According to its banner, the remote host appears to be running OpenSSH 3.7p1 or 3.7.1p1. These versions are vulnerable to a flaw in the way they handle PAM authentication when PrivilegeSeparation is disabled.
Successful exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to gain a shell on the remote host using a null password.
