Debian Security Advisory DSA-025-1 security@debian.org
Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze
January 28, 2001

Package : openssh
Vulnerability : Missing PAM support
Debian-specific: yes

A former security upload of OpenSSH lacked support for PAM which lead
into people not being able to log in into their server. This was only

We recommend you upgrade your ssh packages on sparc.

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
