112: If the Postfix sendmail replacement is installed on a system an
113: attacker may be able to gain root privileges on the local host via
114: sudo(8) which runs the mailer as root with an environment inherited
115: from the invoking user. While this is a bug in sudo it is not
116: believed to be possible to exploit when sendmail (the mailer that
117: ships with OpenBSD) is the mailer. As of version 1.6.5, sudo passes
118: the mailer an environment that is not subject to influence from the
119: invoking user.<br>

131: to create arbitrary new files in the root directory. Only machines
132: with line printer access (ie: listed in either /etc/hosts.lpd or
133: /etc/hosts.equiv) may be used to mount an attack and the attacker
134: must have root access on the machine. OpenBSD does not start lpd

156: is being upgraded from OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2 to fix a few problems:
157: <p>
158: <ul>
159: <li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
160: if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
161: <br>
162: By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
163: has been properly configured.
164: <p>
165: <li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
166: also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
167: patch as well.
168: <p>
169: <li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
170: <i>sshd</i> option
171: <p>
172: <li>Various other non-critical fixes.
173: </ul>
174: <p>
175: Effectively an upgrade of OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2,

181: A small bug in the installation script causes the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file to
182: be incorrectly formed.<br>
183: The resulting file contains a line which reads like:<p>
184: <tt>
185: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname
186: </tt>
187: <p>
188: This line should actually read something like:<p>
189: <tt>
190: #.#.#.# hostname.domainname.com hostname
191: </tt>
192: <p>
193: To correct this problem, simply edit the file and insert the domainname in
194: the required place.
