openssh is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A flaw was found in the way OpenSSH handled PAM authentication when using privilege separation. An attacker with valid credentials on the system and able to fully compromise a non-privileged pre-authentication process using a different flaw, could use this flaw to authenticate as other users.
