FreeBSD Security Notice FreeBSD-SN-02:06


=============================================================================
FreeBSD-SN-02:06                                              Security Notice
                                                          The FreeBSD Project

Topic:          security issues in ports
Announced:      2002-10-10

I.   Introduction

Several ports in the FreeBSD Ports Collection are affected by security
issues.  These are listed below with references and affected versions.
All versions given refer to the FreeBSD port/package version numbers.
The listed vulnerabilities are not specific to FreeBSD unless
otherwise noted.

These ports are not installed by default, nor are they ``part of
FreeBSD'' as such.  The FreeBSD Ports Collection contains thousands of
third-party applications in a ready-to-install format.  FreeBSD makes
no claim about the security of these third-party applications.  See
<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/ports/> for more information about the
FreeBSD Ports Collection.

II.  Ports

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Port name:      apache13, apache13+ipv6, apache13-fp, apache13-modssl and
                apache13-ssl 
Status:         Fixed (apache13, apache13+ipv6, apache13-fp and apache13-modssl)
                Not fixed (apache13-ssl)

FreeBSD 4.7 Now Available


I am happy to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, the
latest release of the FreeBSD -STABLE development branch.  Since
FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE in June 2002, we have updated a number of software
programs in the base system, such as GCC and sendmail.  Several new
drivers have been added for USB devices and disk controllers.  We have
also incorporated updates for XFree86 and our Linux compatibility
libraries.

FreeBSD 4.7 also incorporates all of the security and bug fixes from
4.6.2 (released in August 2002), including several ATA-related
bugfixes, updates for OpenSSL and OpenSSH, and fixes to address
several security advisories.

For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the
release notes and errata list, available here:

BTW: Issue 2 and Issue 4 are in very limited supply, so if you are
interested in the back issues, you need to order today. I expect they
could be gone by the time this e-mail gets fully delivered, so it's first
come first served.  When they are out, there aren't anymore.

  Issue 2 - http://www.bsdmall.com/dnmagis2jan.html
