According to its banner, the remote host appears to be running OpenSSH version 3.0.1 or older. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple flaws :
Provided KerberosV is enabled (disabled by default), it may be possible for an attacker to partially authenticate.
It may be possible to crash the daemon due to a excessive memory clearing bug.

# Added BugtraqID
# Should also cover BugtraqID: 4560, BugtraqID: 4241/(CVE-2002-0083)
#
# If the plugin is successful, it will issue a security_hole(). Should
# it attempt to determine if the remote host is a kerberos client and
# issue a security_warning() if it's not ?
