Has version 2 been ported yet?
Hi Dean,
This is probably a reason to upgrade to ver 2?
Rootshell.com was recently hacked and exploit in SSH
ver 1.2.26 was aparrently used.
No exploit is known in ver 2 code.
SSH Admits Buffer Overflow in 1.2.26 client
11/5/98 8:44AM PDT This morning SSH Communications Security LTD.
released information about a buffer overflow in its ssh 1.2.26 client
kerberos code. This came as quite a surprise after SSH was very
bullish about there being no buffer overflows in their code. While it
is VERY hard to exploit and only works under certain conditions, it is
still a valid security hole.
