Description

OpenSSH (portable) contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code under some circumstances. When configured with GSSAPI authentication, the signal handler is prone to a race condition that could be exploited to conduct a Denial of Service and possibly execute arbitrary code. No further details have been provided. Note: On OpenSSH, this vulnerability can only be leveraged for a remote Denial of Service. The conditions for remote exploitation to execute arbitrary code are considered to be unlikely.
