OpenSSH secure shell client and server had a denial of service vulnerability reported.

CVE-2016-6515 The password authentication function in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.3 does not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crypt CPU consumption) via a long string.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this problems has been fixed in version 6.0p1-4+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
