CVE-ID: N/A

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing SSH banners in ssh-keyscan(1). A remote attacker can use a specially crafted banner to trigger a one-byte buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Double Free

EUVDB-ID: #VU67905

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: N/A

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
