It has been discovered that the signal handler implementing the login
timeout in Debian's version of the OpenSSH server uses functions which
are not async-signal-safe, leading to a denial of service
vulnerability (CVE-2008-4109).
The problem was originally corrected in OpenSSH 4.4p1 (CVE-2006-5051),
but the patch backported to the version released with etch was
incorrect.
