I am sure someone has some boxes out there still....

A simple work around *seems* to be to disable PAM on sshd. i.e in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config

set the following from yes to no

# Change to no to disable PAM authentication
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

I wonder if other apps that make use of PAM can trigger the bug as well ?
