Multiple SSH2 servers and clients do not properly handle strings with null characters in them...
CVE-2002-1360 is a high vulnerability (CVSS 10.0) in Cisco Ios, published December 17, 2002. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 6.14%, the 93rd percentile. No source names a fixed version.
Multiple SSH2 servers and clients do not properly handle strings with null characters in them when the string length is specified by a length field, which could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code due to interactions with the use of null-terminated strings as implemented using languages such as C, as demonstrated by the SSHredder SSH protocol test suite.
