It loads for me sometimes only.  It is supposed to be at
<URL:http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv>, 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.
