[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#334502: After upgrading libssl0.9.8 to 0.9.8a-1 sshd segfaults

[Bastian Pfau]

Package: libssl0.9.8
Version: 0.9.8-3
Severity: normal


Hello,

after upgrading libssl0.9.8 from 0.9.8-3 to 0.9.8a-1 within a normal weekly "apt-get upgrade" procedure, sshd has failed with segfault:

# /etc/init.d/ssh start
# cat /var/log/messages
sshd[5399]: segfault at 0000000232795e4c rip 00002aaaaaf55817 rsp 00007fffff9e95a8 error 4

Additionally kde refused to start. I was not able to find any error log.

I downgraded libssl0.9.8 to the old version 0.9.8-3 and now everything works again.

Thanks.

Bastian
