Description:
Red Hat has issued an update for openssh. This fixes a security issue, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The security issue is caused due to an error in signaling child processes to terminate after the LoginGraceTime period has expired. This may be exploited to prevent the daemon from accepting new connections.
Successful exploitation requires that openssh is run in privilege-separated mode, and the MaxStartups and LoginGraceTime options are configured.
