| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenSSH versions 3.6.1p2 and 3.7.1p2
Description
The issue occurs in the sshd.c component of OpenSSH when using privilege separation. It does not properly signal the non-privileged process when a session has been terminated after exceeding the LoginGraceTime setting. This leaves the connection open, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service by consuming connections.
Recommendations
For OpenSSH versions 3.6.1p2 and 3.7.1p2, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
