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

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

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

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

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

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