Debian Security Advisory DSA-134-2 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone
June 25, 2002
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : ssh
Problem type : remote exploit
Debian-specific: no
This advisory is an update to DSA-134-2: the changes mainly deal with
packaging issues; if you have already successfully installed an
openssh package from a previous DSA-134 advisory you may disregard
this message.
Theo de Raadt announced that the OpenBSD team is working with ISS to
address a remote exploit for OpenSSH (a free implementation of the
Secure SHell protocol). They are refusing to provide any details on
the vulnerability but instead are advising users to upgrade to the
latest release, version 3.3.
This version was released 22 Jun 2002 and enabled by default a feature
called privilege seperation, in order to minimize the effect of
exploits in the ssh network handling code. Unfortunately this release
has a few known problems:
* compression does not work on all operating systems since the code
relies on specific mmap features
* the PAM support has not been completed and may break a few PAM modules
* keyboard interactive authentication does not work with privilege
seperation. Most noticable for Debian users this breaks PAM modules
which need a PAM conversation function (like the OPIE module).
The new privilege separation support from Niels Provos changes ssh to
use a separate non-privileged process to handle most of the work. This
means that any vulnerability in this part of OpenSSH can never lead to
a root compromise but only to compromise of an unprivileged account
restricted to a chroot.
Theo made it very clear that this new version does not fix the
vulnerability. Instead, using the new privilege separation code
mitigates the vulnerability since the attacker can only gain access to
that unprivileged chroot'd account.
Since details of the problem have not been released, the move to the
latest release of OpenSSH portable, version 3.3p1, is the only known
method of mitigating the risk of the reported vulnerability.
Please note that we have not had the time to do proper QA on these
packages; they might contain bugs or break things unexpectedly. If you
notice any such problems (besides the ones mentioned in this advisory)
please file a bug-report so we can investigate.
Some notes on possible issues associated with this upgrade:
* This package introduce a new account called `sshd' that is used in
the privilege separation code. If no sshd account exists the package
will try to create one. If the account already exists it will be
re-used. If you do not want this to happen you will have to fix this
manually.
* (relevant for potato only) This update adds a backport of version
0.9.6c of the SSL library. This means you will have to upgrade the
ssl package as well.
* (relevant for potato only) This update defaults to using version 2
of the SSH protocol. This can break existing setups where RSA
authentication is used. You will either have to
- add -1 to the ssh invocation to keep using SSH protocol 1 and
your existing keys, or
- change the Protocol line in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and/or
/etc/ssh/sshd_config to "Protocol 1,2" to try protocol 1 before
protocol 2, or
- create new rsa or dsa keys for SSH protocol 2
* sshd defaults to enabling privilege seperation, even if you do not
explicitly enable it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config . Again, unless you have
"UsePrivilegeSeparation no" in your sshd_config, you will be using
privilege seperation with this package.
* If ssh does not work for you you can try to disable compression. We
included a patch from Solar Designer which should fix the problem
with Linux 2.2 kernels, but there might be a few cases where this is
not sufficient.
* (relevant for potato only) Privilege seperation does not currently
work with Linux 2.0 kernels
* If for some reason you cannot use privilege seperation (e.g.,
because you are running a 2.0 kernel) but have already installed the
openssh 3.3p1 package, you can revert to previous behavior by adding
"UsePrivilegeSeparation no" to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. *Note
that disabling privilege seperation will leave you vulnerable to the
security problem described in this advisory and should only be done on
an emergency basis.*
Some issues from previous openssh 3.3p1 packages corrected in this
advisory (not a complete changelog):
* (relevant for potato only) the installation question, "[do you want
to allow protocol 2 only" no longer defaults to "yes". Users who
answered yes to this question and also chose to regenerate their
sshd_config file found that they could no longer connect to their
server via protocol 1. See /usr/doc/ssh/README.Debian for instructions
on how to enable protocol 1 if caught in this situation.
* (relevant for potato only) the ssh package no longer conflicts with
rsh-server, nor does it provide an rsh alternative
* installation will no longer fail if users choose to generate
protocol 1 keys
Again, we regret having to release packages with larger changes and
less testing than is our usual practice; given the potential severity
and non-specific nature of the threat we decided that our users were
best served by having packages available for evaluation as quickly as
possible. We will send additional information as it comes to us, and
will continue to work on the outstanding issues.
wget url

dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
