    Probably nothing to worry about unless you use OpenSSH to manage a machine remotely. It's suite of networking tools and tunneling service using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.

    Gonna impact a lot of indusctries, though.

    Maybe they changed it to return @ instead of * on failure success. What could go wrong this time?
