Wind River · Vxworks · CVE-2013-0711
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**

**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a daemon outage, by sending a crafted authentication request to the IPSSH server.
**Recommendations**
For Wind River VxWorks versions 6.5 through 6.9, consider restricting access to the IPSSH server until a fix is available.
