• OpenBSD Errata: May 3rd, 2019 (rip6cksum)

    From T.J. Townsend@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 2 07:00:02 2019
    Errata patches for the kernel have been released for OpenBSD 6.3, 6.4,
    and 6.5.

    If a userland program sets the IPv6 checksum offset on a raw socket,
    an incoming packet could crash the kernel. ospf6d is such a program.

    Binary updates for the amd64, i386, and arm64 platforms are available
    via the syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the
    respective errata page:

    https://www.openbsd.org/errata63.html
    https://www.openbsd.org/errata64.html
    https://www.openbsd.org/errata65.html

    As these affect the kernel, a reboot will be needed after patching.
    Note that this is the last erratum for OpenBSD 6.3.
