Effective immediately we started to upgrade & patch openSSH on our servers in order to protect from the recently found openSSH bug that allows to obtain root priviledges on teh unpatched box.
The exploit is not released to the public but some hacker groups are working on it as well as work. We just have to be prepared.
During upgrade times you may see ssh unavaliability. Also servers may be rebooted.
