Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.10269
Category:Gain a shell remotely
Title:SSH Overflow
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

You are running a version of SSH which is older than (or as old as)
version 1.2.27.
If this version was compiled against the RSAREF library, then it is very
likely to be vulnerable to a buffer overflow which may be exploited by an
attacker to gain root privileges on your system.

To determine if you compiled ssh against the RSAREF library, type
'ssh -V' on the remote host.

Risk factor : High
Solution : Use ssh 2.x, or do not compile ssh against the RSAREF library
