similar to: seeding dev/random in 5.5

I was looking at the Sparc 64 4.7 or 4.8 port, wondering if its in any state to put on my Solaris v100. Just need the basics, eide, network, kbm,mouse, graphics (x). A bonus would be support for the lom (light out management) features and the flash card. Reason for change is I HOPE that the math (ssl) performance is better on FBSD, as well as I am just tired of keeping track of

Hi Colin! I would like to know, that these following "vulnerabilities" does affect FreeBSD's reliability? If the answer is "yes", what version of FreeBSD affected, when will be fixed, etc. http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/MOAB-12-01-2007.html http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/MOAB-10-01-2007.html Thank you! -- kobi

I got some weird mail back, claiming that my e-mail was blocked, w/o indicating what server was blocked, after the mail appeared in the mailing list. Is this some BS shakedown? I use postfix on a DSL line forwarding to earthlink, this is hardly something that should be rare in the BSD world... the mail appeared to come from a web mail server and the first link has the following lovely text:

Attempted to install dlint port. Only distribution site is www.domtools.com Email to 'content@domtools.com' and pab@domtools.com bounces (can't relay) Phone number missing on whois record. Fetch of tarball fails checksum (it delivers a generic 'web hosted search engine that just hijacked someone's domain' web page. Maybe domtools didn't renew? New web company

Gang, For months now, we're all seeing repeated bruteforce attempts on SSH. I've configured my pf install to ratelimit TCP connections to port 22 and to automatically add IP-addresses that connect too fast to a table that's filtered: table <lamers> { } block quick from <lamers> to any pass in quick on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port 22 modulate

Hi! Since linux-flashplugin7 r63 is vulnerable according to http://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/7c75d48c-429b-11db-afae-000c6ec775d9.html isn't www/linux-seamonkey vulerable, too (it seems to include 7 r25)?

Over the holidays, I intend to finally rid portable OpenSSH of the builtin entropy collection code. Here's what I intend to do: When init_rng is called, we'll check OpenSSL's RAND_status(). If this indicates that their PRNG is already seeded, we'll do nothing. This effectively detects platforms which have /dev/urandom (or similar) configured into OpenSSL. If OpenSSL isn't

Hello everyone! Could you tell me if FreeBSD supports memory page nulling when releasing it to prevent unauthorized access to data left in the page after it's allocated again. If it does, what sys calls etc provide that? IMHO this is an important issue when operating data with different sensivity levels. Thanks in advance. Nick

Hi security@ list, In my self written, large ipfw rule set, I had something that passed http to allow me to browse most but not all remote sites. For years I assumed the few sites I had difficulty with were cases pppoed MTU != 1500, from not having installed tcpmssd on my 4.*-RELEASE, but then running 6.1-RELEASE I realised that wasn't the problem. http://www.web.de Still failed, &

Tobez: no disrespect intended, obviously you saw a problem with the master sites for perl 5.8.7 and did what you could to help, and with your position as a maintainer, I know that the trust we have in you and your patches is well earned, so don't take this question as anything but my well-earned paranoia rearing its ugly head: Yes, building perl5.8.7 did seem like it had a lot of problems

Hi. I experimented a bit with collecting entropy from the time it takes for device_attach() to run (in CPU cycles). It seems that those times have enough variation that we can use it for entropy harvesting. It happens even before root is mounted, so pretty early. On the machine I'm testing it, which has minimal kernel plus NIC driver I see 75 device_attach() calls. I'm being very careful

I have just tarred up a snapshot and uploaded it to: http://www.mindrot.org/misc/openssh/openssh-SNAP-20000823.tar.gz The snapshot incorporates the last month's fixes and enhancements from the openssh-unix-dev mailing list and from the OpenBSD developers. In particular: - ssh-agent and ssh-add now handle DSA keys. NB. this does not interop with ssh.com's ssh-agent. (Markus Friedl)
