The security issue is caused due to the SSH library using predictable seeds and a cryptographically insecure random number generator to perform cryptographic operations, which can be exploited to e.g. recover DSA host and SSH session keys. The security issue is reported in versions prior to R14B03. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to version R14B03.
