Summary 0012656: CAO (and others?) has ancient ssh daemon, probably insecure.
Description https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html [^] - "This release disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm by default."

On IRC I saw a report of the practical effects of this in the wild; a user unable to connect with a new OpenSSH to CAO.

The sshd on CAO reports itself as OpenSSH_6.0p1. If true, this is too old for "OpenSSH has supported RFC8332 RSA/SHA-256/512 signatures since release 7.2 and existing ssh-rsa keys will automatically use the stronger algorithm where possible"; it is also the version from Debian wheezy, which went out of security support three years ago.
