"According to its banner, the remote SSH server is affected by one or
more of the following vulnerabilities :

  - CVE-2002-1357 (incorrect length)

  - CVE-2002-1358 (lists with empty elements/empty strings)

  - CVE-2002-1359 (large packets and large fields)

  - CVE-2002-1360 (string fields with zeros)

The impact of successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities varies
across products.  In some cases, remote attackers will be able to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the SSH process (usually
root), although for the products currently tested, the maximum impact is
believed to be just a denial of service.");
