Description

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.
