Since Debian 2.2 (potato) shipped with OpenSSH (the "ssh" package) version 1.2.3, it is not vulnerable to this exploit. No fix is required for Debian 2.2 (potato). The Debian unstable and testing archives do include a more recent OpenSSH (ssh) package. If you are running these pre-release distributions you should ensure that you are running version 3.0.2p1-8, a patched version which was added to the unstable archive today, or a later version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For apt-get: deb https://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main For dpkg-ftp: ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security dists/stable/updates/main Mailing list: This email address is being protected from spambots.
