Caldera International, Inc. Security Advisory

Subject: Linux - Remote vulnerability in OpenSSH
Advisory number: CSSA-2001-042.0
Issue date: 2001, December 11
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

The OpenSSH team has reported a vulnerability in the OpenSSH server
that allows remote attackers to obtain root privilege if the server
has the UseLogin option enabled. This option is off by default on
OpenLinux, so a default installation is not vulnerable.

We nevertheless recommend to our customers to upgrade to the fixed
package.

Exploits of this vulnerability have apparently been circulated for
some time.


2. Vulnerable Versions

System Package
-----------------------------------------------------------
OpenLinux 2.3 not vulnerable

OpenLinux eServer 2.3.1 All packages previous to
and OpenLinux eBuilder openssh-2.9p2-4

OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 All packages previous to
openssh-2.9p2-4

OpenLinux Server 3.1 All packages previous to
openssh-2.9p2-4

OpenLinux Workstation 3.1 All packages previous to
openssh-2.9p2-4



3. Solution

Workaround

Make sure that you do not have the UseLogin option enabled.
In /etc/ssh/sshd_config, the UseLogin option should either
be commended out, or should be set to "no".

The proper solution is to upgrade to the latest packages.

4. OpenLinux 2.3
