A vulnerablility with Kerberos and AFS was found in OpenSSH, which afaik is enabled by default in Gentoo:

The version in portage is 3.1_pr1-r2, which appears to be locally vulnerable. Does this apply to us? If so, we could probably use a new ebuild ASAP.

How does one determine if this affects them? I have no use for openssh, so I'd just prefer to not have it running.

EDIT: Found this http://www.gentoo.org/news/20020307-nvidia.html
Seems like I've noticed that before, so it may have been fixed for a while now.

That's a relief, then. They must have simply installed the patch.
