Patches for the OpenBSD base system are distributed as unified diffs.
Each patch contains usage instructions.
All the following patches are also available in one
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.0.tar.gz">tar.gz file</a>
for convenience.
<p>
Patches for supported releases are also incorporated into the
<a href="stable.html">-stable branch</a>.

<li id="hosts">
<strong>001: INSTALL ISSUE: November 12, 2001</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
A small bug in the installation script causes the <code>/etc/hosts</code> file to
be incorrectly formed.<br>
The resulting file contains a line which reads like:<p>
<code> #.#.#.# hostname. hostname</code>
<p>
This line should actually read something like:<p>
<code> #.#.#.# hostname.domainname.com hostname</code>
<p>
To correct this problem, simply edit the file and insert the domainname in
the required place.

<li id="sshd">
<strong>002: SECURITY FIX: November 12, 2001</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-3.0/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>
is being upgraded from OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2 to fix a few problems:
<p>
<ul>
<li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
<br>
By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
has been properly configured.
<p>
<li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
patch as well.
<p>
<li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
<i>sshd</i> option
<p>
<li>Various other non-critical fixes.
</ul>
<p>
Effectively an upgrade of OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2.

<li id="sparc64cd">
<strong>003: RELIABILITY FIX: November 12, 2001</strong>
<br>
Access to a CD drive on the PCI ultrasparc machines results in a continuous stream
of bogus interrupt messages, causing great user anguish.

<li id="vi.recover">
<strong>007: SECURITY FIX: November 13, 2001</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
A security issue exists in the vi.recover script that may allow an attacker
to remove arbitrary zero-length files, regardless of ownership.

<p>
<li id="lpd">
<strong>008: SECURITY FIX: November 28, 2001</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
A security issue exists in the lpd daemon that may allow an attacker
to create arbitrary new files in the root directory. Only machines
with line printer access (ie: listed in either /etc/hosts.lpd or
/etc/hosts.equiv) may be used to mount an attack and the attacker
must have root access on the machine. OpenBSD does not start lpd
in the default installation.<br>

<p>
<li id="macppcinstall">
<strong>009: INSTALLATION FIX: December 11, 2001</strong>
<br>
The 3.0 CD2 was created with an error which means that the instructions
for booting this architecture will not work. Instead, to boot the
CD, press Option-Command-O-F during power up to get into OpenFirmware
and then type:
<br>
<code>boot cd:,OFWBOOT /3.0/macppc/bsd.rd</code>
<p>
<li id="ipip">
<strong>010: RELIABILITY FIX: December 13, 2001</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Systems running with IP-in-IP encapsulation can be made to crash by
malformed packets.<br>

A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<li id="sudo">
<strong>011: SECURITY FIX: January 17, 2002</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
If the Postfix sendmail replacement is installed on a system an
attacker may be able to gain root privileges on the local host via
sudo(8) which runs the mailer as root with an environment inherited
from the invoking user. While this is a bug in sudo it is not
believed to be possible to exploit when sendmail (the mailer that
ships with OpenBSD) is the mailer. As of version 1.6.5, sudo passes
the mailer an environment that is not subject to influence from the
invoking user.<br>

A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<li id="ptrace">
<strong>012: SECURITY FIX: January 21, 2002</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
A race condition between the ptrace(2) and execve(2) system calls allows
an attacker to modify the memory contents of suid/sgid processes which
could lead to compromise of the super-user account.<br>

<li id="openssh">
<strong>014: SECURITY FIX: March 8, 2002</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
A local user can gain super-user privileges due to an off-by-one check
in the channel forwarding code of OpenSSH.<br>
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.0/common/014_openssh.patch">
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
<p>
<li id="zlib">
<strong>015: RELIABILITY FIX: March 13, 2002</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Under some circumstances the zlib compression library can free dynamically
allocated memory twice. This is not a security issue on OpenBSD since the BSD
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-3.0/free.3">free(3)</a>
function detects this.
There is also a kernel zlib component that may be used by pppd and IPsec.
The feasibility of attacking the kernel this way is currently unknown.<br>
