By using ptrace(2) on an ancestor process, a loop in the process tree
could be created, violating assumptions in other parts of the kernel
and resulting in infinite loops.

The SSL/TLS protocol is subject to man-in-the-middle attacks related to
renegotiation (see CVE-2009-3555, draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation-00).
OpenSSL permitted this protocol feature by default and had no way to
disable it.

A vulnerability has been found in BIND's named server
(<a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0696">CVE-2009-0696</a>).
An attacker could crash a server with a specially crafted dynamic update message to a
zone for which the server is master.

<font color="#009000"><strong>006: RELIABILITY FIX: June 24, 2009</strong></font> &nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
An off-by-one error in the inflate function in Zlib.xs in the
Compress::Raw::Zlib perl module before 2.017 (<a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1391">CVE-2009-1391</a>),
as used in AMaViS, SpamAssassin, and possibly other products,
allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(hang or crash) via a crafted zlib compressed stream that
triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

<li><a name="005_audio"></a>
<font color="#009000"><strong>005: RELIABILITY FIX: April 24, 2009</strong></font> &nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
On very high system load, an audio interrupt may occur while the
audio process is filling audio ring buffers. This triggers bogus
(and useless) correction code in the 
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=audio&sektion=4">audio(4)</a>
driver causing the audio application to go out of sync, and in turn causing
continuous stuttering until the application is restarted.

<font color="#009000"><strong>004: RELIABILITY FIX: April 24, 2009</strong></font> &nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
In server mode when in full-duplex mode (the default)
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aucat&sektion=1">aucat(1)</a>
will send each synchronization message twice, causing client applications
to think that buffer underruns are occuring.  Depending on the
application, this may cause the sound to stutter.

<font color="#009000"><strong>003: RELIABILITY FIX: April 24, 2009</strong></font> &nbsp; <i>i386 only</i><br>
When DMA'able memory is mapped by device drivers, the
mapping flags and protection are partially uninitialized.
Depending on the calling context, this may cause devices to misbehave, like
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=audio&sektion=4">audio(4)</a>
to stutter, but other anomalies might be observed for other
device types.

<li><a name="002_pf"></a>
<font color="#009000"><strong>002: RELIABILITY FIX: April 11, 2009</strong></font> &nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
When pf attempts to perform translation on a specially crafted IP datagram,
a null pointer dereference will occur, resulting in a kernel panic.
In certain configurations this may be triggered by a remote attacker.
<br>
Restricting translation rules to protocols that are specific to the IP version
in use, is an effective workaround until the patch can be installed. As an
example, for IPv4 nat/binat/rdr rules you can use:
<pre>
    nat/rdr ... inet proto { tcp udp icmp } ...
</pre>
Or for IPv6 nat/binat/rdr rules you can use:
<pre>
    nat/rdr ... inet6 proto { tcp udp icmp6 } ...
</pre>

<font color="#009000"><strong>001: RELIABILITY FIX: April 8, 2009</strong></font> &nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
The OpenSSL ASN.1 handling code could be forced to perform invalid memory
accesses through the use of certain invalid strings
(<a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0590">CVE-2009-0590</a>)
or under certain error conditions triggerable by invalid ASN.1 structures
(<a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0789">CVE-2009-0789</a>).
These vulnerabilities could be exploited to achieve a
denial-of-service. A more detailed description of these problems is available
in the
<a href="http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20090325.txt">OpenSSL security advisory</a>, but note that the other issue described there "Incorrect Error
Checking During CMS verification" relates to code not enabled in OpenBSD.
