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,

IgoR
