1.1 deraadt 162: A combination localhost+remote host security problem exists if a

1.1 deraadt 164: file to be created via a symbolic link with a specific kind of corefile,
165: and then subsequently uses rsh/rlogin to enter the machine from remote.
166: A similar exploit might also be possible using sshd which lacks any code
167: for checking for deviations from the expected format in the .rhosts or
168: .shosts files, but we have not confirmed this yet. The following two

182: If the
183: first patch is used to stop setuid coredumps, then the second patch is
184: not as important.
185: This problem is fixed much better in OpenBSD-current, where the kernel's
186: symbolic link handling has been improved such that coredumping will not
187: create a file on the other side of a symbolic link. Such a patch is not
188: possible for the 4.4lite1 VFS layer in the OpenBSD 2.2 kernel.<p>
