ssh plaintext recovery SA



The instructions for working around NetBSD-SA2009-005 by upgrading SSH
suggest that it suffices to run `make dependall' and `make install' in
usr.bin/ssh after updating crypto/dist/ssh.  When the advisory was
released last month, I replied asking how this would work: the updated
files were cipher.c, cipher.h, and packet.c in crypto/dist/ssh, which
contribute only to libssh, not to the ssh-related executables, so I
don't think that building new ssh executables by making in usr.bin/ssh
will cause any change; one must build a new libssh instead.

But don't think I received any answer to my message.  Was this
overlooked, or am I missing something?  (Or did an answer get buried
in my inbox or spam box?)
