41: In cron(8), make sure argv[] is NULL terminated in the fake popen() and
42: run sendmail as the user, not as root.

84: Cause groff(1) to be invoked with the -S flag, when called by nroff(1),
85: to avoid various groff features which may be security issues. On the
86: whole, this is not really a security issue, but it was discussed on
87: BUGTRAQ as if it is.

119: <a name=pfkey></a>
120: <li><font color=#009000><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font><br>
121: PF_KEY socket operations leak internal kernel resources, so that a
122: system running an IPsec keymanagement daemon like photurisd or isakmpd
123: will cause the networking subsystem to stop working after a finite amount
124: of time.
