COMPLETE Summary

Per: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-security-announce&m=125474331811594 XMM exceptions are incorrectly handled in the OpenBSD/i386 kernel, resulting in a kernel panic that can be triggered by a local user. This issue has been fixed in -current. Source code patches are available for OpenBSD 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6.
