    For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
    branches, and the following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.

    I. Background

    The makewhatis utility extracts keywords from UNIX manuals and indexes
    them in a database for fast retrieval by apropos(1), whatis(1), and
    man(1)'s -k option.

    II. Problem Description

    The generation of makewhatis database is not reproducible.

    III. Impact

    The freebsd-update(8) build procedure may consider mandoc.db as changed when built multiple times.

    IV. Workaround

    No workaround is available, but the impact is mostly cosmetic.

    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.

    Reboot is not necessary.

    2) 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

    Reboot is not necessary.

    3) To update your 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 https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-17:04/mandoc.patch
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-17:04/mandoc.patch.asc
    # gpg --verify mandoc.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 <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.
