Secunia Research Advisory - A vulnerability has been identified in OpenBSD allowing a malicious root user to escalate privileges. The problem is that the root user may set the semaphore limit to a high value, which causes an integer overflow. This could be exploited to bypass the security level access control (securelevel) specified at boot time.
