-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 ============================================================================= FreeBSD-EN-14:09.jail Errata Notice The FreeBSD Project Topic: Jail fails to start if WITHOUT_INET/WITHOUT_INET6 is used Category: core Module: jail Announced: 2014-07-08 Credits: Eugene Grosbein, Chris Rees Affects: FreeBSD 8.4 Corrected: 2014-07-02 19:18:59 UTC (stable/8, 8.4-STABLE) 2014-07-08 21:55:39 UTC (releng/8.4, 8.4-RELEASE-p14) For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit . I. Background The jail(8) utility creates new jails, or modifies or removes existing jails. II. Problem Description The jail(8) rc(8) script used to start jails on the system does not properly detect if an address protocol is in use on the system. III. Impact When the FreeBSD kernel and userland are built either without IPv4 or IPv6 support by defining WITHOUT_INET or WITHOUT_INET6 in src.conf(5), the jail(8) will fail to start with an non-descriptive error. IV. Workaround No workaround is available, however systems that do not define WITHOUT_INET or WITHOUT_INET6 are not affected. 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-14:09/jail.patch # fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:09/jail.patch.asc # gpg --verify jail.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in . 3) To update your system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install VI. Correction details The following list contains the revision numbers of each file that was corrected in FreeBSD. Branch/path Revision - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/8/ r268168 releng/8.4/ r268435 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see which files were modified by a particular revision, run the following command, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number, on a machine with Subversion installed: # svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number: VII.
