Problem Description:

A buffer management error was discovered in all versions of

advisory: “It is uncertain whether this error is potentially
exploitable, however, we prefer to see bugs fixed proactively.”
There have also been reports of an exploit in the wild.

The OpenSSH developers discovered more, similar, problems and
revised the patch to correct these issues. These new packages have
the latest patch fix applied.
