Notes

Even without the fix, there is no impact from this issue since RSA Authentication Manager does not configure SSH in the manner required for the vulnerability to exist.

Also, remember that the SSH interface is not enabled by default and RSA recommends that customers DO NOT enable this interface unless required for maintenance and then disable it when maintenance is complete.
