The remote SSH daemon supports connections made using the version 1.33 and/or 1.5 of the SSH protocol. 

These protocols are not completely cryptographically safe so they should not be used.

There are several weaknesses in various implementations of the SSH (Secure Shell) protocols. When exploited, they let the attacker obtain sensitive information by passively monitoring encrypted SSH sessions.
The information can later be used to speed up brute-force attacks on passwords, including the initial login password and other passwords appearing in interactive SSH sessions, such as those used with su.
Versions of OpenSSH 2.5.2 and later have been fixed to reduce the impact of these traffic analysis problems, and as such all Linux- Mandrake users are encouraged to upgrade their version of openssh immediately.

Update :

A problem was introduced with a patch applied to the OpenSSH packages released in the previous update. This problem was due to the keepalive patch included, and it broke interoperability with older versions of OpenSSH and SSH. This update removes the patch, and also provides the latest version of OpenSSH which provides a number of new features and enhancements.

The version of SunSSH running on the remote host has an information disclosure vulnerability.  A design flaw in the SSH specification could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to recover up to 32 bits of plaintext from an SSH-protected connection in the standard configuration.  An attacker could exploit this to gain access to sensitive information.

Note that this version of SunSSH is also prone to several additional issues but Nessus did not test for them.

According to its version number, the remote host is a Cisco router or switch running a vulnerable SSH daemon.

By exploiting weaknesses in the SSH protocol, it is possible to insert arbitrary commands into an established SSH session, collect information that may help in brute-force key recovery, or brute-force a session key.

According to its banner, the remote host appears to be running a version of OpenSSH earlier than 2.5.2 / 2.5.2p2. It, therefore, reportedly contains weaknesses in its implementation of the SSH protocol, both versions 1 and 2.  These weaknesses could allow an attacker to sniff password lengths, and ranges of length (this could make brute-force password guessing easier), determine whether RSA or DSA authentication is being used, the number of authorized_keys in RSA authentication and/or the length of shell commands.

Four different Cisco product lines are susceptible to multiple vulnerabilities discovered in the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol version 1.5. These issues have been addressed, and fixes have been integrated into the Cisco products that support this protocol.
By exploiting the weakness in the SSH protocol, it is possible to insert arbitrary commands into an established SSH session, collect information that may help in brute-force key recovery, or brute force a session key.
Affected product lines are:
No other Cisco products are vulnerable. It is possible to mitigate this vulnerability by preventing, or having control over, the interception of SSH traffic.
Cisco IOS is not vulnerable to any of known exploits that are currently used to compromise UNIX hosts. For the warning regarding increased scanning activity for hosts running SSH consult CERT/CC.
