prego.
grazie.
gli update vari per redhat e debian ci sono, ed erano gli unici presenti su
bugtraq al momento.
a me sembra che il fix sia più un workaround, voi che dite?

Subject: OpenSSH Buffer Management Bug Advisory
X-Virus-Scanned: by AMaViS 0.3.12
The following advisory is listed on the OpenSSH security page. It was up
some time ago before disappearing for a while and then reappearing in the
last few minutes.
---
Subject: OpenSSH Security Advisory: buffer.adv
This is the 1st revision of the Advisory.
This document can be found at: http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv
1. Versions affected:
All versions of OpenSSH's sshd prior to 3.7 contain a buffer
management error. It is uncertain whether this error is
potentially exploitable, however, we prefer to see bugs
fixed proactively.
2. Solution:
Upgrade to OpenSSH 3.7 or apply the following patch.
