Slackware alert SSA:2006-272-02 (openssh)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] openssh (SSA:2006-272-02) New openssh packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current to fix security issues. More details about these issues may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4924 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5051 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5052 Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/openssh-4.4p1-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-4.4p1. This fixes a few security related issues. From the release notes found at http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.4: * Fix a pre-authentication denial of service found by Tavis Ormandy, that would cause sshd(8) to spin until the login grace time expired. * Fix an unsafe signal hander reported by Mark Dowd. The signal handler was vulnerable to a race condition that could be exploited to perform a pre-authentication denial of service. On portable OpenSSH, this vulnerability could theoretically lead to pre-authentication remote code execution if GSSAPI authentication is enabled, but the likelihood of successful exploitation appears remote. * On portable OpenSSH, fix a GSSAPI authentication abort that could be used to determine the validity of usernames on some platforms. Links to the CVE entries will be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4924 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5051 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5052 After this upgrade, make sure the permissions on /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd are set the way you want them. Future upgrades will respect the existing permissions settings. Thanks to Manuel Reimer for pointing out that upgrading openssh would enable a previously disabled sshd daemon. Do better checking of passwd, shadow, and group to avoid adding redundant entries to these files. Thanks to Menno Duursma.
