21: As part of our <a href=security.html>security audit</a>, we've done
22: significant work to audit the source tree for <strong>Y2K</strong>
1.2 deraadt 23: flaws. When found, these were fixed before the 2.3 release shipped.
24: We feel that we were pretty thorough -- we even found problems in the
1.4 ! deraadt 25: dating of nroff-generated manpages. Releases were carefully handled
! 26: to avoid introducing new flaws.
! 27:
! 28: <p>
! 29: A few extremely minor flaws were fixed in the 2.4 and 2.5 releases,
! 30: but all of these were problems without impact. Most of these issues
! 31: related to programs that still printed dates in 2 digit form -- though
! 32: they would have correctly printed the year as 00 and not 100. Not a
! 33: serious issue in our mind when considering that there are other
! 34: programs in the system which are required (by existing standards) to
! 35: print dates in such form.
! 36:
! 37: <p>
! 38: We recommend that paranoid people update to our latest release (which
! 39: should already be obvious considering our continual improvements to
! 40: security).

48: At this time, we do not know of any Y2K flaws. If anyone becomes aware
