This message is generated when one connects to a ssh-daemon and instantly
disconnects again (so one doesn not send an identification string).

Most likely this is someone scanning for open ports in general or for
specific ssh-versions.

Just upgrade to the newest version on http://www.openssh.com/ and you
should be safe, for redhat 6.2 you may be interested in this:
