The remote host is missing an update as announced via advisory SSA:2003-260-01.

Insight

Insight

Upgraded OpenSSH 3.7.1p1 packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0 and -current. These fix additional buffer management errors that were not corrected in the recent 3.7p1 release. The possibility exists that these errors could allow a remote exploit, so we recommend all sites running OpenSSH upgrade to the new OpenSSH package immediately.

Solution

Solution

Upgrade to the new package(s).
