Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've just inherited several FreeBSD boxes. The versions range from 3.2_RELEASE to 4.1_RELEASE. On the BSD boxes I already maintain I cvsup and make world on a monthly basis - or as soon as I see a CERT advisory that I know relates to something that can bite. But the inherited boxes need a lot of work, and I cannot guarantee to "The Powers That Be" that a make world wont break the box. What I really need to know is what vulnerabilities exist on each box - so that I can present the boss with a risk assessment, and make him decide if the box stays as is, or gets a make world. So any advice anyone can give me, on how to find out what's vunerable with any particular FreeBSD version, would be greatly appreciated. -- TTFN, FNORD Peter McGarvey System Administrator Network Operations, VIA Networks UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
