For all you FreeBSD patriots out there , here is an important update !
There has been a flaw in FreeBSD's Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT) and this has been reported due to an unspecified error in the HTT, which may cause a normal user to perform privilege escalation attacks.
So before your normal users out there start using this exploit and start screaming " I g0t r007 (I got root) !" , it would be a good idea to do the following :-
[FreeBSD 4.10]
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-05:09/htt410.patch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-05:09/htt410.patch.asc
[FreeBSD 4.11]
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-05:09/htt411.patch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-05:09/htt411.patch.asc
[FreeBSD 5.x]
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-05:09/htt5.patch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-05:09/htt5.patch.asc
Have a lovely weekend !
