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.

For the stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.6.

For the unstable and testing distributions, these problems have been fixed in version 1:4.3p2-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssh package.");
