For the latest information (note the URL carefully - this is NOT

|
|
---- Security Advisories:
|
|
|
|
Current active security advisories for 2.2.5: One
|
|
|
|
o <a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-97:05/">FreeBSD-SA-97:05</a> (available from <a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT</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:
|
|
<strong>o The appletalk stack was broken in 2.2.5.</strong>
|
|
|
|
Fix: If you plan to run appletalk, you should apply the following patch:
|
|
|
|
<a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/updates/2.2.5-RELEASE/atalk.diff.2.2.gz">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/updates/2.2.5-RELEASE/atalk.diff.2.2.gz</a>
|
|
|
|
<strong>
|
|
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).</strong>
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
<strong>
|
|
o Intel "F00F bug" enables users to hang machines with Pentium processors
|
|
if they have access to the machine and can execute programs.</strong>
|
|
|
|
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/updates/2.2.5-RELEASE/f00f.diff.2.2.gz">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/updates/2.2.5-RELEASE/f00f.diff.2.2.gz</a>
|
|
|
|
<strong>
|
|
o A bug in the ipfw code exists where using the "reset tcp" firewall command
|
|
causes the kernel to write ethernet headers onto random kernel stack
|
|
locations.</strong>
|
|
|
|
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/updates/2.2.5-RELEASE/ipfw.diff.gz">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/updates/2.2.5-RELEASE/ipfw.diff.gz</a>
|
|
|
|
<strong>
|
|
o A bug in XF86Setup causes it to fail to create a symbolic link from
|
|
/usr/X11R6/bin/X to the right X server for your hardware if a link
|
|
does not already exist. When you type startx the following error is
|
|
displayed:
|
|
|
|
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" found in PATH</strong>
|
|
|
|
Fix: Execute the following commands (as root) and re-run XF86Setup.
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/X11R6/bin
|
|
# ln -s XF86_VGA16 X
|
|
|
|
If XF86Setup asks you if you want to use the existing XF86Config for
|
|
defaults choose no. When it asks you if you want to create an 'X'
|
|
link to the server choose yes.
|
|
|
|
<strong>
|
|
o A bug in the phase diagram implementation of user-level ppp causes
|
|
problems with some ppp implementations when shutting down the link.
|
|
The line will go dead, but the modem will not hang up unless done
|
|
manually using pppctl (or a switch).</strong>
|
|
|
|
Fix: A version of ppp derived from the -current sources is available from
|
|
<a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian/">http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian</a>
|
|
|
|
It should build on any version of FreeBSD from 2.0.5 onwards.
|
|
This code is available in the -current tree, but not (yet) in the
|
|
2.2-STABLE tree.
