SSH Communications Security Information for VU#389665
| Date Notified: | 2002-10-18 |
| Date Updated: | |
| Status Summary: | Vulnerable |
Vendor StatementWith SSH Secure Shell the worst case effect of the vulnerability is a denial of service (DoS) for a single child-server (connection). This cannot be exploited to gain access to the host and this does not affect the parent server in any wa nor does it hinder the server's ability to receive new connections - it only affects the child server that is handling connections to the malicious client, or a client application that is connecting to a malicious server. No arbitrary code can be executed.Vendor InformationThe vendor has not provided us with any further information regarding this vulnerability.
AddendumThe SSH Communications Security implementation of the SSH transport layer protocol appears to be vulnerable to a null-pointer dereference, which can cause a client or child server process to crash. Existing connections and the ability to make new connections to the server are not affected. The client application terminates. The impact of this vulnerability seems to be limited to denial of service.
