Description Steve Moulton 2003-10-09 02:04:44 AEST 
Please pardon me if submitting a bug report is not the correct
procedure to address this.

Is OpenSSH affected by the vulnerability in OpenSSL discussed in
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-26.html ?  I don't find a reference
to it on the OpenSSH web site.

CERT's only discussion wrt OpenSSH is 
  .  http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/AAMN-5RXR29
  .  an assertion by IBM that it does not affect OpenSSH as they distribute it.

Not significantly. For recent versions of OpenSSH, the OpenSSL ASN.1 code is
used only for loading private keys. It is not used to verify signatures coming
from the network.

For future reference: A bug tracking system is intended for reporting bugs,
please use the mailing list for questions like this.
