New FreeBSD, NetBSD Security Advisories

Posted by timothy on from the tell-everyone-why-don't-you dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD has formally announced a security advisory entitled "OpenSSH buffer management error" for the now famous OpenSSH advisory (OpenSSH has released a new version 3.7.1 to address this issue). NetBSD has issued a similar advisory and fix for this issue. NetBSD has released two additional security advisories entitled "Kernel memory disclosure via ibcs2" and "Insufficient argument checking in sysctl(2)"."
