122: If the Postfix sendmail replacement is installed on a system an
123: attacker may be able to gain root privileges on the local host via
124: sudo(8) which runs the mailer as root with an environment inherited
125: from the invoking user. While this is a bug in sudo it is not
126: believed to be possible to exploit when sendmail (the mailer that
127: ships with OpenBSD) is the mailer. As of version 1.6.5, sudo passes
128: the mailer an environment that is not subject to influence from the
129: invoking user.<br>

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

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

191: A small bug in the installation script causes the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file to
192: be incorrectly formed.<br>
193: The resulting file contains a line which reads like:<p>
194: <tt>
195: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname
196: </tt>
197: <p>
198: This line should actually read something like:<p>
199: <tt>
200: #.#.#.# hostname.domainname.com hostname
201: </tt>
202: <p>
203: To correct this problem, simply edit the file and insert the domainname in
204: the required place.
