  vulnerability.

  Note: This VT has been deprecated and is therefore no longer functional. Please see the solution
  tag for more information.");

  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"When common types of DRAM are used, OpenSSH might allow row
  hammer attacks (for authentication bypass) because the integer value of authenticated in
  mm_answer_authpassword does not resist flips of a single bit.

  NOTE: this is applicable to a certain threat model of attacker-victim co-location in which the
  attacker has user privileges.");

  script_tag(name:"solution", value:"No solution is required.

  Vendor statement: This attack was not demonstrated against stock OpenSSH, but instead against a
  modified sshd that had extra synchronisation added to make the attack easier.

  Nobody has demonstrated this attack against a configuration remotely approximating real-world
  conditions. We consider rowhammer mitigation to the job of the platform, not userspace
  software.");
