79: The 2.9 CD cover states that XFree86 3.3.6-current is included. This is only half-true.
1.330 angelos 80: In fact, the XFree86 included for all architectures is 4.0.3. On the i386, the
81: 3.3.6 Xservers have also been included, because 4.0.3 still has weak support for
1.328 deraadt 82: some devices which 3.3.6 supported better.

85: <li><font color=#009000><strong>002: SECURITY FIX: May 30, 2001</strong></font><br>
86: Programs using the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fts&sektion=3&format=html">fts(3)</a>
87: routines (such as rm, find, and most programs that take a <b>-R</b>
88: flag) can be tricked into changing into the wrong directory if the
89: parent dir is changed out from underneath it. This is similar to
90: the old fts bug but happens when popping out of directories, as
91: opposed to descending into them.

98: 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
99: context of a signal handler. This leads to potentially serious
100: race conditions. At the moment this is a theoretical attack only
101: and can only be exploited on the local host (if at all).<br>
