---- Security Advisories:

Current active security advisories for 2.2.5:	One

o FreeBSD-SA-97:05 (available from ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/) -
  security compromise via open().  Patches available in
  ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/patches/SA-97:05/

  You may also simply remove /dev/io as a quick work-around if you're
  not running an X server or some other specialized utility which
  requires access to the I/O instructions.
 
---- System Update Information:

o The appletalk stack was broken in 2.2.5 and, if you plan to run
  appletalk, you should apply the following patch:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/updates/atalk.diff.2.2

o The line printer spooler lpd will, when sending jobs to remote
  printers, kill the child process sending to the remote after the
  timeout specified in the `ct' capability (2 minutes by default).
  For a fix, please upgrade the lpd subsystem to 2.2-stable.  As a
  workaround, increase the `ct' capability to an unreasonably large
  number of seconds (like 3600).

o Intel "F00F bug" enables users to hang machines with Pentium processors
  if they have access to the machine and can execute programs.
  
Fix:  Update to the 2.2-stable version of the kernel or apply the patch
      found in: 
      
      ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/updates/f00f.diff.2.2

o A bug in the ipfw code exists where using the "reset tcp" firewall command
  causes the kernel to write ethernet headers onto random kernel stack
  locations. 

Fix:    Update to the 2.2-stable version of the kernel or apply the
        patch found in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/updates/ipfw.diff
