SUSE-SA:2006:008: openssh

high Nessus Plugin ID 20923

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2006:008 (openssh).


A problem in the handling of scp in openssh could be used to execute commands on remote hosts even using a scp-only configuration.

This requires doing a remote-remote scp and a hostile server. (CVE-2006-0225)

On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 the xauth pollution problem was fixed too.

The security fix changes the handling of quoting filenames which might break automated scripts using this functionality.

Please check that your automated scp scripts still work after the update.
