Package        : openssh
Problem type   : remote exploit
Debian-specific: no

The adv.fwd security advisory from OpenBSD reported a problem with
openssh that Jacob Langseth jwl@pobox.com found: when the connection
is established the remote ssh server can force the ssh client to
enable agent and X11 forwarding.

This has been fixed in version 1.2.3-9.1 and we recommend that
you upgrade your openssh packages immediately.

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

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato


Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
sparc. Packages for sparc are not available at this moment; they
will be announced later at http://security.debian.org/
