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

1.4 kjell 62: <i>keep-state</i> rules can result in firewall rules being
1.5 deraadt 63: bypassed.
64: This patch also includes fixes for an unaligned timestamp issue,

66: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/023_ipf.patch>
67: A jumbo patch exists</a>, which remedies this problem, and updates ipf
68: to version 3.3.16.

71: <li><font color=#009000><strong>022: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000</strong></font><br>
72: xlockmore has a localhost attack against it which allows recovery of the encrypted
73: hash of the root password. The damage to systems using DES passwords from this
74: attack is pretty heavy, but to systems with a well-chosen root password under
75: blowfish encoding
76: (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=crypt&sektion=3">
77: crypt(3)</a>)
78: the impact is much reduced.<br>
79: (Aside: We do not consider this a localhost root hole in the default install,
80: since we have not seen a fast blowfish cracker yet ;-)<br>
1.3 deraadt 81: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/022_xlockmore.patch>
1.6 deraadt 82: A source code patch exists, which remedies this problem. This is the 2nd patch designed to solve this problem.</a>

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

92: <li><font color=#009000><strong>020: LIBRARY IMPROVEMENT: Jan 26, 2000</strong></font><br>

94: would cause syslogd(8) to not see new messages.

110: Note that procfs is not mounted by default in OpenBSD.<br>

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

177: on the FTP mirrors.<br>
178: <a href=advisories/sslUSA>For more information, see the advisory</a>.<br>
179: <strong>NOTE: this problem turned out to not be unexploitable in OpenSSH.</strong>
