Dear folks, I'm recently investigating large scale deployment and upgrading FreeBSD RELEASE. It's our tradition to bump "RELEASE-pN" after a security patch is applied, however, it seems that there is less method to determine whether the userland is patched, which is somewhat important for large site managements. So is "uname -sr" the only way to differencate the

Hello, The current png-1.2.5_4 port has no more vulnerability. It has been corrected by ache@FreeBSD.org yesterday. But when i try to install the updated port to remplace the vulnerable one this is what i am told : # make install ===> png-1.2.5_4 has known vulnerabilities: >> libpng denial-of-service. Reference:

Any reason why portaudit and its associated infrastructure was not announced to this list or security-notifications? I recently discovered it, and discovered the feature was added to bsd.port.mk in the beginning of feburary. Seeing as the security officer apparently (without announcement) no longer issues security notices (SNs) for ports, I am assuming that portaudit has replaced SNs entirely,

Attached is a security alert from Gentoo pertaining to clam antivirus. It seems that as of this morning, FreeBSD's ports still contain the affected version.

Hi Everyone, http://vuxml.freebsd.org/c4b025bb-f05d-11d8-9837-000c41e2cdad.html A critical vulnerability was found in lukemftpd, which shipped with some FreeBSD versions (4.7 and later). However, with the exception of FreeBSD 4.7, lukemftpd was not built and installed by default. So, unless you are running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE or specified WANT_LUKEMFTP when building FreeBSD from source, you

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Has anyone see this alert? http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/353352 It seems to work on Linux, but when I tried the proof of concept on 4.3.0,1 running 5.2 RELEASE, I couldn't get the X server to core dump or segmentation fault. So, it seems likely to me that FreeBSD is not vulnerable to this. Any other thoughts on this matter? John

Dear folks, It seems that doing bind() inside a jail (whose IP address is an outside address), will result in some wierd behavior, that the actual bind is done on the outside address. For example, binding to 127.0.0.1:6666 inside a jail addressed 192.168.1.1, will finally result in a bind to 192.168.1.1:6666. With this in mind, it is possible that some formerly secure configuration fail in jail

OK, an official OpenSSH advisory was released, see here: <URL: http://www.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-announce/2003-September/000063.html > The fix is currently in FreeBSD -CURRENT and -STABLE. It will be applied to the security branches as well today. Attached are patches: buffer46.patch -- For FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE and later buffer45.patch -- For FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE and

In FreeBSD 5.x only telnet/telnetd works 'out of box' with kerberos. Why ftp/ftpd, ssh/sshd and cvs do not support kerberos ? Thanks!

I think, there is a neat exploit in the phpbb2.0.8 because I found my home page defaced one dark morning. The patch for phpBB is here. http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php The excerpt of the log is attached.

Hello Everyone! It has been my pleasure and privilege to serve as the FreeBSD Security Officer for the past 3+ years. With the crucial support of the FreeBSD Security Team members, a lot has been accomplished: hundreds of security issues have been researched and tracked, with some resulting in security advisories and patches; software in the Ports Collection are updated more quickly

This affects only 3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1. The advice to leave PAM disabled is far from heartening, nor is the semi-lame blaming the PAM spec for implementation bugs. I happen to like OPIE for remote access. Subject: Portable OpenSSH Security Advisory: sshpam.adv This document can be found at: http://www.openssh.com/txt/sshpam.adv 1. Versions affected: Portable OpenSSH versions 3.7p1

Howdie, Is there a way to get the default BSD 5.3 openssh to compile against the MIT kerberos libraries? I have set NO_KERBEROS=yes in /etc/make.conf so that the heimdal kerberos is not built, and rebuilt world, then installed /usr/ports/security/krb5 and rebuilt world again. sshd is however not being built against MIT at all.
