Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.80087
Category:Useless services
Title:SSF Service
Summary:The SSF service is running on the target host.
Description:Summary:
The SSF service is running on the target host.

Vulnerability Insight:
According to its banner, the remote SSH server is the
SSF derivative.

SSF had been written to be compliant with restrictive
laws on cryptography in some European countries, France
especially.

These regulations have been softened and OpenSSH received
a formal authorisation from the French administration in
2002 and the development of SSF has been discontinued.

SSF is based upon an old version of OpenSSH and it implements
an old version of the protocol. As it is not maintained anymore,
it might be vulnerable to dangerous flaws.

Solution:
Remove SSF and install an up to date version of OpenSSH.

CVSS Score:
10.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
