-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] OpenSSH Security Advisory (SSA:2003-259-01) Upgraded OpenSSH packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0 and - -current. These fix a buffer management error found in versions of OpenSSH earlier than 3.7. The possibility exists that this error could allow a remote exploit, so we recommend all sites running OpenSSH upgrade to the new OpenSSH package immediately. Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 16 11:13:05 PDT 2003 patches/packages/openssh-3.7p1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.7p1. From the OpenSSH Security Advisory (http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv): "All versions of OpenSSH's sshd prior to 3.7 contain a buffer management error.
