Every time one of our enrichment pipelines (NVD, MITRE cvelistV5, EPSS, CISA KEV, GHSA, OSV, vendor advisories) ran against this CVE. Most recent first.
Working exploit code is in the public domain (3 GitHub PoCs). Defenders should treat patch urgency accordingly — public PoCs typically lead to mass-exploitation within 24-72 hours.
CVE-2024-6387, also known as RegreSSHion, is a high-severity vulnerability found in OpenSSH servers (sshd) running on glibc-based Linux systems. It is a regression of a previously fixed vulnerability (CVE-2006-5051), which means the issue was reintroduced in newer versions of OpenSSH.
Open source ↗A security regression (CVE-2006-5051) was discovered in OpenSSH's server (sshd). There is a race condition which can lead to sshd to handle some signals in an unsafe manner. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to trigger it by failing to authenticate within a set time period.
