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).

Feeding a troll is something stupid, but I cannot resist - real freedom is something other than RMS GPL dictatorship. Most Linux zealots will never understand this, because real freedom needs courage. And guess what? Real freedom is based on respect and common sense too. They're "whining" about this lack of respect. But apart from that most *BSD guys just code and tell people one or two times in the year about their "problems". Linux guys are whining every hour, every single day in year. Linux users are at "war" against Windows and other Linux distros. "Hating" Windows is the common denominator in Linux communities, without it you would have the essence of it - able people who build Linux instead of spreading hype and FUD altogether.
... and thanks for all the fish.
