Openbsd: >> Openbsd >> 2.9 Security Vulnerabilities
syslogd on OpenBSD 2.9 through 3.2 does not change the source IP address of syslog packets when the machine's IP addressed is changed without rebooting, e.g. via ifconfig, which can cause incorrect information to be sent to the syslog server.

OpenBSD 2.9 through 3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) and gain root privileges by filling the kernel's file descriptor table and closing file descriptors 0, 1, or 2 before executing a privileged process, which is not properly handled when OpenBSD fails to open an alternate descriptor.

ktrace in BSD-based operating systems allows the owner of a process with special privileges to trace the process after its privileges have been lowered, which may allow the owner to obtain sensitive information that the process obtained while it was running with the extra privileges.

mail in OpenBSD 2.9 and 3.0 processes a tilde (~) escape character in a message even when it is not in interactive mode, which could allow local users to gain root privileges via calls to mail in cron.

The TCP implementation in various BSD operating systems (tcp_input.c) does not properly block connections to broadcast addresses, which could allow remote attackers to bypass intended filters via packets with a unicast link layer address and an IP broadcast address.

The uipc system calls (uipc_syscalls.c) in OpenBSD 2.9 and 3.0 provide user mode return instead of versus rval kernel mode values to the fdrelease function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and trigger a null dereference.

Buffer overflow in BSD line printer daemon (in.lpd or lpd) in various BSD-based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an incomplete print job followed by a request to display the printer queue.

fts routines in FreeBSD 4.3 and earlier, NetBSD before 1.5.2, and OpenBSD 2.9 and earlier can be forced to change (chdir) into a different directory than intended when the directory above the current directory is moved, which could cause scripts to perform dangerous actions on the wrong directories.

Multiple TCP implementations could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth and CPU exhaustion) by setting the maximum segment size (MSS) to a very small number and requesting large amounts of data, which generates more packets with less TCP-level data that amplify network traffic and consume more server CPU to process.
