Patches for the OpenBSD base system are distributed as unified diffs.
Each patch contains usage instructions.
All the following patches are also available in one
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.5.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>.

<li id="cron">
<font color="#009000"><strong>SECURITY FIX: Aug 30, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
In cron(8), make sure argv[] is NULL terminated in the fake popen() and
run sendmail as the user, not as root.

<p>
<li id="miscfs">
<font color="#009000"><strong>SECURITY FIX: Aug 12, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
The procfs and fdescfs filesystems had an overrun in their handling
of uio_offset in their readdir() routines. (These filesystems are not
enabled by default).
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.5/common/011_miscfs.patch">

<p>
<li id="profil">
<font color="#009000"><strong>SECURITY FIX: Aug 9, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Stop profiling (see profil(2)) when we execve() a new process.

<p>
<li id="ipsec_in_use">
<font color="#009000"><strong>SECURITY FIX: Aug 6, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Packets that should have been handled by IPsec may be transmitted
as cleartext. PF_KEY SA expirations may leak kernel resources.

<p>
<li id="rc">
<font color="#009000"><strong>SECURITY FIX: Aug 5, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
In /etc/rc, use mktemp(1) for motd re-writing, and change the find(1)
to use -execdir.
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.5/common/008_rc.patch">

<p>
<li id="chflags">
<font color="#009000"><strong>SECURITY FIX: Jul 30, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Do not permit regular users to chflags(2) or fchflags(2) on character or
block devices which they may currently be the owner of.

<p>
<li id="nroff">
<font color="#009000"><strong>SECURITY FIX: Jul 27, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Cause groff(1) to be invoked with the -S flag, when called by nroff(1),
to avoid various groff features which may be security issues. On the
whole, this is not really a security issue, but it was discussed on
BUGTRAQ as if it is.

<p>
<li id="fts">
<font color="#009000"><strong>RELIABILITY FIX: May 19, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Programs using fts(3) could dump core when given a directory structure
with a very large number of entries.

<p>
<li id="tcpsack">
<font color="#009000"><strong>RELIABILITY FIX: May 19, 1999</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Sequence numbers could wrap with TCP_SACK and TCP_NEWRENO, resulting in
failure to retransmit correctly.

<font color="#009000"><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
Retransmitted TCP packets could get corrupted when flowing over an
IPSEC ESP tunnel.

<p>
<li id="bmap">
<font color="#009000"><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
A local user can crash the system by reading a file larger than 64meg
from an ext2fs partition.

<p>
<li id="pfkey">
<font color="#009000"><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font>
<i>All architectures</i><br>
PF_KEY socket operations leak internal kernel resources, so that a
system running an IPsec key management daemon like photurisd or isakmpd
will cause the networking subsystem to stop working after a finite amount
of time.

<li id="y2k">
<font color="#009000"><strong>Y2K FIX: Aug 30, 1999</strong></font><br>
This patch corrects various OpenBSD/i386 2.5 problems with Y2K. The 2.6
release (released at 1 Dec 1999) has this problem solved. This patch is
just a workaround.

<li id="brooktree">
<font color="#009000"><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font><br>
If a user opened the brooktree device on a system where it did not exist,
the kernel crashed.

<p>
<li id="macutils">
<font color="#009000"><strong>INSTALL PROBLEM</strong></font><br>
The mac68k install utils were mistakenly left off the CD and out of
the FTP install directories. These tools have now been added to the
FTP install directories. See
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.5/mac68k/utils">

Two problems in the powerpc kernel trap handling cause severe system
unreliability.
