CVE-2005-2797

Publication date 6 September 2005

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

OpenSSH 4.0, and other versions before 4.2, does not properly handle dynamic port forwarding ("-D" option) when a listen address is not provided, which may cause OpenSSH to enable the GatewayPorts functionality.
