<a name=xterm-xaw></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
As stated in CERT advisory VB-98.04, there are buffer
overrun problems in <strong>xterm</strong>  
related to the input-Method, preeditType, and *Keymap resources, and
buffer overruns in the <strong>Xaw</strong>
library related to the inputMethod and preeditType resources.  
The xterm problem represents a security vulnerability for any platform 
where xterm is installed setuid-root (as is the case for all OpenBSD
platforms).  The Xaw problem represents a security vulnerability for
any setuid-root program that uses the Xaw library (including xterm).
<p>
<a href="http://www.xfree86.org/">XFree86 3.3.2</a> patch 1 corrects 
these problems.
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.3/common/xterm-xaw.patch>
Here's a version for the OpenBSD 2.3 tree</a>.

<ul>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font><br>
The 2.3 release does not run reliably on the sun4m LX/LC machines
(ie. Sparc Classic).
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.3/sparc/iommureg.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>

<li><font color=#009000><strong>RELEASE WARNING</strong></font><br>
The XFree86 binary set shipped on the CD and FTP site are not the
exact final set that we shipped for the other releases.  A few minor
changes, mostly in <strong>xdm(1)</strong> configuration, were made
after those binaries were made.  Patches for this might come out later.

<ul>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
The powerpc release shipped on the OpenBSD 2.3 CD does not contain
two late fixes applied late in the release cycle.  The
<a href=errata22.html#rmjob>rmjob</a> and 
<a href=errata22.html#uucpd>uucpd</a> patches should be applied to
the system if those subsystems are used.
