 A security hole exists in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=uuxqt&sektion=8">uuxqt(8)</a>  
 that may allow an attacker to run arbitrary commands as user uucp and  
 use this to gain root access.  
 The UUCP execution daemon, uuxqt(8), has a bug in its command line  
 parsing routine that may allow arbitrary commands to be run.  Because  
 some UUCP commands are run as root (and daemon) from cron it is possible  
 to leverage compromise of the UUCP user to gain root.

 A security hole exists in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=lpd&sektion=8">lpd(8)</a>  
 that may allow an attacker with line printer access to gain root  
 privileges.  A machine must be running lpd to be vulnerable (OpenBSD  
 does not start lpd by default).  Only machines with line printer  
 access (ie: listed in either /etc/hosts.lpd or /etc/hosts.equiv)  
 may be used to mount an attack.

 A kernel buffer overflow exists in the NFS mount code. An attacker may  
 use this overflow to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode. However,  
 only users with <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount&sektion=2">mount(2)</a>  
 privileges can initiate this attack.  In default installs, only super-user has  
 mount privileges.  The kern.usermount <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=3">sysctl(3)</a> controls whether other users have mount privileges.

 The 2.9 CD cover states that XFree86 3.3.6-current is included.  This is only half-true.  
 In fact, the XFree86 included for all architectures is 4.0.3.  On the i386, the  
 3.3.6 Xservers have also been included, because 4.0.3 still has weak support for  
 some devices which 3.3.6 supported better.

 Programs using the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fts&sektion=3&format=html">fts(3)</a>  
 routines (such as rm, find, and most programs that take a <b>-R</b>  
 flag) can be tricked into changing into the wrong directory if the  
 parent dir is changed out from underneath it.  This is similar to  
 the old fts bug but happens when popping out of directories, as  
 opposed to descending into them.

 The signal handlers in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sendmail&sektion=8&format=html">sendmail(8)</a> contain code that is unsafe in the

 race conditions.  At the moment this is a theoretical attack only  
 and can only be exploited on the local host (if at all).<br>

 <li>When using a PS/2 keyboard with an MSI K7T Pro2A motherboard, it may be  
 necessary to disable the &quot;USB Keyboard Support&quot; and  
 &quot;USB Mouse Support&quot; options in the BIOS. Otherwise, the i8042  
 keyboard controller doesn't acknowledge commands, confusing OpenBSD.
