CVE-2015-8325

The do_setup_env function in session.c in sshd in OpenSSH through 7.2p2, when the UseLogin feature is enabled and PAM is configured to read .pam_environment files in user home directories, allows local users to gain privileges by triggering a crafted environment for the /bin/login program, as demonstrated by an LD_PRELOAD environment variable.

The do_setup_env function in session.c in sshd in OpenSSH through 7.2p2, when the UseLogin feature is enabled and PAM is configured to read .pam_environment files in user home directories, allows local users to gain privileges by triggering a crafted environment for the /bin/login program, as demonstrated by an LD_PRELOAD environment variable (CVE-2015-8325).

When SSHD tries to authenticate a non-existing user, it will pick up a fake password structure hard-coded in the SSHD source code. An attacker can measure timing information to determine if a user exists when verifying a password (CVE-2016-6210).

The auth_password function in auth-passwd.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.3 does not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crypt CPU consumption) via a long string (CVE-2016-6515).

Note that CVE-2015-8325 and CVE-2016-6210 wouldn't affect most Mageia systems, as UseLogin is not enabled by default and Mageia uses Blowfish password hashes by default.

These are all security issues fixed in the openssh-7.2p2-3.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for OpenSSH fixes three security issues.

• Disable DH parameters under 2048 bits by default and allow lowering the limit back to the RFC 4419 specified minimum through an option (bsc#932483, bsc#948902)

openssh was updated to fix three security issues.

These security issues were fixed:

• CVE-2016-3115: Multiple CRLF injection vulnerabilities in session.c in sshd in OpenSSH allowed remote authenticated users to bypass intended shell-command restrictions via crafted X11 forwarding data, related to the (1) do_authenticated1 and (2) session_x11_req functions (bsc#970632).
• CVE-2016-1908: Possible fallback from untrusted to trusted X11 forwarding (bsc#962313).
• CVE-2015-8325: Ignore PAM environment vars when UseLogin=yes (bsc#975865).

These non-security issues were fixed:

• Correctly parse GSSAPI KEX algorithms (bsc#961368)

• Fix PRNG re-seeding (bsc#960414, bsc#729190)
• Disable DH parameters under 2048 bits by default and allow lowering the limit back to the RFC 4419 specified minimum through an option (bsc#932483, bsc#948902)

• Ignore PAM environment when using login. (bsc#975865, CVE-2015-8325)
• Limit the accepted password length (prevents a possible denial of service). (bsc#992533, CVE-2016-6515)
• Relax version requires for the openssh-askpass sub-package. (bsc#962794)
• Avoid complaining about unset DISPLAY variable. (bsc#981654)
• Initialize message id to prevent connection breakups in some cases. (bsc#959096)

Shayan Sadigh discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled environment files when the UseLogin feature is enabled. A local attacker could use this issue to gain privileges. (CVE-2015-8325)

Ben Hawkes discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled certain network traffic. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSH to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2016-1907)

Thomas Hoger discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled untrusted X11 forwarding when the SECURITY extension is disabled. A connection configured as being untrusted could get switched to trusted in certain scenarios, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2016-1908)

It was discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled certain X11 forwarding data. A remote authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certain intended command restrictions. (CVE-2016-3115)
