According to its banner, the version of OpenSSH installed on the remote host has the following vulnerabilities :

  • X11 forwarding may be enabled unintentionally when multiple forwarding requests are made on the same session, or when an X11 listener is orphaned after a session goes away. (CVE-2005-2797)

  • GSSAPI credentials may be delegated to users who log in using something other than GSSAPI authentication if ‘GSSAPIDelegateCredentials’ is enabled. (CVE-2005-2798)

  • Attempting to log in as a nonexistent user causes the authentication process to hang, which could be exploited to enumerate valid user accounts.
    Only OpenSSH on Mac OS X 10.4.x is affected.
    (CVE-2006-0393)

  • Repeatedly attempting to log in as a nonexistent user could result in a denial of service.
    Only OpenSSH on Mac OS X 10.4.x is affected.
    (CVE-2006-0393)
