CVE 2006-5051

'Signal handler race condition in OpenSSH before 4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code if GSSAPI authentication is enabled, via unspecified vectors that lead to a double-free.'

ClearCenter response

Short response

This CVE is addressed in a backported fix to ClearOS. ClearOS 5.x systems were never vulnerable to this bug.

Long response

Previous fixes before the release of ClearOS 5 addressed this issue. ClearOS does not increment version numbers in order to maintain dependencies between subsystems. The audit system has not taken into account ClearOS minor version numbers which correctly represent the fix to the system.

ClearOS has backported fixes to this problem. All versions of ClearOS 5.x are not vulnerable to this issue. ClearOS 6 and later are also not affected by this issue.

Resolution

No action required.
