Is this for real?<br>

Is a patch really needed?<br>

are there really Vulnerabilities with OpenSSH?<br>

<br>

<blockquote type="cite">

  <p>The OpenBSD project yesterday issued a <a target="new"

 href="http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv">security alert</a> for

OpenSSH and a new version, 3.7.1, and encouraged companies using

affected versions of the suite to upgrade to the latest version or

apply a software patch. </p>

<blockquote type="cite">Many of the leading Unix and Linux operating

systems ship with OpenSSH and are vulnerable to attack. In addition, an

unknown number of hardware devices, including network routers and

switches, use the popular package and will need to be patched,

according to Dan Ingevaldson, engineering manager of the X-Force

security group at Internet Security Systems Inc. (ISS). </blockquote>
