The SSL/TLS protocol is subject to man-in-the-middle attacks related to renegotiation (described in draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation-00) allowing a MITM to inject chosen plaintext to the beginning of the application data. Practical attacks exist against HTTPS and possibly other protocols. In -current, OpenSSL's ability to accept renegotiations has been disabled by default. Patches are available for OpenBSD 4.6 and 4.5: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/4.5/common/010_openssl.patch ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/4.6/common/004_openssl.patch These are also available in the 4.5 and 4.6 -stable branches.
