CVE-2006-5794  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest openssh to version 1:4.3p2-6 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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Unspecified vulnerability in the sshd Privilege Separation Monitor in OpenSSH before 4.5 causes weaker verification that authentication has been successful, which might allow attackers to bypass authentication. NOTE: as of 20061108, it is believed that this issue is only exploitable by leveraging vulnerabilities in the unprivileged process, which are not known to exist.
