Tavis Ormandy discovered that the SSH daemon did not properly handle authentication packets with duplicated blocks. By sending specially crafted packets, a remote attacker could exploit this to cause the ssh daemon to drain all available CPU resources until the login grace time expired. (CVE-2006-4924)

Mark Dowd discovered a race condition in the server’s signal handling.
A remote attacker could exploit this to crash the server.
(CVE-2006-5051).

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