NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpam-ssh package and not the libpam-ssh package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

pam_ssh 1.92 and possibly other versions, as used when PAM is compiled with USE=ssh, generates different error messages depending on whether the username is valid or invalid, which makes it easier for remote attackers to enumerate usernames.
