157: <ul>
158: <li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
159: if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
160: <br>
161: By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
162: has been properly configured.
163: <p>
164: <li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
165: also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
166: patch as well.
167: <p>
1.365 jason 168: <li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
169: <i>sshd</i> option

180: A small bug in the installation script causes the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file to

183: <tt>
184: #.#.#.# hostname. hostname
