<li id="p001_bind">
<strong>001: RELIABILITY FIX: July 29, 2009</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
A vulnerability has been found in BIND's named server
(<a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0696">CVE-2009-0696</a>).
An attacker could crash a server with a specially crafted dynamic update message to a
zone for which the server is master.

<li id="p002_xmm">
<strong>002: RELIABILITY FIX: October 05, 2009</strong>
&nbsp; <i>i386 only</i><br>
XMM exceptions are not correctly handled resulting in a kernel panic.

<strong>003: RELIABILITY FIX: October 28, 2009</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
getsockopt(2) with any of IP_AUTH_LEVEL, IP_ESP_TRANS_LEVEL, IP_ESP_NETWORK_LEVEL,
IP_IPCOMP_LEVEL will crash the system.

<li id="p004_openssl">
<strong>004: SECURITY FIX: November 26, 2009</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
The SSL/TLS protocol is subject to man-in-the-middle attacks related to
renegotiation (see CVE-2009-3555, draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation-00).
OpenSSL permitted this protocol feature by default and had no way to
disable it.

<li id="p005_ptrace">
<strong>005: RELIABILITY FIX: January 29, 2010</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
By using ptrace(2) on an ancestor process, a loop in the process tree
could be created, violating assumptions in other parts of the kernel
and resulting in infinite loops.

<li id="p006_openssl">
<strong>006: SECURITY FIX: March 12, 2010</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
OpenSSL is susceptible to a buffer overflow due to a failure
to check for NULL returns from bn_wexpand function calls.

<li id="p007_ftpd">
<strong>007: RELIABILITY FIX: March 12, 2010</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
Due to a null pointer dereference, it would be possible to crash ftpd when
handling glob(3)'ing requests. This is non-exploitable.

<li id="p008_kerberos">
<strong>008: RELIABILITY FIX: March 31, 2010</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
When decrypting packets, the internal decryption functions were not
paranoid enough in checking for underruns, which could potentially
lead to crashes.

<li id="p009_mpi">
<strong>009: RELIABILITY FIX: April 4, 2010</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
When updating sensors showing the state of RAID volumes
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-4.6/mpi.4">mpi(4)</a>
allocates temporary memory and then returns it to the kernel as
device memory.
This causes kernel memory usage to be misrepresented, eventually
leading to a denial of service when a resource limit is apparently
reached.

<li id="p010_openssl">
<strong>010: SECURITY FIX: April 14, 2010</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
In TLS connections, certain incorrectly formatted records can cause
an OpenSSL client or server to crash due to a read attempt at NULL.

Incorrectly initialized state updates can cause pfsync update storms.

<strong>012: RELIABILITY FIX: May 14, 2010</strong>
&nbsp; <i>All architectures</i><br>
Insufficient protection of the trunk interface queues may cause
LACP trunks to fail under load.
