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).

OpenBSD already is the second most popular BSD after FreeBSD (I don't count MacOSX as a BSD) and that's a lot considering that you have to buy the OpenBSD CDs vs. just download FreeBSD.
I don't run OpenBSD but a am aware of it, I just don't need that type of security on my home machine. GNU/Linux trumps in convenience. But let me tell you I have a lot of respect for OpenBSD and should I ever need that type of security I know where to find it.
