NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pam_ssh_agent_auth package and not the pam_ssh_agent_auth package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The resend_bytes function in roaming_common.c in the client in OpenSSH 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x before 7.1p2 allows remote servers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by requesting transmission of an entire buffer, as demonstrated by reading a private key.
