critical Nessus Plugin ID 15219

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

DSA-382-2: This advisory is an addition to the earlier DSA-382-1 advisory: two more buffer handling problems have been found in addition to the one described in DSA-382-1. It is not known if these bugs are exploitable, but as a precaution an upgrade is advised.

DSA-382-3: This advisory is an addition to the earlier DSA-382-1 and DSA-382-2 advisories: Solar Designer found four more bugs in OpenSSH that may be exploitable.
