Now here is the kicker:

http://www.openpkg.org/security/OpenPKG-SA-2003.040-openssh.html

If you read through it, they mention this:

"The discovery of additional similar errors by Solar Designer show that version 3.7.1 
is affected, too. Those errors may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by 
causing an incorrect amount of memory to be cleared and corrupting the heap on fatal 
cleanups."

So, look like a long week of patches. :-(

Ah, thanks for the link, I hadn't caught up on my Bugtraq reading this
morning.  I guess we can expect a new Red Hat release soon ....
