upgrading ssh

[Database Administrator]

Hello, I`m new in the AIX's world,
I`m working on a AIX 5.3, with openssh 4.1.8.
An scanner has tell me that it is vulnerable to a SSH1 problem.

I need to upgrade ssh?
does openssh 4.1.8 support ssh2 protocol?
or only need reconfigure sshd_config for ssh2 support?

Thanxs, Regards!

If you don't use SSHv1, you of course don't have to worry
about the flaw. In this case, ensure your sshd only allow
the protocol v1 :

# grep Protocol /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -v '^#'
Protocol 2

If you do decide to upgrade, you can obtain the binaries here:

In order to make a link like

ssh host

work, you need to register the SSH protocol with the operating system via the Windows Registry (if you're using Windows; doing so will work for all browsers) or by editing the about.config file (for Mac/UNIX, if you're using Firefox).
