Description

OpenSSH, when configured to use GSSAPI authentication, is prone to a remote information disclosure weakness. The issue occurs due to the GSSAPI authentication routine responding differently to an attacker who lets the connection proceed normally versus aborting the connection prematurely. This different in the system's response allows an attacker to determine which accounts are valid.
