Summary
The remote host is missing an update to openssh (1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.6) announced via advisory DSA 1212-1. Two denial of service vulnerabilities have been found in the OpenSSH server. CVE-2006-4924 The sshd support for ssh protcol version 1 does not properly handle duplicate incoming blocks. This could allow a remote attacker to cause sshd to consume significant CPU resources leading to a denial of service. CVE-2006-5051 A signal handler race condition could potentially allow a remote attacker to crash sshd and could theoretically lead to the ability to execute arbitrary code.
