Patches for the OpenBSD base system are distributed as unified diffs.
Each patch is cryptographically signed with the
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-5.6/signify.1">signify(1)</a> tool and contains
usage instructions.
All the following patches are also available in one
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/5.6.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>.

If IPv6 autoconf is active on an interface and the autoconfprivacy extension is used,
redundant addresses are added whenever an autoconfprivacy address expires.
The autoconfprivacy extension is used by default and can be disabled with ifconfig(8)

A PF rule using an IPv4 address
followed by an IPv6 address and then a dynamic address, e.g. "pass

<strong>009: RELIABILITY FIX: November 18, 2014</strong>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
httpd was developed very rapidly in the weeks before 5.6 release, and
it has a few flaws. It would be nice to get these flaws fully
remediated before the next release, and that requires the community to
want to use it. Therefore here is a "jumbo" patch that brings in the
most important fixes.

<br>
<i>Unfortunately the source tree found on the CD set contains a slightly different
checkout, from just before the release was finished and is missing a few httpd
commits. Therefore, the patch above will not apply correctly. Users are encouraged
to use cvs to get the latest httpd sources if interested.</i>
