CVE-2003-1562

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
Publication date:

Last modified:

Description

sshd in OpenSSH 3.6.1p2 and earlier, when PermitRootLogin is disabled and using PAM keyboard-interactive authentication, does not insert a delay after a root login attempt with the correct password, which makes it easier for remote attackers to use timing differences to determine if the password step of a multi-step authentication is successful, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0190.
