openssh: information disclosure

Package(s):openssh CVE #(s):CVE-2012-0814
Created:March 13, 2013 Updated:March 13, 2013
Description: From the CVE entry:

The auth_parse_options function in auth-options.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 5.7 provides debug messages containing authorized_keys command options, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading these messages, as demonstrated by the shared user account required by Gitolite. NOTE: this can cross privilege boundaries because a user account may intentionally have no shell or filesystem access, and therefore may have no supported way to read an authorized_keys file in its own home directory.

Alerts:
