Debian Security Advisory DSA-027-1 fixes issues with OpenSSH to prevent critical remote exploits and memory overwrites.
This package fixes two security problems with OpenSSH.

Summary

This upload fixes:

1. Prior versions of OpenSSH are vulnerable to a remote arbitrary
memory overwrite attack which may eventually lead into a root
exploit. No exploit program is known yet but expected to come up
soon.

2. CORE-SDI has described a problem with regards to RSA key exchange
and a Bleichenbacher attack to gather the session key from an ssh
session.

We recommend you upgrade your openssh package immediately.

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
