Security update of openssh for wheezy

Hi OpenSSH Maintainers and LTS team

I have prepared a security update of openssh for wheezy.

For more information about the issue solved see here:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-6210

I have applied the same patch as in sid and it applied fine, except that I had to change a call to a clear memory function to a loop instead. This function is not available in wheezy.

You can find the debdiff here:

http://apt.inguza.net/wheezy-security/openssh/CVE-2016-6210.debdiff

You can also find the packages that I intend to upload here:

http://apt.inguza.net/wheezy-security/openssh/

I have regression tested and I could login still, and use the client too.

I could not reproduce the problem good enough to tell for sure that they are solved. However they should be solved just as good as in sid and jessie.

If no-one objects I will upload this package in four days, that is on Saturday.

Best regards

// Ola
