support services, announced that it is delivering its Binary Updates
for the NetBSD/i386 1.6 release. The Puget Sound Technology Binary
Updates service is a software management solution for providing
ready-to-use software upgrades for critical security issues.”
Similar to BSD/OS mods, a Binary Update backs up current files and logs
the update. The fixes are for the base system — not for the
third-party packages. By using the Binary Updates,
administrators do not need to find patches, retrieve source code or
compile to build new software for the specific fixes.
Puget Sound Technology provided Binary Updates for NetBSD 1.5.2 and
continues to provide updates for NetBSD 1.5.3 and 1.6. Recent updates
include fixes for the libkvm close-on-exec issue, Sendmail smrsh bypass
vulnerabilities, and Rogue game overflow.
