Question about RuleID 128-1 for OpenSSH 7.x

[Smriti Agarwal via Snort-sigs <snort-sigs () lists snort org>]

Hello,

I have a question regarding signature 128-1: SSH_EVENT_RESPOVERFLOW is
getting triggered due to cve 2002-0639 and cve-2002-0640. According to this
CVE, SSH traffic is seen as a threat only if using OpenSSH versions 2.3.1
through 3.3. But my customer claims that they are not using OpenSSH version
below 7. Why is this signature getting triggered if OpenSSH version is 7.x?

Regards,
