1.7 deraadt 45: <a name=semconfig></a>
46: <li><font color=#009000><strong>024: SECURITY FIX: May 26, 2000</strong></font><br>
47: Kernel contained an undocumented system call used to lock semaphore operations
48: while they were being sampled by the ipcs(1) command. This locking could be
1.8 deraadt 49: used as a local denial of service attack which would block the exiting of
50: processes which had semaphore resources allocated. Processes not using
51: semaphores are not affected, so the actual effect is very minimal.<br>
1.7 deraadt 52: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/024_sysv_sem.patch>

1.4 kjell 59: <i>keep-state</i> rules can result in firewall rules being
1.5 deraadt 60: bypassed.
61: This patch also includes fixes for an unaligned timestamp issue,
1.4 kjell 62: and reliability fixes for ipmon and the in-kernel ftp proxy.<br>
63: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/023_ipf.patch>
64: A jumbo patch exists</a>, which remedies this problem, and updates ipf
65: to version 3.3.16.

1.2 deraadt 67: <a name=xlockmore></a>
68: <li><font color=#009000><strong>022: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000</strong></font><br>
69: xlockmore has a localhost attack against it which allows recovery of the encrypted
70: hash of the root password. The damage to systems using DES passwords from this
71: attack is pretty heavy, but to systems with a well-chosen root password under
72: blowfish encoding
73: (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=crypt&sektion=3">
74: crypt(3)</a>)
75: the impact is much reduced.<br>
76: (Aside: We do not consider this a localhost root hole in the default install,
77: since we have not seen a fast blowfish cracker yet ;-)<br>
1.3 deraadt 78: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/022_xlockmore.patch>
1.6 deraadt 79: A source code patch exists, which remedies this problem. This is the 2nd patch designed to solve this problem.</a>

82: <li><font color=#009000><strong>021: RZSZ SNOOPING: Jan 31, 2000</strong></font><br>
83: The rzsz port was removed from the ports collection, as it collects and
84: sends user information to a designated email address, effectively spying on
85: you. <em>It is recommended that you remove this package if you installed
86: it</em>.
87: <p>
88: <a name=syslog></a>
89: <li><font color=#009000><strong>020: LIBRARY IMPROVEMENT: Jan 26, 2000</strong></font><br>
90: syslog(3) would not try to reopen the socket, thus, nightly newsyslog(8)
91: would cause syslogd(8) to not see new messages.

103: <li><font color=#009000><strong>018: SECURITY FIX: Jan 20, 2000</strong></font><br>
104: Systems running with procfs enabled and mounted are vulnerable
105: to having the stderr output of setuid processes directed onto
106: a pre-seeked descriptor onto the stack in their own procfs memory.<br>
107: Note that procfs is not mounted by default in OpenBSD.<br>
108: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/018_procfs.patch>

150: <a name=sslUSA></a>
151: <li><font color=#009000><strong>016: SECURITY FIX: Dec 2, 1999</strong></font><br>
152: A buffer overflow in the RSAREF code included in the
153: USA version of the libssl package (called <strong>sslUSA</strong>, is
154: possibly exploitable in isakmpd if SSL/RSA features
155: are enabled or used.<br>
156: <a href=http://www.openssh.com>OpenSSH</a> and httpd (with -DSSL) are not
157: vulnerable.<br>
158: <strong>NOTE: International users using the ssl26 package are not affected.</strong>
159: <p>
160: To check what package you are using, use
161: <pre>
162: <b>#</b> pkg_info sslUSA26
163: </pre>
164: The patched library says:<br>
165: "ssl26.1 USA-only non-commercial crypto libs incl. SSL & RSA"
166: <p>
167: Non-commercial USA users who installed the ssl package before December 3
168: should upgrade their <strong>sslUSA26</strong> package using:<br>
169: <pre>
170: <b>#</b> pkg_delete sslUSA26
171: <b>#</b> pkg_add -v sslUSA26.tar.gz
172: </pre>
173: Using the new <strong>sslUSA26.tar.gz</strong> files which have been placed
174: on the FTP mirrors.<br>
175: <a href=advisories/sslUSA>For more information, see the advisory</a>.<br>
176: <strong>NOTE: this problem turned out to not be unexploitable in OpenSSH.</strong>
