  * SECURITY UPDATE: Remote DoS.
  * CVE-2006-4924: Fix a pre-authentication denial of service found by

    time expired.

  * Fix an unsafe signal hander reported by Mark Dowd. The
    signal handler was vulnerable to a race condition that could be
    exploited to perform a pre-authentication denial of service. [CVE-2006-5051]
    On portable OpenSSH, this vulnerability could theoretically lead to
    pre-authentication remote code execution if GSSAPI authentication is
    enabled, but the likelihood of successful exploitation appears remote.
    [CVE-2006-5052]
  * Above patches taken from Debian's 4.3p2-4 version, thanks to Colin Watson
    for backporting them from 4.4p1.
