CVE-2024-6387 HIGH | |||
Remote Unauthenticated Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in OpenSSH’s server (sshd) in glibc-based Linux systems. The vulnerability, which is a signal handler race condition in OpenSSH’s server (sshd), allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) as root on glibc-based Linux systems; that presents a significant security risk. This race condition affects sshd in its default configuration. The vulnerability is a regression of the previously patched vulnerability CVE-2006-5051, which was reported in 2006. | |||

CVE-2024-6387 HIGH
Remote Unauthenticated Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in OpenSSH’s server (sshd) in glibc-based Linux systems. The vulnerability, which is a signal handler race condition in OpenSSH’s server (sshd), allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) as root on glibc-based Linux systems; that presents a significant security risk. This race condition affects sshd in its default configuration. The vulnerability is a regression of the previously patched vulnerability CVE-2006-5051, which was reported in 2006.
Impacted Versions
This regression was introduced in October 2020 (OpenSSH 8.5p1).
- OpenSSH < 4.4p1 is vulnerable
- 8.5p1 <= OpenSSH < 9.8p1 is vulnerable
- 4.4p1 <= OpenSSH < 8.5p1 is not vulnerable
