95: If the Postfix sendmail replacement is installed on a system an
96: attacker may be able to gain root privileges on the local host via
97: sudo(8) which runs the mailer as root with an environment inherited
98: from the invoking user. While this is a bug in sudo it is not
99: believed to be possible to exploit when sendmail (the mailer that
100: ships with OpenBSD) is the mailer. As of version 1.6.5, sudo passes
101: the mailer an environment that is not subject to influence from the

1.365 jason 139: is being upgraded from OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2 to fix a few problems:
1.357 deraadt 140: <p>
141: <ul>
142: <li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
143: if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
144: <br>
145: By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
146: has been properly configured.
147: <p>
148: <li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
149: also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
150: patch as well.
151: <p>
1.365 jason 152: <li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
153: <i>sshd</i> option
154: <p>
1.357 deraadt 155: <li>Various other non-critical fixes.

1.365 jason 158: Effectively an upgrade of OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2,

164: A small bug in the installation script causes the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file to

166: The resulting file contains a line which reads like:<p>
167: <tt>
168: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname

170: <p>
171: This line should actually read something like:<p>

173: #.#.#.# hostname.domainname.com hostname
174: </tt>
175: <p>
176: To correct this problem, simply edit the file and insert the domainname in
177: the required place.
