could you please assign two CVE IDs for the following two security
issues fixed in OpenSSH 7.0 (directly taken from the release notes [1]):

 * sshd(8): Portable OpenSSH only: Fixed a privilege separation
   weakness related to PAM support. Attackers who could successfully
   compromise the pre-authentication process for remote code
   execution and who had valid credentials on the host could
   impersonate other users.  Reported by Moritz Jodeit.

 * sshd(8): Portable OpenSSH only: Fixed a use-after-free bug
   related to PAM support that was reachable by attackers who could
   compromise the pre-authentication process for remote code
   execution. Also reported by Moritz Jodeit.

Far more important than having CVEs would be to know when (in what
version) these bugs were introduced, with what commits, and what commits
fix them.  For checking derived versions, and for backports.

Would you share this info, please?

(I guess I could find it myself, but I think it's preferable to have it
posted to oss-security anyway, so I prefer to ask you.)

Thanks,

Alexander
