Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2003:280 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Critical: openssh security update 2003-09-16 04:00:00 UTC

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.
