LSH is the GNU implementation of SSH and can be seen as an alternative to OpenSSH. Recently various remotely exploitable buffer overflows have been reported in LSH. These allow attackers to execute arbitrary code as root on un-patched systems. LSH is not installed by default on SuSE Linux. An update is therefore only recommended if you run LSH. Maintained SuSE products are not affected by this bug as LSH is not packaged on maintained products such as the Enterprise Server.
