I'm sure it's something like that, that doesn't explain how it managed to turn up in a few commit messages a few hours apart and then never be seen again. A cvs commit mail sure doesn't use unusual characters in it's subject line. Also, I just noticed the box appearing again in the subject of a recent mail to -announce about that new sendmail exploit. Did you see it there Dan? But strangely not in the identical post to -security-announcements which I also got. Strange.... Andrew.

Background FreeBSD Security Advisory is a security notification from FreeBSD Security Officer when a critical vulnerability of FreeBSD is identified. II. Problem Description Each FreeBSD Security Advisory is given a number like FreeBSD-SA-03:01. `03' indicates the advisory is published in 2003, and `01' indicates the advisory is the 1st one in the year. Because the former consists of a number with two digits, a integer overflow may occur when (or after?, it depends) you will die of old age. FreeBSD Security Advisory has been published since 1996. III. Impact Y2K nightmare will strike back in 2100, and before that, the security officer will certainly be troubled in 2096. IV. Workaround There is no workaround. V. Solution Execute the following commands: a) for advisories issued before 2000: % cat /path/to/FreeBSD-SA-XX:XX.txt.asc\ | sed -e 's/FreeBSD-SA-\([0-9]*\):\([0-9]*\)/FreeBSD-SA-19\1:\2/g' b) for advisories issued between 2000 and 2099: % cat /path/to/FreeBSD-SA-XX:XX.txt.asc\ | sed -e 's/FreeBSD-SA-\([0-9]*\):\([0-9]*\)/FreeBSD-SA-20\1:\2/g' c) for advisories issued after 2100: % cat /path/to/FreeBSD-SA-XX:XX.txt.asc\ | sed -e 's/FreeBSD-SA-\([0-9]*\):\([0-9]*\)/FreeBSD-SA-21\1:\2/g' NOTE: Once you know when an advisory was issued, you may notice that the problem is insignificant. Yes, you are right. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+iXmUTyzT2CeTzy0RAubPAKC7sk17vqBCIxsWw30KczXiJ0wyuQCg2kEi Opx6aV/qNQWLoeAPDIuF+IA= =ETbS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Apr 2 15:01:56 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2EA0A37B401 for ; Wed, 2 Apr 2003 15:01:56 -0800 (PST) Received: from peitho.fxp.org (peitho.fxp.org [209.26.95.40]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 584C343FA3 for ; Wed, 2 Apr 2003 15:01:55 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bulldog@fxp.org) Received: by peitho.fxp.org (Postfix, from userid 1206) id DA0B5137AC; Wed, 2 Apr 2003 18:01:54 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 18:01:54 -0500 From: Bob Bomar To: Fabio Miranda Hamburger Message-ID: <20030402230154.GA23852@peitho.fxp.org> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="CE+1k2dSO48ffgeK" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i X-Mailer: socket() cc: chat@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Offtopic X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2003 23:01:56 -0000 --CE+1k2dSO48ffgeK Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Tue, Mar 18, 2003 at 01:20:27PM -0600, Fabio Miranda Hamburger wrote: > Hi, I have a couple of question: >=20 > 1.
