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

1.4 kjell 66: <i>keep-state</i> rules can result in firewall rules being
1.5 deraadt 67: bypassed.
68: This patch also includes fixes for an unaligned timestamp issue,

70: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/023_ipf.patch>

75: <li><font color=#009000><strong>022: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000</strong></font><br>
76: xlockmore has a localhost attack against it which allows recovery of the encrypted
77: hash of the root password. The damage to systems using DES passwords from this
78: attack is pretty heavy, but to systems with a well-chosen root password under
79: blowfish encoding
80: (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=crypt&sektion=3">
81: crypt(3)</a>)
82: the impact is much reduced.<br>
83: (Aside: We do not consider this a localhost root hole in the default install,
84: since we have not seen a fast blowfish cracker yet ;-)<br>
1.3 deraadt 85: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/022_xlockmore.patch>

89: <li><font color=#009000><strong>021: RZSZ SNOOPING: Jan 31, 2000</strong></font><br>
90: The rzsz port was removed from the ports collection, as it collects and

92: you. <em>It is recommended that you remove this package if you installed
93: it</em>.

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

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

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