  2. Slackware Advisory on New ssh Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 1, Informative

    [slackware-security] OpenSSH Security Advisory (SSA:2003-259-01)

    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.

    Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog:

    Tue Sep 16 11:13:05 PDT 2003
    patches/packages/openssh-3.7p1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.7p1.
    From the OpenSSH Security Advisory
    (http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv):
    "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."
    (* Security fix *)

    Of course I've been modded down. Why not respond to my post? How can this be considered a front page-worthy story when it only consists of the submitter's opinions?
