Insight
Insight
Qualys have reported two issues in the roaming code included in the OpenSSH client, which provides undocumented, experimental support for resuming SSH connections. An OpenSSH client could be tricked into leaking parts of its memory to a malicious server. Furthermore, a buffer overflow can be exploited by a malicious server, but its exploitation requires non-default options and is mitigated due to another bug.
Solution
Solution
Update the affected packages to the latest available version.
