Background + +The tzsetup(8) program allows the user to specify the default local +timezone. Based on the selected timezone, tzsetup(8) copies one of the +files from /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime. This file actually +controls the conversion. + +II. Problem Description + +Several changes in Daylight Savings Time happened after previous +FreeBSD releases were released that would affect many people who +live in different countries. Because of these changes, the data in +the zoneinfo files need to be updated, and if the local timezone on +the running system is affected, tzsetup(8) needs to be run so the +/etc/localtime is updated. + +III. Impact + +An incorrect time will be displayed on a system configured to use one +of the affected timezones if the /usr/share/zoneinfo and /etc/localtime +files are not updated, and all applications on the system that rely on +the system time, such as cron(8) and syslog(8), will be affected. + +IV. Workaround + +The system administrator can install an updated timezone database from +the misc/zoneinfo port and run tzsetup(8) to get the timezone database +corrected. + +Applications that store and display times in Coordinated Universal Time +(UTC) are not affected. + +V. Solution + +Please note that some third party software, for instance PHP, Ruby, +Java and Perl, may be using different zoneinfo data source, in such +cases these software has to be updated separately. For software +packages that is installed via package collection, they can be +upgraded by doing a `pkg upgrade'. + +Following the instructions in this Errata Notice will update all of +the zoneinfo files to be the same as what was released with FreeBSD +release. + +Perform one of the following: + +1) Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security +branch (releng) dated after the correction date. + +2) To update your present system via a source code patch: + +The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable +FreeBSD release branches. + +a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the +detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. + +[FreeBSD 8.4] +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-8.4.patch +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-8.4.patch.asc +# gpg --verify tzdata-8.4.patch.asc + +[FreeBSD 9.1] +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-9.1.patch +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-9.1.patch.asc +# gpg --verify tzdata-9.1.patch.asc + +[FreeBSD 9.2] +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-9.2.patch +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-9.2.patch.asc +# gpg --verify tzdata-9.2.patch.asc + +[FreeBSD 9.3] +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-9.3.patch +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-9.3.patch.asc +# gpg --verify tzdata-9.3.patch.asc + +[FreeBSD 10.0] +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-10.0.patch +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:10/tzdata-10.0.patch.asc +# gpg --verify tzdata-10.0.patch.asc + +b) Apply the patch.

Background + +The crypt(3) function performs password hashing. Different algorithms +of varying strength are available, with older, weaker algorithms being +retained for compatibility. + +The crypt(3) function was originally based on the DES encryption +algorithm and generated a 13-character hash from an eight-character +password (longer passwords were truncated) and a two-character salt. + +II. Problem Description + +In recent FreeBSD releases, the default algorithm for crypt(3) was +changed to SHA-512, which generates a much longer hash than the +traditional DES-based algorithm. + +III. Impact + +Many applications assume that crypt(3) always returns a traditional DES +hash, and blindly copy it into a short buffer without bounds checks. This +may lead to a variety of undesirable results including, at worst, crashing +the application. + +IV. Workaround + +No workaround is available. + +V. Solution + +Perform one of the following: + +1) Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security +branch (releng) dated after the correction date. + +2) To update your present system via a source code patch: + +The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable +FreeBSD release branches. + +a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the +detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. + +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:11/crypt.patch +# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:11/crypt.patch.asc +# gpg --verify crypt.patch.asc + +b) Apply the patch.
