Synopsis:          Moderate: openssh security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2016:2588-2
Issue Date:        2016-11-03
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2015-8325
--

Security Fix(es):

* It was discovered that the OpenSSH sshd daemon fetched PAM environment
settings before running the login program. In configurations with
UseLogin=yes and the pam_env PAM module configured to read user
environment settings, a local user could use this flaw to execute
arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2015-8325)
