Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : openssh (MDKSA-2001:081)

high Nessus Plugin ID 13894

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

In some circumstances, the sshd server may not honor the 'from=' option that can be associated with a key in a user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file if multiple keys are listed. This could allow key-based logins from hosts which should not be allowed access.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
