  • OpenBSD Errata: October 13th, 2017 (tcb_invalid)

    From T.J. Townsend@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 13 16:45:01 2017
    Errata patches have been released for OpenBSD 6.2 and 6.1.

    A local user could trigger a kernel panic by using an invalid TCB value.

    Binary updates for the amd64 platform are available via the syspatch
    utility. Source code patches can be found on the respective errata
    pages:

    https://www.openbsd.org/errata61.html
    https://www.openbsd.org/errata62.html

    As this affects the kernel, a reboot will be needed after patching.
