CVE-2002-1360

CRITICAL CVSS: 10.0 Published: 2002-12-23 Modified: 2026-06-16

Description

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.
