NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh package and not the openssh package as distributed by Ubuntu.
OpenSSH through 9.6, when common types of DRAM are used, might allow row hammer attacks (for authentication bypass) because the integer value of authenticated in mm_answer_authpassword does not resist flips of a single bit. NOTE: this is applicable to a certain threat model of attacker-victim co-location in which the attacker has user privileges.
