| Title: | DSA-2826-1 deny hosts - Remote denial of ssh service | ||
| Description: | Helmut Grohne discovered that deny hosts, a tool preventing SSH brute-force attacks, could be used to perform remote denial of service against the SSH daemon. Incorrectly specified regular expressions used to detect brute force attacks in authentication logs could be exploited by a malicious user to forge crafted login names in order to make deny hosts ban arbitrary IP addresses. | ||
