Cisco Security Advisory: Multiple SSH Vulnerabilities - Revision 1.5

Overview Four different Cisco product lines are susceptible to multiple vulnerabilities discovered in the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol version 1.5. These issues have been addressed, and fixes have been integrated into the Cisco products that support this protocol. By exploiting the weakness in the SSH protocol, it is possible to insert arbitrary commands into an established SSH session, collect information that may help in brute force key recovery, or brute force a session key.
