OpenBSD Gets Its Second Remote Exploit in 10 Years As recently reported on OpenBSD's errata page [0], 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 [1]. Theo advises to to update the system [2] (or to block IPv6 using PF as a workaround).
