During bootup, kvm_mkdb may exit with the error "kvm_mkdb: cannot allocate
memory".
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/kvm_mkdb.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=nfs3_solaris7></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
A problem with writing to NFS version 3 mounted filesystems from Solaris 7
hosts exists. Attempts to create files will result in a error such as
"Inappropriate file type or format".
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/nfs3_solaris7.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>

<a name=nfs3></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
A problem with NFS version 3 mounts on big endian machines (m68k, sparc
and powerpc) exists when mounting filesystems larger than 2gig. You
can see evidence of the bug by running df(1) and checking for negative
partition sizes.
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/nfs3.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=termcap></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
A security problem exists in the curses and ocurses libraries that affect
setuid programs linked with -lcurses or -locurses.
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/termcap.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<br>
Precompiled versions of libcurses and libocurses exist for the
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/i386/curses.tar.gz>i386</a>
platform. Unpack it in /usr/lib.
<p>
<a name=terminfo></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
A workaround for an xterm problem that causes <strong>vi</strong> to not
restore the correct cursor position on exit.
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.src.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<br>
Alternately, you can also download a pre-compiled terminfo file to be
installed as <strong>/usr/share/misc/terminfo.db</strong>. For i386,
alpha and mips, use the
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.db-LE.tar.gz>
little endian</a> version. For sparc, m68k and powerpc, use the
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.db-BE.tar.gz>
big endian</a> version.
<p>
<a name=userdir></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
<strong>userdir</strong> support was accidentally left out of httpd(8).
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/userdir.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=bootpd></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
A remotely exploitable problem exists in bootpd(8). bootpd is disabled
by default, but some people may actually be using it.
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/bootpd.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem</a>, this is the
second version of the patch.
<p>
<a name=tcpfix></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
A remote machine lockup problem exists in the TCP decoding code.
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/tcpfix.patch>

</ul>
<a name=i386></a>
<li><h3><font color=#e00000>i386</font></h3>
<ul>
<a name=installboot></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
i386 installboot had a sign extention bug which prevented proper bootblock
initialization when the root filesystem was placed beyond 4GB.
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/i386/installboot.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a><br>

that your root filesystem is below 4GB, for now.

<a name=hme></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>DRIVER FIX</strong></font><br>
The sparc hme(4) driver works poorly on some types of of SS-20 machines.
This is because those machines lie, saying they support 64-bit DMA
bursting. No sun4m machines supprort that.
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/sparc/hme.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=hme></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>DRIVER FIX</strong></font><br>
The sparc le(4) driver does media changes incorrectly on one type of
sbus le(4) card.
