[HLUG] SSH vulnerability in Debian and Ubuntu

[Mark Broadbent]

Hi,

For those of you who use Debian or Ubuntu (or any Debian based
distribution) and use ssh.  You will want to upgrade your machines to
the latest security updates as a critical flaw has been found in
OpenSSh on these platforms.  You will need to also generate new SSH
keys as well (Debian has a tool to determine if your keys are
compropmised).

More information at the following:

* Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-2
* Debian - http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571

Thanks
Mark
