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

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

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