"According to its self-reported version, Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager is affected by a vulnerability.

    - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager due to a signal handler race 
    condition found in sshd, where a client does not authenticate within LoginGraceTime seconds, after which the sshd 
    SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to call various 
    functions that are not async-signal-safe with root privileges. (CVE-2024-6387)
