Revision 1.7, Wed Oct 14 18:59:37 2015 UTC (8 years, 7 months ago) by deraadt
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.6: +11 -0 lines 

Unfortunately, and sadly, the src.tar.gz file on the offical release CD
was created on the WRONG DAY, so it is from about 9 days after the
release tree was tagged (and, thus after post-5.8 tree unlock, when eager
developers swarm to do commits...)
A replacement tgz file is being made available in the 5.8 release directory,
as described in this errata...

&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
Fix multiple reliability and security issues in smtpd:<br>
<ul>
<li>local and remote users could make smtpd crash or stop serving requests.

    process could allow a local user to cause a crash or potentially
    execute arbitrary code.
<li>a use-after-free in the unprivileged, non-chrooted smtpd (lookup)
    process could allow a remote attacker to cause a crash or potentially
    execute arbitrary code.
<li>hardlink and symlink attacks allowed a local user to unset chflags or
    leak the first line of an arbitrary file.

A replacement file is available</a> in the 5.8 release directory with the name <b>cd-src.tar.gz</b>; due to size of the file, check local mirrors also.
