OpenBSD Errata: February 24th, 2020 (smtpd_envelope)

Errata patches for OpenSMTPD have been released for OpenBSD 6.5 and 6.6.

An out of bounds read in smtpd allows an attacker to inject arbitrary
commands into the envelope file which are then executed as root.

Separately, missing privilege revocation in smtpctl allows arbitrary
commands to be run with the _smtpq group.

Binary updates for the amd64, i386, and arm64 platforms are available via
the syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the respective
errata page:

  https://www.openbsd.org/errata65.html
  https://www.openbsd.org/errata66.html

After patching, restart the smtpd service.
