Summary
The SSH protocols 1 and 2, as implemented in OpenSSH and other packages, have various weaknesses that can allow a remote attacker to obtain the following information via sniffing: (1) password lengths or ranges of lengths, which simplifies brute force password guessing; (2) whether RSA or DSA authentication is being used; (3) the number of authorized keys in RSA authentication, or (4) the lengths of shell commands.
