Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2016-0778 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (openssh), 5 status rows across 5 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, vivid, wily): released 5.
The (1) roaming_read and (2) roaming_write functions in roaming_common.c in the client in OpenSSH 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x before 7.1p2, when certain proxy and forward options are enabled, do not properly maintain connection file descriptors, which allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by requesting many forwardings.
