Summary

OpenSSH: Schwachstelle ermöglicht Privilegieneskalation

Severity

Mittel

Scope

1 vulnerability in this advisory, including CVE-2015-8325.

CVE-2015-8325

Es existiert eine Schwachstelle in OpenSSH, die zur Privilegienerweiterung ausgenutzt werden kann. Diese Schwachstelle beruht in der Funktion "do_setup_env" in [/session.c b/session.c]. Ein lokaler Angreifer kann diese Schwachstelle ausnutzen, um seine Privilegien auf Root-Rechte zu erweitern. Voraussetzung für einen erfolgreichen Angriff ist, dass zum einen PAM Unterstützung aktiviert und so konfiguriert ist, dass Benutzer-spezifische Umgebungsvariablen gelesen werden und zum anderen in der sshd_config "UseLogin=yes" gesetzt ist.
