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)"."

    Graffiti Writer Killed by Train

    A train struck and killed a man early this morning on the South Side while he apparently was writing graffiti under the Birmingham Bridge, according to the Allegheny County coroner's office.

    Evan Walters, 24, of Perrysville Avenue on the North Side, was hit by the train at 1:41 a.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene 11 minutes later. An eyewitness reported that the man had just finished spray painting the phrase BSD is dying on the bridge abutment.

    Police were not immediately available for comment.

    It is with a heavy heart that we must report that Bob "I'm still dead" Hope has gone on to join the "B" team. As you all may know, BSD has been part of the "B" team for quite some time.

    The Year of Our Lord 2003 has been a particularly bad year for the "B"s,

    • Bob Hope
    • Buddy Ebsen
    • Buddy Hackett
    • Barry White
    • BSD
    This honored list of dead is but a small token of adieu from the many fans of the deceased.
    These dead were truly some American Icons. They will be missed.
