On the advisory about the realpath problem it says that it was corrected: RELENG_4_8 src/UPDATING 1.73.2.80.2.3 src/lib/libc/stdlib/realpath.c 1.9.14.1 src/sys/conf/newvers.sh 1.44.2.29.2.2 I ran cvsup and when I look at my src/lib/libc/stdlib/realpath.c I see

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. 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 Folks, Just a status on upcoming advisories. FreeBSD-SA-03:15.openssh This is in final review and should be released today. Fixes for this issue entered the tree on September 24. I apologize for the delay in getting this one out. FreeBSD-SA-03:16.filedesc A reference counting bug was discovered that could lead to kernel memory disclosure or a system panic.

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

It seems (at least for me) the patches on ftp.freebsd.org are out of date for the 03:12 security advisory (openssh). ftp2.freebsd.org has them fine. I'm wondering if this is a mirror issue or perhaps round-robin DNS problem? What compounds the issue is that right now the old openssh 3.7 patches are there (on ftp.freebsd.org), but not the 3.7.1 patches (which can be found on

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).

In http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200402260743.IAA18903 it seems RELENG_4 is vulnerable. Is there any work around to a system that has to have ports open ?

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!

Hello there. I tried make update using the following stable-supfile: *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix and my two nearest Russian CVS mirrors showed no changes in realpath. Heck, I downloaded the patch and said in /usr/src: # patch < realpath.patch so it was rejected. Then I looked into realpath.c's revision and

You've probably already seen the latest sendmail vulnerability. http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2003-September/010287.html I believe you can apply the following patch to any of the security branches: http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/src/contrib/sendmail/src/parseaddr.c.diff?r1=1.1.1.17&r2=1.1.1.18 Download the patch and: # cd /usr/src # patch -p1 < /path/to/patch #

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

First, I hope that this message is not considered flame bait. As someone who has used FreeBSD for for 5+ years now, I have a genuine interest in the integrity of our source code. Second, I hope that this message is not taken as any form of insult or finger pointing. Software without bugs does not exist, and I think we all know that. Acknowledging that point and working to mitigate the risks
