Hi Roman and Others, Thanks for the feedback. SSH Secure Shell 3.0.0 does not ship with any of the operating systems mentioned, nor does the announcement specify that it does. However, if a user has explicitly installed SSH Secure Shell 3.0.0 on any of the listed operating systems, they are vulnerable to this potential exploit. Please understand that we receive many support requests from administrators using either the commercial or non-commercial versions of SSH Secure Shell on SuSe, Redhat, Caldera, and other Linux versions - even though SSH Secure Shell is not bundled these operating systems. Because of this, we wish to ensure that those users are aware that this issue does affect them, and what they can do to protect themselves. We have listed those operating systems which we know are vulnerable _with SSH Secure Shell 3.0.0 installed_. My apologies if this was not clear in the original announcement.

The ssh versions 3.* are not shipped with SuSE Linux, all versions of the distribution. Thanks to Frank Denis for pointing this out on bugtraq. Since most of the mentioned systems are older than ssh-3.*, it seems logical that these systems can't be affected by default. It should have been mentioned that the platforms mentioned above are vulnerable if the said version of ssh has been installed on them. I wish for more precision in future security announcements from ssh.com.
