DEBIAN-CVE-2010-5107 PUBLISHED CVSS 9.300000190734863 CRITICAL

The default configuration of OpenSSH through 6.1 enforces a fixed time limit between establishing a TCP connection and completing a login, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection-slot exhaustion) by periodically making many new TCP connections.
