CVE-2010-5107  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 openssh to version 1:6.0p1-4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh package and not the openssh package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
