! permit an attacker to hang sockets from remote.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- SECURITY FIX
! IP fragment assembly can bog the machine excessively and cause problems.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
! The readv(2) and writev(2) system calls would not accept a struct iovec
! with an iov_len of 0. This causes a db test in perl to fail.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- SECURITY FIX
! TCP/IP RST handling was too sloppy.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
! During bootup, kvm_mkdb may exit with the error "kvm_mkdb: cannot allocate
! memory".
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
! A problem with writing to NFS version 3 mounted filesystems from Solaris 7
! hosts exists. Attempts to create files will result in a error such as
! "Inappropriate file type or format".
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
! A problem with NFS version 3 mounts on big endian machines (m68k, sparc
! and powerpc) exists when mounting filesystems larger than 2gig. You
! can see evidence of the bug by running df(1) and checking for negative
! partition sizes.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- SECURITY FIX
! A security problem exists in the curses and ocurses libraries that affect
! setuid programs linked with -lcurses or -locurses.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
! Precompiled versions of libcurses and libocurses exist for the
! i386
! platform. Unpack it in /usr/lib.
!
!
!
- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
! A workaround for an xterm problem that causes vi to not
! restore the correct cursor position on exit.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
! Alternately, you can also download a pre-compiled terminfo file to be
! installed as /usr/share/misc/terminfo.db. For i386,
! alpha and mips, use the
!
! little endian version. For sparc, m68k and powerpc, use the
!
! big endian version.
!
!
!
- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
! userdir support was accidentally left out of httpd(8).
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- SECURITY FIX
! A remotely exploitable problem exists in bootpd(8). bootpd is disabled
! by default, but some people may actually be using it.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem, this is the
! second version of the patch.
!
!
!
- SECURITY FIX
! A remote machine lockup problem exists in the TCP decoding code.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
i386
!
! - SECURITY FIX
! This is another fix for a kernel crash caused by the
! crashme program.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
! The kernel was using a fixed and hard-coded location for the arguments
! vector passed from the /boot loader. This prevented
! /boot from placing the boot arguments vector at any
! other location, causing a kernel crash early in the autoconfiguration
! stage. In 2.5, the bootblocks will be modified to use a new location.
! Hence, if you wish old kernels to boot on a new bootblock, those
! kernels will only work if they were linked with this patch.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- SECURITY FIX
! i386 trace-trap handling when DDB was configured could cause a system
! crash.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
!
!
- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
! i386 installboot had a sign extention bug which prevented proper bootblock
! initialization when the root filesystem was placed beyond 4GB.
!
! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
! Unfortunately, updated 2.4 install floppies are not available. Just ensure
! that your root filesystem is below 4GB, for now.
