1.7 deraadt 50: <a name=semconfig></a>
51: <li><font color=#009000><strong>024: SECURITY FIX: May 26, 2000</strong></font><br>
52: Kernel contained an undocumented system call used to lock semaphore operations
53: while they were being sampled by the ipcs(1) command. This locking could be
1.8 deraadt 54: used as a local denial of service attack which would block the exiting of
55: processes which had semaphore resources allocated. Processes not using
56: semaphores are not affected, so the actual effect is very minimal.<br>
1.7 deraadt 57: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/024_sysv_sem.patch>

1.14 horacio 62: A misuse of ipf(8)
1.4 kjell 63: <i>keep-state</i> rules can result in firewall rules being
1.5 deraadt 64: bypassed.
65: This patch also includes fixes for an unaligned timestamp issue,

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

1.2 deraadt 71: <a name=xlockmore></a>
72: <li><font color=#009000><strong>022: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000</strong></font><br>
73: xlockmore has a localhost attack against it which allows recovery of the encrypted
74: hash of the root password. The damage to systems using DES passwords from this
75: attack is pretty heavy, but to systems with a well-chosen root password under
76: blowfish encoding
77: (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=crypt&sektion=3">
78: crypt(3)</a>)
79: the impact is much reduced.<br>
80: (Aside: We do not consider this a localhost root hole in the default install,
81: since we have not seen a fast blowfish cracker yet ;-)<br>
1.3 deraadt 82: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/022_xlockmore.patch>
1.6 deraadt 83: A source code patch exists, which remedies this problem. This is the 2nd patch designed to solve this problem.</a>

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

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

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

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

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