While it's entirely  possible that I'm just getting confused on
version number between OpenSSL and OpenSSH, these are the CVE #'s that
I was looking to update:

CAN-2004-0079 - Null-pointer assignment during SSL handshake 
CAN-2004-0112 - Out-of-bounds read affects Kerberos ciphersuites
CAN-2004-00811- OpenSSL 0.9.6 before 0.9.6d infinite loop vulnerability

The resolution we chose at work was to upgrade to 0.9.7d.  I was
looking to do the same for my FC2 box at home.
