COMMAND
OpenSSH defect in the BSD_AUTH access control handling
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
OpenSSH 3.2.2
PROBLEM
Reported as bug \"OpenBSD PR 2659\", - there is a defect in the
BSD_AUTH access control handling for OpenBSD and BSD/OS systems:
Under certain conditions, on systems using YP with netgroups in the
password database, it is possible that sshd does ACL checks for the
requested user name but uses the password database entry of a different
user for authentication. This means that denied users might
authenticate successfully while permitted users could be locked out
(OpenBSD PR 2659).
SOLUTION
Upgrade to OpenSSH 3.2.3
