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,

December 18, 2007 Dear Madam, dear Sir, the portaudit database is very small: >portaudit -F auditfile.tbz 100% of 5688 B 9737 Bps New database installed. > In addition, portaudit does not complain about what it did complain a few days ago. It seems to me that the database is truncated. By the way: How do I post to a mailing list without being later spammed by the

Hello, One of my machines I got a report about 3 vulnerable packages (php4, ruby, openssl) in tomorrows security run output, but in today's security run output all of them disappeared, but nobody upgraded or removed the affected packages. I reinstalled portaudit, refreshd its database, but now it reports 0 affected pakages. The pkg_info command lists that three packages, so they are

Hello! Yesterday portaudit notified me about squid's vulnerability, but today it didn't (despite I haven't upgraded squid). This has attracted my attention, so I've compared yesterday's and today's auditfile.tbz: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 29875 Sep 6 15:40 auditfile.tbz vs. -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5685 Sep 7 10:11 auditfile.tbz I don't see commits to

Greetings, I'm a little curious about the way FORBIDDEN knob is used in ports system. Traditionally, we use it to mark a port which have known security issue, with the new vuxml mechanism, are we still doing the same thing when necessary? Or, only the "critical" ones, for example, remote exploitable buffer overruns, etc? If the second assumption (only critical ones are marked

Why wasn't there a FreeBSD security alert for Kerberos 5? Does FreeBSD use the MIT implementation? I got an email from CERT about this.

Hello All, I'd like to bring to your attention the Vulnerabilities and eXposures Markup Language (VuXML) and associated resources. VuXML is a markup language designed for the documentation of security issues within a single package collection. Since about February of this year, we have been diligently documenting vulnerabilities in FreeBSD and the FreeBSD Ports Collection using VuXML. The

Hi, FYI, Red Hat released an advisory today about a vulnerability in Ruby. So far it doesn't appear in the VuXML, but am I correct in presuming it will soon? https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0604.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3694 cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national

-----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

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

There's been an ongoing discussion (started by Colin Percival's recent work on nologin) about environment-poisoning attacks via "login -p". I thought I saw a way to address this, but the more I learn, the uglier this looks. Maybe some of the good folks who read freebsd-security can puzzle this one out: Problem: login -p can be used to propagate environment flags in order to

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

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.
