My question relates specifically to the following two cr> documents: cr> cr> http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/errata.html cr> http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/errata.html cr> cr> The errata for 8.1 lists ten security advisories, all of which have cr> been corrected in 8.1-RELEASE, yet few of them even mention 8.1- cr> RELEASE in any form. On the other hand, the 8.0 errata lists only cr> three advisories, when it should contain many of the ones on the cr> 8.1 page. cr> cr> I do not mean to be critical if it is merely a case of documents cr> not being kept up to date, or a mistake being made in the 8.1 cr> errata. However, reading the errata for 8.1 makes it look as if cr> there are a lot of security issues with the release already. I find cr> this a bit confusing. Gr, the same list of SAs as in the Release Notes was accidentally included. I removed just now. Thank you for pointing out it. -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Sun_Jul_25_03_04_41_2010_197)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkxLKzkACgkQTyzT2CeTzy1TgwCcCmHXdZQMNOBPMhJu/M2n4ZPH ie8AoNIoVZN43qc525f7sp1HGFLHH1oz =Kemf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Sun_Jul_25_03_04_41_2010_197)----
