I mention this so that people are not confused why this one advisory is posted in here, even though we had decided that vendor-specific advisories are normally not to be posted to oss-security. There's no change in that preference, but there may be exceptions to it like this time (for good reasons).
About a month has passed since, at it seems this wasn't a one-off post. As far as I can see, all FreeBSD security advisories released since were posted here as well: http://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories.html http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/06/05/20 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/06/24/17 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/06/24/18 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/07/08/17 It seems we need someone form FreeBSD team to change their system to avoid posting all their errata here, or force moderation for all mails from security-advisories () freebsd org. -- Tomas Hoger / Red Hat Security Response Team
