Kolejna luka w OpenSSH
Wczoraj zostala publicznie ogloszona swiatu informacja o kolejnym zagrozeniu zwiazanym z SSH. Zalecany jest jak zwykle upgrade do jak najnowszej wersji, czyli w tym wypadku 3.1. Pozostaje tylko pytanie, na jaka dlugo ta wersja jest bezpieczna? Ponizej listy z informacja o bledzie:

Subject: OpenSSH Security Advisory (adv.channelalloc)
1. Systems affected:
All versions of OpenSSH between 2.0 and 3.0.2 contain
an off-by-one error in the channel code.
OpenSSH 3.1 and later are not affected.
2. Impact:
This bug can be exploited locally by an authenticated user
logging into a vulnerable OpenSSH server or by a malicious
SSH server attacking a vulnerable OpenSSH client.
3. Solution:
Upgrade to OpenSSH 3.1 or apply the following patch.

FreeBSD-SA-02:13 Security Advisory
FreeBSD, Inc.
Topic: OpenSSH contains exploitable off-by-one bug
Category: core, ports
Module: openssh, ports_openssh, openssh-portable
Announced: 2002-03-07

Affects: FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE, 4.5-RELEASE

CVE: CAN-2002-0083
FreeBSD only: NO
I. Background
OpenSSH is a free version of the SSH protocol suite of network
connectivity tools. OpenSSH encrypts all traffic (including
passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection
hijacking, and other network-level attacks. Additionally, OpenSSH
provides a myriad of secure tunneling capabilities, as well as a
variety of authentication methods. `ssh’ is the client application,
while `sshd’ is the server.
II. Problem Description
OpenSSH multiplexes `channels’ over a single TCP connection in order
to implement X11, TCP, and agent forwarding. An off-by-one error in
the code which manages channels can result in a reference to memory
beyond that allocated for channels. A malicious client or server may
be able to influence the contents of the memory so referenced.
III. Impact
An authorized remote user (i.e. a user that can successfully
authenticate on the target system) may be able to cause sshd to
execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges.
A malicious server may be able to cause a connecting ssh client to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the client user.
IV. Workaround
Do one of the following:
1) The FreeBSD malloc implementation can be configured to overwrite
or `junk’ memory that is returned to the malloc arena. Due to the
details of exploiting this bug, configuring malloc to junk memory
will thwart the attack.
To configure a FreeBSD system to junk memory, execute the following
commands as root:
# ln -fs J /etc/malloc.conf
Note that this option will degrade system performance. See the
malloc(3) man page for full details on malloc options.
2) Disable the base system sshd by executing the following command as
root:
# kill `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
Be sure that sshd is not restarted when the system is restarted
by adding the following line to the end of /etc/rc.conf:
sshd_enable=”NO”
AND
Deinstall the openssh or openssh-portable ports if you have one of
them installed.
V. Solution
Do one of the following:
[For OpenSSH included in the base system]
1) Upgrade the vulnerable system to 4.4-RELEASEp9, 4.5-RELEASEp2,
or 4.5-STABLE after the correction date and rebuild.
2) FreeBSD 4.x systems prior to the correction date:
The following patch has been verified to apply to FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE,
4.5-RELEASE, and 4.5-STABLE dated prior to the correction date. It
may or may not apply to older, unsupported versions of FreeBSD.
Download the patch and the detached PGP signature from the following
locations, and verify the signature using your PGP utility.
# fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-02:13/openssh.patch
# fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-02:13/openssh.patch.asc
Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/sshd.patch
# cd /usr/src/secure/lib/libssh
# make depend && make all
# cd /usr/src/secure/usr.sbin/sshd
# make depend && make all install
# cd /usr/src/secure/usr.bin/ssh
# make depend && make all install
[For the OpenSSH ports]
One of the following:
1) Upgrade your entire ports collection and rebuild the OpenSSH port.
2) Deinstall the old package and install a new package obtained from
the following directory:
[i386]
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/security/
[other platforms]
Packages are not automatically generated for other platforms at this
time due to lack of build resources.
3) Download a new port skeleton for the openssh or openssh-portable
port from:
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/
and use it to rebuild the port.
4) Use the portcheckout utility to automate option (3) above. The
portcheckout port is available in /usr/ports/devel/portcheckout or the
package can be obtained from:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/
packages-4-stable/Latest/portcheckout.tgz
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/
packages-5-current/Latest/portcheckout.tgz
