All architectures
- 008: RELIABILITY FIX: June 15, 2001
twe(4)
mishandles the DMA mapping resulting in a kernel panic on unaligned data
transfers, induced by programs such as
disklabel(8)
and
dump(8).
A source code patch exists which remedies the problem.
This is the second version of the patch.
- 007: SECURITY FIX: June 15, 2001
A race condition exists in the kernel execve(2) implementation that opens a small window of vulnerability for a non-privileged user to ptrace(2) attach to a suid/sgid process.
A source code patch exists which remedies the problem.
- 006: SECURITY FIX: June 12, 2001
sshd(8)
allows users to delete arbitrary files named "cookies" if X11
forwarding is enabled. X11 forwarding is disabled by default.
A source code patch exists which remedies the problem.
- 005: RELIABILITY FIX: June 7, 2001
pwd_mkdb(8)
corrupts /etc/pwd.db when modifying an existing user.
A source code patch exists which remedies the problem.
- 004: RELIABILITY FIX: June 5, 2001
isakmpd(8)
will fail to use a certificate with an identity string that is
exactly N * 8 bytes long.
A source code patch exists which remedies the problem.
- 003: DOCUMENTATION FIX: June 1, 2001
The 2.9 CD cover states that XFree86 3.3.6-current is included. This is only half-true.
In fact, the XFree86 included for all architectures is 4.0.3. On the i386, the
3.3.6 Xservers have also been included, because 4.0.3 still has weak support for
some devices which 3.3.6 supported better.
- 002: SECURITY FIX: May 30, 2001
Programs using the fts(3)
routines (such as rm, find, and most programs that take a -R
flag) can be tricked into changing into the wrong directory if the
parent dir is changed out from underneath it. This is similar to
the old fts bug but happens when popping out of directories, as
opposed to descending into them.
A source code patch exists which remedies the problem.
This is the second version of the patch.
- 001: SECURITY FIX: May 29, 2001
The signal handlers in sendmail(8) contain code that is unsafe in the
context of a signal handler. This leads to potentially serious
race conditions. At the moment this is a theoretical attack only
and can only be exploited on the local host (if at all).
A source code patch exists which remedies the problem by updating sendmail to version 8.11.4.
i386
- When using a PS/2 keyboard with an MSI K7T Pro2A motherboard, it may be
necessary to disable the "USB Keyboard Support" and
"USB Mouse Support" options in the BIOS. Otherwise, the i8042
keyboard controller doesn't acknowledge commands, confusing OpenBSD.
