M-010: Red Hat OpenSSH Vulnerability
[Red Hat Advisory RHSA-2001:114-05]
October 24, 2001 00:00 GMT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: If a user lists multiple keys in their
".ssh/authorized_keys2" file, sshd may in some
circumstances not honor the "from" option which can be
associated with a key, thus allowing unauthorized
users to log in from hosts that have been denied
access.
PLATFORM: * Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386
* Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64
* Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386
DAMAGE: The vulnerability may allow unauthorized users to log
in from hosts that have been denied access.
SOLUTION: Before applying this update, make sure all previously
released errata relevant to your system have been
applied. Proceed to install updated openssh packages
as prescribed below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
VULNERABILITY The risk is LOW. An attacker must have access to an
ASSESSMENT: authorized account (username and password) on the
machine being attacked.

Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated openssh packages available
Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:114-05

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated openssh packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7 and 7.1.
These packages fix a vulnerability which may allow unauthorized users to
log in from hosts that have been denied access.
2001-10-22: Pacakges are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.2.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386
3. Problem description:
If a user lists multiple keys in her .ssh/authorized_keys2 file, sshd may
in some circumstances not honor the "from" option which can be associated
with a key, thereby allowing key-based logins from hosts which should not
be allowed access.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
