As recently reported on OpenBSD's errata page, a problem in the mbuf handling of IPv6 has been elevated to a security issue. This means that OpenBSD now has two remote exploits in 10 years, as already reflected on the OpenBSD Homepage. Theo advises to to update the system (or to block IPv6 using PF as a workaround).

It's a shame Microsoft is not after BSD on its "Get the facts" campaign.... I'd LOVE to see ___ (any Microsoft puppy goes in the blank... Paul Thurrot comes to mind first hand, of course) trumpeting that "OpenBSD has doubled its exploits over the last year, it has being acknowledged... and Windows OSs only increased 10%", or Billy say that "you can take over a openBSD computer anytime anywhere by just looking at it from as far as 300 feet away..... Does anybody care about the truth these days?" or whatever comes up their mind. :-D
