Description
CVE-2024-6409 is a vulnerability specific to Red Hat-derived distributions, including RHEL and its downstream variants, that is similar in nature to CVE-2024-6387 but affecting a different signal-handling path. The flaw involves the unsafe use of non-async-signal-safe functions inside a signal handler, which can be exploited by a remote unauthenticated attacker to potentially perform a remote code execution (RCE) as an unprivileged user running the sshd server.
