The patch is to use the "ssh" package in unstable... and I think in the security-updates.
We were using ssh-nonfree and that is vunerable. I think they released a patch and the debs have since been updated, but I'd be wary of staying with ssh-nonfree now that a hole is right there. Damn... now the messy clean up process left after numerous rootkits have been installed. We're just trying to cp -a all the files from our backups into their right places. That should solve things. If anyone has better ideas, please let me know.
