You can order your discs at http://www.freebsdmall.com. Many people asked if subscriptions from Walnut Creek CDROM / BSDi / Wind River will be continued. Yes, we will be continuing existing subscriptions. So if you received the FreeBSD 4.4 CDROMs, you should receive FreeBSD 4.5 as well. There are many FreeBSD products that are back on our website after being unavailable for the last eight months or so. These include FreeBSD t-shirts, polo-shirts, sweat-shirts, jackets, boxer shorts, bumper stickers, frisbees, case plates, mugs, baseball caps, mouse pads, and daemon beanies. The FreeBSD 4.5 CDROMs, the FreeBSD Handbook, and many of these other products will be available at BSDCon during the FreeBSD Documentation BOF* on Wednesday night. All proceeds from the evening's sales will be used to support the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Event: FreeBSD Documentation BOF Time: 8-9pm, Wednesday 2/13 Location: Twin Peaks Room, Cathedral Hill Hotel, 1101 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco You do not have to be a BSDCon attendee to come to the BOF (although we encourage you to attend the conference as well). Please come, participate, buy some discs & docs, and contribute to a good cause. -bob * BOF = Birds of a Feather Session bob@freebsdmall.com http://www.freebsdmall.com A Daemon on Every Desktop This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.

Topic: ucd-snmp/net-snmp remotely exploitable vulnerabilities Category: ports Module: net-snmp Announced: 2002-02-12 Credits: OUSPG: Oulu University Secure Programming Group http://www.ee.oulu.fi/research/ouspg/ Affects: Ports collection prior to the correction date Corrected: 2002-01-21 16:54:50 UTC FreeBSD only: NO CERT: CA-2002-03 I. Background The Net-SNMP (previously known as UCD-SNMP) package is a set of Simple Network Management Protocol tools, including an agent, library, and applications for generating and handling requests and traps. NOTE: The Net-SNMP port directory is ports/net/net-snmp, but the package name is still ucd-snmp. II. Problem Description The Net-SNMP port, versions prior to 4.2.3, contains several remotely exploitable vulnerabilities. The OUSPG has discovered vulnerabilities in many SNMPv1 implementations through their `PROTOS - Security Testing of Protocol Implementations' project. The vulnerabilities are numerous and affect SNMPv1 request and trap handling in both managers and agents. Please refer to the References section for complete details. The Net-SNMP port is not installed by default, nor is it "part of FreeBSD" as such: it is part of the FreeBSD ports collection, which contains over 6000 third-party applications in a ready-to-install format. The ports collection shipped with FreeBSD 4.5 does not contains this problem. FreeBSD makes no claim about the security of these third-party applications, although an effort is underway to provide a security audit of the most security-critical ports. III. Impact Although no exploits are known to exist at this time, the vulnerabilities may be exploited by a remote attacker in order to cause the SNMP agent to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges. Malicious agents may respond to requests with specially constructed replies that cause arbitrary code to be executed by the client. Knowledge of the SNMP community name is unnecessary for such exploits to be effective. IV. Workaround 1) Deinstall the ucd-snmp port/package if you have it installed. V. Solution Do one of the following: 1) Upgrade your entire ports collection and rebuild the port. 2) Deinstall the old package and install a new package dated after the correction date, obtained from the following directories: [i386] ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/net/ucd-snmp-4.2.3.tgz [alpha] Packages are not automatically generated for the alpha architecture at this time due to lack of build resources. 3) Download a new port skeleton for the net-snmp port from: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ and use it to rebuild the port. 4) Use the portcheckout utility to automate option (3) above. The portcheckout port is available in /usr/ports/devel/portcheckout or the package can be obtained from: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/portcheckout.tgz NOTE: Many other applications utilize the Net-SNMP libraries. These applications may also be vulnerable. It is recommended that such applications be rebuilt after upgrading Net-SNMP. The following command will display applications installed by the FreeBSD ports collection that utilize Net-SNMP: pkg_info -R ucd-snmp-\* VI. Correction details The following list contains the revision numbers of each file that was corrected in the FreeBSD ports collection. Path Revision - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ports/net/net-snmp/Makefile 1.59 ports/net/net-snmp/distinfo 1.15 ports/net/net-snmp/pkg-plist 1.18 ports/net/net-snmp/files/freebsd4.h (removed) ports/net/net-snmp/files/patch-aclocal.m4 1.1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- VII.
