Subject: Re: CVE Request: OpenSSH: Memory exhaustion issue found in OpenSSH

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

> The OpenSSH has a memory exhaustion bug in key exchange process. An
> unauthenticated peer could repeat the KEXINIT and cause allocation of
> up to 384MB(not 128MB that the official said). In the default case, an
> attacker can build 100 such connections, which will consume 38400 MB
> of memory on the server.

> http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/kex.c?rev=1.127&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

>> Unregister the KEXINIT handler after message has been received.
