OpenBSD Security Announcements

Your best line of defense against all types of intruders is keeping your computer software up to date. This means you need to know when to update your system and what to update. The OpenBSD Project maintains a low-traffic mailing list, [email protected], specifically to broadcast new security alerts to users. Subscribe to this list.

If you don’t feel like subscribing to yet another mailing list, these security alerts are also posted on OpenBSD-specific sites such as http://www.undeadly.org.

Note that this won’t get you security alerts for third-party software running on OpenBSD. You must get updates for those programs separately. Check the software’s website for details on how to get their security announcements. All the time you’ve spent securing your operating system will be wasted if someone hijacks the insecure web application you neglected to update.
