Introduction</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>This errata document contains ``late-breaking news''
|
|
about FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE. Before installing this version,
|
|
it is important to consult this document to learn about any
|
|
post-release discoveries or problems that may already have
|
|
been found and fixed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any version of this errata document actually distributed
|
|
with the release (for example, on a CDROM distribution)
|
|
will be out of date by definition, but other copies are
|
|
kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the
|
|
``current errata'' for this release. These other copies of
|
|
the errata are located at <a
|
|
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/"
|
|
target="_top">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/</a>, plus
|
|
any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this
|
|
location.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Source and binary snapshots of FreeBSD 5-CURRENT also
|
|
contain up-to-date copies of this document (as of the time
|
|
of the snapshot).</p>

<p>Remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in <b
|
|
class="APPLICATION">CVS</b> could allow an attacker to
|
|
execute arbitrary comands on a CVS server. More details can
|
|
be found in security advisory <a

|
|
|
|
<p>A timing-based attack on <b
|
|
class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b>, could allow a very
|
|
powerful attacker access to plaintext under certain
|
|
circumstances. This problem has been corrected in FreeBSD
|
|
5.0-CURRENT with an upgrade to <b
|
|
class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b> 0.9.7. On supported
|
|
security fix branches, this problem has been corrected with
|
|
the import of <b class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b> 0.9.6i.
|
|
See security advisory <a

target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:02</a> for more details.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It may be possible to recover the shared secret key used
|
|
by the implementation of the ``syncookies'' feature. This
|
|
reduces its effectiveness in dealing with TCP SYN flood
|
|
denial-of-service attacks. Workaround information and fixes
|
|
are given in security advisory <a

|
|
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:03</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Due to buffer overflows in header parsing in <b
|
|
class="APPLICATION">sendmail</b>, a remote attacker can
|
|
create a specially-crafted message that may cause <a
|
|

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

|
|

<p>The XDR encoder/decoder does incorrect bounds-checking,

partition to be overwritten. This usually prevents the use
|
|
of <tt class="COMMAND">disklabel -B</tt> to update the boot
|
|
blocks on a disk because the <tt class="LITERAL">a</tt>
|
|
partition overlaps the space where the boot blocks are

fails to respect the larger sector size and cannot dump the

instance, possible to dump a file system stored in a

regular file:</p>
