<ul>

<li>Add some overflow checks similar to the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=calloc&sektion=3">calloc(3)</a> patch to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.

<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=isakmpd&sektion=8">isakmpd(8)</a> support for certificate revocation lists.

<li>Prevent integer overflow in i386 USER_LDT code.

<li>Fix NFS's handling of zero-length RPC fragments.

<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace&sektion=1">systrace(1)</a> handles unlinking of a symlink correctly.

<li>Limit file size to 2^31 * PAGE_SIZE in FFS code.

<li>u_short -> u_int16_t in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mrouted&sektion=8">mtrouted(8)</a>.

<li>REVISED SECURITY FIX for the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xdr_array&sektion=3">xdr_array(3)</a> buffer overflow, see the <a href="errata.html#xdr">erratum</a>.

<a href="stable.html">[Applied to stable]</a>

<li>Spot zero-length keys or values in ypmatch_add(), and exit early.

<li>Broken by the removal of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=atexit&sektion=3">atexit(3)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=chpass&sektion=1">chpass(1)</a> now cleans up after itself properly again.

<li>Use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fork&sektion=2">fork(2)</a> instead of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vfork&sektion=2">vfork(2)</a> in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=make&sektion=1">make(1)</a>. Fixes hppa breakage.

<li>Back out the new <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=atexit&sektion=3">atexit(3)</a> handler changes which appear to break Perl somehow. Bugger.

<li>Get <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=calloc&sektion=3">calloc(3)</a> semantics right, while still not allowing the size_t overflow.

<li>Have libc <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=opendir&sektion=3">opendir(3)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scandir&sektion=3">scandir(3)</a> check for size_t overflows like the new calloc().

<li>Like in libc, fix the calloc() implementation in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=named&sektion=8">named(8)</a> (only used by a feature disabled in OpenBSD.)

<li>Lots of work on the sparc and sparc64 console drivers.

<li>Kernel IPsec was only doing ESP integrity checks on NICs that had already done so in hardware...

<li>Fix a typo that caused a potential null pointer dereference in kernel NFS.

<li>New 'PermitUserEnvironment' option for SSH. Off by default.

<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> now accepts an interface in most of the places it can take an IP address, and picks up all the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on that interface.
