<ul>
<a name=ftpd></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>019: SECURITY FIX: July 5, 2000</strong></font><br>
Just like pretty much all the other unix ftp daemons on the planet, 
ftpd had a remote root hole in it.  Luckily, ftpd was not enabled by default.
The problem exists if anonymous ftp is enabled.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/019_ftpd.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=mopd></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>018: SECURITY FIX: July 5, 2000</strong></font><br>
Mopd contained a buffer overflow.

<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/018_mopd.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=screen></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>017: INSTALLATION FIX: July 3, 2000</strong></font>
<br>
The screen package shipped with 2.7 does not install itself properly.  The 
existing package in 2.7/packages/_ARCH_/screen-3.9.5.tgz has been renamed to 
screen-3.9.5.tgz.old and a replacement package has been provided under the 
name screen-3.9.5p1.tgz.

<p>
<a name=libedit></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>013: SECURITY FIX: June 28, 2000</strong></font><br>
libedit would check for a <b>.editrc</b> file in the current directory.
That behaviour is not nice; this does not turn into a security problem in
any real world situation that we know of, but a patch is available anyways.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/013_libedit.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=dhclient></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>012: SECURITY FIX: June 24, 2000</strong></font><br>
A serious bug in dhclient(8) could allow strings from a malicious dhcp
server to be executed in the shell as root.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/012_dhclient.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=isakmpd></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>009: SECURITY FIX: June 9, 2000</strong></font><br>
A serious bug in isakmpd(8) policy handling wherein policy
verification could be completely bypassed in isakmpd.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/009_isakmpd.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=msdosfs></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>008: RELIABILITY FIX: June 8, 2000</strong></font><br>
Some operations in msdosfs could result in a system panic.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/008_msdosfs.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=cd9660></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>007: RELIABILITY FIX: June 8, 2000</strong></font><br>
NFS exporting of CD filesystems caused a system panic.
<br>

A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=uselogin></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>006: SECURITY FIX: June 6, 2000</strong></font><br>
The non-default UseLogin feature in <b>/etc/sshd_config</b> is broken and should not
be used.  On other operating systems, it results in a hole.<br>
Avoid use of this feature, or update to OpenSSH 2.1.1 or later if you must use it.
<p>
<a name=ipopts></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>005: RELIABILITY FIX: May 29, 2000</strong></font><br>
Parse IPv4 options more carefully.  It is not yet clear if this can even be used
to crash the machine remote or locally.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/005_ipopts.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=route></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>004: RELIABILITY FIX: May 29, 2000</strong></font><br>
Certain routing table modifications by the superuser could cause a system panic.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/004_route.patch>

<p>
<a name=bridge></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>003: SECURITY FIX: May 26, 2000</strong></font><br>
It is possible to bypass the <i>learning</i> flag on an interface if frames
go directly to the machine acting as a

<p>
<a name=ef></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>002: DRIVER FIX: May 26, 2000</strong></font><br>
The
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ef&sektion=4">ef(4)</a>
driver will complain when adding an address with ifconfig
(ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Invalid argument).<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/002_ef.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<a name=ipf></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>001: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000</strong></font><br>
A misuse of
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipf&sektion=8">ipf(8)</a>
<i>keep-state</i> rules can result in firewall rules being bypassed.<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/common/001_ipf.patch>
A source code patch exists</a>, which remedies this problem, and updates ipf
to version 3.3.16.

<a name=xlhash></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>016: DRIVER BUG: July 2, 2000</strong></font><br>
The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xl&sektion=4">xl(4)</a>
driver supporting various 3com cards, had a bug which prevented the multicast
filter from working correctly on the 3c905B, thus preventing many IPv6 things
from working.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/i386/016_xlhash.patch>

The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ste&sektion=4">ste(4)</a>
driver supporting Ethernet cards based on the Sundance ST201 chipset
(i.e., the D-Link 550TX) has a bug which causes the machine to panic at
boot-time.
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/i386/015_ste.patch>
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>

<a name=pcvt></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>014: DRIVER BUG: June 30, 2000</strong></font><br>
The PC console driver (PCVT) has two bugs. Display problems can result if
reverse video mode is turned on or off twice in a row. This patch also
fixes a problem with scrolling region handling that has been seen by many
users trying to use the BitchX irc client with the screen program.<br>
<br>
<a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/i386/014_pcvt.patch>
There is now a second revision of the source code patch which remedies this problem.</a>

Aironet Communications 4500/4800 IEEE 802.11DS driver has a bug which prevents
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ancontrol&sektion=8">ancontrol(8)</a> from working correctly, instead causing a panic.

On the 2.7 CD media, the <b>amiga</b> distribution contains two pairs of archives
files for installation, ie:

The installation script will list ALL of these files.  For proper
operation one should install the <b>*.tgz</b> versions, and deselect
the <b>*.tar.gz</b> versions.<br>
The FTP area sets do not suffer from this problem.
