The regreSSHion vulnerability (CVE-2024-6387) in OpenSSH’s server (sshd) on glibc-based Linux systems is a critical flaw due to a signal handler race condition. This vulnerability, a regression of CVE-2006-5051, allows unauthenticated remote code execution as root. It affects sshd’s default configuration and was reintroduced in OpenSSH 8.5p1. Immediate mitigation includes applying patches and adjusting `LoginGraceTime`. This issue underscores the importance of thorough regression testing and vigilant patch management in cybersecurity.
