                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:		openssh
Date:			November 14th, 2000
Original Advisory Date:	November 13th, 2000
Advisory ID:		MDKSA-2000:068-1

Affected versions:	7.0, 7.1, 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A vulnerability exists with all versions of OpenSSH prior to 2.3.0 with
 regards to the X11 forwarding and ssh-agent.  If agent or X11
 forwarding is disabled in the ssh client configuration, the client does
 not request these features during session setup.  However, when the ssh
 client receives an actual request asking for access to the ssh-agent,
 the client fails to check whether this feature has been negotiated
 during session setup.  The client does not check whether the request is 
 in compliance with the client configuration and grants access to the
 ssh-agent.  A similar problem exists in the X11 forwarding
 implementation. 

Update:

 The packages announced yesterday for Linux-Mandrake 7.0 and 7.1 did
 not have PAM support enabled.  This meant that the server would not
 allow logins.  These updated packages for 7.0 and 7.1 are now available
 with PAM support properly enabled.
________________________________________________________________________

Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to
ensure the integrity of the downloaded package.  You can do this by
running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm".

To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».  

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one 
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".  

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:

  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.  

Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.  
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/RPMS/".  Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to 
update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two 
above-listed mirrors.
