* before reporting
a problem with this release. This file will also be periodically
updated as new issues are reported so even if you've checked this
file recently, check it again before filing a bug report. Any
changes to this file are also automatically emailed to:
freebsd-stable@freebsd.org
For 2.2.5 security advisories, see:
<a href="ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/">ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/</a>
For the latest information (note the URL carefully - this is NOT
ftp.freebsd.org).
---- Security Advisories:
Current active security advisories for 2.2.5: One
o FreeBSD-SA-97:05 (available from <a href="ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/">
ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/</a>) - security compromise via open().
Patches available in <a href="ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/patches/SA-97:05/">
ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/patches/SA-97:05/</a>
You may also simply remove /dev/io as a quick work-around if you're
not running an X server or some other specialized utility which
requires access to the I/O instructions.
---- System Update Information:
o The appletalk stack was broken in 2.2.5 and, if you plan to run
appletalk, you should apply the following patch:
<a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/updates/atalk.diff.2.2">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/updates/atalk.diff.2.2</a>
o The line printer spooler lpd will, when sending jobs to remote
printers, kill the child process sending to the remote after the
timeout specified in the `ct' capability (2 minutes by default).
For a fix, please upgrade the lpd subsystem to 2.2-stable. As a
workaround, increase the `ct' capability to an unreasonably large
number of seconds (like 3600).
o Intel "F00F bug" enables users to hang machines with Pentium processors
if they have access to the machine and can execute programs.
Fix: Update to the 2.2-stable version of the kernel or apply the patch
found in:
<a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/updates/f00f.diff.2.2">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/updates/f00f.diff.2.2</a>
