<p>This document lists errata items for FreeBSD
5.0-RELEASE, containing significant information
discovered after the release or too late in the release
cycle to be otherwise included in the release
documentation. This information includes security
advisories, as well as news relating to the software or
documentation that could affect its operation or
usability. An up-to-date version of this document should
always be consulted before installing this version of
FreeBSD.</p>
<p>This errata document for FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE will be

Introduction</a></h1>
<p>This errata document contains ``late-breaking news''
about FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE. Before installing this version,
it is important to consult this document to learn about any
post-release discoveries or problems that may already have
been found and fixed.</p>
<p>Any version of this errata document actually distributed
with the release (for example, on a CDROM distribution)
will be out of date by definition, but other copies are
kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the
``current errata'' for this release. These other copies of
the errata are located at <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/"
target="_top">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/</a>, plus
any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this
location.</p>
<p>Source and binary snapshots of FreeBSD 5-CURRENT also
contain up-to-date copies of this document (as of the time
of the snapshot).</p>
<p>For a list of all FreeBSD CERT security advisories, see

Security Advisories</a></h1>
<p>Remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in <b
class="APPLICATION">CVS</b> could allow an attacker to
execute arbitrary comands on a CVS server. More details can
be found in security advisory <a
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:01.cvs.asc"
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:01</a>.</p>
<p>A timing-based attack on <b
class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b>, could allow a very
powerful attacker access to plaintext under certain
circumstances. This problem has been corrected in FreeBSD
5.0-CURRENT with an upgrade to <b
class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b> 0.9.7. On supported
security fix branches, this problem has been corrected with
the import of <b class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b> 0.9.6i.
See security advisory <a
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:02.openssl.asc"
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:02</a> for more details.</p>
<p>It may be possible to recover the shared secret key used
by the implementation of the ``syncookies'' feature. This
reduces its effectiveness in dealing with TCP SYN flood
denial-of-service attacks. Workaround information and fixes
are given in security advisory <a
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:03.syncookies.asc"
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:03</a>.</p>
<p>Due to buffer overflows in header parsing in <b
class="APPLICATION">sendmail</b>, a remote attacker can
create a specially-crafted message that may cause <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sendmail&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">sendmail</span>(8)</span></a> to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running it, typically <tt class="USERNAME">root</tt>. More
information, including pointers to patches, can be found in
security advisories <a
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:04.sendmail.asc"
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:04</a> and <a
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:07.sendmail.asc"
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:07</a>.</p>
<p>The XDR encoder/decoder does incorrect bounds-checking,
which could allow a remote attacker to cause a
denial-of-service. For bugfix information, see security
advisory <a
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:05.xdr.asc"
target="_top">FreeBSD-SA-03:05</a>.</p>
<p><b class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b> has been found
vulnerable to two recently-disclosed attacks. Information
on workarounds and patches for supported security branches
is contained in security advisory <a
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:06.openssl.asc"

Late-Breaking News</a></h1>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN54"
name="AEN54">GEOM</a></h4>
<p>The <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=geom&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">geom</span>(4)</span></a>-based disk
partitioning code in the kernel will not allow an open
partition to be overwritten. This usually prevents the use
of <tt class="COMMAND">disklabel -B</tt> to update the boot
blocks on a disk because the <tt class="LITERAL">a</tt>
partition overlaps the space where the boot blocks are
stored. A suggested workaround is to boot from an alternate
disk, a CDROM, or a fixit floppy.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN61" name="AEN61"><a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dump&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">dump</span>(8)</span></a></a></h4>
<p>When using disk media with sector sizes larger than 512
bytes (for instance, <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gbde&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">gbde</span>(4)</span></a> encrypted
disks), the <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dump&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">dump</span>(8)</span></a> program
fails to respect the larger sector size and cannot dump the
partition. One possible workaround is to copy the entire
file system in raw format and dump the copy. It is, for
instance, possible to dump a file system stored in a
regular file:</p>
<pre class="SCREEN">
<tt class="PROMPT">#</tt> <tt
class="USERINPUT"><b>dd if=/dev/ad0s1d.bde of=/junk/ad0.dd bs=1m</b></tt>
<tt class="PROMPT">#</tt> <tt
class="USERINPUT"><b>dump 0f - /junk/ad0.dd | ...</b></tt>
</pre>
<p>A simpler workaround is to use <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tar&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">tar</span>(1)</span></a> or <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=cpio&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">cpio</span>(1)</span></a> to make
backup copies.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN84" name="AEN84"><a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mly&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">mly</span>(4)</span></a></a></h4>
<p>Hangs were reported during FreeBSD 5.0 snapshot
installations when installing to <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mly&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">mly</span>(4)</span></a>-supported
RAID arrays, in hardware configurations that appear to work
fine under FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. These problems have been
corrected in FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN92"
name="AEN92">NETNCP/Netware File System Support</a></h4>
<p>NETNCP and nwfs appear to be as-yet unadapted for KSE,
and hence not working. These have been fixed in FreeBSD
5.0-CURRENT.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN94" name="AEN94"><a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iir&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">iir</span>(4)</span></a> controller
appears to probe correctly, but finds no disk devices.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN102" name="AEN102"><a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=truss&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">truss</span>(1)</span></a> race
condition</a></h4>
<p><a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=truss&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">truss</span>(1)</span></a> appears to
contain a race condition during the start-up of debugging,
which can result in <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=truss&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">truss</span>(1)</span></a> failing to
attach to the process before it exists. The symptom is that
<a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=truss&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">truss</span>(1)</span></a> reports
that it cannot open the <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=procfs&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">procfs</span>(5)</span></a> node
supporting the process being debugged. A bug also appears
to exist wherein <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=truss&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">truss</span>(1)</span></a> will hang
if <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=execve&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">execve</span>(2)</span></a> returns
<tt class="LITERAL">ENOENT</tt> A further race appears to
exist in which <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=truss&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">truss</span>(1)</span></a> will
return ``<tt class="ERRORNAME">PIOCWAIT: Input/output
error</tt>'' occasionally on startup. The fix for this
sufficiently changes process execution handling that it has
been deferred until after 5.0.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN130" name="AEN130">Disk
Partitioning in Installer</a></h4>
<p>Some bugs have been reported in <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysinstall&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">sysinstall</span>(8)</span></a> disk
partitioning. One observed problem on the i386 is that <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysinstall&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">sysinstall</span>(8)</span></a>
cannot recalculate the free space left on a disk after
changing the type of an FDISK-type partition.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN138" name="AEN138">Stale
Documentation</a></h4>
<p>In some case, documentation (such as the FAQ or
Handbook) has not been updated to take into account FreeBSD
5.0-RELEASE features. Examples of areas where documentation
is still needed include <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gbde&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">gbde</span>(8)</span></a> and the new
``fast IPsec'' implementation.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN144" name="AEN144">SMB
File System</a></h4>
<p>Attempting to unmount smbfs shares may fail with ``<tt
class="ERRORNAME">Device busy</tt>'' errors even when the
mount-point is not really busy. A workaround is to keep
trying to unmount the share until it eventually succeeds.
This bug has been fixed in 5.0-CURRENT.</p>
<p>Forcefully unmounting (<tt class="COMMAND">umount
-f</tt>) smbfs shares may cause a kernel panic. This bug
has been fixed in 5.0-CURRENT.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN149" name="AEN149"><a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fstat&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">fstat</span>(2)</span></a></a></h4>
<p>When called on a connected socket file descriptor, <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fstat&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">fstat</span>(2)</span></a> is
supposed to return the number of bytes available to read in
the <tt class="VARNAME">st_size</tt> member of <tt
class="VARNAME">struct stat</tt>. However, <tt
class="VARNAME">st_size</tt> is always erroneously reported
as <tt class="LITERAL">0</tt> on TCP sockets. This bug has
been fixed in 5.0-CURRENT.</p>
<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN161" name="AEN161">Kernel
Event Queues</a></h4>
<p>The <a

number of bytes that are actually available. The <tt

<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN170" name="AEN170">POSIX
Named Semaphores</a></h4>
<p>FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE introduced support for POSIX named
semaphores but the implementation contains a critical bug
that causes <a

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">sem_open</span>(3)</span></a> to

<h4 class="BRIDGEHEAD"><a id="AEN178" name="AEN178"><tt
class="FILENAME">/dev/tty</tt> Permissions</a></h4>
<p>FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE has a minor bug in how the
permissions of <tt class="FILENAME">/dev/tty</tt> are
handled. This can be triggered by logging in as a non-<tt
class="USERNAME">root</tt>, non-<tt
class="GROUPNAME">tty</tt> group user, and using <a

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span

<p>5.0-RELEASE contains some bugs in its non-blocking RPC

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
