    hi frank
    
    its the crc32 compensation attack, but the compensation in the fix was
    vulnerable to a very subtle bug. detailed by the illustrious zalewski (at
    bindview):
    
    http://razor.bindview.com/publish/advisories/adv_ssh1crc.html
    
    from the advisory:
    
    	** Vulnerable:
    
                    SSH 1.2.24 - 1.2.31 (ssh.com) -- all versions to date of
    		release of this advisory
    
                    F-SECURE SSH 1.3.x -- all recent releases
    
                    OpenSSH prior to 2.3.0 (unless SSH protocol 1 support is
    		disabled)
    
                    OSSH 1.5.7 (by Bjoern Groenvall) and other ssh1/OpenSSH
    		derived daemons
    
             ** Not vulnerable:
    
                    SSH2 (ssh.com): all 2.x releases NOTE: SSH2 installations
    		with SSH1 fallback support are vulnerable
    
                    OpenSSH 2.3.0 (problem fixed)
    
                    SSH 1.2.32 (ssh.com, released 10/22/2001)
    
                    SSH1 releases prior to 1.2.24 (vulnerable to crc attacks)
    
                    Cisco SSH (own implementation)
    
                    LSH (SSH protocol 1 not supported)
    
             ** Other SSH daemons: not tested
    
    
    i hope this helps.
