80: If the Postfix sendmail replacement is installed on a system an
81: attacker may be able to gain root privileges on the local host via
82: sudo(8) which runs the mailer as root with an environment inherited
83: from the invoking user. While this is a bug in sudo it is not
84: believed to be possible to exploit when sendmail (the mailer that
85: ships with OpenBSD) is the mailer. As of version 1.6.5, sudo passes
86: the mailer an environment that is not subject to influence from the
1.369 millert 87: invoking user.<br>

99: to create arbitrary new files in the root directory. Only machines
100: with line printer access (ie: listed in either /etc/hosts.lpd or

1.365 jason 124: is being upgraded from OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2 to fix a few problems:
1.357 deraadt 125: <p>
126: <ul>
127: <li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
128: if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
129: <br>
130: By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
131: has been properly configured.
132: <p>
133: <li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
134: also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
135: patch as well.
136: <p>
1.365 jason 137: <li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
138: <i>sshd</i> option
139: <p>
1.357 deraadt 140: <li>Various other non-critical fixes.
141: </ul>

1.365 jason 143: Effectively an upgrade of OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2,
144: <a href="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.0/common/002_ssh2.patch">a source code patch exists which remedies these problems</a>.

148: <li><font color=#009000><strong>001: INSTALL ISSUE: November 12, 2001</strong></font><br>
149: A small bug in the installation script causes the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file to
150: be incorrectly formed.<br>
151: The resulting file contains a line which reads like:<p>
152: <tt>
153: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname
154: </tt>
155: <p>
156: This line should actually read something like:<p>
157: <tt>
158: #.#.#.# hostname.domainname.com hostname
159: </tt>
160: <p>
161: To correct this problem, simply edit the file and insert the domainname in
162: the required place.
