NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh-ldap package and not the openssh-ldap package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability, a heap out-of-bounds read, occurs during the cleanup of GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface) indicators when a trailing NULL termination is missing in the auth-indicators array. A remote attacker, under specific configurations involving GSSAPI authentication and a Kerberos environment, could exploit this to cause the SSH authentication path to crash or abort. This leads to a denial of service (DoS), impacting the availability of the SSH service.
