<a name=sendmail></a>
<li><font color=#009000><strong>001: SECURITY FIX: May 29, 2001</strong></font><br>
The signal handlers in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sendmail&sektion=8&format=html">sendmail(8)</a> contain code that is unsafe in the
context of a signal handler.  This leads to potentially serious
race conditions.  At the moment this is a theoretical attack only
and can only be exploited on the local host (if at all).<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.9/common/001_sendmail.patch">A source code patch exists</a> which remedies the problem by updating sendmail to version 8.11.4.<br>

<li>When using a PS/2 keyboard with an MSI K7T Pro2A motherboard, it may be
necessary to disable the &quot;USB Keyboard Support&quot; and
&quot;USB Mouse Support&quot; options in the BIOS. Otherwise, the i8042
keyboard controller doesn't acknowledge commands, confusing OpenBSD.
