Hello, computer gurus! I am not sure if this might be a reason to worry about, but probably somebody might clear this up. I am running 2.1.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 23 01:01:32 EST 1997 on P5 computer. I have 1.2.17 sshd running. Today I found the following strings in my log: May 28 10:42:28 kurort /kernel: ep0: Status: 2002 (input buffer overflow) May 28 10:42:28 kurort sshd[3334]: fatal: Local: Bad packet length 761285176. I know, that this was not an attempt of a break in, but I am just thinking if this can be a source for the DOS-attack, or something like that. Sorry, if this is known already and was fixed in the recent version of sshd. Best regards, IgoRhelp
