48: <li><font color=#009000><strong>024: SECURITY FIX: May 26, 2000</strong></font><br>
49: Kernel contained an undocumented system call used to lock semaphore operations
50: while they were being sampled by the ipcs(1) command. This locking could be
1.8 deraadt 51: used as a local denial of service attack which would block the exiting of
52: processes which had semaphore resources allocated. Processes not using
53: semaphores are not affected, so the actual effect is very minimal.<br>
1.7 deraadt 54: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/024_sysv_sem.patch>

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

70: <li><font color=#009000><strong>022: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000</strong></font><br>
71: xlockmore has a localhost attack against it which allows recovery of the encrypted
72: hash of the root password. The damage to systems using DES passwords from this
73: attack is pretty heavy, but to systems with a well-chosen root password under
74: blowfish encoding
75: (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=crypt&sektion=3">
76: crypt(3)</a>)
77: the impact is much reduced.<br>
78: (Aside: We do not consider this a localhost root hole in the default install,
79: since we have not seen a fast blowfish cracker yet ;-)<br>
1.3 deraadt 80: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/022_xlockmore.patch>
1.6 deraadt 81: A source code patch exists, which remedies this problem. This is the 2nd patch designed to solve this problem.</a>

84: <li><font color=#009000><strong>021: RZSZ SNOOPING: Jan 31, 2000</strong></font><br>
85: The rzsz port was removed from the ports collection, as it collects and
86: sends user information to a designated email address, effectively spying on
87: you. <em>It is recommended that you remove this package if you installed
88: it</em>.

90: <a name=syslog></a>
91: <li><font color=#009000><strong>020: LIBRARY IMPROVEMENT: Jan 26, 2000</strong></font><br>
92: syslog(3) would not try to reopen the socket, thus, nightly newsyslog(8)
93: would cause syslogd(8) to not see new messages.

106: Systems running with procfs enabled and mounted are vulnerable
107: to having the stderr output of setuid processes directed onto
108: a pre-seeked descriptor onto the stack in their own procfs memory.<br>
109: Note that procfs is not mounted by default in OpenBSD.<br>

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