Name        : openssh
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 5.8p2
Release     : 21.fc16
URL         : http://www.openssh.com/portable.html
Summary     : An open source implementation of SSH protocol versions 1 and 2
Description :
SSH (Secure SHell) is a program for logging into and executing
commands on a remote machine. SSH is intended to replace rlogin and
rsh, and to provide secure encrypted communications between two
untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and
arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.

OpenSSH is OpenBSD's version of the last free version of SSH, bringing
it up to date in terms of security and features.

This package includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH
client and server. To make this package useful, you should also
install openssh-clients, openssh-server, or both.

Update Information:

Fixes a serious problem in sshd-keygen script where the keys are created with wrong permissions and the sshd fails to load them on startup then.

The workaround on already broken machines is to do:
chmod g-r /etc/ssh/*host_*_key
