! 25: <li><strong><font color=#009000>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
! 26: If the sysctl variable <strong>net.inet.ip.forwarding</strong> is
! 27: enabled (value 1), but the variable <strong>net.inet.ip.sourceroute</strong>
! 28: is disabled (value 0), the kernel will still accept source routing packets
! 29: itself. Our fix changes the <strong>net.inet.ip.sourceroute</strong>
! 30: variable to mean that all block all source routed packets should be
! 31: blocked completely.

1.72 ! deraadt 36: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
1.61 deraadt 37: A combination localhost+remote host security problem exists if a
38: local user running a setuid binary causes a non-existant root .rhosts
39: file to be created via a symbolic link with a specific kind of corefile,
40: and then subsequently uses rsh/rlogin to enter the machine from remote.
41: A similar exploit might also be possible using sshd which lacks any code
42: for checking for deviations from the expected format in the .rhosts or
43: .shosts files, but we have not confirmed this yet. The following two
44: fixes are recommended:
45: <p>
46: <ul>
47: <li>
48: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.2/common/nosuidcoredump.patch>
1.72 ! deraadt 49: (1) A kernel patch which adds a new sysctl option which permits the
! 50: administrator to decide whether setuid corefiles should be written or not</a>.
1.61 deraadt 51: <p>
52: <li><a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.2/common/rcmd.patch>
53: (2) Replaces the ruserok() function in libc with a much more paranoid
54: version which can detect these bogus looking .rhosts files better. If the
55: previous patch is used to stop setuid coredumps, then this patch is not
1.72 ! deraadt 56: as important</a>.
1.61 deraadt 57: </ul>
58: <p>
59: This problem is fixed much better in OpenBSD-current, where the kernel's
60: symbolic link handling has been improved such that coredumping will not
61: create a file on the other side of a symbolic link. Such a patch is not
62: possible for the 4.4lite1 VFS layer in the OpenBSD 2.2 kernel.
63: <p>
1.72 ! deraadt 64: <a name=mmap></a>
! 65: <li><strong><font color=#009000>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
! 66: If you rely on the system securelevels as described in init(8), you
! 67: will want this fix. A bug in the vm system permits a file descriptor
! 68: opened read-only on a device, to later on be mmap(2)'d read-write, and
! 69: then modified. This does not result in a security hole by itself, but
! 70: it does violate the safety semantics which securelevels are supposed to
! 71: provide.
! 72: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.2/common/vm_mmap.patch>
! 73: A kernel patch is available which corrects this behaviour</a>.
! 74: <p>
! 75: <li><font color=#009000><strong>BUILD PROCESS FIX</strong></font><br>
! 76: Building an object tree from a read-only source tree (such as off a CDROM)
! 77: may fail under certain circumstances (e.g. when creating a symlink on sparc
! 78: whose target name is exactly 33 characters). As a workaround you have to
! 79: either provide the source tree read/write, or install a newer version of
! 80: /usr/bin/readlink.
! 81: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.2/common/readlink.c>

1.25 deraadt 87: <ul>
1.72 ! deraadt 88: <li><font color=#009000><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font><br>
! 89: The Intel P5 F00F bug was discovered after the CDR's had already been
1.39 deraadt 90: sent to the manufacturer. This problem permits any user who has an account
91: to lock your machine up using a 4-line program. The problem only affects
92: Intel P5 processors (the i386, i486, P-Pro, and P-II are not vulnerable,
93: nor are processors by other manufacturers).

1.33 deraadt 99: definately a problem for people who need Linux emulation to work correctly.
1.39 deraadt 100: To solve this mis-identification problem,

1.72 ! deraadt 109: <li><font color=#009000><strong>INSTALLATION PROCESS FLAW</strong></font><br>
! 110: A few people are running into this problem, particularily if they had some
1.39 deraadt 111: other *BSD operating system on their machine before trying OpenBSD: if after
112: installation onto an IDE-based machine, the kernel fails to mount the root
113: partition because it thinks that it should be opening sd0 (0x400), this means
114: you have incorrectly setup your disklabel for the IDE drive -- the disklabel
115: is indicating that the drive is SCSI.
116: To repair this, use the floppy to run "disklabel -E wd0", then using the
117: "edit" command ensure the type field is set to "ST506".

146: <p>
147: A number of possible workarounds exist if you don't have easy access to ftp
148: the updated kernels. The simplest of these is to use a
1.70 gene 149: MacOS program to uncompress and untar the kernel aad use the Installer's
150: mini-shell to "cpin" the kernel. Alternately, you could install the kernel

344: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
345: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd.scsi3/
346: wq
347: <b>#</b>
348: </pre>
349: The following one you'll have to do always (not only then
350: installing from from CD-ROM)
351: <pre><b>#</b> ed /usr/mdec/binstall
352: /getopt/,/getopt/+4d
353: wq

1.10 millert 359: <li> When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
1.9 graichen 360: errors like:
361: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
362: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
363: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
364: </pre>
365: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
366: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
367: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
368: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. You may get a copy
369: of the OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1 from <a
370: href=ftp://miranda.rz-berlin.mpg.de/pub/OpenBSD/pmax/fixes/libc.so.16.1>
371: here </a>. Simply download it and do the following:
372: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
373: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
374: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
375: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
376: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
377: </pre>
378: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
379: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
380: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.

1.20 gene 385: <li>The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such as "file system read-only" on bootup.
386: To correct, boot to single-user mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog) and do the following:
1.17 deraadt 387: <pre>
1.18 deraadt 388: <b>#</b> mount /dev/sd0a /
389: <b>#</b> ed /etc/fstab
390: 1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
1.20 gene 391: 1,$s/ ro / rw /
1.18 deraadt 392: w
393: q
1.17 deraadt 394: </pre>
1.20 gene 395: Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
396: to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
397: (read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
398: Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
1.17 deraadt 399: The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
400: "ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.
1.20 gene 401:
1.17 deraadt 402: <li>The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
1.20 gene 403: This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
404: be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
405: must make this correction <em>before attempting to boot the system</em>.
1.17 deraadt 406: To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
407: <pre>
1.20 gene 408: > cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
409: </pre>
410: This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
1.23 gene 411: replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
1.20 gene 412: wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
1.23 gene 413: kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
414: command without leading colon(s) like:
1.20 gene 415: <pre>
1.23 gene 416: > cpin bsd-generic bsd
1.17 deraadt 417: </pre>
1.20 gene 418: Good luck.
