According to its banner, the version of OpenSSL running on the remote host is less than 0.9.5a. On a FreeBSD system running on the Alpha architecture, versions earlier than that may not use the /dev/random and /dev/urandom devices to provide a strong source of cryptographic entropy, which could lead to the generation of keys with weak cryptographic strength.
