                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           openssh
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:040-1
Date:                   July 2nd, 2002
Original Advisory Date: June 24th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
                        Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 An input validation error exists in the OpenSSH server between versions
 2.3.1 and 3.3 that can result in an integer overflow and privilege
 escalation.  This error is found in the PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt
 code in versions 2.3.1 to 3.3, and the ChallengeResponseAuthentication
 code in versions 2.9.9 to 3.3.  OpenSSH 3.4 and later are not affected,
 and OpenSSH 3.2 and later prevent privilege escalation if
 UsePrivilegeSeparation is enabled; in OpenSSH 3.3 and higher this is
 the default behaviour of OpenSSH.

 To protect yourself, users should be using OpenSSH 3.3 with
 UsePrivilegeSeparation enabled (see MDKSA:2002-040).  However, it is
 highly recommended that all Mandrake Linux users upgrade to version
 3.4 which corrects these errors.

 There are a few caveats with this upgrade, however, that users should
 be aware of:

   - On Linux kernel 2.2 (the default for Mandrake Linux 7.x), the use
     of Compression and UsePrivilegeSeparation are mutually exclusive.
     You can use one feature or the other, not both; we recommend
     disabling Compression and using privsep until this can be resolved.

   - Using privsep may cause some PAM modules which expect to run with
     root privilege to fail.  For instance, users will not be able to
     change their password if they attempt to log into an account with
     an expired password.

 If you absolutely must use one of these features that conflict with
 privsep, you can disable it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config by using:

   UsePrivilegeSeparation no

 However, if you do this, be sure you are running OpenSSH 3.4.  Updates
 to OpenSSH will be made available once these problems are resolved.
