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

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!

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

Hello Everyone, ISC has released new versions of BIND 8 which address a remotely exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability that may allow an attacker to perform `negative cache poisoning'--- convincing a name server that certain RRs do not exist (even though they may). I do not know of any workaround at this time. I have committed fixes to the RELENG_5_1 and RELENG_4_9 security branches.

Hello Everyone, The branches supported by the FreeBSD Security Officer have been updated to reflect recent releases and EoL (end-of-life) events. The new list is below (and should appear at <URL: http://www.freebsd.org/security/ > soon). In particular, FreeBSD 4.6 and FreeBSD 5.0 have `expired'.

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:

In regards to FreeBSD-SA-03:05.xdr, does anyone know which static binaries or tools under /bin or /sbin actually use that problem code? The recent XDR fixes the xdrmem_getlong_aligned(), xdrmem_putlong_aligned(), xdrmem_getlong_unaligned(), xdrmem_putlong_unaligned(), xdrmem_getbytes(), and/or xdrmem_putbytes() functions, but it is difficult to know what uses these (going backwards manually).
