Debian Security Advisory DSA-027--1                                     security@debian.org

Package        : openssh
Vulnerability  : remote memory overwrite, key exchange problem
Type           : remote exploit
Debian-specific: no

This upload fixes:

1. Prior versions of OpenSSH are vulnerable to a remote
arbitrary memory overwrite attack which may eventually lead into a
root exploit. No exploit program is known yet but expected to come
up soon.

2. CORE-SDI has described a problem with regards to RSA key
exchange and a Bleichenbacher attack to gather the session key from
an ssh session.

We recommend you upgrade your openssh package immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato


Potato was released for the alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
sparc architectures.
