Debian: 1.2.3-9.1 Critical: Openssh Remote Exploit Threat

Package : openssh
Problem type : remote exploit
Debian-specific: no

The adv.fwd security advisory from OpenBSD reported a problem
with openssh that Jacob Langseth <jwl@pobox.com> found: when
the connection is established the remote ssh server can force
the ssh client to enable agent and X11 forwarding.

This has been fixed in version 1.2.3-9.1 and we recommend
that you upgrade your openssh packages immediately.

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
