Doing an audit on a network with an Extreme Networks BlackDiamond
8810 (or Aspen 8810) running 11.2.2.3 and the SSH module installed I
found that safe checks cause the CPU to go 100% and stay there on the
switch until a reboot. The thttpd (encryption) processes are the
problem. I did not have time to figure out what plugin was causing
this but it was repeatable. Extreme Networks said there is a bug in
the 11.2 code and recommended an upgrade to 11.3.3.7 which did fix
the the 100% cpu load problem but introduced SSH vulnerability. Just
wanted to give everyone a heads up that if your scanning a network
with that switch safe checks are not safe and how to fix the problem.
