    Summary: Updated openssh packages fix CVE-2014-2653

    Details: Updated openssh packages fix security vulnerability: Matthew Vernon reported that if a SSH server offers a HostCertificate that the ssh client doesn't accept, then the client doesn't check the DNS for SSHFP records. As a consequence a malicious server can disable SSHFP-checking by presenting a certificate (CVE-2014-2653).
