Software Description:
– openssh: secure shell (SSH) for secure access to remote machines

using PAM authentication. If an additional vulnerability were discovered in
the OpenSSH unprivileged child process, this issue could allow a remote
attacker to perform user impersonation. (CVE number pending)
Moritz Jodeit discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled context memory
when using PAM authentication. If an additional vulnerability were
discovered in the OpenSSH unprivileged child process, this issue could
allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication or possibly execute

Jann Horn discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled time windows for
X connections. A remote attacker could use this issue to bypass certain
