   An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has four
   fixes is now available.

Description:

   openssh was updated to fix four security issues.

   These security issues were fixed:
   - CVE-2015-5352: The x11_open_helper function in channels.c in ssh in
     OpenSSH when ForwardX11Trusted mode is not used, lacked a check of the
     refusal deadline for X connections, which made it easier for remote
     attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a connection
     outside of the permitted time window (bsc#936695).
   - CVE-2015-5600: The kbdint_next_device function in auth2-chall.c in sshd
     in OpenSSH did not properly restrict the processing of
     keyboard-interactive devices within a single connection, which made it
     easier for remote attackers to conduct brute-force attacks or cause a
     denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long and duplicative list in
     the ssh -oKbdInteractiveDevices option, as demonstrated by a modified
     client that provides a different password for each pam element on this
     list (bsc#938746).
   - CVE-2015-4000: Removed and disabled weak DH groups (bsc#932483).
   - Hardening patch to fix sftp RCE (bsc#903649).

   These non-security issues were fixed:
   - bsc#914309: sshd inherits oom_adj -17 on SIGHUP causing DoS potential
     for oom_killer.
   - bsc#673532: limits.conf fsize change in SLES10SP3 causing problems to
     WebSphere mqm user.
