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

153: to create arbitrary new files in the root directory. Only machines
154: with line printer access (ie: listed in either /etc/hosts.lpd or

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

207: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname
