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/4.8.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>.

<strong>010: RELIABILITY FIX: February 16, 2011</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-4.8/sis.4">sis(4)</a>
driver may hand over stale ring descriptors to the hardware if the compiler decides
to re-order stores or if the hardware does store-reordering.

<li id="p009_pf">
<strong>009: SECURITY FIX: February 16, 2011</strong>
<i>Little-endian
architectures</i><br>
PF rules specifying address ranges (e.g. "10.1.1.1 - 10.1.1.5") were
not correctly handled on little-endian systems (alpha, amd64, arm, i386,
mips64el, vax). Other address types (bare addresses "10.1.1.1" and
prefixes "10.1.1.1/30") are not affected.

<li id="p008_openssl">
<strong>008: SECURITY FIX: February 11, 2011</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
An incorrectly formatted ClientHello handshake message could cause
OpenSSL to parse past the end of the message. An attacker could use this flaw
to trigger an invalid memory access, causing a crash of an application linked
to OpenSSL. As well, certain applications may expose the contents of parsed
OCSP extensions, specifically the OCSP nonce extension.
<p>
Applications are only affected if they act as a server and call
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb on the server's SSL_CTX. It is believed
that nothing in the base OS uses this. Apache httpd started using this
in v2.3.3; this is newer than the version in ports.

<li id="p007_rtsock">
<strong>007: RELIABILITY FIX: January 13, 2011</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
sp_protocol in RTM_DELETE messages could contain garbage values
leading to routing socket users that restrict the AF (such as ospfd)
not seeing any of the RTM_DELETE messages.

<li id="p006_cbc">
<strong>006: RELIABILITY FIX: December 17, 2010</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Bring CBC oracle attack countermeasures to hardware crypto accelerator land.
This fixes aes-ni, via xcrypt and various drivers

<li id="p005_pf">
<strong>005: SECURITY FIX: December 17, 2010</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Insufficient initialization of the pf rule structure in the ioctl
handler may allow userland to modify kernel memory. By default root
privileges are needed to add or modify pf rules.

<li id="p004_openssl">
<strong>004: RELIABILITY FIX: November 17, 2010</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Fix a flaw in the OpenSSL TLS server extension code parsing which could lead to
a buffer overflow. This affects OpenSSL based TLS servers which are multi-threaded
and use OpenSSL's internal caching mechanism. Servers that are multi-process
and/or disable internal session caching are not affected.

<li id="p002_pci">
<strong>002: RELIABILITY FIX: November 16, 2010</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Certain PCI based hardware may improperly announce their Base Address
Registers as prefetchable even though they are not. This may cause
unpredictable effects due to wrongly mapped memory.

<strong>001: RELIABILITY FIX: November 16, 2010</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Uninitialized memory may force the RDE into route-collector mode on startup and
may prevent bgpd from updating or announcing any routes.
