199: is being upgraded from OpenSSH 3.0 to OpenSSH 3.0.2 to fix a few problems:
200: <p>
201: <ul>
202: <li>A security hole that may allow an attacker to partially authenticate
203: if -- and only if -- the administrator has enabled KerberosV.
204: <br>
205: By default, OpenSSH KerberosV support only becomes active after KerberosV
206: has been properly configured.
207: <p>
208: <li>An excessive memory clearing bug (which we believe to be unexploitable)
209: also exists, but since this may cause daemon crashes, we are providing a
210: patch as well.
211: <p>
212: <li>A vulnerability in environment passing in the <code>UseLogin</code>
213: <i>sshd</i> option
214: <p>
215: <li>Various other non-critical fixes.
