Dist Slackware Esm H88
Recent updates for OpenSSH on Slackware address a critical vulnerability pertaining to the AcceptEnv directive processing.
New openssh packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/openssh-6.6p1-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue when using environment passing with a sshd_config(5) AcceptEnv pattern with a wildcard. OpenSSH could be tricked into accepting any environment variable that contains the characters before the wildcard character. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2014-2532 (* Security fix *)
