It is supposed to be at , but it isn't there yet. Here's the meat of it: ---- begin excerpt ---- 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. ---- end excerpt ---- Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine . NTT/Verio SME . FreeBSD UNIX .
