Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-17 01:03 – Updated: 2026-05-29 21:31

Details

The default configuration of OpenSSH through 6.1 enforces a fixed time limit between establishing a TCP connection and completing a login, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection-slot exhaustion) by periodically making many new TCP connections.

Severity

7.5 (High)
