  <description>
    <p>
    Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered a Denial of
    Service vulnerability in the SSH protocol version 1 CRC compensation
    attack detector.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote unauthenticated attacker may be able to trigger excessive CPU
    usage by sending a pathological SSH message, denying service to other
    legitimate users or processes.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    The system administrator may disable SSH protocol version 1 in
    /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All OpenSSH users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/openssh-4.3_p2-r5"</code>
  </resolution>
