--------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated openssh packages available Advisory ID: RHSA-2002:043-10 Issue date: 2002-03-05 Updated on: 2002-03-08 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: openssh sshd channel Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2001:161 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated openssh packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7, 7.1, and 7.2 which close a remotely-exploitable vulnerability in sshd. 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, ia64 3. Problem description: Joost Pol has discovered an off-by-one error in all versions of the OpenSSH daemon (sshd) prior to version 3.1. This issue could allow an authenticated user to cause sshd to corrupt its heap, potentially allowing arbitrary code to be executed on the remote server. Alternatively, a malicious SSH server could be crafted to attack a vulnerable OpenSSH client. Users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages containing OpenSSH 3.1, which is not vulnerable to this issue. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0083 to this issue. 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. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): 60829 - HIGH: Existing users will gain root privileges. 6.
