015: RELIABILITY FIX: April 4, 2005 All architectures
Handle an edge condition in tcp(4) timestamps.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
(ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/pa.../015_tcp.patch)

Apply by doing:
cd /usr/src
patch -p0 < 015_tcp.patch
And then rebuild your kernel.

------------------------------

That's all I would like to see, I don't think you have to write any more
then that. It took me a whole 15 seconds to get that information.

I'll do this and send out the annoucements if that's what people want.
It'll be a reason, Theo, to keep the list alive and it will satisfy me
by being a "low volume list receives OpenBSD security advisories and
pointers to security patches as they become available."
