CVE-2010-5107  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:6 openssh-ldap to version 0:5.3p1-94.el6 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2013-1591.

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 Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 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.
