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

55: The procfs and fdescfs filesystems had an overrun in their handling

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

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

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

100: Programs using fts(3) could dump core when given a directory structure
101: with a very large number of entries.

108: failure to retransmit correctly.

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