Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSH. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Workaround

Background

OpenSSH is a free application suite consisting of server and clients that replace tools like telnet, rlogin, rcp and ftp with more secure versions offering additional functionality.

Description

A vulnerability has been discovered in OpenSSH. Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.

Impact

A critical vulnerability in sshd(8) was present in Portable OpenSSH versions that may allow arbitrary code execution with root privileges. Successful exploitation has been demonstrated on 32-bit Linux/glibc systems with ASLR. Under lab conditions, the attack requires on average 6-8 hours of continuous connections up to the maximum the server will accept. Exploitation on 64-bit systems is believed to be possible but has not been demonstrated at this time. It's likely that these attacks will be improved upon.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time. Note that Gentoo has backported the fix to the following versions: net-misc/openssh-9.6_p1-r5 net-misc/openssh-9.7_p1-r6

Resolution

All OpenSSH users should upgrade to the latest version and restart the sshd server (to ensure access for new sessions and no vulnerable code keeps running).

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/openssh-9.7_p1-r6"

With OpenRC:

# rc-service sshd restart

With systemd:

#  systemctl try-restart sshd.service

Background

OpenSSH is a complete SSH protocol implementation that includes SFTP client and server support.

Description

OpenSSH, when built with “xmss” USE flag enabled, has a pre-authentication integer overflow if a client or server is configured to use a crafted XMSS key.

NOTE: This USE flag is disabled by default!

Impact

A remote attacker could connect to a vulnerable OpenSSH server using a special crafted XMSS key possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
net-misc/openssh*< 7.1_p2>= 7.1_p2

Background

OpenSSH is a complete SSH protocol implementation that includes SFTP client and server support.

Description

Qualys have reported two issues in the “roaming” code included in the OpenSSH client, which provides undocumented, experimental support for resuming SSH connections. An OpenSSH client could be tricked into leaking parts of its memory to a malicious server. Furthermore, a buffer overflow can be exploited by a malicious server, but its exploitation requires non-default options and is mitigated due to another bug.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a specially crafted OpenSSH server, possibly resulting in the disclosure of the user’s private keys. Users with private keys that are not protected by a passphrase are advised to generate new keys if they have connected to an SSH server they don’t fully trust.

Note that no special configuration is required to be vulnerable as the roaming feature is enabled by default on the client.

Workaround

The issues can be worked around by disabling the roaming code. To do so, add “UseRoaming no” to the SSH client configuration, or specify “-o ‘UseRoaming no’” on the command line.

net-misc/openssh*< 4.7_p1-r6>= 4.7_p1-r6

Background

OpenSSH is a complete SSH protocol implementation that includes an SFTP client and server support.

Description

Two issues have been discovered in OpenSSH:

  • Timo Juhani Lindfors discovered that OpenSSH sets the DISPLAY variable in SSH sessions using X11 forwarding even when it cannot bind the X11 server to a local port in all address families (CVE-2008-1483).
  • OpenSSH will execute the contents of the ".ssh/rc" file even when the "ForceCommand" directive is enabled in the global sshd_config (CVE-2008-1657).

Impact

A local attacker could exploit the first vulnerability to hijack forwarded X11 sessions of other users and possibly execute code with their privileges, disclose sensitive data or cause a Denial of Service, by binding a local X11 server to a port using only one address family. The second vulnerability might allow local attackers to bypass intended security restrictions and execute commands other than those specified by "ForceCommand" if they are able to write to their home directory.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Description

Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team has discovered a pre-authentication vulnerability, causing sshd to spin until the login grace time has been expired. Mark Dowd found an unsafe signal handler that was vulnerable to a race condition. It has also been discovered that when GSSAPI authentication is enabled, GSSAPI will in certain cases incorrectly abort.

Impact

The pre-authentication and signal handler vulnerabilities can cause a Denial of Service in OpenSSH. The vulnerability in the GSSAPI authentication abort could be used to determine the validity of usernames on some platforms.
