133: A problem with NFS version 3 mounts on big endian machines (m68k, sparc
134: and powerpc) exists when mounting filesystems larger than 2gig. You
135: can see evidence of the bug by running df(1) and checking for negative
136: partition sizes.

150: <p>
151: <a name=terminfo></a>
152: <li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>

155: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.src.patch>
156: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
157: <br>
158: Alternately, you can also download a pre-compiled terminfo file to be
159: installed as <strong>/usr/share/misc/terminfo.db</strong>. For i386,
160: alpha and mips, use the
161: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.db-LE.tar.gz>
162: little endian</a> version. For sparc, m68k and powerpc, use the
163: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.db-BE.tar.gz>
164: big endian</a> version.
165: <p>

170: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
171: <p>
172: <a name=bootpd></a>
173: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
174: A remotely exploitable problem exists in bootpd(8). bootpd is disabled
175: by default, but some people may actually be using it.
176: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/bootpd.patch>
177: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem</a>, this is the
178: second version of the patch.
179: <p>
180: <a name=tcpfix></a>
181: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
182: A remote machine lockup problem exists in the TCP decoding code.
183: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/tcpfix.patch>
184: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>

190: <a name=tss></a>
191: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
192: This is another fix for a kernel crash caused by the
193: <strong>crashme</strong> program.
194: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/i386/tss.patch>
195: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a><br>
196: <p>
197: <a name=bootargv></a>
198: <li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
199: The kernel was using a fixed and hard-coded location for the arguments
200: vector passed from the <strong>/boot</strong> loader. This prevented
1.11 jufi 201: <strong>/boot</strong> from placing the boot arguments vector at any
1.1 deraadt 202: other location, causing a kernel crash early in the autoconfiguration
203: stage. In 2.5, the bootblocks will be modified to use a new location.
204: Hence, if you wish old kernels to boot on a new bootblock, those
205: kernels will only work if they were linked with this patch.
206: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/i386/bootargv.patch>
207: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a><br>
208: <p>
209: <a name=trctrap></a>
210: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX</strong></font><br>
211: i386 trace-trap handling when DDB was configured could cause a system
212: crash.
213: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/i386/trctrap.patch>
214: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a><br>
215: <p>
216: <a name=installboot></a>
217: <li><font color=#009000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX</strong></font><br>
1.13 pvalchev 218: i386 installboot had a sign extension bug which prevented proper bootblock
1.1 deraadt 219: initialization when the root filesystem was placed beyond 4GB.
220: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/i386/installboot.patch>
221: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a><br>
222: Unfortunately, updated 2.4 install floppies are not available. Just ensure
223: that your root filesystem is below 4GB, for now.

239: The sparc hme(4) and be(4) drivers work poorly on some types of of SS-20
240: machines. This is because those machines lie, saying they support 64-bit DMA
241: bursting. No sun4m machines support that.
