  (A) "Secure Shell (SSH) servers are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS)"
or
  (B) "The SSH server in Cisco IOS is disabled by default."

Jeff: Could be worse... Could be Cisco.
At least Microsoft tries to release patches without proding from
Blackhat's own Lynndie England, played by Michael Lynn...
