A flaw was found in the OpenSSH package. For each ping packet the SSH server receives, a pong packet is allocated in a memory buffer and stored in a queue of packages. It is only freed when the server/client key exchange has finished. A malicious client may keep sending such packages, leading to an uncontrolled increase in memory consumption on the server side. Consequently, the server may become unavailable, resulting in a denial of service attack.
An authenticated user who has read access to the juju controller model, may construct a remote request to download an arbitrary file from the controller's filesystem.
Mark Laing discovered in LXD's PKI mode, until version 5.21.1, that a restricted certificate could be added to the trust store with its restrictions not honoured.

Authd PAM module before version 0.3.5 can allow broker-managed users to impersonate any other user managed by the same broker and perform any PAM operation with it, including authenticating as them.
