Two denial of service problems have been found in the OpenSSH server.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities :

  • CVE-2006-4924 The sshd support for ssh protocol version 1 does not properly handle duplicate incoming blocks. This could allow a remote attacker to cause sshd to consume significant CPU resources leading to a denial of service.

  • CVE-2006-5051 A signal handler race condition could potentially allow a remote attacker to crash sshd and could theoretically lead to the ability to execute arbitrary code.
