    Subject: OpenSSH 3.2.3 released
    
    OpenSSH 3.2.3 has just been released. It will be available from the
    mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.
    
    OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
    implementation and includes sftp client and server support.
    
    We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued
    support and encouragement.
    
    
    Changes since OpenSSH 3.2.2:
    ============================
    
      This release fixes several problems in OpenSSH 3.2.2:
    
        - a defect in the BSD_AUTH access control handling for
          OpenBSD and BSD/OS systems:
    
          Under certain conditions, on systems using YP with netgroups
          in the password database, it is possible that sshd does ACL
          checks for the requested user name but uses the password
          database entry of a different user for authentication. This
          means that denied users might authenticate successfully while
          permitted users could be locked out (OpenBSD PR 2659).
    
        - login/tty problems on Solaris (bug #245)
    
        - build problems on Cygwin systems
    
    
    Changes between OpenSSH 3.1 and OpenSSH 3.2.2:
    ==============================================
    
      Security Changes:
      =================
    
      - fixed buffer overflow in Kerberos/AFS token passing
      - fixed overflow in Kerberos client code
      - sshd no longer auto-enables Kerberos/AFS
      - experimental support for privilege separation,
        see UsePrivilegeSeparation in sshd(8) and
      	  http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html
        for more information.
      - only accept RSA keys of size SSH_RSA_MINIMUM_MODULUS_SIZE (768) or larger
    
      Other Changes:
      ==============
    
      - improved smartcard support (including support for OpenSC,
        see www.opensc.org)
      - improved Kerberos support (including support for MIT-Kerberos V)
      - fixed stderr handling in protocol v2
