CVE-2006-5794

CVSS v2.0

7.5

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: OpenSSH versions 3.6.1p2 and earlier
Description: The issue affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. It can be exploited remotely. According to the available data, there is an unspecified vulnerability in the sshd Privilege Separation Monitor in OpenSSH before version 4.5, which causes weaker verification that authentication has been successful. This might allow attackers to bypass authentication.
Recommendations: For OpenSSH versions 3.6.1p2 and earlier, update to version 4.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the sshd Privilege Separation Monitor until a patch is available.
