| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenSSH on FreeBSD versions 5.3 through 5.4
Description
The issue arises when OpenSSH on FreeBSD is used with OpenPAM and a forked child process terminates during PAM authentication. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by connecting multiple times to the SSH server, waiting for the password prompt, and then disconnecting.
Recommendations
For OpenSSH on FreeBSD versions 5.3 through 5.4, consider restricting access to the SSH server or implementing measures to limit the number of concurrent connections as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
