Upstream information

CVE-2006-5229 at MITRE

Description

OpenSSH portable 4.1 on SUSE Linux, and possibly other platforms and versions, and possibly under limited configurations, allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames via timing discrepancies in which responses take longer for valid usernames than invalid ones, as demonstrated by sshtime. NOTE: as of 20061014, it appears that this issue is dependent on the use of manually-set passwords that causes delays when processing /etc/shadow due to an increased number of rounds.

Note from the SUSE Security Team

This issue affects SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE as currently there is no blinding implemented. Given that openssh login attempts are usually rate limited to reduce risk of SSH worms, this rate limiting will also make this user account presence guessing problem ineffective. In general we consider this a minor issue and are not planning fixes for it at this time.
