Similar descriptions are used for the other RELENG_4_X tags. If I specify RELENG_4 will cvsup also include RELENG_4_3 to RELENG_4_8? Sorry folks - I'm

There is a rather serious race with copyout() and process termination in -stable. sysctl_kern_proc() loops through the allproc list writing the results to user memory. If it stalls during the copyout (e.g. the user memory has to take a vm_fault) and the process is ripped out from under it it will go looping into never never land. The solution is very simple, simply

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
