CWE Code: 255
Vulnerability Type: privilege_escalation
CVSS Score: 3.5
CWE Name:  Credentials Management
Summary: the auth_parse_options function in auth-options.c in sshd in openssh before 5.7 provides debug messages containing authorized_keys command options, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading these messages, as demonstrated by the shared user account required by gitolite.  note: this can cross privilege boundaries because a user account may intentionally have no shell or filesystem access, and therefore may have no supported way to read an authorized_keys file in its own home directory.
Access Authentication: SINGLE
Access Complexity: MEDIUM
Access Vector: NETWORK
Impact (C/I/A): PARTIAL/NONE/NONE
