41: <li><font color=#009000><strong>023: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000</strong></font><br>
1.5 deraadt 42: A misuse of
43: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipf&sektion=8">ipf(8)</a>
1.4 kjell 44: <i>keep-state</i> rules can result in firewall rules being
1.5 deraadt 45: bypassed.
46: This patch also includes fixes for an unaligned timestamp issue,
1.4 kjell 47: and reliability fixes for ipmon and the in-kernel ftp proxy.<br>
48: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/023_ipf.patch>
49: A jumbo patch exists</a>, which remedies this problem, and updates ipf
50: to version 3.3.16.

53: <li><font color=#009000><strong>022: SECURITY FIX: May 25, 2000</strong></font><br>
54: xlockmore has a localhost attack against it which allows recovery of the encrypted
55: hash of the root password. The damage to systems using DES passwords from this
56: attack is pretty heavy, but to systems with a well-chosen root password under
57: blowfish encoding
58: (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=crypt&sektion=3">
59: crypt(3)</a>)
60: the impact is much reduced.<br>
61: (Aside: We do not consider this a localhost root hole in the default install,
62: since we have not seen a fast blowfish cracker yet ;-)<br>
1.3 deraadt 63: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.6/common/022_xlockmore.patch>
1.6 ! deraadt 64: A source code patch exists, which remedies this problem. This is the 2nd patch designed to solve this problem.</a>

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

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

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

135: <a name=sslUSA></a>
136: <li><font color=#009000><strong>016: SECURITY FIX: Dec 2, 1999</strong></font><br>
137: A buffer overflow in the RSAREF code included in the
138: USA version of the libssl package (called <strong>sslUSA</strong>, is
139: possibly exploitable in isakmpd if SSL/RSA features
140: are enabled or used.<br>
141: <a href=http://www.openssh.com>OpenSSH</a> and httpd (with -DSSL) are not
142: vulnerable.<br>
143: <strong>NOTE: International users using the ssl26 package are not affected.</strong>
144: <p>
145: To check what package you are using, use
146: <pre>
147: <b>#</b> pkg_info sslUSA26
148: </pre>
149: The patched library says:<br>
150: "ssl26.1 USA-only non-commercial crypto libs incl. SSL & RSA"
151: <p>
152: Non-commercial USA users who installed the ssl package before December 3
153: should upgrade their <strong>sslUSA26</strong> package using:<br>
154: <pre>
155: <b>#</b> pkg_delete sslUSA26
156: <b>#</b> pkg_add -v sslUSA26.tar.gz
157: </pre>

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