CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : openssh
SUMMARY : Remote vulnerabilities in openssh
DATE : 2001-10-24 18:20:00
ID : CLA-2001:431
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 5.0, prg graficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
OpenSSH is a tool to access remote machines via a cryptographic
connection.
Three vulnerabilities are being addressed by this advisory:
1) Markus Friedl reported [1] a vulnerability [2] in OpenSSH that
could allow users to circumvent system policy and login from
disallowed source IP addresses.
This only affects sites using the "from=" key file option in
combination with both RSA and DSA keys in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
file. If the key with the "from=" option is immediattely followed by
a key of a different type then the options for this second key are
applied to both keys. If this second key doesn't have the "from="
option, for example, this would effectively remove this option from
the first key.
2) Peter W. reported [5] that the sftp subsystem in openssh 2.5 and
2.9 is not subject to "command=" restrictions in the
~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file. Users could bypass these restrictions
if they used sftp, which was enabled by default on our releases of
this package. New installs will have this subsystem disabled by
default (upgrades won't touch this setting).
3) For Conectiva Linux <= 6.0 this update also fixes the older cookie
removal [3] vulnerability, announced [4] by zen-parse, where an user
could trick ssh into removing any file called "cookies". This only
affects systems with X11 forwarding enabled, which is not the default
in our packages.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all OpenSSH users upgrade their packages.
Please note that this upgrade will restart the service if it already
running.
