Hi,

After upgrading openssh on debian 7/wheezy from 6.0p1-4+deb7u7 to 
6.0p1-4+deb7u8,
we see

 Sep 17 10:47:13 host sshd[124622]: Failed publickey for root from 1.2.3.4 port 
39792 ssh2
 Sep 17 10:47:13 host sshd[124622]: fatal: xfree: NULL pointer given as 
argument [preauth]

.  Login fails:

 joostvb@home:~% ssh root@host
 Authentication failed.

.  Downgrading back to 6.0p1-4+deb7u7 restores login functionality.

Behaviour observed on 2 of our machines.  Possibly more debug information
available; please ask.

Bye,

Joost
