1.189 deraadt 40: Packets that should have been handled by IPsec may be transmitted
41: as cleartext. PF_KEY SA expirations may leak kernel resources.

62: Cause groff(1) to be invoked with the -S flag, when called by nroff(1),
63: to avoid various groff features which may be security issues. On the
64: whole, this is not really a security issue, but it was discussed on
65: BUGTRAQ as if it is.

98: <li><font color=#009000><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font><br>
99: PF_KEY socket operations leak internal kernel resources, so that a
100: system running an IPsec keymanagement daemon like photurisd or isakmpd
101: will cause the networking subsystem to stop working after a finite amount
102: of time.
