Slackware alert SSA:2007-255-01 (openssh)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] openssh (SSA:2007-255-01) New openssh packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, and 12.0 to fix a possible security issue. This version should also provide increased performance with certain ciphers. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4752 Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/openssh-4.7p1-i486-1_slack12.0.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-4.7p1. From the OpenSSH release notes: "Security bugs resolved in this release: Prevent ssh(1) from using a trusted X11 cookie if creation of an untrusted cookie fails; found and fixed by Jan Pechanec." While it's fair to say that we here at Slackware don't see how this could be leveraged to compromise a system, a) the OpenSSH people (who presumably understand the code better) characterize this as a security bug, b) it has been assigned a CVE entry, and c) OpenSSH is one of the most commonly used network daemons. Better safe than sorry. More information should appear here eventually: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4752 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
