Insight
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.
