CWE Code: 119
Vulnerability Type: privilege_escalation
CVSS Score: 7.2
CWE Name:  Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
Summary: the shared memory manager (associated with pre-authentication compression) in sshd in openssh before 7.4 does not ensure that a bounds check is enforced by all compilers, which might allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a sandboxed privilege-separation process, related to the m_zback and m_zlib data structures.
Access Authentication: NONE
Access Complexity: LOW
Access Vector: LOCAL
Impact (C/I/A): COMPLETE/COMPLETE/COMPLETE
