An update that solves 5 vulnerabilities and has 6 fixes is
now available.
Description:
openssh was updated to fix several security issues and bugs.
These security issues were fixed:
* CVE-2015-5352: The x11_open_helper function in channels.c in ssh in
OpenSSH when ForwardX11Trusted mode is not used, lacked a check of the
refusal deadline for X connections, which made it easier for remote
attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a connection outside
of the permitted time window (bsc#936695).
* CVE-2015-5600: The kbdint_next_device function in auth2-chall.c in sshd
in OpenSSH did not properly restrict the processing of
keyboard-interactive devices within a single connection, which made it
easier for remote attackers to conduct brute-force attacks or cause a
denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long and duplicative list in
the ssh -oKbdInteractiveDevices option, as demonstrated by a modified
client that provides a different password for each pam element on this
list (bsc#938746).
* CVE-2015-4000: Removed and disabled weak DH groups to address LOGJAM
(bsc#932483).
* Hardening patch to fix sftp RCE (bsc#903649).
* CVE-2015-6563: The monitor component in sshd in OpenSSH accepted
extraneous username data in MONITOR_REQ_PAM_INIT_CTX requests, which
allowed local users to conduct impersonation attacks by leveraging any
SSH login access in conjunction with control of the sshd uid to send a
crafted MONITOR_REQ_PWNAM request, related to monitor.c and
monitor_wrap.c.
* CVE-2015-6564: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
mm_answer_pam_free_ctx function in monitor.c in sshd in OpenSSH might
have allowed local users to gain privileges by leveraging control of the
sshd uid to send an unexpectedly early MONITOR_REQ_PAM_FREE_CTX request.
These non-security issues were fixed:
- bsc#914309: sshd inherits oom_adj -17 on SIGHUP causing DoS potential
for oom_killer.
- bsc#673532: limits.conf fsize change in SLES10SP3 causing problems to
WebSphere mqm user.
- bsc#916549: Fixed support for aesXXX-gcm at openssh.com.
