Description

A flaw was found in OpenSSH's SSH daemon (sshd). A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by repeatedly attempting authentication. The flaw allows the attacker to bypass the intended minimum authentication delay, which can facilitate brute-force attacks. This makes it easier for an attacker to guess valid credentials, potentially leading to unauthorized access or a denial of service.
