Geeks in Paradise Blog: New OpenBSD Remote Security Vulnerability Found
By High Mobley
Excerpt:
“Wow! I was astonished to find the news this morning when I woke up. Core Security Technologies found that a malformed IPv6 packet MBUF header could be used for vulnerbility remote code execution on OpenBSD. What's remarkable about this is that such a vulnerability was found at all. Until this vulnerability came along, OpenBSD had gone over a decade with only ONE remote security hole in its default install. Stop and think about that. A decade is a darned long time in this industry. How many operating systems can claim this level of security? Certainly not Windows or Linux.”
