1.365 jason 147: is being upgraded from OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2 to fix a few problems:
1.357 deraadt 148: <p>
149: <ul>
150: <li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
151: if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
152: <br>
153: By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
154: has been properly configured.
155: <p>
156: <li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
157: also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
158: patch as well.
159: <p>
1.365 jason 160: <li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
161: <i>sshd</i> option
162: <p>
1.357 deraadt 163: <li>Various other non-critical fixes.

171: <li><font color=#009000><strong>001: INSTALL ISSUE: November 12, 2001</strong></font><br>
172: A small bug in the installation script causes the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file to

174: The resulting file contains a line which reads like:<p>
175: <tt>
176: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname
177: </tt>
178: <p>
179: This line should actually read something like:<p>

181: #.#.#.# hostname.domainname.com hostname
182: </tt>
183: <p>
184: To correct this problem, simply edit the file and insert the domainname in
