Description Neil 2008-11-20 11:45:16 UTC 
A news report (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/18/ssh_sniffer_attack/) describes an advisory (see http://www.ssh.com/company/news/article/953/) that details vulnerability in the SSH protocol that leaves people open to attack.

Apparently hard to exploit, but reported to exist in OpenSSH too.

Reproducible: Always

Cool, apologies for the duplication, had searched but hadn't come across that one in the results.
