-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] OpenSSH updated again (SSA:2003-260-01) Upgraded OpenSSH 3.7.1p1 packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0 and -current. These fix additional buffer management errors that were not corrected in the recent 3.7p1 release. The possibility exists that these errors 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: +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 17 01:25:22 PDT 2003 patches/packages/openssh-3.7.1p1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.7.1p1. The OpenSSH advisory was updated (http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv) and now says that you need at least version 3.7.1, which fixes some more buffer problems like those fixed by 3.7.
