024: SECURITY FIX: May 26, 2000
Kernel contained an undocumented system call used to lock semaphore operations while they were being sampled by the ipcs(1) command. This locking could be used as a local denial of service attack which would block the exiting of processes which had semaphore resources allocated. Processes not using semaphores are not affected, so the actual effect is very minimal.

022: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000
xlockmore has a localhost attack against it which allows recovery of the encrypted hash of the root password. The damage to systems using DES passwords from this attack is pretty heavy, but to systems with a well-chosen root password under blowfish encoding -(see +(see crypt(3)) the impact is much reduced.
(Aside: We do not consider this a localhost root hole in the default install, since we have not seen a fast blowfish cracker yet ;-)
