SSH and the TERM Variable

[Melvin Dippo <md @ ProNetC . com>]

FWers,

Speaking of SSH.  Does anyone know if the recent advisory WRT rlogin
also apply to SSH?  As I undestand it, SSH is more or less an
"encrypted" rlogin, isn't it?  Is SSH subject to the same $TERM
variable buffer overflow as rlogin?  I assume this is something that
happens after successful login so is probably not as much of a worry
with SSH?  Might there be any other potential issues?
