Vendor support has ended for the version of the SSH Secure Shell on IST’s software.berkeley.edu. and EECS’s winsww.eecs and hermes.eecs. At this time the product does not meet campus Minimum Security Standards and may increasingly become a potential target for attack.

IST has announced they will end distribution of this Windows SSH client on October 1, 2007. IDSG is announcing the same.

Effective October 1, 2007, SSH Secure Shell will no longer be available on winsww.eecs or hermes.eecs.

This only affects the Windows SSH client. Vendor-provided command line ssh clients are not affected on Solaris, Linux, or MacOS. Nor does this affect the SSH service on argus or any other servers.

IRIS is weighing alternative replacements, and a recommendation will be forthcoming.
