<p>This errata document contains “late-breaking news” about FreeBSD
|
|
7.4-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example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are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 7.4-STABLE also contain up-to-date copies of
|
|
this document (as of the time of the snapshot).</p>

Corrections</a></h2>

|
|
<p>A bug in <b class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b> that could cause it to parse past the end
|
|
of the message was found at the late stage of 7.4-RELEASE release process. The
|
|
7.4-RELEASE includes a fix for this issue by importing relevant parts from the OpenSSL
|
|
CVS. This could be triggered by an incorrectly formatted ClientHello SSL/TLS handshake
|
|
messages. The details can be found at <a
|
|
href="http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20110208.txt"
|
|
target="_top">http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20110208.txt</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The shared object version numbers of <b class="APPLICATION">libcrypto</b> and <b
|
|
class="APPLICATION">libssl</b> have been decreased from <tt class="LITERAL">6</tt> to <tt
|
|
class="LITERAL">5</tt>. These are accidentaly increased on 28 November, 2010 (r215997) as
|
|
OpenSSL 0.9.8p was merged. Note that this affects systems running 7-STABLE after that
|
|
date (after 7.3-RELEASE), not 7.3-RELEASE and the security branch. Also note that in
|
|
FreeBSD 7.4-RELEASE, the library files with the version number <tt class="LITERAL">6</tt>
|
|
are still provided as symbolic links to prevent binaries built in the time window with
|
|
the accidentaly increased version number from being broken after the system gets updated
|
|
to 7.4-RELEASE.</p>
