A serious security problem affecting FreeBSD 2.1.6 and
|
|
earlier systems was found. The problem has been corrected
|
|
within the -stable, -current, and RELENG_2_2 source trees.
|
|
As an additional precaution, FreeBSD 2.1.6 is no longer
|
|
available from the FTP distribution sites. An update release
|
|
(provisionally "FreeBSD 2.1.7") is expected shortly. You can
|
|
