6.8 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

DenyHosts 2.6 does not properly parse sshd log files, which allows remote attackers to add arbitrary hosts to the /etc/hosts.deny file and cause a denial of service by adding arbitrary IP addresses to the sshd log file, as demonstrated by logging in via ssh with a client protocol version identification containing an IP address string, a different vector than CVE-2006-6301.

Affected configurations

• denyhosts denyhosts 2.6
