What the CVE records say

CVE-2024-6387 — A security regression (CVE-2006-5051) was discovered in OpenSSH's server (sshd). There is a race condition which can lead sshd to handle some signals in an unsafe manner. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to trigger it by failing to authenticate within a set time period.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to disclosure of sensitive information, addition or modification of data, or Denial of Service (DoS). E-Series SANtricity OS Controller Software 11.x: Affected only in version 11.80.1 when ssh login is enabled. ONTAP Select Deploy administration utility: Affected only in version 9.14.1. ONTAP 9 (formerly Clustered Data ONTAP): Theoretically exploitable in versions 9.11.1 and higher - the exploit has not been demonstrated on FreeBSD. The default values for LoginGraceTime and MaxStartups are 30 seconds and 10:30:60 which reduce the chance of successful exploit.

What to do

Check the affected products listed above against the official advisory's affected-versions table — that is where the exact ONTAP 9 release, ONTAP tool, or management product versions are named.
If affected and a fixed release exists, plan the upgrade — see the ONTAP upgrade runbook.
If exploitation is listed as "active", treat remediation as urgent and review exposure (management LIFs, ONTAP S3, SnapMirror endpoints).
Harden in parallel: security hardening baseline and ransomware protection on ONTAP.
