>1) Do I need to rebuild any of my old non-system binaries to protect >myself from the stack overwite bug being discussed on the >freebsd-security list? Yes. The old binaries will still be linked with libc.so.2.2 and will continue to use that library. The upgrade you did would not have updated that library to contain the fixes (the libc in 2.2 is libc.so.3.0). You can fix all those things built shared by getting the fixed libc.so.2.2 from the soon-to-be- released FreeBSD 2.1.7...or you can rebuild the binaries so that they are linked with libc.so.3.0. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
