I must say that I gasped and had to wipe sweat from my forehead when I read, tested and could confirm this exploit. The OpenBSD-team has known about this for -6- days (15th of June), and they haven't been able to come up with atleast a temporary fix? I can't find anything on errdata / security warnings, what's up with that?
