Or is the CVE for the original issue where deny_hosts didn't work as expected? It doesn't seem to be public.
As I understand RH released patch to fix problem with deny_file statement (not hosts) -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=174764 But introduce memory leak (CVE-2007-5962) and release package with fixed version of their patch. Please correct me if I make mistake, but seems this is a typo and You mean deny_file, not deny_hosts. -- //ShaD0w
