**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** OpenSSH versions prior to 3.7 OpenSSH-server versions 3.1p1 through 3.4p1 OpenSSH-askpass versions 3.1p1 through 3.4p1 OpenSSH-askpass-gnome versions 3.1p1 through 3.4p1 OpenSSH-clients versions 3.1p1 through 3.4p1 **Description** The issue is related to multiple vulnerabilities in OpenSSH, which can lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities can be done remotely. A "buffer management error" in buffer append space of buffer.c for OpenSSH before 3.7 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing an incorrect amount of memory to be freed and corrupting the heap. **Recommendations** For OpenSSH versions prior to 3.7, update to version 3.7 or later. For OpenSSH-server versions 3.1p1 through 3.4p1, update to version 3.7 or later. For OpenSSH-askpass versions 3.1p1 through 3.4p1, update to version 3.7 or later. For OpenSSH-askpass-gnome versions 3.1p1 through 3.4p1, update to version 3.7 or later. For OpenSSH-clients versions 3.1p1 through 3.4p1, update to version 3.7 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable OpenSSH components until a patch is available.
