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

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

196: A small bug in the installation script causes the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file to

198: The resulting file contains a line which reads like:<p>
199: <tt>
200: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname

203: This line should actually read something like:<p>

205: #.#.#.# hostname.domainname.com hostname
