|
||||
|
||||
<p>(20 May 2004) A security problem was discovered in <b class="APPLICATION">CVS</b> but
|
||||
the release notes did not state that since it was very late in the release cycle. FreeBSD
|
||||
4.10-RELEASE includes a fix for it and is not vulnerable. For the details, see the
|
||||
security advisory <a
|
||||
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-04:10.cvs.asc"
|
||||
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-04:10</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(23 May 2004) As a side effect of closing a security problem related to <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=msync&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE">
|
||||
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">msync</span>(2)</span></a>, the
|
||||
<var class="LITERAL">MS_INVALIDATE</var> flag no longer guarantees that all pages in the
|
||||
range are invalidated. This can cause problems when pages are backed by a remote file
|
||||
(e.g. via NFS) where other machines can write to the permanent storage since the local
|
||||
pages not being invalidated might then contain stale data. The security problem being
|
||||
addressed is a strictly local exploit, and only allows a local user to block the writing
|
||||
of data to a file under certain circumstances. Users who require the old semantics of
|
||||
<var class="LITERAL">MS_INVALIDATE</var> and are not concerned with the security issue
|
||||
being fixed can set the <var class="LITERAL">vm.old_msync</var> sysctl to <var
|
||||
class="LITERAL">1</var> which will revert to the old (insecure) behavior.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(25 May 2004) The <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=twe&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE">
|
||||
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">twe</span>(4)</span></a> driver
|
||||
was recently updated by the vendor. Problems have been reported in rare circumstances
|
||||
under conditions that are hard to reproduce. Work is ongoing to isolate these problems
|
||||
and determine their source.</p>

<h3 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN18" name="AEN18">1.1 About FreeBSD</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite for Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen
|
||||
``x86'' based PC hardware and Compaq (formerly DEC) Alpha computers. Versions for the
|
||||
IA64, PowerPC, and Sparc64 architectures are currently under development as well. FreeBSD
|
||||
works with a wide variety of peripherals and configurations and can be used for
|
||||
everything from software development to games to Internet Service Provision.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need to run such a system, including
|
||||
full source code for the kernel and all utilities in the base distribution. With the
|
||||
source distribution installed, you can literally recompile the entire system from scratch
|
||||
with one command, making it ideal for students, researchers, or users who simply want to
|
||||
see how it all works.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A large collection of third-party ported software (the ``Ports Collection'') is also
|
||||
provided to make it easy to obtain and install all your favorite traditional UNIX
|
||||
utilities for FreeBSD. Each ``port'' consists of a set of scripts to retrieve, configure,
|
||||
build, and install a piece of software, with a single command. Over 10,500 ports, from
|
||||
editors to programming languages to graphical applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and
|
||||
comprehensive operating environment that extends far beyond what's provided by many
|
||||
commercial versions of UNIX. Most ports are also available as pre-compiled ``packages'',
|
||||
which can be quickly installed from the installation program.</p>

<p>FreeBSD may be obtained in a variety of ways. This section focuses on those ways that

are primarily useful for obtaining a complete FreeBSD distribution, rather than updating

an existing installation.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD -RELEASE distributions may be ordered on CDROM or DVD from several publishers.
|
||||
This is frequently the most convenient way to obtain FreeBSD for new installations, as it
|
||||
provides a convenient way to quickly reinstall the system if necessary. Some
|
||||
distributions include some of the optional, precompiled ``packages'' from the FreeBSD
|
||||
Ports Collection.</p>

<p>You can use FTP to retrieve FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from <a

official FreeBSD release site, or any of its ``mirrors''.</p>

|
||||
href="http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/" target="_top">http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/</a>
|
||||
Web pages. Finding a close (in networking terms) mirror from which to download the
|

distribution is highly recommended.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Additional mirror sites are always welcome. Contact <code class="EMAIL"><<a

more details on becoming an official mirror site.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Mirrors generally contain the floppy disk images necessary to begin an installation,
|
||||
as well as the distribution files needed for the install process itself. Many mirrors
|
||||
also contain the ISO images necessary to create a CDROM of a FreeBSD release.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always valued--please do not
|
||||
hesitate to report any problems you may find. Bug reports with attached fixes are of
|
||||
course even more welcome.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with Internet mail
|
||||
connectivity is to use the <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=send-pr&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE">
|
||||
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">send-pr</span>(1)</span></a>
|
||||
command or use the Web form at <a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html"
|
||||
target="_top">http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html</a>. ``Problem Reports'' (PRs)
|
||||
submitted in this way will be filed and their progress tracked; the FreeBSD developers
|
||||
will do their best to respond to all reported bugs as soon as possible. <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi" target="_top">A list of all active

manual pages, accessed through the <a

information on the different commands and APIs available to the FreeBSD user.</p>
|

<p>In some cases, manual pages are written to give information on particular topics.

<p>A bug with the System V Shared Memory interface (specifically the <a

|

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">shmat</span>(2)</span></a> system
|
||||
call) has been fixed. This bug can cause a shared memory segment to reference unallocated
|
||||
kernel memory. In turn, this can permit a local attacker to gain unauthorized access to
|
||||
parts of kernel memory, possibly resulting in disclosure of sensitive information, bypass
|
||||
of access control mechanisms, or privilege escalation. More details can be found in

|

|

<p>A potential low-bandwidth denial-of-service attack against the FreeBSD TCP stack has

<p>A bug in <b class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b>'s SSL/TLS ChangeCipherSpec message

<h2 class="SECT1"><a id="UPGRADE" name="UPGRADE">3 Upgrading from previous releases of
|
||||
FreeBSD</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, you generally will have three
|
||||
options:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Using the binary upgrade option of <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysinstall&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE">
|
||||
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">sysinstall</span>(8)</span></a>.
|
||||
This option is perhaps the quickest, although it presumes that your installation of
|
||||
FreeBSD uses no special compilation options.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Performing a complete reinstall of FreeBSD. Technically, this is not an upgrading
|
||||
method, and in any case is usually less convenient than a binary upgrade, in that it
|
||||
requires you to manually backup and restore the contents of <tt
|
||||
class="FILENAME">/etc</tt>. However, it may be useful in cases where you want (or need)
|
||||
to change the partitioning of your disks.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>From source code in <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/src</tt>. This route is more flexible,
|
||||
but requires more disk space, time, and technical expertise. More information can be
|
||||
found in the <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html"
|
||||
target="_top">``Using <tt class="COMMAND">make world</tt>''</a> section of the <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/" target="_top">FreeBSD
|
||||
Handbook</a>. Upgrading from very old versions of FreeBSD may be problematic; in cases
|
||||
like this, it is usually more effective to perform a binary upgrade or a complete
|
||||
reinstall.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
<p>Please read the <tt class="FILENAME">INSTALL.TXT</tt> file for more information,
|
||||
preferably <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">before</i></span> beginning an
|
||||
upgrade. If you are upgrading from source, please be sure to read <tt
|
||||
class="FILENAME">/usr/src/UPDATING</tt> as well.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, if you want to use one of various means to track the -STABLE or -CURRENT
|
||||
branches of FreeBSD, please be sure to consult the <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html"

|

<p>A potential denial of service in <b class="APPLICATION">BIND</b> has been fixed. For
|

more information, see security advisory <a

|
||||
|
||||
<p>A bug with the System V Shared Memory interface (specifically the <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=shmat&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE">
|
||||
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">shmat</span>(2)</span></a> system
|
||||
call) has been fixed. This bug can cause a shared memory segment to reference unallocated
|
||||
kernel memory. In turn, this can permit a local attacker to gain unauthorized access to
|
||||
parts of kernel memory, possibly resulting in disclosure of sensitive information, bypass
|
||||
of access control mechanisms, or privilege escalation. More details can be found in
|
||||
security advisory <a
|
||||
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-04:02.shmat.asc"
|

target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-04:02</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A potential low-bandwidth denial-of-service attack against the FreeBSD TCP stack has
|
||||
been prevented by limiting the number of out-of-sequence TCP segments that can be held at
|
||||
one time. More details can be found in security advisory <a
|
||||
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp.asc"
|
||||
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-04:04</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A bug in <b class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b>'s SSL/TLS ChangeCipherSpec message
|
||||
processing could result in a null pointer dereference, has been fixed. This could allow a
|
||||
remote attacker to crash an <b class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b>-using application and
|
||||
cause a denial-of-service on the system. More details can be found in security advisory
|
||||
<a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-04:05.openssl.asc"
|
||||
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-04:05</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Two programming errors in <b class="APPLICATION">CVS</b> have been fixed. They allow a
|
||||
server to overwrite arbitrary files on the client, and a client to read arbitrary files
|
||||
on the server when accessing remote CVS repositories. More details can be found in
|
||||
security advisory <a

|

|

<p>A bugfix for <b class="APPLICATION">Heimdal</b> rectifies a problem in which it would

not perform adequate checking of authentication across autonomous realms. For more

information, see security advisory <a

<h2 class="SECT1"><a id="UPGRADE" name="UPGRADE">3 Upgrading from previous releases of
|
||||
FreeBSD</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, you generally will have three
|
||||
options:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Using the binary upgrade option of <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysinstall&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE">
|
||||
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">sysinstall</span>(8)</span></a>.
|
||||
This option is perhaps the quickest, although it presumes that your installation of
|
||||
FreeBSD uses no special compilation options.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Performing a complete reinstall of FreeBSD. Technically, this is not an upgrading
|
||||
method, and in any case is usually less convenient than a binary upgrade, in that it
|
||||
requires you to manually backup and restore the contents of <tt
|
||||
class="FILENAME">/etc</tt>. However, it may be useful in cases where you want (or need)
|
||||
to change the partitioning of your disks.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>From source code in <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/src</tt>. This route is more flexible,
|
||||
but requires more disk space, time, and technical expertise. More information can be
|
||||
found in the <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html"
|
||||

|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/" target="_top">FreeBSD
|
||||
Handbook</a>. Upgrading from very old versions of FreeBSD may be problematic; in cases
|
||||
like this, it is usually more effective to perform a binary upgrade or a complete
|
||||
reinstall.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
<p>Please read the <tt class="FILENAME">INSTALL.TXT</tt> file for more information,
|
||||
preferably <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">before</i></span> beginning an
|
||||
upgrade. If you are upgrading from source, please be sure to read <tt
|
||||
class="FILENAME">/usr/src/UPDATING</tt> as well.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, if you want to use one of various means to track the -STABLE or -CURRENT
|
||||
branches of FreeBSD, please be sure to consult the <a
|
||||
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html"
