1) Race condition in sshd(8)
A critical vulnerability in sshd(8) was present that may allow arbitrary code execution with root
privileges.
Successful exploitation has been demonstrated on 32-bit Linux/glibc systems with ASLR. Under lab
conditions, the attack requires on average 6-8 hours of continuous connections up to the maximum
the server will accept. Exploitation on 64-bit systems is believed to be possible but has not been
demonstrated at this time. It's likely that these attacks will be improved upon.
Exploitation on non-glibc systems is conceivable but has not been examined. Systems that lack ASLR
or users of downstream Linux distributions that have modified OpenSSH to disable per-connection
ASLR re-randomisation (yes - this is a thing, no - we don't understand why) may potentially have
an easier path to exploitation.
OpenBSD is not vulnerable.");
