  • OpenBSD Errata: March 10th, 2020 (sysctl)

    From T.J. Townsend@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 10 17:35:01 2020
    Errata patches for the kernel have been released for OpenBSD 6.5 and 6.6.

    Missing input validation in sysctl(2) can be used to crash the kernel.

    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/errata65.html
    https://www.openbsd.org/errata66.html

    As these affect the kernel, a reboot will be needed after patching.
