Debian DSA-091-1 : ssh - influencing login

This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2013 Tenable Network Security, Inc.


Synopsis :

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description :

If the UseLogin feature is enabled in ssh local users could pass
environment variables (including variables like LD_PRELOAD) to the
login process. This has been fixed by not copying the environment if
UseLogin is enabled.

Please note that the default configuration for Debian does not have
UseLogin enabled.
