The default configuration of OpenSSH through 6.1 enforces a fixed time limit between establishing a TCP connection and completing a login, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection-slot exhaustion) by periodically making many new TCP connections.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This CVE describes a denial-of-service weakness in OpenSSH through 6.1 default behavior. An unauthenticated remote party could consume SSH connection slots by repeatedly opening connections and not completing login. The main business impact is loss of administrative SSH access, especially on internet-facing systems. Exposure is most likely on systems running OpenSSH through 6.1, particularly internet-facing SSH services using default or vendor-shipped sshd behavior. Vendor references from Red Hat, HP, and Oracle indicate downstream platform relevance, but the bundle does not enumerate exact affected packages. Prioritize internet-facing administrative systems first. This is not a data theft issue, but it can block operations during an incident if SSH access becomes unavailable. Mitigation focus: Check relevant vendor advisories for fixed OpenSSH packages.; Upgrade affected OpenSSH packages where vendor guidance applies.; Review SSH exposure and restrict administrative access where possible..

Use the exact CWE identifier as the starting point before reviewing related ATT&CK behavior. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.
