> ============================ 
> 
> 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.
