The remote AIX host has a version of OpenSSH installed that is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the sshd server component of OpenSSH due to improper sanitization of X11 authentication credentials. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary xauth commands.
(CVE-2016-3115)
A security bypass vulnerability exists in the sshd server component of OpenSSH due to improper error handling. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability, when an authentication cookie is generated during untrusted X11 forwarding, to gain access to the X server on the host system.
(CVE-2016-1908)
