2 Security Advisories

-

No active security advisories.

+

A buffer overflow in header parsing exists in older + versions of sendmail. It could + allow a remote attacker to create a specially-crafted + message that may cause + sendmail(8) to + execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user + running it, typically root. More + information, including pointers to patches, can be found in + security advisory FreeBSD-SA-03:07. 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 sendmail. + However, these changes may not otherwise have been noted in + the release documentation.

3 Late-Breaking News

-

No news.

+

Some parts of the documentation may incorrectly give the + release date of FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE as March 2003, rather + than April 2003.

+ +

FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE restores the ability to install from + the installation media to a + mly(4) device. + (This capability was broken in FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.)

+ +

After installing GNOME, the + default terminal font might be garbled. If this is the + case, install the x11-fonts/bitstream-vera port, then + restart GNOME. 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.

+ +

Due to space limitations, the + awi(4) driver has + been removed from the kernel used on the 1.44MB kern.flp i386 boot floppy. Because no + module is available for this driver in FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, + this means that it is generally not possible to install + FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE over an + awi(4) network.
