error in syslog probably referred to ssh session

Hello,

in the syslog.log file I'm getting the following error, it's probably related to an ssh misconfiguration. The ssh session works, the server on the other side can succesfully connect but...
How can I get rid of the error message ?
error message:

Re: error in syslog probably referred to ssh session

The errors may be produced because the client program is using the SSH protocol in a particular way. Newer SSH server versions are better at detecting and adjusting to the oddities of some clients.

If possible, update your SSH package to the latest version and see if the errors still appear.
