I don't think this issue has been addressed yet. My understanding is that it
triggers when there is no user. For example:

    $ ssh -l "" ssh-server

N times (N = the number of times to trigger blacklistd), and the SSH server is
configured with:

    KbdInteractiveAuthentication no
    UseBlacklist yes

I would guess a validation, to check if user is not NULL/empty string, etc. is
missing. But I'll let someone more familiar with the code actually address this
issue.

Thank you for triaging!
