of the affected system. The second issue may allow a knowledgeable attacker who can monitor VPN traffic to decrypt that traffic. It is independent of the first issue.

The third issue may result in a system crash during a crafted SSH negotiation when ssh-pka is configured and enabled on the firewall. In the worst case scenario, the unhandled SSH exception resulting
in a system crash could lead to remote code execution. This issue can affect any product or platform running ScreenOS 6.3.0r20.
