CVE-2009-2818medium
New! CVE Severity Now Using CVSS v3

Description
Adaptive Firewall in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 does not properly handle invalid usernames in SSH login attempts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain login access via a brute-force attack (aka dictionary attack).
