Bug Description
The latest openssh client in Intrepid (1:5.1p1-1ubuntu2) fails to connect to certain hosts such as HP ProCurve switches and dd-wrt routers. Attempting to connect to one of these systems (and possible other system types) results in the following error:
$ ssh <email address hidden>
xmalloc: zero size
$
This is a known bug that has been fixed upstream:

The fix is in 5.1p1-3 (see the above bug report.)
Would it be possible to get this update in for Intrepid? Currently the only workaround is to downgrade to 4.7p1-8ubuntu1

Indeed, done:
openssh (1:5.1p1-3ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Add support for registering ConsoleKit sessions on login.
- Drop openssh-blacklist and openssh-
take up a lot of CD space, and I suspect that rolling them out in
security updates has covered most affected systems now.
- Add ufw integration.

openssh (1:5.1p1-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove unnecessary ssh-vulnkey output in non-verbose mode when no
compromised or unknown keys were found (closes: #496495).
* Configure with --disable-strip; dh_strip will deal with stripping
binaries and will honour DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS (thanks, Bernhard R. Link;
closes: #498681).
* Fix handling of zero-length server banners (thanks, Tomas Mraz; closes:
#497026).
