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

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

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