                          Announcing NetBSD 4.0.1

About the NetBSD 4.0.1 Release

   The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce that update 4.0.1 of the
   NetBSD operating system is now available. NetBSD 4.0.1 is the first
   security/critical update of the NetBSD 4.0 release branch. This
   represents a selected subset of fixes deemed critical in nature for
   stability or security reasons, no new features have been added.

   NetBSD 4.0.1 runs on 54 different system architectures featuring 17
   machine architectures across 17 distinct CPU families, and is being
   ported to more. The NetBSD 4.0.1 release contains complete binary
   releases for 51 different machine types, with the platforms amigappc,
   bebox and ews4800mips released in source form only. Complete source
   and binaries for NetBSD 4.0.1 are available for download at many sites
   around the world. A list of download sites providing FTP, AnonCVS,
   SUP, and other services is provided at the end of this announcement;
   the latest list of available download sites may also be found at
   http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/. We encourage users who wish to install
   via a CD-ROM ISO image to download via BitTorrent by using the torrent
   files supplied in the ISO image area. A list of hashes for the NetBSD
   4.0.1 distribution has been signed with the well-connected PGP key for
   the NetBSD Security Officer:
   ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/security/hashes/NetBSD-4.0.1_hashes.asc

   Please note that all fixes in security/critical updates (i.e., NetBSD
   4.0.1, 4.0.2, etc) are cumulative, so the latest update contains all
   such fixes since the corresponding minor release. These fixes will
   also appear in future minor releases (i.e., NetBSD 4.1, 4.2, etc),
   together with other less-critical fixes and feature enhancements.

   NetBSD is free. All of the code is under non-restrictive licenses, and
   may be used without paying royalties to anyone. Free support services
   are available via our mailing lists and website. Commercial support is
   available from a variety of sources; some are listed at
   http://www.NetBSD.org/gallery/consultants.html. More extensive
   information on NetBSD is available from our website:

     http://www.NetBSD.org/

Changes Between 4.0 and 4.0.1 update

   The complete list of changes can be found in the CHANGES-4.0.1
   file in the top level directory of the NetBSD 4.0.1 release tree
   (ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-4.0.1/CHANGES-4.0.1).
   A shortened list is as follows:

  Security Advisories Fixes

     o NetBSD-SA2008-004, multiple issues (CVE-2008-1372 and
       CVE-2005-0953), has been fixed by upgrading to bzip2 to 1.0.5
     o NetBSD-SA2008-005, OpenSSH Multiple issues (CVE-2008-1483 and
       CVE-2008-1657), has been fixed by applying patches from upstream.
     o NetBSD-SA2008-006, integer overflow in strfmon(3) function
       (CVE-2008-1391), has been fixed.
     o NetBSD-SA2008-008, OpenSSL Montgomery multiplication
       (CVE-2007-3108), has been fixed.
     o NetBSD-SA2008-009, BIND cache poisoning (CVE-2008-1447 and CERT
       VU#800113), has been fixed by updating BIND to 9.4.2-P2. Note
       there are two related changes to this advisory:
          o The default behavior of ipfilter's Port Address Translation
            has been changed to using random port allocation rather than
            sequential mappings, to avoid decreasing the randomness of
            source ports used for DNS queries which affects the BIND
            cache poisoning problem.
          o A `query-source' statement, which could allow the BIND cache
            poisoning attack, has been commented out in the default
            named.conf(5) file.
     o NetBSD-SA2008-010, malicious PPPoE discovery packet can overrun a
       kernel buffer (CVE-2008-3584), has been fixed.
     o NetBSD-SA2008-011, ICMPv6 MLD query (CVE-2008-2464), has been
       fixed.
     o NetBSD-SA2008-012, Denial of Service issues in racoon(8)
       (CVE-2008-3652), has been fixed by upgrading ipsec-tools to
       release 0.7.1. Note this also fixes CVE-2008-3651.
     o upcoming NetBSD-SA2008-013, IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol
       routing vulnerability (CVE-2008-2476), has been fixed.
     o upcoming NetBSD-SA2008-014, remote cross-site request forgery
       attack issue in ftpd(8) (CVE-2008-4247), has been fixed.
     o upcoming NetBSD-SA2008-015, remove kernel panics on IPv6
       connections (CVE-2008-3530), has been fixed.

   Note: NetBSD-SA2008-007 and advisories prior to NetBSD-SA2008-004
   don't affect NetBSD 4.0.

  Other Security Fixes

     o Fix a buffer overrun which could crash a FAST_IPSEC kernel.
     o tcpdump(8): fix CVE-2007-1218, CVE-2007-3798 and CAN-2005-1278 in
       base-tcpdump.
     o Fix a buffer overflow of PCF font parser in X11 libXfont library
       (CVE-2008-0006).
     o Fix a buffer overflow of Tektronix Hex Format support in binutils
       (CVE-2006-2362).
     o machfb(4) and voodoofb(4): introduce two missing
       KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER checks in the mmap(2) code.

  Networking

     o Update root.cache to 2008020400 version.
     o Fix IP packet forwarding code to make sure to send a reasonable
       fragment size when IPsec is configured.
     o Fix a bug in TCP SACK code which causes data corruption.
     o Fix an rc.d(8) script for amd(8) not to shutdown gracefully since
       it seems to cause problems for more people than the old (also
       broken) behavior.
     o ftpd(8): fix and reorganize PAM support.

  Libraries

     o Pthread support of BIND has been disabled for future binary
       compatibility after removal of the scheduler activations.
     o Fix coredump of gdtoa (conversion between binary floating-point
       and ASCII string) functions on out of memory conditions.

  Drivers

     o fxp(4): fix random pool corruption and hangup problems.
     o wd(4): handle more LBA48 bug quirks on some Hitachi's SATA/IDE
       drives.

  Miscellaneous

     o Disable a NULL pointer check in zlib for standalone programs. This
       fixes errors on loading a gzipped kernel (including installation
       kernels) on several ports (news68k etc.) whose kernels are loaded
       at address zero.
     o awk(1): bring back an accidentally removed fix to allow escape of
       a newline in string literals.
     o gcc(1):
          o fix compilation of native sh3 gcc on 64-bit build machines
          o fix an internal compiler error on compiling m68k softfloat or
            m68010 targets on 64-bit build machines.
     o zgrep(1): make `-h' option (suppress filenames on output when
       multiple files are searched) actually work.
     o Fix parallel build failure on building hpcarm, hpcmips and hpcsh
       releases.

  Platform specific

     o acorn32: fix a bootloader problem on some RiscPCs.
     o cobalt:
          o add a workaround to avoid panic on probing a multi function
            PCI device on Qube's PCI slot
          o fix a bug in the interrupt handler which causes network
            freeze if more than one interfaces are used.
     o hp700: fix potential kernel / userland memory corruption in
       copyinstr(9) and copyoutstr(9).
     o sparc64: fix a bug in locore.s which causes unexpected behavior.
     o sun3: fix a bug which might cause an occasional panic during boot.
     o vax: make syscall handler use proper copyin(9) function on parsing
       syscall args.
