IBM General Parallel File System OpenSSH Memory Corruption

high Nessus Plugin ID 76766

Language:

Synopsis

A clustered file system on the remote host is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability related to OpenSSH.

Description

A version of IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) that is 3.5.0.11 or later but prior to 3.5.0.19 is installed on the remote host. It is, therefore, affected by a memory corruption issue in the bundled version of OpenSSH. The issue exists due to a failure to initialize certain data structures when makefile.inc is modified to enable the J-PAKE protocol. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM GPFS version 3.5.0.19 or later.
