CVE-2006-0883 (CCN-25116)

Assigned:2006-03-01
Published:2006-03-01
Updated:2017-07-20
Summary:OpenSSH on FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.4, when used with OpenPAM, does not properly handle when a forked child process terminates during PAM authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client connection refusal) by connecting multiple times to the SSH server, waiting for the password prompt, then disconnecting.
