OpenSSH 3.4 released
OpenSSH 3.4 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.

OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.

We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued
support and encouragement.


Changes since OpenSSH 3.3:
============================

Security Changes:
=================

All versions of OpenSSH's sshd between 2.9.9 and 3.3
contain an input validation error that can result in
an integer overflow and privilege escalation.

OpenSSH 3.4 fixes this bug.

In addition, OpenSSH 3.4 adds many checks to detect
invalid input and mitigate resource exhaustion attacks.

OpenSSH 3.2 and later prevent privilege escalation
if UsePrivilegeSeparation is enabled in sshd_config.
OpenSSH 3.3 enables UsePrivilegeSeparation by
default.
