GHSA-VP5V-7J7W-MJXH
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-11-08 18:30 – Updated: 2024-11-08 18:30Dell Enterprise SONiC OS, version(s) 4.1.x, 4.2.x, contain(s) a Missing Critical Step in Authentication vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Protection mechanism bypass. This is a critical severity vulnerability so Dell recommends customers to upgrade at the earliest opportunity.

GHSA-WM5X-HV45-V2V6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-30 12:35 – Updated: 2026-09-30 12:35A missing check in LdapPasswordAuthenticator in component sshd-ldap in Apache MINA SSHD versions 1.2.0 to 2.19.0 or 3.0.0-M1 to 3.0.0-M5 bypassed authentication checks.
Apache MINA SSHD is a Java library for client-side and server-side SSH. The optional sshd-ldap component provides support for integrating password and publickey authentication on the server side with an LDAP server.
sshd-ldap is an optional component. SSH servers implemented with Apache MINA SSHD are affected only if they use sshd-ldap and do configure an LdapPasswordAuthenticator to be used for password authentication. Normal password authentication via the built-in mechanisms in sshd-core is not affected by this vulnerability, which concerns only LdapPasswordAuthenticator.
Users are recommended to upgrade affected applications to version 2.20.0 or 3.0.0-M6, which fix this issue.
