184: is being upgraded from OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2 to fix a few problems:
185: <p>
186: <ul>
187: <li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
188: if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
189: <br>
190: By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
191: has been properly configured.
192: <p>
193: <li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
194: also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
195: patch as well.
196: <p>
197: <li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
198: <i>sshd</i> option
199: <p>
200: <li>Various other non-critical fixes.
