CVE-2014-1692: OpenBSD OpenSSH

High severity, CVSS 7.3. EPSS: 4.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The hash_buffer function in schnorr.c in OpenSSH through 6.4, when Makefile.inc is modified to enable the J-PAKE protocol, does not initialize certain data structures, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger an error condition.

Affected products

  • OpenBSD OpenSSH: up to and including 6.4
