Over the last few weeks I've written a new web page about the security
auditing `stance' OpenBSD has. This page also serves as a dropping
ground for any security advisories and patches which we make
available. There's 6 security related patches for OpenBSD 2.2
available now. Yes, 2.2 does have some security problems, we are
still finding holes... but 2.3 is coming soon!
I think OpenBSD users can now consider this web page to be the one
regular stop neccessary to see if any new OpenBSD security patches
exist. This is a very easy way for me to distribute patches for
security problems, especially since I don't need to write more than 5
lines of description. Expect security patches to be released VERY
quickly through this web page.
The new page is at
http://www.openbsd.org/security.html
Secondly, a new page which talks about how OpenBSD uses cryptography
to assist in security sensitive areas might be interesting to some of
you as well.
