After the vulnerability of SSH and increase of scan
to locate systems using SSH, I would like to know if Nokia systems using SSH are
vulnerable to this attack. I am aware that IPSO version 3.4.x implements SSH2
which is not vulnerable. But previous versions implement ssh version 1 which is
vulnerable.

Attack
Using SSH Hole -- Last
week, rumors spread in the hacker underground that scripts were available
to gain "root" or system-level access to vulnerable systems. And in recent
days, system operators have posted reports on security mailing lists
saying they are receiving remote scans from attackers attempting to locate
vulnerable systems running SSH. A new hacking tool is being actively used
by attackers hoping to take remote control of unpatched Unix-based
systems. |
Any light on this issue would be greatly
appreciated
