CVE-2001-1473
Overview
CVE-2001-1473 is a known-severity vulnerability affecting ssh ssh. It was published on January 18, 2001.
Technical Description
The SSH-1 protocol allows remote servers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks and replay a client challenge response to a target server by creating a Session ID that matches the Session ID of the target, but which uses a public key pair that is weaker than the target's public key, which allows the attacker to compute the corresponding private key and use the target's Session ID with the compromised key pair to masquerade as the target.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from ssh. Update ssh to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
