======================================================
Name: CVE-2009-1273
Status: Candidate
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1273
Reference: CONFIRM:http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263579
Reference: SECUNIA:34536

pam_ssh 1.92 and possibly other versions, as used when PAM is compiled
with USE=ssh, generates different error messages depending on whether
the username is valid or invalid, which makes it easier for remote
attackers to enumerate usernames.
