CVE-2004-2069

OpenSSH 3.6.1p2 and 3.7.1p2 - Denial of Service via LoginGraceTime Session Termination

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

sshd.c in OpenSSH 3.6.1p2 and 3.7.1p2 and possibly other versions, when using privilege separation, does not properly signal the non-privileged process when a session has been terminated after exceeding the LoginGraceTime setting, which leaves the connection open and allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection consumption).
