<p>No active security advisories.</p>
|
||||
<p>A buffer overflow in header parsing exists in older
|
||||
versions of <b class="APPLICATION">sendmail</b>. It could
|
||||
allow a remote attacker to create a specially-crafted
|
||||
message that may cause <a

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span

class="REFENTRYTITLE">sendmail</span>(8)</span></a> to
|
||||
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
|

running it, typically <tt class="USERNAME">root</tt>. More

information, including pointers to patches, can be found in

||||
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:07</a>. This problem was
|
||||
corrected for FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE with a vendor patch and
|
||||
was corrected for FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE with the import of a
|
||||
new version of <b class="APPLICATION">sendmail</b>.
|

However, these changes may not otherwise have been noted in

<p>No news.</p>
|

<p>Some parts of the documentation may incorrectly give the

release date of FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE as March 2003, rather
|

than April 2003.</p>
|

|

<p>FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE restores the ability to install from
|

the installation media to a <a

|

(This capability was broken in FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After installing <b class="APPLICATION">GNOME</b>, the
|
||||
default terminal font might be garbled. If this is the
|
||||
case, install the <tt
|
||||
class="FILENAME">x11-fonts/bitstream-vera</tt> port, then
|
||||
restart <b class="APPLICATION">GNOME</b>. The new fonts
|
||||
should take effect automatically. If they do not, edit your
|
||||
current gnome-terminal profile, and select the Bitstream
|
||||
Vera Sans Mono font.</p>

module is available for this driver in FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE,
