OpenBSD MPLS kernel stack leaks remotely (CVE-2026-56099)

A crafted MPLS packet can trigger an out-of-bounds read in mpls_do_error, leaking 4 bytes of adjacent kernel stack memory back in an ICMP/MPLS error response.

It requires MPLS enabled, but the leak is remote and repeatable. Fixed in OpenBSD-current on 2026-06-18.

27 Years in the Dark: OpenBSD Fixes Ancient Remote Kernel Auth Bypass

Absolutely wild find by Argus-Systems. A remote authentication bypass hiding in OpenBSD's kernel PPP stack since it was imported from FreeBSD in July 1999.
An attacker could essentially bypass authentication via a null-auth flaw and intercept/read PPPoE traffic without credentials. It survived every single release for nearly three decades until the patch.
OpenBSD already released a patch.
