On systems running
isakmpd(8)
it is possible for a local user to cause kernel memory corruption
and system panic by setting
ipsec(4)
credentials on a socket.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
034: RELIABILITY FIX: November 10, 2004
All architectures
Due to a bug in
lynx(1)
it is possible for pages such as
this
to cause
lynx(1)
to exhaust memory and then crash when parsing such pages.

-
033: RELIABILITY FIX: November 10, 2004
All architectures
pppd(8)
contains a bug that allows an attacker to crash his own connection, but it cannot
be used to deny service to other users.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
032: RELIABILITY FIX: November 10, 2004
All architectures
BIND contains a bug which results in BIND trying to contact nameservers via IPv6, even in
cases where IPv6 connectivity is non-existent. This results in unnecessary timeouts and
thus slow DNS queries.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
031: SECURITY FIX: September 20, 2004
All architectures
Eilko Bos reported that radius authentication, as implemented by
login_radius(8),
was not checking the shared secret used for replies sent by the radius server.
This could allow an attacker to spoof a reply granting access to the
attacker. Note that OpenBSD does not ship with radius authentication enabled.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
030: SECURITY FIX: September 16, 2004
All architectures
Chris Evans reported several flaws (stack and integer overflows) in the
Xpm
library code that parses image files
(CAN-2004-0687,
CAN-2004-0688).
Some of these would be exploitable when parsing malicious image files in
an application that handles XPM images, if they could escape ProPolice.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
029: SECURITY FIX: September 10, 2004
All architectures
httpd(8)
's mod_rewrite module can be made to write one zero byte in an arbitrary memory
position outside of a char array, causing a DoS or possibly buffer overflows.
This would require enabling dbm for mod_rewrite and making use of a malicious
dbm file.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
028: RELIABILITY FIX: August 26, 2004
All architectures
As
reported
by Vafa Izadinia

-
023: SECURITY FIX: June 9, 2004
All architectures
Multiple remote vulnerabilities have been found in the
cvs(1)
server that allow an attacker to crash the server or possibly execute arbitrary
code with the same privileges as the CVS server program.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
022: SECURITY FIX: May 30, 2004
All architectures
A flaw in the Kerberos V
kdc(8)
server could result in the administrator of a Kerberos realm having
the ability to impersonate any principal in any other realm which
has established a cross-realm trust with their realm. The flaw is due to
inadequate checking of the "transited" field in a Kerberos request. For
more details see
Heimdal's announcement.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
021: SECURITY FIX: May 20, 2004
All architectures

Pathname validation problems have been found in
cvs(1),
allowing malicious clients to create files outside the repository, allowing
malicious servers to overwrite files outside the local CVS tree on
the client and allowing clients to check out files outside the CVS
repository.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
016: RELIABILITY FIX: March 17, 2004
All architectures
A missing check for a NULL-pointer dereference has been found in
ssl(3).

this may lead to a denial of service.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
015: RELIABILITY FIX: March 17, 2004
All architectures
Defects in the payload validation and processing functions of
isakmpd(8)
have been discovered. An attacker could send malformed ISAKMP messages and
cause isakmpd to crash or to loop endlessly. This patch fixes these problems
and removes some memory leaks.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
014: SECURITY FIX: March 13, 2004
All architectures
Due to a bug in the parsing of Allow/Deny rules for
httpd(8)'s
access module, using IP addresses without a netmask on big endian 64-bit
platforms causes the rules to fail to match. This only affects sparc64.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
013: RELIABILITY FIX: March 8, 2004
All architectures
OpenBSD's TCP/IP stack did not impose limits on how many out-of-order
TCP segments are queued in the system. An attacker could
send out-of-order TCP segments and trick the system into using all
available memory buffers.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
012: RELIABILITY FIX: February 14, 2004
All architectures
Several buffer overflows exist in the code parsing
font.aliases files in XFree86. Thanks to ProPolice, these cannot be
exploited to gain privileges, but they can cause the X server to abort.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
011: SECURITY FIX: February 8, 2004
All architectures
An IPv6 MTU handling problem exists that could be used by an attacker
to cause a denial of service attack against hosts with reachable IPv6
TCP ports.

sysctl(3) with certain arguments.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
006: SECURITY FIX: November 17, 2003
i386 only
It may be possible for a local user to overrun the stack in
compat_ibcs2(8).
ProPolice catches this, turning a potential privilege escalation into a denial
of service. iBCS2 emulation does not need to be enabled via
sysctl(8)
for this to happen.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
005: RELIABILITY FIX: November 4, 2003
All architectures
It is possible for a local user to cause a system panic by executing a specially crafted binary with an invalid header.

-
004: RELIABILITY FIX: November 1, 2003
All architectures
A user with write permission to httpd.conf or a .htaccess
file can crash
httpd(8)
or potentially run arbitrary code as the user www (although it
is believed that ProPolice will prevent code execution).
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
003: RELIABILITY FIX: November 1, 2003
All architectures
It is possible for a local user to cause a system panic by flooding it with spoofed ARP
requests.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
002: SECURITY FIX: November 1, 2003
All architectures
The use of certain ASN.1 encodings or malformed public keys may allow an
attacker to mount a denial of service attack against applications linked with
ssl(3).
This does not affect OpenSSH.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
001: DOCUMENTATION FIX: November 1, 2003
All architectures
The CD insert documentation has an incorrect example for package installation.
Where it is written:
# pkg_add https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.4/packages/i386
It should instead read:
# pkg_add https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.4/packages/i386/
The extra / at the end is important. We do not make
patch files available for things printed on paper.
