SECURITY FIX: Aug 30, 1999
In cron(8), make sure argv[] is NULL terminated in the fake popen() and run sendmail as the user, not as root. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
SECURITY FIX: Aug 12, 1999
The procfs and fdescfs filesystems had an overrun in their handling of uio_offset in their readdir() routines. (These filesystems are not enabled by default). ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
SECURITY FIX: Aug 9, 1999
Stop profiling (see profil(2)) when we execve() a new process. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
SECURITY FIX: Aug 6, 1999
Packets that should have been handled by IPsec may be transmitted as cleartext. PF_KEY SA expirations may leak kernel resources. A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
SECURITY FIX: Aug 5, 1999
In /etc/rc, use mktemp(1) for motd re-writing, and change the find(1) to use -execdir. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
SECURITY FIX: Jul 30, 1999
Do not permit regular users to chflags(2) or fchflags(2) on character or block devices which they may currently be the owner of. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
SECURITY FIX: Jul 27, 1999
Cause groff(1) to be invoked with the -S flag, when called by nroff(1), to avoid various groff features which may be security issues. On the whole, this is not really a security issue, but it was discussed on BUGTRAQ as if it is. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
RELIABILITY FIX: May 19, 1999
Programs using fts(3) could dump core when given a directory structure with a very large number of entries. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
RELIABILITY FIX: May 19, 1999
Sequence numbers could wrap with TCP_SACK and TCP_NEWRENO, resulting in failure to retransmit correctly. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
RELIABILITY FIX
Retransmitted TCP packets could get corrupted when flowing over an IPSEC ESP tunnel. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
RELIABILITY FIX
A local user can crash the system by reading a file larger than 64meg from an ext2fs partition. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
RELIABILITY FIX
PF_KEY socket operations leak internal kernel resources, so that a system running an IPsec key management daemon like photurisd or isakmpd will cause the networking subsystem to stop working after a finite amount of time. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.

i386

Y2K FIX: Aug 30, 1999
This patch corrects various OpenBSD/i386 2.5 problems with Y2K. The 2.6 release (released at 1 Dec 1999) has this problem solved. This patch is just a workaround. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
!
RELIABILITY FIX
If a user opened the brooktree device on a system where it did not exist, the kernel crashed. ! A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
