Subject: OpenSSH root hole

Yup, a new hole has been found in OpenSSH...

Impact: HIGH: Existing users will gain root privileges.

The advisory at http://www.pine.nl/advisories/pine-cert-20020301.txt
says the FreeBSD OpenSSH port has been updated. Does anyone know when
OpenSSH in base will be updated?

The hole scares me a bit, although the patch is extremely small :)
