I believe this is the same ssh exploit documented recently in bugtraq. If
I understand correctly, this was also fixed last February. See:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/security/advisories/NetBSD-SA2001-003.txt.asc
http://staff.washington.edu/dittrich/misc/ssh-analysis.txt
So recent NetBSD's don't have this problem.
I noticed that the ftp server didn't have an updated binary package for
ssh for 1.4.2 i386. Does anyone have it?
