Vulnerability Details CVEID: CVE-2008-5161 DESCRIPTION: OpenSSH and multiple SSH Tectia products could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the improper handling of errors within an SSH session which is encrypted with a block cipher algorithm in CBC mode. A remote attacker with read and write access to network data could exploit this vulnerability to display plaintext bits from a block of ciphertext and obtain sensitive information.
