<p>
Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered a Denial of
Service vulnerability in the SSH protocol version 1 CRC compensation
attack detector.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote unauthenticated attacker may be able to trigger excessive CPU
usage by sending a pathological SSH message, denying service to other
legitimate users or processes.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
The system administrator may disable SSH protocol version 1 in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All OpenSSH users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/openssh-4.3_p2-r5&quot;</code>
</resolution>
