Hi Sun Security Coordination Team,

It is checked that the sshd come with Solaris 10 is linked with /usr/lib/libgss.so.1. So, does that mean all Solaris 10 system's are affected?

Thanks & Regards
Paul

Sun Alert 102772:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102772-1

states the following in the 'Contributing Factors' section:

"3. No applications shipped by Sun, including kadmind(1M), are affected by
this issue."

So the version of sshd(1M) supplied with Solaris 10 is not impacted by this
issue.
