Description Mark J. Cox 2003-09-16 12:09:46 UTC

A bug has been found in the buffer code in OpenSSH.  It is not yet clear if this
could be exploited by an attacker but several possible attack vectors are under
evaluation.  A patch from the OpenBSD team is available.

RHSA-2003:280 in progress.

Reopening bug due to additional issues found in OpenSSH.
