CVE-2012-0814 (GCVE-0-2012-0814)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2012-01-27 19:00 – Updated: 2026-05-22 10:28
VLAI
Summary
The auth_parse_options function in auth-options.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 5.7 provides debug messages containing authorized_keys command options, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading these messages, as demonstrated by the shared user account required by Gitolite. NOTE: this can cross privilege boundaries because a user account may intentionally have no shell or filesystem access, and therefore may have no supported way to read an authorized_keys file in its own home directory.
