Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenSSH versions prior to 4.0
Description The issue allows an attacker that has compromised an SSH user's account to more easily generate a list of additional targets that are more likely to have the same password or key. This is because hostnames, IP addresses, and keys are stored in plaintext in the known hosts file.
