Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in the mm_answer_pam_free_ctx function in monitor.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.0 on non-OpenBSD platforms might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging control of the sshd uid to send an unexpectedly early MONITOR_REQ_PAM_FREE_CTX request.
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de la liberación de la memoria en la función mm_answer_pam_free_ctx en monitor.c en sshd en OpenSSH en versiones anteriores a 7.0 en plataformas no OpenBSD, podría permitir a usuarios locales obtener privilegios mediante el aprovechamiento del control del sshd uid para enviar una petición MONITOR_REQ_PAM_FREE_CTX inesperadamente temprana.
A use-after-free flaw was found in OpenSSH. An attacker able to fully compromise a non-privileged pre-authentication process using a different flaw could possibly cause sshd to crash or execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
