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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The shared memory manager (associated with pre-authentication compression) in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not ensure that a bounds check is enforced by all compilers, which might allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a sandboxed privilege-separation process, related to the m_zback and m_zlib data structures.
