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

50: The procfs and fdescfs filesystems had an overrun in their handling
51: of uio_offset in their readdir() routines. (These filesystems are not
52: enabled by default).

64: Packets that should have been handled by IPsec may be transmitted
65: as cleartext. PF_KEY SA expirations may leak kernel resources.

72: In /etc/rc, use mktemp(1) for motd re-writing, and change the find(1)
73: to use -execdir.

79: Do not permit regular users to chflags(2) or fchflags(2) on character or
80: block devices which they may currently be the owner of.

85: <li><font color=#009000><strong>SECURITY FIX: Jul 27, 1999</strong></font><br>
86: Cause groff(1) to be invoked with the -S flag, when called by nroff(1),
87: to avoid various groff features which may be security issues. On the
88: whole, this is not really a security issue, but it was discussed on
89: BUGTRAQ as if it is.

103: failure to retransmit correctly.

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