    CVE-2004-2069

    Published: 31 Dec 2004Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: sshd.c in OpenSSH 3.6.1p2 and 3.7.1p2 and possibly other versions, when using privilege separation, does not properly signal the non-privileged process when a session has been terminated after exceeding the LoginGraceTime setting, which leaves the connection open and allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection consumption).
