! 31: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
! 32: A new security problem exists if you rely on securelevels and immutable
! 33: or append-only files. The fix does not permit mmap'ing of immutable or
! 34: append-only files which are writeable, as the VM system will bypass the
! 35: meaning of the file flags.
! 36: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.3/common/immutable.patch>
! 37: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>

40: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
41: If IPSEC communication is attempted by starting photurisd(8) (which is
1.103 deraadt 42: disabled by default), a system crash may be evoked from remote if
43: an attacker uses some classes of invalid packets.

48: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
49: As stated in CERT advisory VB-98.04, there are buffer
1.103 deraadt 50: overrun problems in <strong>xterm</strong> related to the input-Method,
51: preeditType, and *Keymap resources. Additional buffer overruns exist in
52: the <strong>Xaw</strong> library related to the inputMethod and
53: preeditType resources. The xterm(1) problem represents a security
54: vulnerability for any platform where xterm is installed setuid-root
55: (as is the case for all OpenBSD platforms). The Xaw problem represents
56: a security vulnerability for any setuid-root program that uses the Xaw
57: library (including xterm). Patch1 from XFree86 3.3.2 corrects
58: these problems.
1.99 matthieu 59: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.3/common/xterm-xaw.patch>
1.101 deraadt 60: We provide a version of this patch file specifically for the OpenBSD 2.3 tree</a>.
1.107 deraadt 61: We also provide tar files which replace the xterm(1) binary and the libXaw
62: libraries on your system. These are expected to be extracted in
63: <strong>/usr/X11R6</strong> using the command
64: <strong>"tar xvfpz Xawfix.tgz"</strong>.
