Insight

Insight

OpenSSH is an implementation of the SSH protocol suite, providing an encrypted, authenticated transport for a variety of services, including remote shell access. The CRC compensation attack detector in the sshd(8) daemon, upon receipt of duplicate blocks, uses CPU time cubic in the number of duplicate blocks received. [CVE-2006-4924] A race condition exists in a signal handler used by the sshd(8) daemon to handle the LoginGraceTime option, which can potentially cause some cleanup routines to be executed multiple times. [CVE-2006-5051]
