Descriptions

A nil pointer dereference in the golang.org/x/crypto/ssh component through v0.0.0-20201203163018-be400aefbc4c for Go allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service against SSH servers.

Una desreferencia de puntero null en el componente golang.org/x/crypto/ssh versiones hasta v0.0.0-20201203163018-be400aefbc4c para Go, permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio contra servidores SSH

A null pointer dereference vulnerability was found in golang. When using the library's ssh server without specifying an option for GSSAPIWithMICConfig, it is possible for an attacker to craft an ssh client connection using the `gssapi-with-mic` authentication method and cause the server to panic resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
