Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202407-9 - A vulnerability has been discovered in OpenSSH, which can lead to remote code execution with root privileges. Versions greater than or equal to 9.7_p1-r6 are affected.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6859-1 - It was discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled signal management. A remote attacker could use this issue to bypass authentication and remotely access systems without proper credentials.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5724-1 - The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) discovered that OpenSSH, an implementation of the SSH protocol suite, is prone to a signal handler race condition. If a client does not authenticate within LoginGraceTime seconds (120 by default), then sshd's SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously and calls various functions that are not async-signal-safe. A remote unauthenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. This flaw affects sshd in its default configuration.

Qualys has discovered a a signal handler race condition vulnerability in OpenSSH's server, sshd. If a client does not authenticate within LoginGraceTime seconds (120 by default, 600 in old OpenSSH versions), then sshd's SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously, but this signal handler calls various functions that are not async-signal-safe - for example, syslog(). This race condition affects sshd in its default configuration.

This is a Linux/portable port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH. OpenSSH is based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's SSH with all patent-encumbered algorithms removed, all known security bugs fixed, new features reintroduced, and many other clean-ups.

OpenSSH maintainers have released security updates to contain a critical security flaw that could result in unauthenticated remote code execution with root privileges in glibc-based Linux systems. The vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-6387. It resides in the OpenSSH server component, also known as sshd, which is designed to listen for connections from any of the client

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-0041-03 - Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.16.0 is now available with updates to packages and images that fix several bugs and add enhancements. Issues addressed include denial of service, memory exhaustion, password leak, and resource exhaustion vulnerabilities.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5723-1 - Fabian Vogt discovered that the KDE session management server insufficiently restricted ICE connections from localhost, which could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code as another user on next boot.

While Progress has released patches for the vulnerabilities, attackers are trying to exploit them before organizations have a chance to remediate.

The peer-to-peer malware botnet known as P2PInfect has been found targeting misconfigured Redis servers with ransomware and cryptocurrency miners. The development marks the threat's transition from what appeared to be a dormant botnet with unclear motives to a financially motivated operation. "With its latest updates to the crypto miner, ransomware payload, and rootkit elements, it demonstrates
