NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh-clients package and not the openssh-clients package as distributed by Oracle.
See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
sshd in OpenSSH before 7.3, when SHA256 or SHA512 are used for user password hashing, uses BLOWFISH hashing on a static password when the username does not exist, which allows remote attackers to enumerate users by leveraging the timing difference between responses when a large password is provided.
