ver>=2.3.0 of openssh patched the vulnerability

http://razor.bindview.com/publish/advisories/adv_ssh1crc.html

Also; here's a recent sanitized targets file for the x2 executable:

-----begin targets-----
SSH-1.5-1.2.27,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXX,0xXXXX,0
Small - SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.2.0p1,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXX,0xXXXX,0
Big - SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.2.0p1,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXXXXXXXX,0xXX,0xXXXX,1
-----end targets-----

i tested out a binary exploit that "supposedly" worked on OpenSSH 2.3 to
3.0 (but not 3.0.1p1), and had it fail each time. it aparently does attack
the CRC bug in unpatched/vulnerable versions of ssh.

the exploit is (supposedly) encrypted, stripped, and for x86 linux. the
binary has an md5 checksum of 1309689a9af6b82e11e8dfa5c6282c30. it's
ruffly 1.4 megs in size. i've only seen it as "x2".


I know that the x2 binary uses a targetfile with some offsets for
different sshd. The one I've seen omly contains offsets for SSH-1.2.27
and OpenSSH-2.2.0p1. If this exploit really works against OpenSSH-2.9.9
you'll need a targetfile with the offsets for OpenSSH-2.9.9.
