"Vulnerabilities Discovered in Internet Standard SSH"

Critical vulnerabilities in the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol have been discovered by a team of researchers at Ruhr University Bochum. They discovered that certain security-related parts of the standard are broken, allowing attackers to delete data from the secure connection. SSH is mainly used where servers are managed remotely. This protocol is supported by more than 15 million servers on the Internet. SSH is also implemented in network devices such as routers. SSH attacks can be dangerous because, in the worst-case scenario, attackers can gain complete control of the server. This article continues to discuss the discovery of vulnerabilities in the SSH protocol.
