Check your version of ssh. Openssh v. 3.0+ is NOT vunerable to that
overflow error. 

Also, verify that the interface it's coming in on is really what you
think it is. Add a firewall rule to log incoming port 22 packets. You
can set the log string to be what ever you want. So set one for external
interface and one for internal interface.
